6/10 Okay

Room was good enough but definitely showing signs of wear and the sound proofing of the room is bad so bring earplugs.
Elena, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I came to Harvard Square with my son for volleyball camp at Harvard University. I was looking for something within walking distance to the school with easy access to shopping and dining and this hotel was perfect! We were within minutes of casual to find dining restaurants, St Pauls catholic church, JFK memorial park and Harvard University. I've read others reviews but gave them a chance despite a few negative reviews. I found this hotel to have an amazing staff that went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and serviced daily. It was ao nice to come back from a long day of sightseeing and/or sports to a clean room with fresh linens. If you are ever in the Boston-Harvard Square area, I suggest staying at Harvard Square Hotel. Don't forget to eat at the Hourly Oyster Bar - the lobster rolls, Lobster Mac and cheese, oysters and cornbread were AMAZING!

Zoe, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The accommodations and especially the service far exceeded my expectations. The friendly young staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful both on the phone and in person. My room was simple, clean, and comfortable. The on-site parking was amazing, and for my needs the location could not have been more convenient. What a pleasant surprise!
