Great location , staff was very helpful clean hotel Great amenities Good price rooms are kind of small but it was mentioned prior to booking which was very acceptable quiet rooms great beds will go back again.
I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this property was. The staff was incredibly helpful and gave great suggestions on places nearby. I would absolutely stay here again
The location is very conveniently located across from the red line. The hotel provides water, coffee, and tea in each room which is a nice touch. Everything was clean. I would definitely stay here again!
Super location, opposite Porter station which I hadn’t realised on booking, it was perfect for travelling to all Boston must see areas. Being from outside the US we found the Boston subway system very user friendly.
We would recommend certainly for the location. Also priced well compared to other Boston hotels.
Such a cute place. An awesome little retreat. We had bad travel coming in and the host was super friendly and accommodating. He made our night so much better.
Second visit and stay. Excellent location to transit. Walkable and safe. Minimally designed and furnished rooms but space efficiently used. Quiet neighborhood to stay while visiting Boston and greater Boston area and neighborhoods.
Hotel 1868 was in a perfect location for our weekend visiting Tufts. It is across the street from the T, and walking distance to Davis Square and the campus. There were coffee shops nearby for an easy breakfast. The room was small, but very efficiently planned. We had everything we needed, including drawers under the bed so we could unpack our suitcases. The bed was comfortable, there was coffee in the room, everything was clean - just a great experience overall!
