Top Harvard Yard Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"I need to shorten my stay, the hotel staff went out of their way to refund me the day I didn't stay. Appreciate the help!"

Lark Hotels 907 Main

10/10 Excellent

"The people working at the front desk were so nice and very helpful. The parking was easy. The room was nice. There is an attached restaurant that is its own private entity but they have a relationship and the food there was very good with a nice atmosphere. The rooftop bar seemed great but it was full when we went to check it out. The location is great. The only thing that I would change which is so minor has to do with the bathroom. The faucets are to close to the edge of the sink so water splashes on the counter and the toilet seat doesn't stay up easily. Everything was great."

Porter Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Space was good, I liked the location. Overall solid experience."

Irving House At Harvard

8/10 Good

"Pro: great location, easy check in and check out, friendly staff. Con: dingy carpet and floor; poor noise insulation from neighboring rooms and hallway. I recommend requesting a room on the upper 4th floor and away from the stairs to minimize noise of people going in/out and up/down at all hours, especially because the shared bathrooms are in the hallway."

Hotel 1868

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable room and helpful kind staff very close to the train and shops."

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good experience overall. If sensitive to noise, there is some of that"

Courtyard by Marriott Boston-Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Breakfast division was odd. They should just charge for it… and let people have whatever is sitting out."

Harvard Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time staying here, but hopefully not our last. The room was immaculate, the staff was very professional, and the location is perfect!!"

Ginkgo House on Harvard

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet, clean, and very kind manager"
