Great lil hotel with friendly, welcoming staff!
Staff were so welcoming and helpful! Room was comfortable (though the room was chilly at night - wish we had an extra comforter in the room!) and the coffee station had drinkable coffee. Loved the Cafe Nero next door too.

Everything we needed for a short stay. Small rooms, but adequate. Under-bed storage would be useful for longer stays, except that one of the four drawers wouldn't open due to the night stand blocking it.

Great spot for an overnight in Boston. We trained down for a show and appreciated the convenient location (across the street from the T stop), and the clean, comfortable, and quiet room.

We cannot praise this hotel enough! We were in Cambridge to see a play (everyone, please go see Diary of a Tap Dancer at ART), and I reserved a mini-queen room. (The room was immaculate and plenty big enough for us.) When we got off the T at Porter Square . . . the hotel was right across the street! The people at the front desk were warm and welcoming (both when we arrived and when we left). The gym area is fantastic with lots of work-out options. The hotel’s location is great, and we enjoyed walking down Mass Ave to the theatre. In short, Hotel 1868 has become our go-to hotel in Cambridge! We want to say thanks to every single staff member.
