Hotels near Harvard Square, Boston

The Charles is really a great classic hotel - a solid choice. Perfect location in Harvard Square, excellent quality in all respects, refined décor, pleasant and helpful staff. It's great having 2 good restaurants in the hotel.

The breakfast was delicious: the choice and quality of food provided exceeded expectations by far; the hotel keeps a historic and traditional charm in virtually every aspect but remains comfortable at all times;

From the second I drew up to the front, Victor was there to welcome me with a smile and help with my luggage. Erin checked me in and was wonderfully cheerful which was so lovely after a long day of travelling & she remained the same throughout my stay. The staff here couldn’t do enough for me & all gave the impression that they love their jobs and are happy to be there (we all know this is rare these days!) I’m so glad I stayed here now before it gets so well known. As I was leaving the building it started to rain, without hesitation I was handed an umbrella and told to keep it. A genuine heartfelt thank you to all the staff that I saw/met and those I didn’t. I hope to return again. And just remember…. No Scotland, No Party!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Spacious rooms, comfortable beds

Very comfortable room with a picturesque view from the window. I like staying here. We asked to extend our staying for 1 hour and got it for free. Reception managers were very kind and helpful. Good location - not far from Harvard, MIT and Boston center.

The room was clean and there was free coffee and water. Excellent location!

Amazing ameneties, great staff and very spacious room! The parking right around the hotel was an amazing plus as well. All in all a great place to stay for anyone trying to visit Cambridge or the Boston area in general. Right next to the Hotel you will find a Star market as well as a Starbucks and a McDonalds - just in case the Hotels ameneties are not the right fit flor you. I can only recommend!

Everything clean and tidy. Bathroom has shampo and soap and towels .. bedroom is comfortable and warm. Breakfast was good, multiple choices to choose from.also parking is available.. Thanks a lot ,keep it up

Great location. Close to all the terrific diners in Watertown. Staff is friendly and exceptionally responsive. Rooms were recently renovated and the amenities are superior which includes the best lobby coffee maker and hotel/motel coffee I have ever had---there is a Dominos and liquor store across the street. And there is also an excellent walking trail along the Charles River which is only two blocks away.

Great location and staff very welcoming
