Comfortable hotel. Clean and with all the basics that you need. Rooms are super spacious. It is well located for when I travel for business and near Cambridge Street with a lot of restaurants and services. It’s well located to access the city center from there too.
I will definitively stay here again!

Friendly and flexible staff except in the Japanese Steakhouse where they were cold. The hotel staff promptly moved me from a room in the pot-smelling 14th floor to a smoke-free top floor when I complained about the smell. Good location.

Stayed in Cambridge to attend a graduation at Boston University. We were just close enough for it to be a very short drive, but did not have to immediately deal with school traffic. There were many stores and restaurants nearby, with good access to major roads to simplify travel.

Cambridge is beautiful, a fascinating place, but we were running around for several work events and didn't see much. VERY congested, so we relied on Lyfts to get around. But, so much to see, packed with beautiful historic architecture. Lots of trendy food places (often a little strange).

Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk around. The streets are clean, the parks are beautifully maintained and there is stunning historic architecture, as well as quaint shops and eateries everywhere. We particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful Memorial Hall. It's a pity visitors can't look inside, into the Annenberg Hall dining area, but we appreciate that the Harvard students may not like an audience whilst eating : ). The Harvard University of Natural History is fantastic and the Glass Flowers exhibit is a must-see! Being a rower, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful Weld Boathouse and Newell Boathouse and watching crews row up and down the Charles River. If you love books, The COOP bookstore is well worth a visit and if you enjoy ice-cream, I would highly recommend getting a Taiyaki (Japanese ice-cream) from Taiyaki NYC in Church Street. The ramen at Boston Ramen at 24 Holyoke Street was delicious and I would highly recommend grabbing a waffle and coffee from the food truck parked in the Harvard Science Center Plaza. If you're going into Boston, I would highly recommend the Boston Tea Party Ships and museum experience (an excellent interactive, re enactment experience), having a ride on the beautiful Greenway Carousel and walking through the Boston Common, seeing the 'Make way for ducks' statue and, for the 'Cheers' tv series fans, visiting the Cheers bar.

Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff.
Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff. Booked in advance, was quoted $186 tax included. But, at check-in I was notified that it cost $25 per day, per parking spot and a $75 fee that would be returned (5 to 7 days) after checkout. Plus they wanted $20 per person for breakfast. Total: $326 for 2 people for one night. Nice place, but won't spend that to stay there again.

It's in a good location for Cambridge, and even not far from Boston amenities. It is NOT right near Harvard campus, though, if that's what you're looking for ... but not far.
The facility is fine - an inn, not a hotel, but with room amenities of a hotel.

If you walk to Harvard, you can enjoy watching red leaves on the way.
As Harvard square is a walking distance, shopping, sightseeing and joining conference are very convenient. You can enjoy Continental and sophisticated atmosphere because the University of Harvard is very near.
It's quaint old school, tree lined quiet street, vintage style older building. Clean rooms. Reminds me of old European hotels. 24/7 concierge, fountain water, fridge, coffee always available. Great breakfast with organic milk, quiche and delicious whole grain toast. Even the different languages heard in the breakfast room reminds you of traveling in Europe. So so easy to walk to Harvard square, good little coffee and sandwich shop just next block. And free parking all make this a wonderful stay in Cambridge at a fantastic price.
The rooms were well appointed and clean. The addition of a cafe table and window nook seating was useful. The hotel is well located with walking access to MIT and walking/bus/T/car access to Harvard. It was very easy to find metered street parking, and you do not pay between about 6 pm and 8 am. Download the Cambridge parking app, and you can add two hours on your street parking as soon as you wake up. There are three or four bakeries within a three-block walk for morning breakfast, including a Japanese bakery inside the H Mart.
This hotel is a gem. Impeccably decorated. The staff is warm and wonderful. Quiet, which is amazing given that it's right off busy Mass Ave and near Harvard Yard. The room was perfect. Small, but big enough to do everything we needed to do, including participating in several meetings via Zoom. Would definitely stay here again. This is a tough area to find a hotel, so we were grateful to discover this sweet spot.
It is only 7 min easy walking distance to Davis Square, so it has an ideal location if you have a student at Tufts University where you can use the shuttle at no cost. You can also take the Red Line to Boston City Center.
The hotel does not offer breakfast (only tea and coffee) but across the street is Pemberton Market where you can find lots of different things to eat and drink.
The area is quiet and safe.
Hotel 1868 is really great! It's right opposite the Porter metro station and there are plenty of restaurants nearby (towards Harvard or Davis Sq). The staff were young and really friendly. My room was fantastic: spacious and modern with an enclosed balcony type window over the street. The bathroom was above average and the bed was comfortable. There was a desk for working and the WiFi was fast. A great stay.
I love the Charles Hotel, which is why we come back year after year. It's the best location for Head of the Charles Regatta weekend, and walking distance to our daughter's dorm at Harvard. They welcome our Great Dane with open arms! And they got new pillows, which is the only gripe I've had in the past. Perfection!
Hotel is well appointed and in a great position. Right across from the T station for Boston centre and 5 minute bus ride to Harvard Square. Lots of good cafes and eateries within walking distance. Very easy to get to Logan airport via red line and SL1 bus. I will stay here again when next in Boston.
Super location right near Central Square and a short walk to several key bus routes. Located at MIT, and a nice 20 min walk to Harvard. And Cambridge is so pretty. Hotel is updated and seemed to be managed well. Love the Keurig machine in the room and the water bottle filler near the ice machine.
The hotel is not at all value for money. No room cleaning service. the bed has strong weird smell. The light in the room was not functioning well. Very far away from bus station. Noise from nearby construction site every morning. Would never stay in this hotel again and won’t recommend to anyone
I liked that there was a different selection of breakfast each day. The room was excellent and clean, with an air conditioner. There are many places around, like shops and restaurants, that you can choose from. For example, I was in the star market next to the hotel and the Chinese restaurant.
The staff was very helpful, and the location was perfect for us. Our double room was super comfortable and spotless - also very charmingly decorated. The whole hotel is well set up with good options for meeting others, food and just taking a break in the lobby areas.
The room was well kept, great views of Boston, the staff were extremely great, accommodating, The restaurant staff were the best! Enjoyed chatting with our waitress and bartender both days we stayed. Great Central location, quiet neighborhood near MIT, T and more
Very clean, sleek interior. Reasonably sized rooms. Nice location and easy to get into central Boston and Cambridge on the T. The restaurant was a delight - welcoming staff, delicious food and very reasonably priced!
Excellent in every way. Professional and friendly service. Good rooms. Love the firehouse history. Breakfast was the best "American buffet breakfast" I have had outside of a 5 star hotel. Best bacon I've had in usa
Room was clean, not too big but fine.
Bed was good.
Friendly staff.
The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the "center" of Cambridge where you can take the metro and travel to Boston.
