We were upgraded to a bigger room because it was our anniversary which was lovely. We were very disappointed to learn they had converted the appealing former pool room into bedrooms. We had come for that. The room itself had verry little feeling to it. It was comfortable but very corporate. And there is no breakfast for guests . The expensive overdone Henrietta's Table seemed only to open at noon. The decor needs some homey touches.

Nice property right in Harvard Square. Beautifully decorated. Only negatives were a tub that didn’t drain and some low water pressure in the shower. Otherwise a very nice stay and would stay again. Parking garage part of hotel which was very convenient.

We arrived into Boston via air very early on a Saturday morning. Were hoping to drop our bags at the hotel for the day until we were about to check in later, and instead they checked us in at 8:00 AM! When we checked out at 11:00 am on Sunday, they were more than happy to hold our bags for us until we picked them up at 6:00 pm and headed to the airport. WOW, top notch service. Our first stay at The Charles, won't be our last.

A friend referred me to the Charles and I’m glad that I booked my stay there. I arrived around 4am the day of my reservation. Even though I had to wait, the staff were nice and I was able to get my room by 9am. Decor is cute in an academic style, and I loved how it was walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Harvard Square. Very convenient to drop my child off for the Harvard summer program. Room service was quick and everyone who helped me was friendly and helpful. I hope to stay there again.
