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.
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!
Good location, helpful and efficient staff.
Great coffee machine but need to go to the lobby!
Return visit, and I’d recommend it to others.

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.
Wonderful stay! Room was freshly remodeled, lovely property, great location, but most importantly, staff are the best. Service is impeccable and the people are just the nicest and most friendly.
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.
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!
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.
