Top Old Powder House Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Boston/Cambridge-Arlington, MA

10/10 Excellent

"I always stay at this hotel, when I visit family in Arlington, MA. It’s very convenient, and if you need anything, CVS in across the parking lot. Room is very big and spacious. Had a living room area, kitchen area, and huge bathroom. The free breakfast was pretty good, I wish they had more food options though. Arrived super late. Close to 11pm. And the desk lady was super helpful during the check in process. We had an issue in our room, that was quickly addressed. The only downside, which isn’t there fault, the parking lot is very very small. And the spaces are very tight. They also charge $20 a day for parking. I get it, everything is going up."

Hyatt Place Boston/Medford

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. Courteous staff, clean hotel, and great amenities. Will stay here again when I am back on BOS."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boston Somerville

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable & clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were satisfied with our stay."

AC Hotel by Marriott Boston North

8/10 Good

"Expensive but moderately nice hotel. Pool is small and the water was cold. Room needed one more overhead light. Front desk was nice and they were sweet. Breakfast was solid. But again, a bit overpriced."

The Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Spent the Nor'easter weekend at the Charles, went to Red Sox and Rhinocerous play at the ART, hotel is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the restaurants in Harvard Square with easy access to the red line at Harvard."

Hotel 1868

10/10 Excellent

"Super location, opposite Porter station which I hadn’t realised on booking, it was perfect for travelling to all Boston must see areas. Being from outside the US we found the Boston subway system very user friendly. We would recommend certainly for the location. Also priced well compared to other Boston hotels."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Boston Medford

10/10 Excellent

"The property was well maintained and clean. Only 2 blocks from the orange line and nearby restaurants."

Cozy 4BR Home by Tufts w/ Subway Access to Downtown, MIT, Harvard + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"Pros:Quiet neighborhood.The house had the basic essentials needed for a comfortable stay.A driveway was available for parking, so parking was never an issue.The host was very responsive and friendly.Beds and indoor temp were comfortable.Cons:The driveway was very narrow, and the large shrub at the entrance made parking difficult, especially when backing in. The branches also scratched the side of the car each time we parked.The listing did not clearly state that the unit was on the second floor. There were instructions to be mindful of the first-floor neighbors, including quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and gentle footfalls. This was difficult because the house is very old and the floors creak loudly throughout, even with careful walking.An older review mentioned that the dishwasher was not working, there were no oven mitts or dish towels, and there were small sharp nails near the floor of one bedroom doorway. When we stayed there, those issues had still not been addressed.The cookware was limited. There was one large pot with a lid, one smaller pot without a lid, and two nonstick pans with significant wear to the coating.The reason I did not give fewer stars was because the owner was extremely communicative and timely in his responses. When I asked if the tap water was potable, he recommended that we don't drink it and then he went out of his way to get us bottled water. That makes a huge difference when you are staying at a vacation rental."
