A very nice hotel close to the metro station. Travel by metro to downtown Boston is 20 minutes. There is a shopping area close to the hotel. The rooms are well prepared and clean.

I really enjoyed my stay at Porter Square Hotel. This was my first time visiting Boston. The check in process was quick. The front desk person David was friendly and very helpful. This is a small hotel but very clean and well put together. The rooms are not huge but it was just enough room. It offers a nice area in the basement to get ice, coffee and tea. There is also two computer stations, a sitting area and bathrooms available. There is an attached restaurant which I didnt visit. This hotel only offers valet parking at $28/day which is much cheaper than anywhere else in Boston. The valet were prompt when I requested my car. This is a great area for exploring or catching the train which is within one block. There are several coffee shops, grocery store, Target, and a wide variety of restaurants in this area. I really enjoyed my stay and will reserve again when I visit Boston. Perfect hotel for small parties and solo travelers.

Unfortunately I can't recommend this hotel, they block lots of perfectly normal network traffic (VPNs like Wireguard, Mullvad, Tailscale, iOS private relay, etc) and SSH/git. There's no good reason to do this. Obviously I can tether to my phone, that's not the point. I will update this review if this changes, but I don't expect front desk people to be able to resolve a complicated networking issue like this so I'm leaving this here in case anyone is looking for a place to stay and expects to get work done.

Stayed for two nights while visiting my partner in Cambridge. Hotel offered everything I needed. Great room, good ambiance, great views and spacious for two people

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience. I booked this hotel for one week and faced many issues with the internet. It is very restricted and does not allow VPN connections, which was a major problem for me. Additionally, the staff were not friendly at all, they seemed uninterested, showed zero empathy, and did not try to help. Because of these issues, I had to cancel my stay.

Room is decent for a 3 star hotel. 2 min walk from major subway / bus station. Front desk wasn't super friendly.

Very nice room hotel and location. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but only friendly. One night the heating was not sufficient though.

Very clean, compact, comfortable room. Nice coffee maker. Clever use of space for storage. Excellent location literally across the street from the railway station. Helpful staff. Small business centre downstairs with internet access. Attached restaurant looks good but I didn't go so cannot comment.

We had a wonderful stay at Porter Square Hotel! The location is excellent and very convenient. Just a short walk from the hotel is Prisha Esthetician Salon, which made it so easy for my wife to get her waxing and manicure done during our trip. She even tried threading for the first time there and had an awesome experience. The combination of a comfortable hotel stay and having such great services nearby made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend both!

Nice and friendly staff, awesome location! Very close to Red Line subway station, just few stops from the downtown. Excellent neighborhood: many shops, caffes, Target, pharmacy, dining options in close vicinity. Rooms are clean and cosy, but quite small. Modern interior decoration.
