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.
