Really nice view of the Charles river , comfy , great location, make sure to bring your earplugs because the walls are paper thin!

Certainly Strange

View is excellent. The standard room is tiny to the point of being cramped; smallest room ever in Boston, even bathroom . Dante restaurant is solid and The barrel aged cocktails are good and unique!

Sleep, eat, and have fun in style in this Four Diamond hotel . Luxury accommodations, incredible city views and delectable cuisine are some of the perks.

Daniel Hoz

Aesthetically pleasing hotel . However, the price is a bit steep & you don't get things that should be included in the price (such as the buffet breakfast , which was $20 p/p). Next time, hostelling .

The Next Great Generation (Boston)

Need a drink? Art Bar is a highly recommended drink spot during the nicer months: This bar offers patio seating along the Charles River and an unparalleled view of the Boston skyline. Read more

The gym equipment is a little dated but there's a good amount of it & it's varied! Who says you need state of the art to get a great workout in!

Cam Byrd

Beautiful, modern, comfortable hotel . Grand location on the Charles too.

Irene Ulbrich

Great location, mall across with plenty of eateries and a short walk away to train station to go Boston

JASON

Welcome to Cambridge Mass! Nice hotel , could do without the aroma blast through hotel .

Andrea Ando

Always interesting conversations with strangers and soon-to-be friends if your willing to say hello

Fred Sarhadi

One of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in. I'm standing next to a window display that I designed..

Noelle

Perfect location for science museum . Cozy rooms overlooking the river

David Sullivan

Awesome location, near the science museum and the garden . Great rooms!

Geoff Ryken

Gym , pool, etc. are currently closed as they are renovating, but they'll offer you access to one at a Hyatt 2 miles away. This is not convenient in the middle of winter.

Cian Mac Mahon

Very nice hotel with a great view if you are facing the Charles.

Tory Shaheen

If you must drive rent a compact. Parking spots in garage absurdly small and locals can't park worth a damn in this little town .

Jayakumar R

The rooms are pretty good... WiFi is also decent. Little crowded during the weekends. So go early for your breakfast . Else your wait time can be as high as an hour.

Amber Rollins

This is a really nice hotel in a really nice location but anything happening in the hall sounds like it's happening right in your room.

Ayman Ayash

Excellent service and friendly environment ... Highly recommend

Craig Desmarais

Make sure you hit up the 24 hour gym while you are here. Also take advantage of the hot tub , pool and sauna to exercise and then relax.

Amanda Hurley

Be sure to take advantage of the cookies at check in. They are always changing and baked fresh daily!

Rafael Rapp

Great hotel . Very fast wifi

Amanda Hurley

ArtBar has live music on Thursday and Friday evenings. Great place to unwind with a glass of wine !

Eric O

Unfortunately, the Earth is nowhere to be found. Its scale model (from the Museum of Science Community Solar System) was removed in 2009 during the Hotel 's exterior renovations.

Stephen Purcell

Not as nice as the Marlowe across the street. Furniture was updated but room still felt a little dated. I'll be back to the Marlowe next time.

Julia De Mello

Gorgeous skyline. Great accommodations.

Antoinette

Great hotel room and overlooking the Charles River . Very happy to have booked here.

Stuart Heitner

Rooms and view are gorgeous

Amanda Hurley

ArtBar features a daily lunch special Monday thru Friday. Soup and Sandwich for $12.

Rex

Great views of the Charles River .

Hotel Tonight

Get yourself to ArtBar for a winning combo of world-class art and riverside dining.

Lorraine Onchiri

I love the the view

Michael Soguero

You have to request coffee maker in your room if you want want. Disappointed to have learned this after I checked out. Also, must checkout at desk- no bill under door like other hotels .

Richard Pfeiffer

Dante is a tastey treat and art bar wont give you a hard time if you are just stopping by for a drink or two.

Biff Cantor

Nice staff and awesome room with a view .

Joe Waters

They have swim lessons here for the kids. Nice pool! Kids not taking lessons can usually swim for free.

MoRiza

Cranky fire alarm. Get out of your room and take the stairs to the Lobby.

Scott Miller

Jacquelyn Cooper at the front desk is the best!

Brian Del Vecchio

After the WebInno events , wet your whistle downstairs at Danté with some friends. The calamari dish is recommended.

Cuisine en Locale

My kids can swim and I can relax.... at the same time!

Rebecca Sinclair

Biz center at Sonesta is cute AND useful! Meeting space with great chairs, remote wireless printnig, etc.

Tracy Elizabeth

Nice hotel , but food is crappy.

Ricky Chandarana

Customer service at reception is poor. Kept us waiting for 15 mins since they couldnt figure out our room. Stayed at Marlowe yest night and comparatively that was far superior

Lorie Juliano

Follow ArtBarCambridge on Twitter for daily specials and offers.

Note that some bedrooms have now bath, just a standing shower

James Ely

You've got to stop by Dante 's for a drink!

Sara Y

Not bad, but not great? The Marlowe across the street is nicer.

Vasken Hauri

WiFi is useless for tech conferences . If you're planning one, look elsewhere!

Jables M

Enjoy the dyson airblade after washing your hands

Jenn Maxin
