A go to hotel when I'm in Boston. Newton is a suburb but you can be in Boston very quickly but no subway stations nearby. It's right over the Massachusetts turnpike (but I've never felt bothered by highway traffic noise) it's not in town but couldn't be closer to the highway that gets you into the city or directly to the airport. It's got a great bar connected called Social that has really good food and live music sometimes on weekends and another small, neighborhood style bar right across the street (Buff's Pub) that has solid pub food and some of the best wings in the Boston area. They will for sure have whichever Boston sports game on. Bar closes early though, maybe 11pm. A great pizza place and a few other restaurants and a liquor store in walking distance (and a Dunkin' Donuts). Service is always good, the pool is quite small but it exists and is old but clean. No gym. Breakfast is solid. Parking Garage too.
Choosing this home, the price is OK, not too far from the city center, the room is a bit old, fairly clean and tidy. There is also an antique piano in the hall that can be played. The breakfast is worth mentioning, the stock is sufficient, and there is a machine for self-baked waffles and pancakes. The children like to roast and like it, eating a lot of cakes. It’s just a shop selling cars nearby, but there is a stop shop and a KFC. The next day I found out that I went to a nearby Chinese buffet. It’s very good!
The hotel is a bit dated, but relatively clean. Breakfast is self-service, and you need to ask for coffee, orange juice, and other items. After each meal, I hesitated over whether to tip. We stayed four nights, and on our last day, after breakfast, I gave the black waiter a $10 tip. The hotel's self-service washers and dryers require quarters, but the front desk wouldn't exchange coins. I ended up using the app to wash clothes, but they couldn't dry them. I hope the hotel can improve this. The location is pretty good, not far from MIT, Harvard, and downtown, about a 10-minute walk away.
Wonderful stay, it was only one night but the staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel is updated and modern, clean and comfortable. The king bed mattress was so comfortable.I will definitely be back. The location near the Broadway stop on the Red Line was perfect.

Great historic hotel!
Excellent location, about an 18 minutes walk to Boston Common. Great customer service, and check-in was quick and smooth.
Even though the bathroom is shared, I really liked the layout. The toilet, shower, and sink are all in one private space, unlike many hostels where the sink is communal and the toilet and shower are separate. The toilets are constantly cleaned, and the rooms are also very clean and well maintained.
The rooms and beds are comfortable, and the heating and air conditioning work perfectly. The gym is definitely a plus, and the free Halloween candies were a delightful touch!
I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.
The Somerville Cumbria Hotel boasts a prime location near Harvard University in Boston, easily accessible on foot or by taxi to the campus and surrounding commercial areas, making it convenient for travelers visiting the campus.
The hotel's overall facilities are average. Rooms are standardly laid out, bedding is clean and tidy, and hot water is readily available, meeting basic accommodation needs. However, the facilities lack any standout features, and some equipment appears somewhat outdated. Compared to hotels in the same price range, the amenities are adequate but unremarkable.
Parking is available, but the $50 per night parking fee is relatively high, increasing the overall cost. Front desk service is responsive, and check-in and check-out are smooth, meeting the standards of a chain hotel. In summary, the hotel's location is its core advantage, but the facilities and parking costs detract from its overall value. It is suitable for travelers with specific location requirements and lower sensitivity to facilities and cost.
My kids and I decided to get out of Boston for the weekend during February school vacation. We got a 2 double bed room and the beds were extremely clean and comfortable, the room was a little small but extremely clean. The service and workers were great and friendly. The pool was clean (kind of too cold) but safe and had nice warm towels available. The free breakfast the next morning was delicious, nice spread of choices. The price was amazingly affordable! Overall a great experience, will definitely be coming back for April Vacation. 😊
房間整潔乾淨,配有一次性洗浴用品,酒店整體也很新。
不過預訂時無障礙間和普通間價格相同(税後USD161),入住後發現無障礙間沒有浴缸(但定的時候寫了是有浴缸的),前台告知換普通間需補USD30,但網上兩種房型價格一致,最終未更換。
餐廳為印度餐廳,味道不錯,酒類價格偏高。
The room was clean and tidy with disposable toiletries, and the hotel felt new overall.
However, although the accessible room and standard room were listed at the same price (USD 161 after tax), the accessible room had no bathtub. The front desk asked for an additional USD 30 to switch, despite both room types showing the same price online.
The restaurant serves Indian cuisine with good food, though alcohol prices are relatively high.
Very Good

GGuest UserLocation was central to Newbury St, Copley Square and not too far away to Boston Commons.
Rooms were decent but the windows did not do much to keep the noise out. So you would be hearing a lot of noise that may disrupt your sleep.
Toilet were a bit small so we'd need to balance out toiletries across various ledges and railings.
Also, the window of our room was broken so we couldn't lift the window.
The water pressure in the toilet were inconsistent.
Front desk was helpful to hold our bags before and after check-in and the free drinks for the rooms were neat.
Yyuan~erThe location is average and the health is OK. We are working there so choose. If it is a trip, it is more troublesome, because it costs 30 dollars to take a taxi to the city and 30 dollars to Harvard University. There are no slippers and toiletries in the room, and there are no hotels in the United States. It is very strange. Breakfast is mainly cold meals. It is good to use it as a fast hotel. Don't think about it compared with the domestic Hilton.
GGuest UserThe overall environment of the hotel is very good, the location is good, there is a subway and supermarkets are convenient for shopping, the disadvantage is that it is a little expensive, and it would be better if slippers could be provided
GGachonkiJust for a transit spending one night.
Plus: room was wide and comfortable. bathroom also wide, with enough towels. Coffee bag was provided, maybe free of charge. Breakfast starts from 6am, which was actual not so bad. Location a bit far from airport but 10 minutes or so drive.
Minus: bar on the day arrived closed at 9pm (information said it is open till 10pm). No bar and restaurant nearby the hotel. there was a pantry but just selling crisp (at 5 US dollars!) and detergent only.
AC was old fashioned.

GGuest UserThe room isn't huge, but it's really cozy if you're traveling solo. The location is super central and convenient. I booked a river-view room, and the outdoor scenery and night view were beautiful. The overall decor of the hallways and rooms has an industrial vibe, with very stylish details – like the screens in the elevator, the floor plans, and the dynamic hallway leading to the gym. They also provide a daily $35 voucher to use at the bar on the second floor for breakfast and more. On Easter Sunday (4/5), they even had donuts! The staff at the front desk and bar were all very friendly and helpful.
AAnonymous UserChecked in 29 and out 30 Dec.
Check in was smooth and was allowed early checked in at 1pm plus.
Room was decent with comfortable bed and coffee making ap apparatus.
Toilet was equipped with refillable shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, handsoap and moisturiser. Couldn't find toothbrush and toothpaste. No bedroom slippers.
Walk to Central (Red line) is 20 mins away, pretty far. But once on red line, traveling to various attractions are easy. Harvard and MIT stations for university tours and Downtown Crossing for shopping and eats.
Nice view of river.
Zzwk1029I stay at this hotel every time I take a flight. The parking lot is large and there is no charge if you don't stay overnight, so it is very convenient to return the rental car, take the hotel car back to the hotel, and then take the hotel car to the airport the next day. However, the only downside is that there is no water or coffee available in the lobby in the afternoon, which is very uncommon in the United States.

PpeacockfishThe layout of the room is quite standard, the sofa bed is very comfortable for one person, the free breakfast is delicious, parking is convenient, and it is only 10 minutes away from downtown. The location is very good.
Let's talk about Boston. The roads are complicated and many exits are not designed reasonably. It is easy to go wrong. Bostonians are highly educated and indifferent to others.
