User Reviews of Filenes Basement

Yelp.com Review - by Alexandra D.

2.0 of 5 stars. This particular Filene's Basement kinda sucks. Unless you like Vineyard Vines. I got a couple shirts here that I like by this company called C and C or something like that, because they're made in the...

Yelp.com Review - by emily a.

2.0 of 5 stars. I've been here about 5 times, and 4 out of 5 times have left empty handed. I don't love the selection of clothing they stock here... most of it seems more for the 50 crowd, but that probably has a...

4.0 of 5 stars. I came here when I was waiting for a friend and ended up finding myself at some weird charity event in Filene's where there was wine and food being handed out by rejected male models in tight black...

Yelp.com Review - by Rebecca M.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have to say I prefer this Filene's to the one on 14th St. and 6th Ave. (Ave. of the Americas). The staff wasn't so professional, but I did appreciate their shoe selection and all the great work wear...

3.0 of 5 stars. Not the biggest nor the cleanest Filenes. I prefer the one on 6th ave under Bed Bath and Beyond - I always manage to buy at least a couple things when I go to that one. This one? Not so much. Usually...

2.0 of 5 stars. To find a deal here you have to go thru racks and racks of clothes. And if you are lucky you may find one or two items. I'd stick to Century 21 where it's easier to find stuff and the deals are...

lilaguide | Not so great

I did not like this store at all. Poor customer service, limited plus size selection, more on expensive side. No restrooms.

Yelp.com Review - by Tony U.

3.0 of 5 stars. Go on-line shopping for clothes. It's more convenient and less of an expedition. 90% of the clothing is garbage, unless you're considering repeat purchases such as a white long sleeved shirt or a...
