First and foremost, each and every member of the staff is OUTSTANDING. We stayed for 9 nights and everyone made us feel right at home, made sure minor problems were fixed, super warm and polite. The hotel itself is lovely - quite new, modern, with a fantastic gym. Great location if you have events at or near Harvard.

This is a wonderful location, a few minutes to Central Square MRT/Subway station, walking distance to Harvard and MIT, and with a lot of great restaurants and supermarkets around. The recommendation of cafe and healthy restaurants in the Sonder App is super helpful. And I especially aprpeciate the discount day pass at the nearby gym.

Nice place. Well located. Room very tidy and clean. A bit expensive. But everything seems crazily high lately.

Visit the Coop (for books and music) and read the historical markers as you walk around-one can feel the presence of revolutionary heroes, scholars, and artists, and feel the New England sense of self sufficiency.
