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.

Great location. Very friendly staff. Tiny room. Tiny bathroom. Bath towels too small to be useful. Uncomfortable beds. Would not recommend it or stay there again. Overpaid for the location but not a high value proposition.

The property is in an excellent location, the staff was friendly and efficient. The room itself was fine they even provided chocolates and water not a lot of noise got through the room and everything was well spaced as far as room design . Would definitely recommend if staying in the Harvard area.

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.

Tiny room with non working ac on a 100F day made it hard for us. Location is great but Boston being so well connected via T trains, I would live slightly further away for a bigger more comfortable room.

In the heart of the Harvard community, I've had two stays and wouldn't stay anywhere else. The rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully put together right down to the little light that pops on in front of your bed so you don't stump your toe in the dark. To work space commons. To walking distance to campus, food and shopping. Wonderful multi-night stays.
