Hilton Garden Inn Boston Brookline, Ma
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if being close to the Longwood hospitals, the Fenway museums and the subway matters more to you than the guest score, since it is the nearest of our three Brookline picks to those places. Expect to pay extra for things like water and breakfast, which is the main guest complaint, and note that our Budget pick was cheaper and better rated in the reference sample.

This 3-star Hilton Garden Inn at 700 Brookline Ave suits visitors who want to walk. Guests say it is near hospitals and museums, with a short walk to the subway station. If you are seeing a patient, catching a game or spending a day at the museums, the position does a lot of the work.
It also has the largest review base of our three Brookline picks, 488 reviews, so its score is the most tested.
Skip it if you dislike paying for extras. Guests report high charges for water and breakfast that do not match the level of service.
Location and getting around
The location score is 8.8. On straight-line estimates, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is 1.4 km away, around 18 minutes on foot. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is 1.8 km, about 23 minutes. Fenway Park is 2.1 km, about 26 minutes.
All three are within a reasonable walk, closer than from our other two Brookline picks. Walking times are estimates and have not been checked on foot.
For longer trips, guests mention the subway station a short walk from the hotel. We do not name specific lines, so check routes for your plans.
What guests say
The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 488 reviews. Among the 3 eligible properties compared, that was the lowest guest score, in third place.
Praise centres on two things. First, the location near hospitals, museums and the subway. Second, the staff, described as friendly, polite and helpful at both the front desk and in housekeeping.
The complaint is about money. Guests say extra costs for water and breakfast are high and do not match the service quality.
Price and how it stacks up against our other picks
The reference price was 272.52 euros a night, about 545.04 euros for the stay. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
That figure matched the sample median exactly. Our Budget pick, Homewood Suites by Hilton Boston Brookline-Longwood Medical, came in at 256 euros with a higher score of 8.5. Our Luxury pick, Iris Hotel Boston, was 335.24 euros with an 8.9 and 4 stars.
To be straight about it: on price and score alone, the Budget pick looked the better deal in that sample. The case for this hotel is its walking distances and its large, steady review record.
Why it made our top 3
Only 3 properties in Brookline met our criteria, so each of them filled one slot. The Best Value slot balances guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price. It does not go to the cheapest hotel by default.
Here, 488 reviews and a mid-market price carried it into that slot. With such a small field, compare it directly with the other two for your own dates.
