What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,314 guest reviews
Hotel 1868 earns consistently strong praise for its unbeatable Porter Square location — steps from the Red Line T-stop — combined with genuinely warm staff and stylish, well-maintained rooms that feel upscale for the price. The main recurring gripes are practical: rooms are compact with minimal storage, there are no in-room fridges, AC units can be noisy, and walls are thin enough to carry neighbouring-room noise. Overall guest sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many reviewers being repeat visitors.
