Real reviews from guests
"Yawkey Family Inn/Family-Patient Housing via Boston Children's Hospital is a true lifesaver staffed by incredibly kind, generous, and understanding people! We had to stay for a week, and right after I confirmed our reservation (two days before we went) I got a notice from the hospital that they needed us there the day before we were meant to go. I called Yawkey and asked if there was any way they had space to add a night for us and we..."
"I can not say enough nice things about this place. The place is clean and inviting, the staff is friendly, kind and helpful. Above all, if you have a child at Boston Children's Hospital and you need a place to stay,.try and get into here. You must fill out an application at Patient Family Housing."
"The Inn was clean and the staff welcoming and helpful. We had a small refrigerator in our room which was helpful and then a space in a larger cooler on the main level with a full kitchen to prepare our own food. Some days there was breakfast treats. There was a washer and dryer on the lower level for residents use. Room 37 had a light outside the door that stayed on all night and shined in around the door..."
"A truly sobering place for patients and their family. It's a place of relief and pondering for recovering patients and their relatives going through life changing times. I truly appreciate the staff and donors for the support they provide to a noble cause"

"My goodness, where to start! The staff are excellent and the house is in a great neighborhood and close to the hospital. We were in Boston for our daughter’s surgery and they allowed us to stay here and the accommodations were excellent. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained."
"We have been coming to Boston Children's hospital for 11 years, but this was our first stay at Yawkey. It has made our healing journey much easier than staying at hotels. The kitchen and laundry alone has made recovery feel like home away from home. And the staff is very polite and helpful. And the shuttle has also helped with expenses quite a bit!"
