The Spotlight on Found Hotel Boston Common

Historic Charm Meets Music-Lover Convenience in the Heart of Boston

Found Hotel Boston Common blends vintage charm with modern comfort in an unbeatable downtown location. Built in 1877, this classically styled boutique hotel sits just steps from Boston Common and places you right in the heart of the city’s Theater District. With cozy rooms, free Wi-Fi, and around-the-clock service, it's a perfect home base for concert-goers looking to experience Boston’s buzzing live music scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the walkability here—the Citi Performing Arts Center-Wang Theater is less than 1,000 feet away, and the Cutler Majestic Theater is just around the corner. This means you can catch your favorite artist and be back in your room within minutes. The 24-hour front desk is great for late arrivals, and the hotel’s peaceful, quieter vibe makes it ideal for post-show wind-downs. Public transport options are abundant, with rails and buses within a half-mile radius.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central stay
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want a quiet space to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who don’t want to sacrifice location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're surrounded by a wide variety of walkable dining options—from late-night pizza joints to upscale restaurants. Boston’s Theater District is known for its food scene, and breakfast spots are plentiful for those slower mornings after a big night out. Room service isn’t available, but the front desk staff is happy to help with local recommendations.

Nightlife Options

You're in the heart of Boston’s nightlife. The area is dotted with lively bars, lounges, and live music venues, many within walking distance. Whether you’re looking for a craft cocktail, a local brew, or a dance floor, you’ll find plenty of options just steps from the hotel.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the location for being close to major theaters and music venues. Many mention the hotel’s historic character and value for money. Travelers appreciate the clean rooms, friendly staff, and the convenience of being able to explore by foot or public transit.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel’s historic charm also means some rooms can feel a bit snug, especially for groups with lots of gear. There’s no elevator, so those with mobility concerns may want to request a lower floor. Also, while there’s no on-site bar or restaurant, the surrounding neighborhood more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

Found Hotel Boston Common is a charming, affordable choice for concert-goers who want to be steps away from the action yet enjoy a comfortable night’s rest in the heart of Boston.

Not for the elderly

Liked: Location,cleanliness,Dillon on reception who was exceptionally helpful.
Disliked: The very small room,the bed which had a hard wooden base we kept banging our legs on and we could only get in by crawling across it,we are in our 70s so was difficult.The bed was also extremely uncomfortable, the worst we have ever slept in and we have travelled a lot.there was no place to put our suitcases we had to lay them on the floor and keep stepping over them again risky in your 70s,nowhere to put anything down only the windowsill.The safe was on the floor of the wardrobe we had to get on our knees and could hardly see the numbers.Also we did not know till we arrived that there were 6 steep steps up to the hotel entrance, we had 2 heavy cases as we had been touring around this hotel is only suitable for short stopover with small luggage not for elderly people

Solid location, subpar building

Liked: Location was great
Disliked: The building is very old, elevators are also very old and smelly. Rooms are small and beds are even smaller. It felt like sleeping in a closet. Also there's basically very bad lighting that somehow interrupts my sleep. I basically didn't get a good night's sleep when I was there
