This hotel has everything, and has all the small touches to make it feel homey. First, there's an arrival snack for when you're hangry from your flight, and a breakfast buffet with lots of bacon :) Convenient to Kendall Sq and the T, yet quiet with heavy black out curtains for a good night's sleep. I don't always sleep well in hotels, but the cozy ambiance and bed are very comfortable. There are small touches in the room like fluffy robes, a hot water kettle for tea lovers and fancy hair dryer. A welcome change from your chain hotels, and friendly staff!

What a great boutique hotel! My husband and I stayed one night… but if ever back here again this will be our choice! Quaint rooms, comfortables bed and had great amenities. The staff are most courteous and includes a well rounded breakfast. We highly recommend the Kendall Hotel.

Room tip: Parking is free! Short walk over the bridge to historic sites.

Fiquei hospedado uma semana no Kendall Hotel esse mês (Ago/2022) e tive uma experiência excelente. Um hotel boutique, muito bem localizado (ao lado do MIT 500m) e também de ótimos bares e restaurantes, e também um escritório lounge. Mas o destaque principal foi a alta qualidade da cama e lençóis do hotel. Inclusive solicitei a compra de um jogo de lençóis do hotel … excelente custo benefício!!! Certamente é um hotel 5 estrelas. Enjoy the ride …

I spent one week at Kendall hotel this month (Aug/22) and had an excellent experience. A boutique hotel, very well located (500 meters from MIT) and also from great bars and restaurants. In addition there are nice office lounge available. But, the highlight was the quality of beds and sheets of the hotel. Which I had to buy a pair of sheets from the hotel. Excellent cost benefit !!! Certainly it is a 5 star hotel. Enjoy the ride …

If you’re looking a classy, hotel with deep warm decor, then look no further for a Cambridge stay. Our king size room was on the 6th floor, with deep blue walls that seem freshly painted, crushed velvet drapes & couch. The bed was super comfortable, with a bright, white & blue checked comforter at the foot of the bed. The bathroom is precision, with an oversized vanity—perfect for putting all my toiletries. A Dyson hairdryer is a nice touch, upscale, which tells me the proprietor took the time to offer extra amenities. Towels are crisp white and EVERYTHING is immaculately cleaned. If you’re looking for a hotel room to relax in, this is it. Two fluffy robes hang neatly in the closet. I’ve been to many 5-star hotels and never took the time to take a long bath, and lay around in a robe for a couple hours. This place feels like someone’s guest home they offered up when they were out of town.

Room tip: Ask for an upper level, king room with pull out couch.
