Top Powder House Square Hotel Reviews

Freepoint Hotel Cambridge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, carpeted public areas need new carpets, they are stained. Breakfast is super basic. Overall the location was good for me, a two mile walk from destination."

Hyatt Place Boston/Medford

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, underground parking and breakfast. Close to downtown but you heae the cars down the street, not soundproof."

Irving House At Harvard

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near Harvard. Short walk to the T line and convenient to restaurants and shops. Loved the breakfast and the cookies set out by the front desk each day. Everyone who worked there was pleasant and helpful. Check in and check out was very easy. We would definitely stay there again."

Cambridge Common House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully designed rooms, impeccable service, and really great location. Loved Cambridge Common House - I think the best hotel option in Harvard Square at the moment, and a really great addition to the area."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Boston/Cambridge-Arlington, MA

8/10 Good

"Good location, Parking although right on the property, unfortunately is not included. Breakfast was good. Overall a nice experience."

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"all good"

Garden Studio, access to I-93 to Airport, Tufts U, Hiking & Chevalier Theater.

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Just what we needed for a quick visit."

Cozy 4BR Home by Tufts w/ Subway Access to Downtown, MIT, Harvard + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"Pros:Quiet neighborhood.The house had the basic essentials needed for a comfortable stay.A driveway was available for parking, so parking was never an issue.The host was very responsive and friendly.Beds and indoor temp were comfortable.Cons:The driveway was very narrow, and the large shrub at the entrance made parking difficult, especially when backing in. The branches also scratched the side of the car each time we parked.The listing did not clearly state that the unit was on the second floor. There were instructions to be mindful of the first-floor neighbors, including quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and gentle footfalls. This was difficult because the house is very old and the floors creak loudly throughout, even with careful walking.An older review mentioned that the dishwasher was not working, there were no oven mitts or dish towels, and there were small sharp nails near the floor of one bedroom doorway. When we stayed there, those issues had still not been addressed.The cookware was limited. There was one large pot with a lid, one smaller pot without a lid, and two nonstick pans with significant wear to the coating.The reason I did not give fewer stars was because the owner was extremely communicative and timely in his responses. When I asked if the tap water was potable, he recommended that we don't drink it and then he went out of his way to get us bottled water. That makes a huge difference when you are staying at a vacation rental."
