Top Harvard Square Hotel Reviews

Arcadian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Me encanto el hotel, las camas muy cómodas el personal muy atento, me volvería alojar en el arcadian"

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Boston - Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Hi- We had a pleasant stay, but we did run into two separate issues with our visit. The first was that when we went to use the pool on Wednesday we walked in on swim classes occurring. My husband and I double checked that there hadn’t been any signs announcing that the pool was in use by another group. We could not find any notice that the pool was being used by a swim classes. Our children attempted to avoid running into the areas where the classes were taking place, but the instructors were using many pool toys that constantly were floating independently throughout the pool. We would have appreciated a posted sign letting us know about the space conflicts or a schedule of availability. The final issue was that the shower soap was empty the entirety of our stay. We would have appreciated it to have been in stock. That being said, the room was cleaned very well and we truly enjoyed the shuttle services."

Lark Hotels 907 Main

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay very much. Friendly and helpful staff. Great old building with modern rooms, just large enough to be comfortable. ice cream stores in either direction, and 2 restaurants on the premises. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area. Enjoyable stay."

The Atlas Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great clean hotel with excellent staff"

Hotel 1868

10/10 Excellent

"This is a perfect hotel for a couple. We were there one night and enjoyed the hotel. Super clean and modern for an outstanding rate. My only complaint is that this is really not kid friendly. The hotel seems to only have queen beds and I don’t think we could add on a child for a future stay. Thats ok, though- this wasn’t a family trip. Guests, please tip your valet drivers and housekeepers- we got the sense that this doesn’t usually happen!!"
