Oasis Guest House

Friendly staff, nice options for breakfast

Staff was courteous--specifically Scott, who helped us with check-in, check-out, and breakfast. Rooms were incredibly clean and ready for our stay. Bed was super comfortable and location was ideal.

The gentleman who checked me in was super gracious and informative. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The location was perfect, It is on a quiet street so close to the Prudential Center and easy access to all of Boston, just steps away. I appreciated the breakfast being included. I think students from nearby Berklee must reside here, as well, as I was serenaded with (a flute?) this morning. I would definitely stay here again.

Staying at Oasis was a wonderful experience — it truly felt like a home away from home. The bed was very comfortable, with a firm mattress and a soft, perfectly supportive pillow. The room was a bit small but clean and functional, with a comfortable temperature from a central air conditioning system. I had a room with a shared bathroom, and most of the time it was clean — I didn't feel like I was sharing it with other people. The room door is always locked from the outside, so make sure to grab your keys whenever you leave the room. Breakfast is available from 7–10 a.m. and was quite good — I enjoyed it every day before venturing into downtown Boston. Options included boiled eggs, seasonal fruits, bread, bagels and pastries, yogurt, regular coffee (no decaf option), and orange juice. The location was excellent — right in the middle of Back Bay, less than a 5-minute walk to Berklee College of Music and the Hynes Convention Center T station and bus stop, CVS and Whole Food market. I had minimal interactions with the staff, but overall they were very helpful in addressing my needs. Cons: The door handle doesn't have a double lock, which felt a bit unsecure at first since there's only the one self-locking handle. Otherwise, I had a wonderful stay.
