Location is great. Super close to the red line and only one stop from Harvard and 2 (or 3?) from MIT. Lot's of food options within a 2 minute walk. This hotel was the lowest cost option I could find within easy reach of Harvard & MIT.

This is a pleasant, wonderful hotel. Clean, simple, great for a business trip to Cambridge. The red line is right across the street, and although on Mass Ave it is not noisy. Rooms are specious, clean, in a minimalist style. comfortable bed.

Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk...
Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk around. The streets are clean, the parks are beautifully maintained and there is stunning historic architecture, as well as quaint shops and eateries everywhere. We particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful Memorial Hall. It's a pity visitors can't look inside, into the Annenberg Hall dining area, but we appreciate that the Harvard students may not like an audience whilst eating : ). The Harvard University of Natural History is fantastic and the Glass Flowers exhibit is a must-see! Being a rower, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful Weld Boathouse and Newell Boathouse and watching crews row up and down the Charles River. If you love books, The COOP bookstore is well worth a visit and if you enjoy ice-cream, I would highly recommend getting a Taiyaki (Japanese ice-cream) from Taiyaki NYC in Church Street. The ramen at Boston Ramen at 24 Holyoke Street was delicious and I would highly recommend grabbing a waffle and coffee from the food truck parked in the Harvard Science Center Plaza. If you're going into Boston, I would highly recommend the Boston Tea Party Ships and museum experience (an excellent interactive, re enactment experience), having a ride on the beautiful Greenway Carousel and walking through the Boston Common, seeing the 'Make way for ducks' statue and, for the 'Cheers' tv series fans, visiting the Cheers bar.

Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff.
Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff. Booked in advance, was quoted $186 tax included. But, at check-in I was notified that it cost $25 per day, per parking spot and a $75 fee that would be returned (5 to 7 days) after checkout. Plus they wanted $20 per person for breakfast. Total: $326 for 2 people for one night. Nice place, but won't spend that to stay there again.

It's in a good location for Cambridge, and even not far from Boston amenities. It is NOT right near Harvard campus, though, if that's what you're looking for ... but not far.
The facility is fine - an inn, not a hotel, but with room amenities of a hotel.

One can get to a residence or a hotel easily from Logan airport.
If you walk to Harvard, you can enjoy watching red leaves on the way.
As Harvard square is a walking distance, shopping, sightseeing and joining conference are very convenient. You can enjoy Continental and sophisticated atmosphere because the University of Harvard is very near.

Cambridge is much nicer than Boston, and the Harvard Campus is wonderful to walk around, with big trees and lots of open spaces. There are good restaurants too - we really enjoyed The Druid Irish pub. There is also a lot to see and do. Two days was too short to go to everything we wanted to visit.

Excellent hotel, comfortable rooms, with a beautiful view.
Excellent hotel, comfortable rooms, with a beautiful view. The area is very safe and quiet, relatively close to the center and the airport. The indoor pool is very nice. There is a coffee shop on the first floor that sells Starbucks products. The rooms with very comfortable beds, excellent coffee as well as a spacious safe. Excellent hotel.
Well positioned hotel just across from the Porter Sq T stop on red line. Very clean and staff welcoming and efficient. Room well equipped with plenty of free water and coffee available plus ice machine in the basement. Bed was large and comfortable and bathroom well equipped with good shower. Hotel was good value in a city of crazy hotel prices and it was really simple to travel into central Boston on the T. Good choice of bars and restaurants in the area (Shine Sq Bar best value and friendliest that we found). Overall a comfortable stay
Staff was very polite and did their very best to serve (it's always owners' decisions, not staff's, that ruin these places). But they were also oblivious to the fact that, as a Cambridge resident myself (unable to live in my own house this summer), I was not thrilled to hear that their group had bought up so many Cambridge houses to make them B & Bs that they cannot fill them. Perhaps, then, they shouldn't have made their small contribution to Cambridge's housing crisis in the way they did.
Excellent location near many great restaurants and pubs and the train. It looks newly renovated so is super clean and very comfortable. Valet parking is a little expensive but we found a cheap ‘spot hero’ parking space nearby. There are also parking meters outside the hotel that were easy to find - at least when we stayed (mid-August) where you can park for free from 8pm until 8am.
Breakfast was good, with waffles, scrambled eggs and some fresh fruit (but nothing fancy). The location is convenient to both Cambridge (MIT, Harvard square) and Boston. A few blue bikes stations nearby and plenty of cafes around. The room was clean and everything seems to be new/refreshed. Garage is very conveniently located real close (but not in the same building).
THE LOCATION!! I took my parents to visit their granddaughter who is currently a freshman at Harvard. It was so wonderful to walk out the door and easily meet her anywhere in Harvard Square. This is our 3rd stay at Hotel Veritas! And the staff - so warm and accommodating. Thank you!
The hotel was good, it had parking (although kind of tight), the location was good, the staff was friendly, the value was good and in general it will be my to go place in Cambridge. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and the breakfast was pretty good. Will be back.
The staff was very helpful, and the location was perfect for us. Our double room was super comfortable and spotless - also very charmingly decorated. The whole hotel is well set up with good options for meeting others, food and just taking a break in the lobby areas.
This is a pleasant, wonderful hotel. Clean, simple, great for a business trip to Cambridge. The red line is right across the street, and although on Mass Ave it is not noisy. Rooms are specious, clean, in a minimalist style. comfortable bed.
I was in Boston for the marathon, this hotel was well situated for the red line to get down to the marathon area.
Also plenty of places nearby to eat out and get snacks etc.
Would happily stay here again.
I have stayed in several hotels while doing research at Harvard. This location for its value is the best so far. I found the facility very well appointed. I will return there undoubtedly.
The reception staff was amazing and very welcoming. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is well located, very close to Cambridge center and not too far from city center.
The location is the best if you are about to work on Harvard for a few days. It is also a great and safe neighbourhood. The supermarket (Farm) in front of the hotel is quite good.
