This hotel offers a standardized, industrialized experience, which I found to be excellent. The shared showers and restrooms, serving four rooms, were continuously cleaned by staff, which was also great. The hotel is a 20-minute walk from the North Station train/bus station, and also a 20-minute walk from Boston Common/the start of the Freedom Trail. Chinatown is a 10-minute walk away. To get to Harvard University, it's a 10-minute walk to the subway station. Remember to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste when staying at hotels in the US. The Revolution Hotel offers great value for money. Also, US hotel prices can fluctuate a lot, so it's important to book at the right time and make a quick decision. Thanks to Trip.com and the supplier. Traveling abroad really makes me appreciate how well Trip.com performs, and it's no easy feat.

Before I booked this place, I wanted to experience the atmosphere of the school club, and overall I was very satisfied. Because the flight arrived too early, I stayed in the cold wind at the door for half an hour at six o'clock. The chef came to work and opened the door for me to enter. Fortunately, there was coffee and cookies. Then I was very lucky that the room that I was supposed to check in at 3pm was checked into my room at 8:30pm! ! The bed and pillows were very, very comfortable! ! Although the room is not big and the bathroom is in the corridor, there are only 12 rooms in the entire hotel, so it is very quiet and no one is disturbed. I stayed still and didn’t want to go out. This club used to be an all-girls college, so the old ladies I saw playing mahjong the next day were all students from the previous school. The only thing that didn't feel good was that there was a restroom next to the restaurant. Maybe it was because of the sewers, so there was a bit of a smell near the restroom.

I had the pleasure of staying at this brand new hotel, and it truly exceeded expectations. The facility is modern and spotless, but the real highlight is the staff—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. When I struggled with the coffee machine in my room, someone was there in minutes to guide me through it with a smile. A special shout-out to Erin, who went above and beyond. Not only did she surprise me for my birthday (such a thoughtful touch!), but she also gave me fantastic local tips and advice. Thanks to her, I discovered Ruka—an amazing restaurant I highly recommend. She also helped me plan my first walk around Harvard Campus, which was a highlight of my trip. The location is perfect, right next to Harvard Business School with a lovely view. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers warmth, efficiency, and a great setting. I’ll definitely be back!

Highly recommend this hotel! The front desk staff, especially the Black gentleman, was incredibly friendly and always greeted me warmly whenever I left. The hotel rooms are much larger than what you'd typically find in New York. I'm not sure if every floor has one, but having a water dispenser was a great bonus. There's also a coffee machine in the lobby on the first floor that guests can use freely. Plus, the hotel's location is super convenient!

The room was very nice and very clean! We forgot some toiletries (toothpaste, shower cap), and they sent them up within a few minutes after the call to the front desk. The check-in process was very smooth, and the guy was very helpful and friendly. The overnight guy, on the other hand, was not amused when my cousins and I came back in at 4 am drunk, but I do not blame him hahaha, he seemed over it. They lock the front door to the hotel after hours for security purposes, and you unlock it with your room key. I liked that. For girls, the lighting in the bathroom was PHENOMENAL. and they have a full body mirror in the room which is important to me. Many plugs around the bed/room/desk! The hallway is dark.

It was a clean capsule hotel. However, I was concerned about the shared shower room being dirty after use. The water pressure was weak. Considering the price, I think it's a great hotel.

I had a great stay at Arcadian Hotel Brookline. The room was very clean and spacious, making it really comfortable to relax after a long day. The location is excellent—there’s a Green Line train stop right in front of the hotel, which makes getting around Boston super easy and convenient. They also offer a simple breakfast with options like bread, boiled eggs, cereal, fruit, milk, tea, coffee, and cheese. It’s not fancy, but it’s perfect for a quick start to the day. Overall, it’s definitely worth the price, and I would happily stay here again!

The hotel is situated in a quiet Boston neighborhood, conveniently close to the Metro, about a 30-minute ride from the city center. The room was spacious but felt a bit dated. Storage in the bathroom was limited. Parking was available right outside my room. Breakfast offered limited savory options, although a pancake machine was a fun addition. The laundry facilities were good. Friendliness from the front desk staff was lacking.
