Staff was amazing at both check in and check out. They really stood out. Location was perfect; coffee was exceptional; room was so clean, too hot even after I turned the heat down but I should have turned it down more; lobby area was spacious and inviting. Thanks for a great stay!

Hotel Veritas is a quaint boutique spot perfectly located in Cambridge. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a nice touch to have complimentary cold water bottles and coffee available. The shower had great water pressure, and everything was clean and well-kept. It wasn’t the quietest — we could occasionally hear people in the hallway — but there wasn’t much noise overall, and it didn’t bother us as heavy sleepers. All in all, a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

This hotel is very clean, attractive, and a 5 to 10 minute walk to Harvard University an Harvard Square. The rooms are small. The room I checked into was attractive with a lots of natural light but didn't have a desk, so I switched to a room that did have desk but much less natural light. The staff went out out of its way to be helpful.

We liked that it was located within walking distance to the areas we needed to go as we were staying there. The only problem we had was that the toilet wouldn't flush at times because the chain on the tank kept falling off. The staff was very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again when we visit our daughter at Harvard.

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.

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.
