Beautiful hotel, great location, comfortable beds, friendly staff and tasty breakfast. Only complaint is that I paid before arrival and, despite being told on arrival, and departure, that there were no outstanding charges, I have been charged full amount again since checking out. Having difficulty getting in touch, have now referred it to card company

Royal Sonesta is a nice hotel with adequate size rooms, comfortable beds, excellent shower power and a convenient Starbucks in the lobby. The location is really nice for walking along the Charles River but you often need a short Uber ride to go over Longfellow Bridge to visit major attractions within a mile or two of the hotel. We had a lovely river view but please be advised that you cannot see the July 4th fireworks from your window, although the internet will tell you otherwise. We were told that the location of the fireworks have moved in recent years so you need to walk less than a mile along the river to get a good view, which was spectacular. For those with mobility issues, please know that there are no grab bars for exiting the bath tub. For the best breakfast go to nearby Cafe Luna's!

We were traveling to Mass General for medical care and felt at home at the Royal Sonesta Cambridge right away! Calvin greeted us as if we were a member of his family and gave us quite the Royal welcome, we were impressed to say the least! He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at ease even amidst the upcoming medical treatment (he didn't even realize the purpose of our trip at first and we felt as if we were being taken care of by a good friend, which now we will definitely consider him as!). Calvin Cherry is a wonderful asset to this location and has maintained a warm and professional relationship with us during a difficult time health wise. Truly an exceptional location with great food, excellent views and a top notch team! Everyone has been friendly and accommodating! We love it so much we are looking to book again towards the end of the month and I have already spoken with our family members about joining us here on a future trip!

Calvin, Front Desk Manager, was absolutely phenomenal. His hospitality was truly outstanding and made this stay exceptional. I’m here on a work trip this time, but because of Calvin’s incredible service, I will absolutely return for a leisure stay in the future. He made a lasting impression, and it’s employees like him that make guests want to come back! Thank you, Calvin!
