The Kendall Hotel

Perfect location for MIT. Great decor and comfortable bed and pillows. Rooms pretty quiet & enjoyed the atrium area. Could take some time to get in touch with reception.

From check in to check out nothing but good things to say. Great best care practices and a pair of Dalmatian slippers. We are an older couple and felt very safe and secure. Would recommend to everyone.

What an amazing hotel The Kendall is!! I came to visit friends and family and choose to stay here because of the location as well as the unique character of the hotel. It is a former firehouse and the decore is a lovely mix of US history, museum quality whimsy and firehouse charm. There is a lovely sitting area with a fireplace as well as a specatcular and private 7th floor lounge/business area that is a perfect place to gather with a few friends. Every thing was kept super clean. But what really made The Kendall special is the staff, especially Brenda who went out of her way to give me an upgrade to a super special suite. Highly recommend and I will stay there again no doubt!

Warm and welcoming, seemed very clean, convenient if a little tight parking directly downstairs included. Smallish room in very good condition with table and chair. Though it seemed to be a somewhat older HVAC system, it was QUIET which is often not the case as they cycle off and on. We were able to adjust room temp just as we liked it. The hallways did not seem to be heated but this did not affect comfort of room at all. Lobby is quiet and mostly empty due to pandemic. Was not expecting much for breakfast (included) and it was just a basic grab-and-go or sit in the lobby. Would like to return in warmer times with more to do around town.

A very pleasant surprise, reasonably priced and one of the nicer small hotels we've ever been! Very comfortable room and bed! Will definitely be back!

The Kendall House was so charming we loved the decor and the rooms were clean and cozy! Staff so nice. Highly recommend to stay

We could not have been happier with our stay. We had to live with Covid restrictions, but it was nonetheless a very pleasant stay. The rooms are very comfortable and everyone in our family loved the beds and pillows and reported two excellent nights' sleep. The firehouse decor is charming. The location next to MIT worked well for us. The value is excellent.

What a wonderful stay we had! We were welcomed with instructions on parking and what The Kendall Hotel is doing to mitigate COVID concerns, and a bottle of rose. The room was clean and welcoming. The soundproof room removed all noise from the busy Cambridge street below. Not only was everything clean and precise, there was also a homey feel to it all! Extremely helpful staff who made sure our stay was top notch! Location also was on point. On the MIT campus, next to the redline (subway), and just a block from the Charles River we had access to all of Cambridge and Boston. I look forward to another stay!

Old world charm. The staff were extremely helpful under the circumstances (COVID-19).

We had a great stay at the Kendall! The location is great (steps away from the Kendall T stop) and the hotel is so welcoming. The space is warm and has all sorts of interesting designs; it feels like you've walked into your eccentric old uncle's house (in a good way!). The service was stellar—everyone was nice and helpful, and we felt immediately at home. The rooms were unusually large and the beds cozy, and we noticed that the entire space was impeccably clean. We've already planned to return!
