Lovely boutique hotel with unique rooms that are fairly spacious and comfortable with a microwave and fridge as a bonus. The staff are helpful and the breakfast was delicious. The area is limited in terms of dining and things to do but is safe.

8/10 Very good

Great except for very tight parking lot
Very nice smaller hotel with a lot of character and friendly staff. Breakfast is good (except for the potatoes). The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars, is the parking, which is very tight and difficult to navigate. Without a car, it's 5 stars.

A little jewel in Cambridge
The Kendall is a great hotel with the feel of a bed and breakfast. It is close to MIT and only 2 stops away from Harvard. It is clean and comfortable, the staff helpful and friendly.It is in a historic building (engine 7 firehouse) and there is some memorabilia inside. It is also only a few stops away from the center of Boston.

Great choice for Cambridge—or Boston
Charming boutique hotel with quiet rooms and helpful staff. And with Boston so close, this is a great choice not just for Kendall Square in Cambridge but also Boston.
