    A slightly larger room at the price point would've been great.

    Excellent service, particularly from the butler. Enjoyed the gym and spa. The "speakeasy" wasn't exactly a speakeasy, but was also a fun time.

    Asked the people at Butler to make a dinner reservation . They called me back later to confirm the reservation. Arriving at the restaurant in due time I was told there was no reservation on my name an that they had not received a call from Raffles. The hole situation was very uncomfortable and annoying. I took the matter to the front desk but so far I didn't receive any clarification from the hotel.

    Good breakfast, but I still prefer the European mix of buffet and a la carte menu. The attention of the service as a whole is excellent. William, for example, went far and beyond to fix a problem regarding mirroring my cellphone to the room Tv.

    Views from the rooms leave a lot to be desired but it’s a function of the hotel’s location on the street.

    Rooms are luxurious and beautifully appointed. Staff went out of their way to address any issues. All public are stunning.

    Raffles is hands down the best hotel in Boston and one of the best (if not the best) hotels in the USA. Everything is top level frmo service to amenities. And their lounge with a terrace and city view is the best

    The worst thing ;-) was when I asked for a soft boiled egg and got a hard boiled egg (once, in 4 breakfasts).

    Everything was superb. The staff, the breakfast on the terrace, our diner in the Portuguese restaurant, coctails at the Long Bar. The concierge was great as well, in service and communiation by whatsapp. When we left we were asked what could be improved and we could not come up with one single thing. Excellent.
