Hotels near Harvard Square, Cambridge

The breakfast was delicious: the choice and quality of food provided exceeded expectations by far; the hotel keeps a historic and traditional charm in virtually every aspect but remains comfortable at all times;

The Charles is really a great classic hotel - a solid choice. Perfect location in Harvard Square, excellent quality in all respects, refined décor, pleasant and helpful staff. It's great having 2 good restaurants in the hotel.

The room was clean and there was free coffee and water. Excellent location!

From the second I drew up to the front, Victor was there to welcome me with a smile and help with my luggage. Erin checked me in and was wonderfully cheerful which was so lovely after a long day of travelling & she remained the same throughout my stay. The staff here couldn’t do enough for me & all gave the impression that they love their jobs and are happy to be there (we all know this is rare these days!) I’m so glad I stayed here now before it gets so well known. As I was leaving the building it started to rain, without hesitation I was handed an umbrella and told to keep it. A genuine heartfelt thank you to all the staff that I saw/met and those I didn’t. I hope to return again. And just remember…. No Scotland, No Party!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My room was huge and super comfortable. It had everything I needed. It is located super close to a bus stop that I used to arrive punctually to my destination in less than 10 minutes. There is a mall just next door, a Starbucks and a Dunkin' donuts, and the restaurant at the hotel is pretty good. Maria, the kitchen supervisor, is the sweetest person and one of the better aspects of my visit. She offers an outstanding customer service and makes the best Martini's!

Amazing ameneties, great staff and very spacious room! The parking right around the hotel was an amazing plus as well. All in all a great place to stay for anyone trying to visit Cambridge or the Boston area in general. Right next to the Hotel you will find a Star market as well as a Starbucks and a McDonalds - just in case the Hotels ameneties are not the right fit flor you. I can only recommend!

Very comfortable room with a picturesque view from the window. I like staying here. We asked to extend our staying for 1 hour and got it for free. Reception managers were very kind and helpful. Good location - not far from Harvard, MIT and Boston center.

Great location. Close to all the terrific diners in Watertown. Staff is friendly and exceptionally responsive. Rooms were recently renovated and the amenities are superior which includes the best lobby coffee maker and hotel/motel coffee I have ever had---there is a Dominos and liquor store across the street. And there is also an excellent walking trail along the Charles River which is only two blocks away.

The room was big and comfortable Nice breakfast

The room was larger and had more facilities than my first flat !

It is hard to understand why this hotel gets so many negative feedbacks. My experience was a totally different one: Check-in was prompt, smooth and efficient. There was no strange food or other smell anywhere in the building. The room was large and clean, towels, shampoo, toilet paper etc were provided and everything was fully functional. As some reviews mentioned that there wasn’t any cooking equipment, cutlery, glasses, plates in the kitchen: this is correct BUT there is a clear note onnthe table that such SANITISED items will be delivered to the room upon contacting reception, s solution I favour rather than using half cleaned items left from a previous guest. The area is quiet as it is an area where many hotels are located but still Boston city and airport are only a 30 min drive away. From the hotel there are also walking paths through Prospect Hill Park with fine views over Boston skyline and bay. Restaurants in walking distance and large food market 5 min drive. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
