Reviews for Charles Hotel
Excellent location and wonderful staff.
I have stayed at the Charles Hotel several times and will continue do so whenever I can due to the excellent location and wonderful staff. The staff at the Charles Hotel are always friendly and prioritize customer service. On this trip, my elderly parents were having some health issues and, unfortunately, we had to check out early. Halima at the front desk went above and beyond to help us and ensure we were taken care of and were able to check out a day early without issues.

Perfect location with great rooms and amenities
Unmatched location for checking out the Harvard area (my daughter was attending their lacrosse camp). Rooms were spacious, updated, and clean with fun decor. Great bathroom - large shower, high quality cleansers/lotions, a DryBar hair dryer. There is also an Avis location on site which I wish I had realized beforehand (my oversight as it's on their website). We booked using Amex points and they have a partnership with Amex that gave us many other benefits ($ credits to their restaurants and extra snacks at check-in, etc) so suggest booking thru the Amex site to tap into those. We'll be back!

The best hotel for our family during our stay in Boston. I love the Charles's stylish and humble, yet luxurious atmosphere!

Very clean hotel with lots of conveniences close to Harvard
The Charles hotel is a very good hotel in a great part of Cambridge. I can’t think of any issues with my stay there, but I also can’t think of any Wow! moments either. It’s just a really well maintained and clean hotel with good service in a great location. There are plenty of food options both in the hotel as well as in the neighborhood. There is excellent T access if you need to take public transport as well. My only small complaints are that the hotel’s layout and room numbering can be confusing. Also, the soap dispenser in the shower was empty and the cleaning service forgot to fill it every day I was there. As you can see, super minor complaints. You can expect a very nice stay at this hotel

worst night sleep
The pillow were very thin ( had to pile up 3 just to equal one pillow) the bed was not comfortable and the room was hot and humid. hotel was not worth the money and I will never stay here again. I had 3 of the worst nights of sleep.
