Room was clean. Spacious for all my things. Bathroom was a good size. Windows open so I got fresh air. Bed was comfortable. No complaints. Would stay again.

Walking distance from Harvard Square and across the street from Porter subway station. The hotel is very cool: ultra modern with retro fittings.

Great Stay!
We stayed at Hotel 1868 for one night. The hotel was immaculate with nice design details throughout. Our bed was very comfortable and we loved the rain shower head in the bathroom. The location was in walking distance to many restaurants and cafes, wish we had more time to explore the area.

We were there for one night to attend a wedding in the area -- friendly, clean and valet parking was available. Reasonable pricing for the area.

This is a great hotel and a great location, close to Harvard and train to downtown. We took the mini room and as expected it’s very small but has everything we needed, it was very clean and very comfortable. The staff were polite, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this hotel and we’ll be staying again if we go back to Boston.
