Cute hotel, comfortable rooms, convenient location. Only issues were 1) we tried calling 4 times to let them know flight was significantly delayed, and no one ever answered the phone, and 2) there is a frosted glass window between the bathroom and the bedroom, which means if anyone turns on the bathroom light, the bedroom is illuminated (which woke both of us up at different points during the stay).

Room was clean. Spacious for all my things. Bathroom was a good size. Windows open so I got fresh air. Bed was comfortable. No complaints. Would stay again.

Walking distance from Harvard Square and across the street from Porter subway station.
The hotel is very cool: ultra modern with retro fittings.

This hotel was super cute, clean, and everyone was very friendly! I called ahead of time and they were able to get us in for an early check in. The bed was extremely comfortable! The room was small, but really didn’t need anything big. My friend and I were going to a concert at TD and just needed a place for the night. Also super convenient if you’re going to TD, the hotel was a 2 min walk from the commuter rail that takes you right into North Station.

Excellent spot for easy access to transit and urban but not too urban. Only housekeeping when requested. Fitness center way above average, especially for a small property. My room was super small but only needed for one person so manageable. Wish the “desk” was slightly bigger..just a shelf with stool.

We stayed at Hotel 1868 for one night. The hotel was immaculate with nice design details throughout. Our bed was very comfortable and we loved the rain shower head in the bathroom. The location was in walking distance to many restaurants and cafes, wish we had more time to explore the area.

Only issue was A/C blew right onto bed. Turning vents away would probably solve issue

This is a great hotel and a great location, close to Harvard and train to downtown. We took the mini room and as expected it’s very small but has everything we needed, it was very clean and very comfortable. The staff were polite, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this hotel and we’ll be staying again if we go back to Boston.

We reserved a mini room and it lived up to its name! It was quite small but just fine for an overnight stay. It was very clean and a nice building. The bathroom was very small with little space to place toiletries, that was the main challenge but we made it work.The lobby was decorated nicely. There are many shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. The parking is challenging in the area and it is valet parking only for the hotel itself. The parking price was reasonable for one night and we got our car quickly when requested. Overall I would recommend this hotel, just be aware that the mini room is tight.

Very convenient location right by the T and easy to walk to dining and shopping options. Interior design was nice, bed was comfortable, bathroom and shower worked well. The only downside was that the room was very small with minimal storage space (no closet in the bedroom, no cabinet in the bathroom, skinny desk with 1 small chair), so it was really cramped to have 2 people. This would be perfect for a short solo visit, but not ideal for longer stays with 2 people.

This hotel was built only a few years ago and you can tell! It was incredibly quiet! The ceilings are high and the shower was so good. Also very convenient for walking to Harvard or taking the T in. There are cvs and Safeway across the street if you need anything.

Aesthetically pleasing room. Very little parking. Valet was not available when I arrived. Room is tight. Water was slimy during showering. Thin walls. Very few television options. No refrigerator. Average.
