What Guests Say
Great hotel, comfortable, with gym, several restaurants and sofa areas, next to Harvard Kennedy School. I was surprised however to note that their wifi network is unsecured (without password). Most company policies today don’t allow to be connected to unsecured networks (data risks), so I ended up using hotspot (not always stable). This is annoying for businesses travelers.

Location was great for Harvard and not too far from Boston central. Staff were very helpful and the restaurant was a lovely place for breakfast and dinner on the night we arrived. We also enjoyed the outside space for a drink in the evening just outside the bar and the servers in both the restaurant and the bar were delightful. The beds were so comfy with gorgeous linen and it was lovely to have a bath as well as a shower. Everything was spotlessly clean.

The Charles had a lovely mix of old world charm meets modern conveniences. Our room was spacious and well appointed. I appreciated the “Harvard chairs,” Nespresso machine, robes, and slippers provided. The location can’t be beat - I recommend it if you’re visiting Cambridge.

The room is wide and spacey. It has two stands for luggages. It does not have electric kettle nor coffee machine, but upon request the hotel provided us with electric kettle.
