Top Harvard University Hotel Reviews

Irving House At Harvard

8/10 Good

"I honestly think they should’ve had more breakfast options. They should’ve offered scrambled eggs."

The Atlas Hotel Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"New hotel. Next to Harvard b school"

Harvard Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Transportation is very convenient as well as parking lots"

citizenM Boston Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time. Great location and this hotel has everything you need. I needed some help from the hotel either receiving a gift for my boyfriend at check in and they were super helpful with accommodating this. The only thing is that when I stayed at this hotel in NYC they provided water bottles/containers you could take to your room, this one didn’t. And I found myself missing this. It’s a small thing but makes a big difference. Besides this, would stay here again!"

Studio Allston Hotel

8/10 Good

"Walkable distance to Harvard"

Arcadian Hotel

8/10 Good

"The reservation said 2 queen beds but we got 2 full beds instead so be careful when you book."

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The Paperback "café" on the lobby floor is far better than most hotels. Wine, beer, juice, water, etc. plus sandwiches and salads at reasonable prices. Very nice staff. However, the breakfast buffet is sub par. Slightly better than Hampton Inn but way below Hilton Garden Inn. Dry, fake scrambled eggs, Very little fruit and baked goods. Chaotic scene as you enter. Out of control. My room had a great view of the Charles River."

The Charles Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel in the heart of Harvard Square. Have been to the area many times for various things but never stayed until now. Lovely room and nice amenities. We enjoyed room service and a lovely view of campus."
