    distracting noise

    The art was really cool. The location was great

    but the noise from the hallway was distracting at times. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, and the staff provided helpful information during our stay.

    great location
    beautiful river view
    friendly staff

    Had an awesome time with friends! The location was perfect for strolling to the Museum of Science and checking out the historic sites in the city. The room had a mesmerizing view of the Charles River, and we enjoyed the nice ambiance at the Dante bar. Pro tip, the black-out curtains could be better for light sleepers, and it’s cool that the mall across the street has everything you need.

    We loved strolling to the Museum of Science, which was just a short walk away. The friendly staff really enhanced our stay, and the pool with its stunning sky view was a highlight for all of us. Perfect location for exploring Boston!

    For dads, it would be great to have more kid-friendly menu options for dining.

    delicious french toasts
    beautiful river view
    great nearby dining
    noisy hallways
    annoying toilet paper

    Oh, the French toasts at ArtBar were heavenly! Speaking of local gems, the quick stroll to Bambara Cambridge for dinner had my taste buds dancing with joy. Those moments coupled with the beautiful river view really made my stay extra special!

    Though everything else sparkled, the noisy floor made it hard to catch some Z's. Plus, the toilet paper was a notorious escape artist—it fell off more times than I could count!

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I loved waking up to the beautiful view of the Charles River from my King Room with City View! The indoor heated pool was a perfect spot to relax with its stunning glass roof. Plus, I couldn't resist the scrumptious brunch at ArtBar – those French toasts were out of this world!

    strongly recommend 😊❤️

    limited amenities guidance

    The Royal Sonesta Boston impressed me with its classic modern lobby, featuring extensive contemporary art and warm neutral colors. It was not only aesthetically pleasing but also easily accessible, making it convenient for seniors like myself to navigate safely.

    More information on amenities would be helpful.

    beautiful views
    short walk

    explore cambridge and boston from a perfect central base

    the best part of my stay was the beautiful views of the charles river and city from my fourth-floor city view room. It’s just a short walk to popular attractions like the boston public garden and kendall square, making it a great spot for leisurely exploring. however, the parking situation was a bit pricey.

    Stunning River Views and Great Amenities

    I stayed for 2 nights in the Two Queens River View room and loved the breathtaking views of the Charles River! The hotel provided good amenities like a spacious indoor pool and easy access to nearby shopping. While the room was comfortable and clean, the lobby area could use some updates to enhance the overall appearance. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely return for the view alone!

    stunning river views
    friendly staff
    noisy hallway

    My stay at the Sonesta was delightful! The art-filled lobby reflected my passion as an art historian. Stunning river views from my King Room captured the essence of Cambridge. A noisy hallway slightly distracted from my rest, but overall, I had a wonderful experience.

    Comfortable Stay with a Few Hiccups

    Had a family getaway for 3 nights. The staff was accommodating and friendly, making our experience enjoyable. However, we had noise disturbances from the next room. The pillows could use an upgrade for better comfort. Request a room away from noisy areas for a quieter stay!

    great location
    unfriendly staff
    high parking fees
    room service issues

    I enjoyed the location, it's perfect for families with easy access to the Museum of Science. The room offered a lovely river view that made my mornings special. The indoor pool was a great spot for relaxation, and the kids had a fantastic time. However, the check-in process was a bit off-putting. Staff seemed unfriendly and not very welcoming. We faced issues with room service when I tried to order late. I received an abrupt response that it was already closed, despite the advertised hours. The room, while nice, had some cleanliness issues that needed attention, especially in the bathroom. Also, the parking fees are quite steep, which added to the overall expense of the stay.

    Comfortable room, convenient location, perfect for families with children, near the mall and a short distance to the Science Museum, along with an indoor swimming pool and a friendly staff eager to assist.
