Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Hotel Veritas

8/10 Good

"The rooms were wonderful, the design was modern and well done. The rooms smelled great and were very clean. The service was impecable, all of the desk clerks were welcoming, helpful, courteous and personable-impressive. The location was just a few blocks from harvard., which was convenient if you didn’t want to hassle with trying to find parking and because we booked through Expedia, our parking was free- kudos to Expedia. The only reason I took away a star was that the air conditioning did not cool the room enough-the system may have been broken in that room, they did come in and try to adjust it but it did not help. I also would have loved to have had a mini fridge in the room. The hotel did offer great twenty-hour access to fairly good coffees, espressos, chai, and teas in the main lobby. I would definitely stay there again. Although I would check on the air conditioning issue."

Porter Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Boston for a short stay and this was perfect!"

The Royal Sonesta Boston

8/10 Good

"It was a nice hotel. The room and bathroom were very dark. No option for brighter lighting. Cold/ hot water in bathroom was hard to figure out. The parking garage elevator was not working and the parking spaces in the garage were tiny. Someone was parked so closely that I had to craw in my car through the back. The front desk had no items that you may have forgotten such as toothbrush or ibuprofen and the only place to purchase was the Starbucks in the hotel that was only open until 3 pm"

Le Méridien Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Bel endroit, propre, près du métro."

Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent
