Top The Alchemist Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and staff was very helpful"

Courtyard by Marriott Boston-Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel"

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful building and beautiful room. We loved all the little touches, the seating area outdoors, the fancy versions of games, the marketplace of snacks, everything was very clean and worked well. The basement parking, while limited, was glorious! So easy to run to the car for something. This may have been my favorite part. We slept great, the bed was comfortable, the shower was perfect, it was a suite with a dishwasher and everything so we had all that we needed. Walking distance to a gas station, easy Uber pickup and food delivery. Would certainly stay again."
