Great location: Cambridge was a lovely area to stay in and Porter square has an excellent book shop, coffee shops, restaurants. Really close to the subway so getting to central Boston is easy. The hotel was smart, clean and comfortable.

Comfortable hotel. Clean and with all the basics that you need. Rooms are super spacious. It is well located for when I travel for business and near Cambridge Street with a lot of restaurants and services. It’s well located to access the city center from there too.
I will definitively stay here again!

Friendly and flexible staff except in the Japanese Steakhouse where they were cold. The hotel staff promptly moved me from a room in the pot-smelling 14th floor to a smoke-free top floor when I complained about the smell. Good location.

Cambridge is a great place for sightseeing and history.
Cambridge is a great place for sightseeing and history. My son graduated from Harvard University and the city has rich spots for viewing in conjunction with the university. The Coop has all of the Harvard gear and gifts to take back to family, as well as the Harvard Store. We ate at Tatte, a nice breakfast and coffee restaurant. Uber is easy as well as short walks around the squares. Cambridge is a beautiful city and I can't wait to visit again.

Stayed in Cambridge to attend a graduation at Boston University. We were just close enough for it to be a very short drive, but did not have to immediately deal with school traffic. There were many stores and restaurants nearby, with good access to major roads to simplify travel.

Cambridge is beautiful, a fascinating place, but we were running around for several work events and didn't see much. VERY congested, so we relied on Lyfts to get around. But, so much to see, packed with beautiful historic architecture. Lots of trendy food places (often a little strange).

Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk around. The streets are clean, the parks are beautifully maintained and there is stunning historic architecture, as well as quaint shops and eateries everywhere. We particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful Memorial Hall. It's a pity visitors can't look inside, into the Annenberg Hall dining area, but we appreciate that the Harvard students may not like an audience whilst eating : ). The Harvard University of Natural History is fantastic and the Glass Flowers exhibit is a must-see! Being a rower, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful Weld Boathouse and Newell Boathouse and watching crews row up and down the Charles River. If you love books, The COOP bookstore is well worth a visit and if you enjoy ice-cream, I would highly recommend getting a Taiyaki (Japanese ice-cream) from Taiyaki NYC in Church Street. The ramen at Boston Ramen at 24 Holyoke Street was delicious and I would highly recommend grabbing a waffle and coffee from the food truck parked in the Harvard Science Center Plaza. If you're going into Boston, I would highly recommend the Boston Tea Party Ships and museum experience (an excellent interactive, re enactment experience), having a ride on the beautiful Greenway Carousel and walking through the Boston Common, seeing the 'Make way for ducks' statue and, for the 'Cheers' tv series fans, visiting the Cheers bar.

Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff.
Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff. Booked in advance, was quoted $186 tax included. But, at check-in I was notified that it cost $25 per day, per parking spot and a $75 fee that would be returned (5 to 7 days) after checkout. Plus they wanted $20 per person for breakfast. Total: $326 for 2 people for one night. Nice place, but won't spend that to stay there again.

It's in a good location for Cambridge, and even not far from Boston amenities. It is NOT right near Harvard campus, though, if that's what you're looking for ... but not far.
The facility is fine - an inn, not a hotel, but with room amenities of a hotel.
Staff was very polite and did their very best to serve (it's always owners' decisions, not staff's, that ruin these places). But they were also oblivious to the fact that, as a Cambridge resident myself (unable to live in my own house this summer), I was not thrilled to hear that their group had bought up so many Cambridge houses to make them B & Bs that they cannot fill them. Perhaps, then, they shouldn't have made their small contribution to Cambridge's housing crisis in the way they did.
As a single foreign tourist, this hotel ticked all the boxes for me. The location, decor, and efficiency were very pleasant in every manner
The reception staff were always friendly, relaxed, and laid-back. Every time I dealt with them, it was like chatting with a friend.
You have basically everything in Cambridge at your fingertips.
Bravo Porter Square !!!🙂
The hotel is not at all value for money. No room cleaning service. the bed has strong weird smell. The light in the room was not functioning well. Very far away from bus station. Noise from nearby construction site every morning. Would never stay in this hotel again and won’t recommend to anyone
I liked that there was a different selection of breakfast each day. The room was excellent and clean, with an air conditioner. There are many places around, like shops and restaurants, that you can choose from. For example, I was in the star market next to the hotel and the Chinese restaurant.
Location was great for visiting over the July 4 weekend. We watched the fireworks at the waterfront on the Cambridge side and then walked right back to the hotel and avoided crowds lining up for the subway. Fabulous staff.
I was in Boston for the marathon, this hotel was well situated for the red line to get down to the marathon area.
Also plenty of places nearby to eat out and get snacks etc.
Would happily stay here again.
Room was clean, not too big but fine.
Bed was good.
Friendly staff.
The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the "center" of Cambridge where you can take the metro and travel to Boston.
I have stayed in several hotels while doing research at Harvard. This location for its value is the best so far. I found the facility very well appointed. I will return there undoubtedly.
The hotel has an excellent location, near to the subway. Staff service was nice with us. Maybe I could recommend a better cleaning in the rooms, it was good but it could be better.
Good location near Harvard in easy walking distance. Nice and accommodating staff.
Pleasant common area with coffee and freshly baked biscuits available.
