What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,343 guest reviews
Porter Square Hotel earns consistently strong sentiment for its unbeatable Cambridge location steps from the Red Line, genuine cleanliness, and warm staff — making it a reliable, good-value base for exploring Boston. However, guests repeatedly flag that rooms and bathrooms are on the small side with minimal storage, and noise bleed from hallways and neighbours is a recurring frustration. It is best appreciated by light-packing, short-stay travellers who prioritise location over space.
