Great concierge and front desk service! I was given such a beautifully furnished and well-cleaned room. Not a lot of space, but no need for a single occupant. I liked having access to the self-service espresso bar downstairs. They just need to offer more than oat milk as an alternative. Great price, wish I was staying here for Harvard Graduation. It does get loud with student nightlife during the weekends, due to proximity to Harvard Square.

The room was nice. They upgraded us to a balcony room, which was extremely convenient. Heated floor in the bathroom was perfect on this cold day. The staff was helpful, convenient parking underground, no problem even though the valet was not on duty. Location ws very convenient to attend a concert in your by Davis Square and Friendly Toast is almost right across the street for amazing breakfast.

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.
