We had a lovely experience at the Hotel Veritas and will definitely return. The hotel was stylish and clean, the lobby elegant but modern. Cold waters and Nespresso coffee machines are available off the lobby, and there is a small parking garage beneath the building, which they will valet for you. The manager was super professional and accommodating, and we had a great experience from top to bottom. The location near Harvard Square was perfect, and you can reach all sorts of things to eat, see, and do, with just a short walk.

Clean, well-run, perfectly located hotel for visiting Cambridge/ Harvard. The staff were all friendly and helpful - we especially appreciated the easy valet parking available 24/7, since we arrived after a long drive at 1am. The king room was a bit small but comfortable. The shower was great. The sink was in the bedroom, not the bathroom, but this worked for us since we were traveling as a couple. No breakfast, but many excellent options nearby.

This is nice if expensive boutique hotel minutes from Harvard Square with underground parking. Our room was comfortable and luxurious. There is free excellent pod coffee (not Keurig) in the lobby and they will valet your car in and out of the garage which is a good idea given then narrow spiral driveway. The location is 5 minutes from Harvard Yard and close to many restaurants. Great for a Harvard reunion.

Had a lovely stay last week for my HBS reunion. Absolutely love the atmosphere and property. Such an oasis as compared to the hustle and bustle - more like chaos! - last week in Boston. Went to another hotel for some reunion activities and it totally felt like a circus. So relieved to come back to this beautiful and calm oasis to chill and relax. Proximity to Harvard Square is unbeatable. Common area and room well maintained and tastefully appointed.

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.
