Best hotel in MA I’ve stayed at. Amazing balcony/ terrace space, the location is beautiful, the rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend especially for this price.
The Hotel Veritas is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Harvard Square. It is in an extremely walkable location with easy access to the red line subway straight into Boston. I felt safe and extremely at-home staying there. I would have lived a full-length mirror and recycling bin in the room.
Great location if you are visiting Harvard/Harvard Square. Very friendly staff - clean, comfortable rooms. On the smaller side but it did the job when I was out and about!
Location is very good and convenient. 3/4 minutes walk from the Harvard university, and have nice staffs. Water and tea/ coffee available all the time at free of cost. I loved this place because my son is staying 1 minute away from the hotel.
This is one of the most beautiful little hotels in Cambridge. The staff are amazing. It’s a wonderful place. I would recommend it in every time I’ve stayed there many times and each time is better and they just remodeled and it’s beautiful.

Good place
The room was spacious and the bee comfortable. However, the climate control was very difficult to manage.
Lovely boutique hotel, excellent location within walking distance to everything Harvard. Modern, relaxed, and soothing european designed common areas and rooms. VERY comfortable beds, pillows, and good shower pressure. Appreciate the 24/7 Nescafe coffee, bottled water, and tea. Staff was welcoming and attentive. Would definitely come back and stay here again when I need to be in town.
