Reviews of The Charles Hotel
Fun for adults and for kids
By nathnyc December 03, 2007
What we loved:
Location, and cleanliness.
What we didn't love:
Crowds during University events (reunions, move-in in day)
This hotel is perfectly situated in Harvard Square. It is close to the Charles River, the shops, the University and public transportation.
You can go for a nice stroll with the kids along the river, take a tour of Harvard or enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate at one of the cafes.
Note however, a lot of the streets are cobblestone so be sure to pick streets that are paved for strollers.
