“Pure Luxury!”

We selected The Charles Hotel for its close proximity to Harvard Square. The hotel was wonderful, the spa (Le Pli) was wonderful even with the unique co-ed locker rooms! We arrived early and reqested the best room available as it was our anniversary, we got it! A room with two walls of windows with wonderful views of Boston and Cambridge. The amenities were great, especially the TV inside the mirror in the bathroom! We would highly recommend this hotel!

“Very Pleasant stay”

Very confortable stay, excellent room, good service, good restaurants. We enjoyed the stay very much. The only thing that I found odd is the "library". One night I had to do some work so off I went looking for the "library". Well it is not a room but a bookshelf with two armchairs right in the lobby. Other than that PERFECT.

“Extremely comfortable, very convenient”

Very nice week-end stay. Concierge was very helpful, suggesting good restaurants both in Cambridge and Boston. Battery in bathroom mirror-television was dead and someone from engineering dept. came up immediately to fix it(and this was about 10:30-11:00 at night), so we were very satisfied and would recommend the hotel.
