Top Kendall Square Hotel Reviews

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Hotel AKA Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property well suited for my meetings."

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay. The room was dark and could have used brighter lighting around the bed. Turning on the shower was difficult because my hand got wet when I turned it on. On the same trip, I stayed at the Verb, and they had a circular cut-out in the glass wall so you could stick your hand through to turn on the shower. I could have used an outlet closer to the bed to recharge my phone and hearing aids. The first-floor room with the free coffee and vending machines was terrific."

The Royal Sonesta Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing views. Cool vibe"

Hotel Commonwealth

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and customer service! The hotel seems dated, but we were happy to be there because of our staff experience. They provided complimentary luggage storage which was extremely convenient during our trip."

Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very clean and well maintained. It is in walking distance to the MIT and many good restaurants."

citizenM Boston North Station

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel. I love the style of the rooms and the environment of the lounge area. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When we were checking out, one of the concierges working the check-in area asked us about our stay, if we had been before, etc. We hadn't purchased a breakfast plan, so she offered us to stay and eat the buffet style breakfast and have coffees on the hotel. The buffet was excellent and the cafe Americano the bartender made for us were perfect. Can't wait to stay at this neat hotel again."

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast at the Dagny is top notch! I had the SW burrito, and have had the Ham & Cheese sandie… both.. INCREDIBLE!"

Boston Marriott Cambridge

10/10 Excellent
