Top Kendall Square Hotel Reviews

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

8/10 Good

"I love this hotel as it has everything you need right onsite. The only thing I was less than impressed with was the room. My husband and I stayed in the Artist Tower and our King room literally had the sink, toilet and shower in the same area as the bed. There was no privacy when using the bathroom as there was only a glass door you shut with the shower right beside it. I will be sure to book my room differently next time as I wasn't aware this was a studio type of room. Besides that, the hotel was clean, accommodating and convenient to the convention center! We will definitely stay here again next year!"

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."

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall great staff and cleanliness and location. However, room was very small. Was traveling with my daughter and we don’t mind cozying up but it was very tight. Also, there was no water and no glasses in the room. I had to go down in the elevator to the bar in order to get a glass bottle of water and drinking glasses to bring up to the room. Small detail but when you are paying $800 for a room, I think fresh cold water should be offered upon entry of the room."

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 Revolution Hotel

8/10 Good

"Second time staying here - was in a double room last time with a friend and that was great - the single room very tight - the sink too small to really use without getting water all over. no chair or luggage rack. Clean and sparse. Liked that they had a small gym downstairs. Nice area & close to Boston Common."

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We didn’t have a car and really appreciate how central and accessible this location was to all the touristy things in the areas but also restaurants and shopping. The staff was so kind, especially Ben. They were kind enough to store our luggage before and after our stay. The bathroom was super tiny and the shower pressure was very meh, but other than that it was a perfect stay!"

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!"

Hotel AKA Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great little hotel."
