Great spot for an overnight in Boston. We trained down for a show and appreciated the convenient location (across the street from the T stop), and the clean, comfortable, and quiet room.

We cannot praise this hotel enough! We were in Cambridge to see a play (everyone, please go see Diary of a Tap Dancer at ART), and I reserved a mini-queen room. (The room was immaculate and plenty big enough for us.) When we got off the T at Porter Square . . . the hotel was right across the street! The people at the front desk were warm and welcoming (both when we arrived and when we left). The gym area is fantastic with lots of work-out options. The hotel’s location is great, and we enjoyed walking down Mass Ave to the theatre. In short, Hotel 1868 has become our go-to hotel in Cambridge! We want to say thanks to every single staff member.

Hotel 1868 was such a smooth stay and a breath of fresh air for my stays in the US. Staff were all friendly and it was very easy to deal with all my queries around package delivery, luggage storage and check out. Room was spacious, clean with a great bathroom, and came with complementary bottled water which is always a bonus. Conveniently located next to the red line to get around. Just a really really nice experience staying here!
