Reviews of The Charles Hotel

Fun for adults and for kids

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. br/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. br/Note however, a lot of the streets are cobblestone so be sure to pick streets that are paved for strollers. br/ Read More
