The Gilded Lily is an intimate and charming guesthouse in the South End of Boston. The location convenient to the South End and Back Bay in a loveley neighborhood setting making me feel like I had my own Brownstone in Boston. The proprietor Mr. Cullion is an Architect by profession which is evident in the fine attention to detail in... More

We stayed in Boston only for one night but this was great. The room was large, clean, well decorated with ample seating. The breakfast table in the room was nice and you could have setup your computer here and worked very nicely. The bathroom was clean and spacious for the era of the house. The only issue I found was... More

Went to Boston to see my niece graduate from Boston University and was joined by my sister, a family friend and my other niece. The four of us shared the Parlor Room and the Garden Room which are joined by the shared kitchen and because we were one big group could move between the two rooms through the kitchen and... More

Somewhat oddly I ended up staying at the Gilded Lily while in Boston for business. While I would not necessarily recommend it of this (there are many accommodations closer to downtown Boston), it is a gorgeous B&B with spacious rooms, en suite bathrooms and kitchens (shared one per two rooms). It is located in South End, which is a really... More

Stayed in the Guilded Lilly for 3 nights in October. The first night was in the top floor Garden room before moving into the 1st floor Parlour room for the next 2 nights. Both rooms were great and the whole building was beautiful and in a really great location for walking. On the top floor the shared kitchen is separate... More

The Gilded Lily is perfectly located for a trip to Boston, close to the subway system and within walking distance of many attractions such as The Huntington Theatre, Symphony Hall and Newberry Street. It is very comfortable and very clean. Indeed, except that there was no new paint smell, I'd almost swear it had been repainted for our visit. However,... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gilded Lily. It was serene and lovely to stay in an apartment-like setting in a brownstone. Everything was in walking distance. The breakfast could have been more impressive, but everything else was perfect.

What a fantastic little B&B, surrounded by residential Boston, located well within a reasonable walking distance to downtown. Coffee shops and picturesque parks, old buildings and general New England charm jump out at you on every corner. The rooms are clean, well-furnished (with New England charm) and are currently home to my wife and I for the next few chilly... More

Had a wonderful time in this lovely brownstone b&b. There is so much attention to detail and the value is just amazing. Spacious, comfortable, good location and helpful amenities. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Will definitely return!

My partner and I stayed in Parlor Room 2 this past weekend on a pleasure trip to Boston. We selected The Gilded Lily as our home away from home based upon a good amount of research, including reading through the reviews on tripadvisor. Our experience was outstanding. This is a beautiful and wonderfully appointed property in the lovely South End... More
