A Friendly Inn at Harvard

Location was superior and perfect for Harvard access.

Its very good value! I had a large room in this old house converted into an inn. Very comfortable room with great character. Very comfortable bed and super clean.

Furniture was quite old.

Extremely lovely staff, very clean room, very quiet and a bit quirky, which I loved. Parking right outside the hotel. It was great and a VERY short walk to Harvard Square and the T stop. Excellent location. Recommend !!!! The carpets could use a little upgrade. That’s it! The staff was especially friendly and helpful.

Lovely inn a short walk from Harvard and the T. Fantastic bakery just two blocks away for breakfast. Short walk to any number of restaurants. Exceptional value for the area. Not fancy, a little worn at the edges but for us that was part of the charm. Upper levels accessible only by stairs. Parking available on a first come, first served basis. Appreciated a iron to go to a event wrinkle free and a small refrigerator in room to keep water cool during hot weather.

This was my second stay at A Friendly Inn. It is a great alternative to chain hotels when in Cambridge. The building is old and funky, but comfortable. I like the fact that each room is different and has some real character. It's an easy walk to Harvard Square and the T. There is no breakfast available, but there is a coffee machine in one of the common areas. The inn is on a busy street, and if street noise bothers you, you should definitely request a room on the back side of the building. The only other negative is that the lighting in our room was insufficient - no overhead light, and a reading light on only one side of the bed. Two reading lights seems like a minimum requirement to me.

Room was clean and easily accessible Could use some updating. Fells a bit tawdry, although just fine as a solo traaveller with a great location for a reunion.

Great location, nice staff. Quaint building. Cleanliness: dust on shelves, hair on bathroom floor, and debris stuck to bathroom walls. Beds were extremely thin. Shades cannot block out street lights if you want the AC on, so it’s pretty bright inside.

Clean crisp linens comfortable mattress. Location

It looks like they used to have breakfast before 2020. I wish that was still available.

Its location! Tiny shower

it is in a great location and it's relatively clean it's basically like you're staying in someone's extra room that they don't use. Very basic. I can't believe I spent $280 for this room.

Good location! Nice staff!

location accommodation is ok, but bare bones (furniture etc)

1. One morning there was no hot water. 2. I arrived early and they made me drop my luggage in a storage room that wasn't locked, anyone could come in and take my bag. I was nervous about it. In the end nothing happened.

Good location Nothing in particular

On site parking was great It was our mistake but we didn’t realize how far away it was from where we were spending time so we did a lot of driving

Staff were very friendly!

Lovely people, perfect location, charming interior with all that you need provided and surprisingly quiet!

Location was very good for our purposes. Also included parking was very good. The place was like an older B&B, but with a bathroom in the room. All good and expected. Carpeting was very dated, though all clean. No smells, no noise ( except nearby firehouse).
