"Luxurious Stay in Cambridge"
Hotel Marlowe has enough style to give it cachet. Rooms are comfortable and well furnished. The lobby has a wonderful sitting area with a fireplace and the closeness of the mall down the block gives plenty of dining and shopping options. 3rd St gives even more original dining options, including a good tapas restaurant, Kika.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"My new go to business hotel in Boston"
Clean, well maintained room and hotel. Linens and Pillows were exceptional and I slept great, (Not usual for me). the room was quiet, very little to no noise intrusion, no noise from street. Breakfast was excellent and so was the service. Parking was convenient, albeit a little expensive, but again it is downtown boston.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Stylish, great food but poor location"
Reasonably priced for level of quality and maintenance of the property and rooms. Exceptional steak frites at on-site restaurant and very attentive staff. Hotel is not near any prime retail or tourist attraction or convenient to any of Boston's excellent mass transit system.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice stay"
I was in town for business, but decided to come in a day early since I had never been to Boston and wanted to see the city. Very nice hotel without feeling ostentatious. Clean and comfortable room at a very acceptable price. Friendly staff. Close to the T, so super easy to head into Boston proper and see the city. Plus they have complimentary wine and […] apps from 5 to 6 in lobby, which was just what I needed when I checked in! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"fantastic hotel and service!"
This hotel was nothing short of wonderful. From the decor, to the really nice touches, to the service, this hotel is hard to beat. Right next to the Galleria mall in Cambridge and the Lechmere T stop, it's nicely situated, though a bit far from Kendall Sq. I saw that they have complimentary kayaks and bikes which would be really nice in the warm weather. […] I really enjoyed my stay! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Marlowe, a Kimpton Hotel Hello! The location is really nice, the only people it is not great for is those who cannot stay out of malls! As you noticed we do have bikes and kayaks, so I assume that we will see you when it gets a bit warmer! See you soon!

"Restful nights at Hotel Marlow"
Hotel Marlowe is a beautiful place, with great amenities and a friendly staff. While one of our nights was somewhat disrupted by a noisy party acros the hall, the staff was proactive and worked to quickly remedy the situation. The wine reception really made coming back to the hotel in the evenings pleasant. Parking was tricky to figure out, and was […] expensive, but on comparison turned out to be cheaper than what other hotels in the area offered. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the hotel itself was gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Top Notch Hotel"
This is a phenomenal hotel. The rooms are really comfortable & clean. I usually don't pay much attention to how a room is decorated but I noticed it here. Really well done -- made the late night work comfortable / bearable. Food is excellent as well and all of the staff were very friendly / helpful. Only improvement I can think of is high speeds on […] the internet front. I will definitely be staying here again soon. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"The Hotel Marlowe"
A great choice if you are going to Boston -- this hotel is located on the Cambridge side of the river, a 10 minute cab ride to downtown and it has all of the amenities and comfort the Kimpton Hotels are known for and its probably less expensive than staying in Boston. The restaurant is also really good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Find"
I came across the Marlowe on the internet and wasn't sure what to think, but I was especially pleased and will return to the Marlowe on future return trips to Boston or Cambridge.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
My ONLY complaint is the quality of the beds! This place is so beautiful and the service was great--but the mattresses were terrible--lumpy-- and mine actually was curved where people sleep. I've stayed in much cheaper hotels with much nicer beds. I wouldn't Put my name (recommend) this hotel--UNLESS I also mentioned the bed situation.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"GREAT!"
That was my second time in Boston/Cambridge, and definitely this was a great hotel. I have never seen any hotel staff nicer than the ones at Marlowe. I highly recommend the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The best business hotel anywhere"
I travel all the time in Europe and the US and without any doubt the Marlowe is my favorite business hotel. The quality of the service, the bar, the rooms and the staff are all exactly what you want when you are travelling. I judge all other business hotels against this one.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Well worth it!"
The Marlow is a very warm and comfortable hotel adjacent to the Galleria Mall and walking distance to the Museum of Science. Close enough to downtown Boston, I even walked to the TD Garden. A nice place to stay, clean comfortable rooms and well appointed with friendly staff, cant ask for much more.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Affordable Boston spot, if you don't need to be in the heart of things"
You are a $10-15, 10-20 min cab ride from most of the Boston highlights, and that's the way to think about this hotel: comfort, quality, good service, and with regular cabs... so as long as you are saving $50/night or more compared to the usual 4-star hotels downtown (I did), it's a great option for value in downtown Boston!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge/Boston"
Really great hotel although not overly practical in terms of location unless you need quick access to the Museum of Science. It is right by the Charles river however and has easy and cheap access via taxi to the city. The staff is amazing and the hotel is super clean. Great bar and restaurant downstairs. I would highly recommend it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel- review your bill"
Great stay, nice wine reception, convenient to the Lechmere T station, restaurant service great. However an erroneous mini bar charge that was not mine. It was removed at checkout. Another charge after I checked out and billed to my credit card. Called hotel and it should be resolved. Dislike mini bars for that reason alone.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Marlowe Hotel, Cambridge MA"

"Great location;cheerful staff"
This was our second visit to the Hotel Marlowe. It's upscale, a bit quirky and fun. The staff is friendly and cheerful, rooms are clean and well-appointed. Appreciate the eco-friendly and pet friendly values. We skipped the dining room, partly because the prices are a bit steep and there are other options within easy walking distance. The wine reception […] was a nice touch, too. Will definitely visit Kimpton Hotels in other cities. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
