Great location if you don’t mind costs

Modern, spacious, refurbished and right next to Charles river and walking distance to various Harvard schools

Incredibly expensive for what you get; I overlooked the top of a parking garage. Definitely not much a view

All day dining is only Til 10pm Hmm quite misleading if it says “all day”” right?

Convenient location

Breakfast was wonderful! The waitress were all very kind!

The welcoming to the hotel. I didn’t feel they were happy to see us 😕

Good location, but not worth the price

Lobby and location.

You expect more, overall, for such an expensive hotel. The room doesn't have a coffee maker, which is essential nowadays. The bathroom is rather small and the a/c didn't work properly and it is summer.

Good

Valet but expensive. Location is the best. Room was great as was the bathroom.

Front desk and room service was unresponsive. No one answers the phone, didn’t bring silverware when I called and asked.

Superb

I enjoyed the location so much! the rooms are great!

the breakfast and the restaurants are very expensive! way too high, had to walk around to find cheaper places! I would also rate the receptionists 7 out of 10. I felt like I am annoying them each time I come to ask a questions!😅 also by mistake they charged my room service for water, which I did not use. yes, they returned my money, but had bad feelings about it.

Wow, 400 usd for this

No complimentary water have to ask for it to be taken up. The towel was way to small. Can see the TV from the bed even after trying to turn it around. When complained to the fron desk manager, all we got were excuses. Not even given the mini bar key at check in. Reminds me of a motel and not a 400 usd room/night hotel.

We had a great time and we’ll be back

We ordered breakfast and dinner from Henrietta’s Table (and brought it up to our room as there is currently no room service) and it was outstanding.

My only disappointment was that there was no place to refill a water bottle. Plastic bottles of water were complimentary but a dedicated water cooler to refill one’s own water bottle would have been ideal

Disappointing

good breakfast good shower nice and helpful staff good elevator speed

very noisy room. Sound of blowers ran all the time. The in-room heat system was loud, but even with it turned off it sounded like being on a ship with rumbling engines underneath from the central system. Minifrig had no key so couldnt use. No water bottle in room.

It's too expensive for what they are offering.

I've been coming to the Charles for over twenty years. It's almost like home away from home. It's tasteful, well located, has nice views, and rooms are comfortable. Henrietta's Table is outstanding, cozy homey food. Enzzo also a welcome addition. The recent renovation has improved the feel of the hotel.

Covid has really affected this hotel. The gym is terrible, it used to be terrific with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, etc. There used to be room service, and a mini bar. Now there aren't even water bottles in the room. Now there are two restaurants are either closed or packed, so on two separate trips to the Charles we were not able to eat at Henrietta's Table.......and ended up in the awful bar, Noir on the first floor.

Good hotel but nothing special . It’s reputation is driven by its excellent location .

location is great ( 5 min walk to Harvard Square ) clean / tidy . quick response to special requests. room had good size

very old fashioned, room a bit tired with bad / old lighting design ( quite dark even if fully illuminated) no coffee machine in room ( but it was sent to room upon request ) , no underfloor heating in bathroom , very corporate feel , no personal touch , more of a hotel for large conferences.

Exceptional

I love the Charles Hotel, which is why we come back year after year. It's the best location for Head of the Charles Regatta weekend, and walking distance to our daughter's dorm at Harvard. They welcome our Great Dane with open arms! And they got new pillows, which is the only gripe I've had in the past. Perfection!
