I loved this hotel. Everything was great
Hilary
Hotel 1868 is very comfortable and gives good value for the price. The room was compact but well-designed and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
John
Clean, charming, and well located … very friendly staff.
Jamie
Nice property. The room was clean and modern. We arrived about an hour and a half before check in. Our room was ready so they let us check in without us having to ask.
Ashley
Great location,
Jocelyn
Love how close to the subway it was. So many friendly staff members. Super clean.
Todd
Great location. Friendly people.
Rajat
Great spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a complaint at the very end of my stay. It was about 30 minutes before checkout and I was sitting in the room before leaving and an employee entered without knocking saw me and left. When I opened the door and confronted the male employee (there was a female employee there too), I asked what was going on, I hadn't checked out yet, I was told \"it's ok\". I assured both of them that it sure wasn't ok at all (the door still had that DND sign on the door). I was extremely uncomfortable, less uncomfortable than I would have been at 3 am. I mentioned it at checkout and they said they would talk to them.
Otherwise, my stay was fine. Clean room, good bed, TV worked fine and the location was convenient.

I wanted proximity to the university and the hotel is just a few blocks walking distance from the university, as well as right across the street from a metro station that will also take you to the university.
clean room, good staff, no issues. great Taiwanese/Chinese restaurant down the street toward the University and a great Irish pub with live music in the opposite direction. Pharmacy and grocery store across the street near the metro.
What more could you ask for.

Amber
Fabulously clean, quiet, very comfortable bed. Lighting in bathroom could be better, also be careful to put that metal chair back under the desk before you go to bed or you will stub your toe very hard on it in the middle of the night! Avail yourself of the complimentary bottled water at front desk as the tap is all warm and undrinkable
Lori
Great location and amazing staff.
Thomas
Would have appreciated a full size ironing board instead of the mini one provided as I almost burned myself three times using it as it tipped over. A small fridge and alarm clock would have been useful as we had some pastries that needed to be kept cold along with some drinks. Otherwise, we had a very nice experience. Clean, quiet and affordable. The housekeeping staff were very friendly and helpful. The valet service did a good job with my vehicle also. We will gladly return again.
Ann
We were able to use the gym showers before we took a night time flight home. The room was fantastic clean and we loved the cafe in the library opposite for breakfast.
Alan
Really good hotel with helpful staff in good area. Would defo come back again
Sarah
Very clean well maintained - no notes!!
Julie
Great location! Great dining options all around and steps away from The T that will take you anywhere you want to go
Elizabeth
I really liked the simplicity of my room, and the bed was super comfortable.
Frederic
Good cheaper option for Boston across the redline. Recommend it
Julie
Convenient location and very comfortable
Michelle
Small room but well organized. Next to Hotel is Cafe Nero for morning coffee or drink the coffee provided in your room.
Amel
The room was small but perfect. Great size bathroom and very clean. Location was great and very close to public transportation. Some great food spots not far and very handy to get into the city center
Stan
Great Hotel. Solo traveler so mini rooms was perfect. Great value. Very modern with higher end decor.
Inez
It was a convenient and comfortable place to stay. Close to red line.
kristine
We return to this hotel for its location and great staff. The adjacent coffee cafe Nero is the perfect compliment to a visit at this hotel

Sara
I was very pleased with the hotel, and would happily stay again.
I liked that they made very sure on their website that we’d know this was a small room before booking.
And it was very affordable for this time of year!
My room was quite well laid out, with quality materials and attention to leaving a low environmental impact.
The overall visual design theme to the hotel wasn’t my very favorite, but it’s lovely, well done, and surely many other peoples’ favorite.
Staff was great.
I don’t mean 4 stars as a negative score. For me, 5 stars is “jaw-dropping”,
4 stars means that everything was very very good.

This was my second stay at this hotel and both visits have been exceptional. The hotel is clean, the staff is nice and it is within walking distance of many local shops.
Hector
Excellent services
James
Centrally located and as good as new. Great shower. Super nice staff. Flexible about early check in and luggage storage. Great bar, bookstore, ramen, bagels, Dunkin and CVS a stone’s throw away. Really, what more do you need? Oh and Star Market and a liquor store.
Karmen
Great for a business trip
Curt
The best thing about this stay was the location across from the Red Line Porter station it was about 4000 feet to the escalator, with this you have to sacrifice noise levels that were definitely loud for a Hotel . The biggest issue I had was the Mini Split air conditioning it was evidently under the BTU capacity for the small room and it was not really under your control you could make changes to the temperature but only for 30 minutes then it would shut off or go back to the front desk control via WIFI a lot of hotel think so they are fooling us with this temporary control of the air conditioning and heat. You can open the window in the spring to get cooler than the inside air but then here comes the noise level sacrifice elevated too all night . So we slept with the windows open all 3 nights . They open only on the bottom by cranking the bottom end outward so no rain coins enter and the screen was well made no bugs could get in at all. It had all the regular stuff you need soap coffee and free waters . I would prefer full AC access. Shower curtain sticks to you when in shower. Irish bar with good food one block with authentic Irish bartender.bed was just ok and was a double room was small not much bigger than the bed. No fridge no microwave Tv had cable fancy shower head. If your in the showers the others in room can see you thru glass naked diffused a bit but clearly if not a couple may be issue .
STEPHANIE
Beautiful spot in great location, really clean, comfortable bed, great shower. Storage in drawers under the bed. Small room but I don't mind, and it's a small, old city so I would expect that. Staff very friendly and there was a beautiful lobby. Check in and creche out was easy. Subway station, target/CVS, restaurants, museums all very close by and easy to walk or get public transportation to
MARIA
The interior design of the property and room was smart and comfortable. The staff were friendly. Valet parking made things easy. Good location for Harvard
Megha
It was a nice option in the Cambridge area. Clean, easily accessible, and staff was nice. More affordable too.
Kineret
Great location. Very nice service. Great room and bathroom
María Victoria
Excellent stay all around! Perfect location too.
Michele
Very clean, friendly staff and valet parking was great.
Daniil
Excellent
Mackenzie
Great little place for a weekend trip! Room was small (so pack light!) but not much more space is needed for a short trip. Location was perfect - right outside the Porter stop on the Red Line.
Walls were on the thinner side so there was a small amount of noise from the rooms around us, but we still slept very soundly! Bed was comfortable and the blackout curtains were much appreciated.

Hotel was very clean and staff always present at the desk and friendly. Hotel is very convenient if using the Transit system. Directly across the street from Porter station.
Randy
Nice location! Enjoyed the reading nook/alcove area in the room. Bonus: coffee shop right next door.
Jackie
Great location, right across the street from the Porter Station (mass transit).
brian
clean, nicely appointed rooms. great location, helpful staff.
Victoria
Very clean, quiet, and pleasant hotel. The front desk staff were AMAZING. I was in a rush to get to a meeting and they got me checked in and even helped me print out a handout in 5 minutes.
Stephen
this place is warm, welcoming, clean, near shopping and restaurants. we'll be back.
Joseph
Wonderful hotel and location; friendly and helpful staff!
Jennifer
Finally found our Boston hotel, after several tries. 1868 is chic, comfortable, and in a perfect location near the subway, coffeeshops, restaurants, pharmacy, bookstore, etc. Surprisingly great workout room!
Dan
Very clean and organized room. Very convenient location. 5 star rating!
Stephanie
Quiet even facing Mass Ave, cute room, great location.
carol
Yes the mini-Queen room is small but it’s SO efficient! There’s even a Keurig. The bed was very comfy - it’s one of those with deep mattresses so at 5’ tall I needed a stool to climb into bed. But they have stools. The staff was fun, friendly, remembered us every time we passed through the lobby. Caffe Nero next door is a great coffee shop. YUME noodles across the street is great.
Riley
Small boutique hotel directly off the avenue. Lobby is small , but aesthetically furnished.
Front desk staff were very personable except one female, which is why they probably gave her night shift. 😁 She wasn’t terrible, but her disposition didn’t appear very approachable
Rioms wwre super small with queen beds
Bed was comfortable. Room would have benefited having a fridge or microwave. Hotel did have a microwave in basement as well as I’ve machine, but u had to travel in basement to use. They provide u 2 bottles of free water daily, which also was a plus. Hotel located by 24hr store which was great for snacks . They charge $28 a day for valet parking, but street parking nxt to hotel was easily use and accessible.

Ingowari
It was alright but not for the price and the room being so on the street you could literally not open the blinds without making eye contact with people at the bus stop.
Eleanor

Michael
Comfortable room and good value with lots of affordable restaurants nearby and transport to major event venues.

Prabha
property was good
Alyssa
The room was on the smaller size but had plenty of space for bags, a desk to work, a good sized bathroom, and didn't feel cramped. The exercise area was fantastic and had a variety of cardio, weight machines, and free weights that seemed in new condition. Staff was also very friendly and helpful!
Hiromi
Thanks for a great stay
Kathleen
Needed decaf tea choice in room
Erick
Hotel was clean and bed was comfortable but the walls are thin and you can hear everything, in unfortunate detail, that your upstairs and adjacent neighbors are saying and doing.
John
Gym was very good for a small hotel. A good minimalist gym rather than the lousy unusable things you have at a lot of hotels
Liz
Great low budget place to stay!
Debra
All was great thanks
Lilith
Everything was genuinely incredible, the staff was great, the rooms were gorgeous and clean, the location was incredible. My only note is the room could not get completely dark.
wirdalis
amazing and clean
John
The room was good along with the staff, but the soundproofing needs improvement.
I could hear someone coughing in another room along with noise in the hall.

Laurie
I have been making this trip to attend the same annual conference at Harvard Business School for a long time. While having my “go-to” hotels that I usually book for, I am open-minded about new places and/or different types of accommodations, this one being one of them.
The descriptions on the website are generally accurate, but my personal experience was not as sharp as it appeared. Staff members were a stand-out who were all efficient (at check-in), friendly, and helpful. Another highlight is the basement area, where a good-size gym and the spacious business center are located. However, from a constructive perspective, I was not happy with the following
(1)The air conditioner is installed at the top of the wall, which is not the most efficient way to heat up a room because cold air is heavier than hot air. The draft was directly blowing on me and not quiet.
(2)I understand the concept of efficient space usage, but for the same space of the narrow desk, I am not sure why it was a high bar and highchair. I don’t like the metal chair either.
(3)While appreciating the concept and quality of the Beekman 1802 toiletries, something did not work in the soap and body wash as it took too much time to be washed off.
(4)Not enough tea/coffee choices.
(5)The printer in the business center did not really work.

The hotel is beautiful, well maintained & modern! Our room was clean, modern and very spacious. I love the bathroom! The big shower is always a plus. The bed was very comfortable. We will stay again!
Sharon
Thoughtfully designed modern rooms, good location, very quiet despite being on a main avenue. Excellent fitness room, good housekeeping.
Marissa
Room was perfect, clean and staff were very friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay again.
Madeline
The front desk staff was kind and professional. However I wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel has exceptionally thin walls and it sounded like the person above me was doing jumping jacks all night long.
Peggy Murphy
nice clean room, very helpful staff at front desk and super thoughtful Valet parker who found my husband’s phone in the car. I would recommend and will definitely stay there again!

The staff was young and awesome and the valet service was quick and seamless. You pull right out front and your car stays in the gated lot right behind the hotel which I liked in case we needed to get something or wanted it out fast. The hotel was quiet as a peep and spotless.
It is close to the \"T\" which is super nice and very walkable eateries and stores. We loved our stay and I will for sure come back and see them again. Bed was comfy, shower was nice and they also offer nice coffee and water which is so nice to have. The gym was super cool too! Nice job to the young and sweet staff!

Room was very clean. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. My room was very quiet, with excellent view of Porter Square. The proximity of the hotel to the Porter Square Red Line Station was a huge plus since I decided to go car-less in this trip.
