The Charles Hotel

This is a very reliable hotel. Although rooms are not particularly special in terms of their hard products, they do a great job adding a sophisticated touch. Also, food at Henrietta’s table is very delicious with a lot of local ingredients used.

Positive: The quiet rooms and my ability to sleep Negative: Check in staff rushed me and did not offer calm thorough information about the hotel, no offer to provide help with our luggage to our room

Upscale hotel with a great location. Very walkable to Harvard Square. Relatively busy bars and restaurants as it seems to be a meeting place for many people. Room was nice, though I could definitely hear the person walking (and showering) in the room above me. Other than the noise (and the high price), a nice hotel.

The rooms are spacious and well appointed and the location is convenient to Harvard and to restaurants and shopping. Housekeeping was very attentive the first 2 days of our 5 day stay, but then fell off. At one point, we vacated the room so they could clean only to return to full trash cans and dirty towels. We also had issues with an inability to stream video to our TVs, poor air/heat circulation between the bedroom and living room and a mattress that was not as comfortable as expected.

Room spotless. Coffee maker a bit fiddly but fine when we figured it out. Faucet water pressure a bit weak but shower pressure was fine. Bathroom fairly compact but with good fixtures, not cramped and shower itself quite spacious. Mattress extremely comfortable. Parking $50 a day, but then again this is Cambridge. Dinner at Henrietta’s very tasty with excellent service. Room service quick and efficient with very good food. Overall definitely closer to a 5 than a 4.

The Charles Hotel offers an elegant and comfortable stay with beautifully designed rooms and top-notch amenities. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, making every guest feel welcome. Its location in Harvard Square is ideal, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. A perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers seeking a sophisticated experience.

Very confortable. Well situated to visit Cambridge. Well cared for. Cozy reception. Very good size room. Nice and good restaurants.
