Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, The Dagny Boston, in Financial District, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's barely a stroll from the centre of Boston, and the strong location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out on-site parking, reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With well over 2,200 reviews on the books and a genuinely glowing average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €311 a night and the value score puts it in a middle-of-the-road bracket compared with similar properties. Stack The Dagny Boston against the better-known names in Boston and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
