Why We Love This Hotel
- Following a $21 million renovation in 2018, Studio Allston now features floor-to-ceiling contemporary artwork from 22 national and local artists
- Eater Boston calls on-site Casa Caña restaurant "a rum-filled taste of Havana"
- Located in the trendy Allston neighborhood -- walkable to the Harvard campus, 10 minutes driving to Fenway Park and 15 minutes to downtown
Overview
You'd be hard pressed to find a hotel that's more exuberantly artsy than Studio Allston: 22 artists from around the country collaborated to produce the funky sculptures and vibrant paintings that adorn just about every vertical surface, including a wall-consuming "technicolor pop-art mural" (The Telegraph) in the lobby.
Then there are the guest rooms. Decorated in a monochromatic gray palette offset by deep-purple suede chairs and -- you guessed it -- more art, rooms come with modern necessities like flat-screen TVs and overlook the neighborhood or the nearby Charles River. We suggest upgrading to a Studio Suite for an extra 190 square feet of space as well as a separate living and bedroom area.
The on-site Casa Caña restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has already received praise from Eater and the Boston Globe. There's also a late-night bar menu available daily until 2 a.m. -- we're particularly fond of the Paté de Jamón with a side of plantain chips. Guests staying over the weekend can sample the brunch menu, which includes Latin-inspired cocktails and twists on hardy breakfast classics -- both of which come in handy after a night out in Allston.

The concept is and design of the overall hotel is cool but the room wasn't worth the price.

The hotel is just a basic hotel with a pretentious artsy veneer on top. However, it is the resort fee (or facility fee) that makes this a bad deal. The hotel is no resort and has few facilities. How many guests take advantage of the free "tango" lessons? There is no in-room coffee maker, how about that for my extra $20?

Funky hotel with rooms decorated by different artists. The room was comfortable with good beds. We appreciated the follow-up by the hotel staff after checking in. The Cuban restaurant in the hotel was not to our taste. But with Harvard only a 30 minute walk away, there were plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. And a Trader Joe's only an 8 minute walk for DIY lunches and dinners!

Our room faced the river and it was a pleasure to get up in the morning and watch the rowers training in their sculls.

Cool hotel with funky, artsy vibe near Harvard. It was a 10 minute Uber to/from Fenway Park for the Sox game.
Great staff and easy check-in. AWESOME, Comfortable beds !! Good shower, with high enough showerhead and plenty of pressure.
The only downside for me …. The walls were a bit thin, both interior and exterior. I I did hear noise on and off through the night. Still not enough of an annoyance to make me not visit here again.

I wish I had time to eat or have a cocktail at the Rum Bar at this hotel. It looked very inviting, and the menu looked delicious !
