We enjoyed our stay at The Kendall Hotel in Cambridge. We stayed there once before and enjoyed our stay enough to come back again. The rooms are very clean, the staff is super friendly, and the breakfast was very tasty, and it is free with stay. The breakfast had both hot and cold offerings. The Kendall is located in a great, safe area. We will be back again.

Great place, but the bathroom needed a few fixes and room needs AC.
And the parking situation is terrible

We had a fantastic stay and visit there. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. We made it just in time to catch the last moments of wine tasting by Ron and had a wonderful chat with him. The decor is fun and whimsical, The room was extremely quiet and comfortable for us.

Stayed here many times, love this place, well appointed clean rooms, great staff. However travelled with disabled partner and elevator kept breaking down. This really curtailed our options sadly. If you are fit and OK with stairs its a great place to stay. Also in terms of accesibility we did have an accesible room but it still has a tub not a walk in shower. OK for us (tub is low US style one and there is a seat) but worth bearing in mind if you have reduced mobility

The first time I stayed at the Kendall (a month ago) I couldn't wait to return. What a difference a month makes. The room was over $500 a night and honestly a bit shabby. But the kicker was the elevator was broken. I'm in semi-decent shape, but five flights of stairs - actually six because I paid for parking in the garage - for the entire weekend was beyond the pale. Really!?! When all was said and done, I had a bill for $1300. No apology, no compensation, no incentive to return. Oh well... I'm back and forth to Cambridge quite a bit. Knock this hotel off the list.

We enjoyed the specialized attention and the unique decor of this hotel. We arrived a little late and missed the cocktail hour but they delivered wine and snacks to our room, including non alcoholic items for my daughter. Our room was so cozy. We felt like we were staying in someone’s home. Shower was great. Breakfast was good, fresh and had lots of options. They make great cup of coffee too. I would definitely return.

Very accommodating and reasonably priced in a safe and quiet community. Close to metro and not a long commute via ride share programs.

Staff were amazing, property was unique it could use some updates. Breakfast was just average and needed more options and different ones. We stayed for three night and the same every morning.

The historical nature of the building and surrounding area was great. The staff was excellent. My room and the bathroom were a little on the small side but overall it was a great experience.

I am giving this 4 stars instead of five for one reason. I purchased a night's stay through expedia. Expedia publishes all the extra fees that are tagged on to the price of the room, like resort fees, taxes, etc. so I thought the price they gave me was the final price. But when I went to check out,the hotel charged me an extra $25. When I asked about it,they told me it was for the supposedly free breakfast and for the gym- which we didn't use. Annoying to the say the least. Otherwise a good experience.

Really nice boutique hotel with great location in Kendall Sq. Next to Kendall/MIT T station. Walk to Charles River, MIT and lots of restaurants/cafes and attractions.
