Harvard Square Hotel

Great location in the midst of Harvard village. Staff were friendly and room was perfect for my Boston vacation.

We had a great stay at the Harvard Square Hotel. The location is excellent — within walking distance of parks, restaurants, shops, bars, coffee shops, and, of course, Harvard University. It’s a perfect spot for exploring the area without needing a car. The hotel offers convenient private parking, which is a great advantage in Cambridge. The rooms have a minimalist design, making the space feel clean, comfortable, and functional. It’s an excellent choice for couples or small families looking for a well-located and practical place to stay while visiting Harvard Square. We would definitely consider staying here again.

The air conditioning wasn't working on a 100+ degree day when we checked in. Their response was some other local hotels were having problems. I called up several nearby hotels and none reported that problem. The AC wasn't fixed until five hours later. On the plus side, if you want a place that's close to Harvard Square, nothing beats this place. The rooms were small, but clean, and had comfortable beds.

This is a great”nuts and bolts” hotel. Well maintained, clean and helpful staff. The amenities are few but clean. The proximity of the Hotel at Harvard Square makes up for the lack of restaurant, fitness center and the like.
