Guest Reviews

• Guillermo (10/5): -
• giovanni (10/5): Nice to be in Porter Square - Small but good room, kind staff, great location
• Eileen (8/5): Great location on Massachusetts Avenue, clean, comfortable beds. - Cleanliness. Location. Upgrade of room, very thoughtful. Specifics of hospitality...good local eateries, where was recharging station, what level of power? I got the mistaken impression that we could charge our electric car at the hotel parking garage.
• Hiroyuki (9/5): - 部屋にクリーニングがこないのが、かえってよかった。 特になし
• Ashutosh (9/5): Excellent place. The unassuming traditional building is so different from the modern and near inside. Staff was super co - 1. Excellent location - red line metro, eating places 2. Very courteous staff 3. Clean and hygienic Room was a bit tight, but not bad at all.
• Marinko Pešo (9/5): Was a great hotel for my short stay, would definitely come here again - Great location, right next to the red line, makes moving around the city super easy. Hotel was clean, staff was friendly, rooms are nice although a bit smaller. Room is missing some closet area to store clothes, and the shower seems a bit outdated, and its leaking water when showering so the floor outside is wet. Nothing too dramatic, but impacts the overall experience
• Luna (9/5): -
• Victor Javier (8/5): -
• Williams (8/5): -
• Kgothatso (6/5): - Great location and friendly staff. Very tiny room with no cupboard space
• Shaboyan (6/5): - The location is perfect right in front of a metro. Good breakfasts are shared to us. The personnel are on average good except few. Technical glitches always in the room. I struggled too much to turn the ventilation system off and ended up staying in an another room for a night.
• Erin (10/5): - Clean and 7close to everything
• Hubertha (8/5): -
• Astrid (6/5): - Too much noise.
• Nicole (8/5): Die Lage ist top, in 10min downtown mit der red line - Lage gut. Schade, dass die Fenster nicht geöffnet werden können dadurch ist die Luft abgestanden und der Teppich im Zimmer macht es nicht besser. Bett bequem Luftqualität, sehr kleine zimmer ohne schrank o abstellmöhlichkeit für kleider. Twin bed, 2 koffer…eng
• Kathleen (9/5): Friendly and close to all the action. - A good location and a quiet room. The valet was friendly as was the check in staff. The room was comfortable and close to the music shows that I came to see. Would happily stay there again. The restaurant was closed for a function. Which actually was fine.
• Kirsten (8/5): Nice choice for Cambridge - Lovely staff, nice view out of back, near subway and restaurants. Bed was comfortable and I liked having coffee maker in room. Downstairs restaurant and bar was lovely for a light bite in evening. No joke, rooms are small with no closets. Fine for short stays. As is common in many hotels, you hear hallway noise and neighbors talking.
• mark (9/5): All good - Stayed there a lot consistently good
• Julie (7/5): Great location, but difficult parking and a too small room with no fridge. - Location was excellent. Valet parking sign was blocked by a van. No directions to park. Room was very cramped and there was no mini fridge (which for the price there should have been)
• Bogdan (10/5): -
• Jaagup (10/5): -
• Martin (9/5): Prima hotel dichtbij het metro station - Prima hotel met moderne kamers en goede voorzieningen. De kamer werd elke dag goed verzorgd en schoongemaakt. Goede locatie dichtbij het metro station en een winkelgebied. Ongeveer 20 minuten met de metro naar het centrum. De wifi verbinding in de kamer was niet altijd voldoende.
• Daniela (7/5): -
• Mcnally (8/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): World class comfort - Easy to find, valet parking, hassle free check in, comfortable bed and room amenities, great coffee maker and restaurant! Service was fantastic and friendly! Would stay here again every time! Not one thing I didn’t like about it.

• Radu (10/5): Excellent choice for Boston - everything was perfect - location, very clean, friendly staff, excellent conditions there was nothing I did not like
• Victoria (10/5): Quarto super confortável e transporte próximo em Cambridge. - Quarto super espaçoso, cama deliciosa e tudo muito limpo. Muito perto da linha vermelha do metrô. Um target e uma CVS do outro lado da rua. Filtro de água disponível 24/7, assim como máquina de café. No quarto também tinha a máquina de café. Roupão e chinelinho disponíveis no quarto. Gostei de tudo.
• wengang (8/5): 还不错 -
• Jarosław (10/5): - Bliskość metra , market w pobliżu , dobre azjatyckie restauracje
• PABLO (2/5): - La amabilidad del personal de limpieza Iba por una maratón. Todos los hoteles dejaban hacer el check out más tarde pero este hotel no. A pesar de ver a las chicas de la limpieza el día anterior haciendo habitaciones a las 16h
• Insook (8/5): -
• Robert (9/5): - The bed is a bit small for me.
• Matthew (8/5): - Clean smart hotel near the T Small room, bit expensive
• John (10/5): - Super convenient to the Red Line to get to/from the airport and Harvard. Great value. No snacks for purchase - not even a vending machine
• Sonja (7/5): -
• ciarán (8/5): -
• BEATRIZ LILIANA (10/5): Excelente - La excelente predisposición del personal, que la mayor parte hablara español, que nos dieran la cantidad de agua mineral, café y leche que necesitáramos, que la habitación estuviera disponible antes de lo esperado, que el check out fuera a las 12, la limpieza y la estética.
• Vasileios (8/5): -
• Marin (8/5): -
• Enrique (7/5): Fine but not excellent - Location close to subway station and nearby restaurants. Restaurant in the hotel serves great breakfast and dinner. Room cleaning&servicing only upon request. One day we requested it and it didn´t happen and no reason was provided. Overall a bit too pricey for the size and quality of the room.
• Juan (9/5): -
• Ian (9/5): -
• Chotiros (8/5): - Close to the train station and a convenience store. There is a microwave, refrigerator,ice maker, and coffee machince at basement floor. There is a little bit of noise from the next room, even when they close the door and are talking.
• Efthymia (9/5): A great little hotel at a very convenient location in Cambridge. I would stay there again. - The hotel is a lovely little hotel at Porter Square (across the street) where there is a CVS and many restaurants, a wine store, a store with ceramics from local artists that is wonderful for gifts, a Target, and bars, so the hotel is situated at a very convenient location. The Porter metro station is also across the street (3-minute walk from the hotel) that takes you anywhere you like in Boston, including Kendall Square/MIT on the red line (no change of trains). The Harvard campus and Harvard square is a nice 23-minute walk. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are very small; there was no fridge in my room and no proper closet, but I knew that and I did not mind. Rooms and the hotel are very clean. There is a nice restaurant/bar inside the hotel where you can have breakfast and dinner or a drink. The beds are comfortable. I would stay there again. If you travel for work in this area of Boston, it is a great little hotel at a great location in Cambridge, that you'll enjoy for sure. It would be nice if there could be a small fridge in the room. I did not like that the music on the floors is a little loud during the day and you can hear it when you are in the room: If you travel internationally, this can be a problem as you need to rest/sleep and adjust to the time difference or if you need to work in the room. Also, I did not like that the shower heads cannot be adjusted: the shower cabin is small so you need to turn off and on the water to wash long hair properly, and you have to cope with a little cold water in the beginning, which is a minor nuance -nothing tragic.
• Dayna (8/5): Wonderful and comfortable - Location was extremely convenient. My only suggestion would be to put a luggage stand in the room.
• Paolo (9/5): -
• Ibaven (10/5): Great stay. Great staff. Great location. 10/10 recommend. - Great location. The T was very accessible. The bed was not very comfortable
• Tehseen (7/5): - Front desk staff, Stacey was very welcoming and friendly. Dusty/ musty smell in the room.
• Marie (8/5): Great choice for a short trip - Small but clean and functional room, with a comfortable bed. I enjoyed the coffee and water station downstairs and the staff was super nice and helpful. Great location near the T, and some shops and restaurants. Easy to get to from the airport. Good shower, though a larger person may find that the door to the shower is a tight squeeze. No chemical fragrances in the room or common spaces. The wallpaper and general decor felt a little dated. I would have appreciated a suitcase rack. It's a perfectly adequate room otherwise.
• Adrienne (2/5): They brought my luggage to police department because I was in hospital - Nothing I left my luggage at hotel and I ended up going to emergency room and they brought my luggage to police station . Why?
• Katerina (9/5): -
• Gail A (10/5): Enjoy the accommodations, whether staying in for a day or the convenience of being out for a day. W - Perfect location. Friendliness of staff. Comfortable room I liked everything,
• Iana (9/5): - Если еще раз приеду в Бостон - останусь здесь. Местоположение - СУПЕР! До метро 2 минуты, рядом много огромных магазинов, кафе, ресторанов, в общем месторасположение 10 из 10. Номер был современный и чистый Слышимость номеров. Номера Очень тесные. Я была одна в номере, но вот вдвоем бы было точно тесно. У меня протекала душевая кабинка. Но все готова простить за цену и расположение отеля. Для путешественника это важно.

• Albert (10/5): Excellent facilities. - Location and easy access to the subway.
• Achraf (8/5): -
• Anthony Urgilés (10/5): EXCELENTE LUGAR - Me gustó mucho donde estan ubicados porque tienen muchos lugares de comida y entretenimiento muy cerca del Hotel. Además que tiene una estación del tren muy cerca y una parada del bus. No hay algo que no me gustó, creo que todo estuvo bien. Tal vez mejoraría un poco la entrada al Hotel ya que fui cuando estaba nevando, todo estaba lleno de nieve y agua, eso dificultaba el poder subirse al auto, pero es algo muy minimo.
