Top West Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Recommend"

Arcadian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is nice, well maintained and probably recent remodeled. Very well located if you want something around the Boston area with easy access, although it is in Brookline, it is very accessible with the "T" green line (C) right across the street, which can take you directly to Boston main attractions, Newsbury St., Back Bay and Downtown. There are nice restaurants and cafes two blocks from the hotel, and Brookline little downtown at 3 or 4 blocks, where you can find everything. I was there to help my daughter to move-in, since she is studying in Berklee School of Music, and it was a very convenient place to stay. It does has parking in case you need it by an additional fee."

Hotel Commonwealth

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. When you are sleeping the room is dark. No unnecessary little lights or clocks. Bed super comfortable. They do need to work on sound proofing between rooms. Clearly hear people conversing in the next room. Two great restaurants on either side of the hotel. Easy walking distance to several points of interest."
