ذا تشارلز هوتل

Exceptional location. Walkable to everything, which is economical given the very high cost to park anywhere in Greater Boston. Also, with local colleges on break, the price was one-third (1/3!) of what I've seen this hotel's rates posted for peak times. Everything was spotless and it every bath amenity, 2 robes, 2 pairs of slippers, a mirror in the rain shower and a TV behind the bathroom mirror. The restaurants all had good food, the health club/pool was enormous and, best of all, it was unusually quiet. It really felt like a European 5-star.

Great hotel in a great location; it was well within walking distance from the Harvard T station. The room was decent in size and I had a great view of the Charles River.

Service overall was pro forma. Given the holiday season staff projected little warmth - and no “hope you enjoyed your stay” at check out. Surprised no coffee or tea maker in room. Makes little sense to order a coffee through room service so had to venture out to Peet’s. Henrietta Restaurant food was less appealing than on previous visits.

Wonderful hotel in beautiful area. Very clean and comfortable.

The Charles Hotel was a wonderful place for my partner and I to spend her birthday “staycaycation!” They gave us a room upgrade because it was her birthday, the room had a lovely view of Harvard Square. It was super clean and the staff was nice. Our only complaint is that on our last morning the hotub next to the pool was COLD. We could barely handle sitting in it and all we wanted to do was relax in a (hot!) hot tub for a bit before we left. Oh well, we’d still recommend the hotel but beware that the pool and hot tub are open to members that join the gym so there are often non hotel guests/kids in the pool. We didn’t mind but I imagine some hotel guests would be annoyed by it.
