Great stay, highly reccomend this hotel!

Location of this hotel was great, the red line was right across the street from the hotel and only 4 stops into central boston. Area was nice and quiet. Hotel was very clean and modern. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable also and the shower was amazing, good pressure and nice toiletries.

Hotel 1868 is a beautiful hotel, and we especially appreciated the excellent Thai restaurant recommendation from the front desk clerk. Our stay was good, but the rooms were a bit small, and we were disappointed that the suggested parking was closed, forcing us to use valet.

This is my third time staying at Hotel 1868 and it is my go to hotel in Boston. The location is convenient to Harvard, and right across from the T so you can get around the city easily. Rooms are clean, well maintained and very comfortable and the staff are helpful and friendly.
