Top Tufts University Hotel Reviews

Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful! Loved the automatic lights and curtains turning on and off with Alexa."

Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, great staff, excellent lobby with places to sit or work and a restaurant. Combined with the great location, can't be beat!"

Hotel 1868

8/10 Good

"It was a very enjoyable time"

Porter Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close the Porter subway station, great pub next door...made for an excellent home base on a vacation adventure to Boston."

Hyatt Place Boston/Medford

10/10 Excellent

"Travelled with family mainly for a bucket list trip to Fenway Park. Perfect location if you are open to using MBTA transit, which is TOTALLY worth it. Get yourself a CharlieCard, put some $ on it and you can get everywhere on MBTA (historic sites, museums, Fenway, etc.), you just need to plan a bit. Hotel is less than 10 minutes from the Medford/Tufts station which has plenty of parking ($20 all day). One of the elevators was in and out of service, and the pool floor could use a re-do, but nothing disrupted us at all. Front desk and housekeeping staff were great, rooms are very spacious, great spread for breakfast. Also Medford has plenty to do itself if not heading to the city. A+!"

The Row Hotel at Assembly Row, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Nice atmosphere!"

The Charles Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice"

Irving House At Harvard

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful experience to have stayed at Irving House. Highly recommended-"

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Boston Medford

8/10 Good

"The room is spacious, comfortable, and well equipped, and the location is very convenient. It has a kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator, a sofa and armchair, a work desk, a large TV, and a spacious bathroom. The air conditioning also works well. Unfortunately, housekeeping has been inconsistent. At check-in, we were told the room would be cleaned every other day, but we went about a week without a proper cleaning. We contacted the front desk, and although the first promised service did not happen, they arranged a full cleaning the following day. Housekeeping then came and did a thorough job, and the room is now in very good condition, which we appreciate. The other issue is that the water dispenser on the fourth floor is not working, so we have to go down to the second floor near the fitness center to refill our water. This has still not been resolved. Overall, we like the room and the property and will probably stay here again when we come to Boston next time."
