We cannot praise this hotel enough! We were in Cambridge to see a play (everyone, please go see Diary of a Tap Dancer at ART), and I reserved a mini-queen room. (The room was immaculate and plenty big enough for us.) When we got off the T at Porter Square . . . the hotel was right across the street! The people at the front desk were warm and welcoming (both when we arrived and when we left). The gym area is fantastic with lots of work-out options. The hotel’s location is great, and we enjoyed walking down Mass Ave to the theatre. In short, Hotel 1868 has become our go-to hotel in Cambridge! We want to say thanks to every single staff member.

Hotel 1868 was such a smooth stay and a breath of fresh air for my stays in the US. Staff were all friendly and it was very easy to deal with all my queries around package delivery, luggage storage and check out. Room was spacious, clean with a great bathroom, and came with complementary bottled water which is always a bonus. Conveniently located next to the red line to get around. Just a really really nice experience staying here!

A very modern, clean, attractive new-build. The room was a bit on the small side but very attractive and had 10-foot ceilings. Bed was very good, TV was large enough to see easily (many hotels have TVs that are too small). The bathroom was large and very attractive, but the door to the bathroom was a "barn door", not a traditional door so the seal was not good and bathroom sounds could be heard in the main room. No microwave in the room. The "parking" that the hotel offers is only valet parking at over $30 and street parking is almost impossible.

Really lovely hotel. Everything looks fresh and welcoming. Staff are lovely. The scent and the music are shared with guests throughout the hotel (room floors and lobby) which just made it so relaxing.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel. The rooms are small, but super smart with storage. We had two rooms reserved. My husband and I were at the end of the hall, which was a room on the side of the hotel facing a side street and the main street. My sister had a room that was on the backside of the hotel facing parking. We had a lot of street noise from our room. We could hear cars and the crosswalk alert. With that said, there wasn’t a lot of movement late at night, so the noise was minimal, but expect to hear a lot in the morning. My sister didn’t hear any major noises from her room during any part of the day. The beds were comfy. I loved the location. You could walk to Harvard or hop on the Redline subway, which was across the street, to take you inside downtown Boston. It’s about a twenty minute drive from the airport.
