Hotel Veritas

Everything is what we expected. Nice room, everything very clean, and helpful staff. In addition, the location of the hotel is very convenient, within walking distance to Harvard Square and a few bus stops to MIT. I will repeat!

Generally a good option, good location, well maintained, some decent communal space. Small rooms, no coffee service in room.

Street-front noise can get loud.

Great hotel in a Victorian building just a couple blocks from Harvard Square. We had a quick overnight but would definitely stay here again.

👌

Our stay could not have been better. Located close to Harvard and the river with their own parking garage is incredible. The hotel is beautifully well appointed and the staff professional. We will happily return for our next visit in the Boston area.

Perfect stay

great stay

Staff were very nice and helpful. Room was spotless and had everything we needed

The front desk staff were so friendly and really made us feel welcome. The hotel was so pretty inside and out and was just steps from great restaurants, Harvard and the T. We will definitely be back.

No balcony, no fridge, but well-located

Some of the Front desk staff are very nice, some barely acknowledge your existence. Some of the housekeeping staff are very friendly and some just barge in the room despite that you have the "quiet please" sign on the door hours before regular check-out time.

The bathroom had pieces of a towel rack that might have broken years ago and was never replaced. The hotel appears to be dated with some need for repainting, resiliconing of the shower area, and replacement of items that look in disrepair (towel racks) or are already very dated (e.g. hair dryer). It is not luxurious, but it doesn't claim to be. My window led to the dark back of the building. Nothing interesting to see there, just an old aisle. I checked in at the same time with 2 other people. Strangely, neither of them were asked to pay for the eventualities charge. I was. It would have been $50 with a credit card. My international card didn't work in their premises, so they charged me $100 in cash, instead. This money is refundable, but it was not announced anywhere in the Expedia site when I booked it. The General Manager explained the situation, and my $100 were returned the day after. My room smelled of burgers, although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant. Ideal for someone who isn't fuzzed about those details, but I wouldn't have chosen it for a longer stay.

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.

I loved this hotel. Our stay was for two nights. My one pain point was the noise made by the cleaners early in the morning. It was at times before 8am and the walls felt thin enough that it was disruptive to anyone sleeping in. We also had two knocks on our door on the morning of check-out well before check-out time and while we had the "Quiet Please" sign still up. Everyone was kind when we told them we hadn't yet checked out but it seemed there may have been miscommunication there. We would likely stay again but would probably make sure to understand the morning cleaning schedule and ask for a room accordingly.

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.

Staff was super helpful, we were Loving my daughter in for graduate school, they helped us with some logistics. Also the staff held a valuable for me till my daughter could come and get it so we could make our flight home. She retrieved the valuable I can not express how much I appreciate the trustworthiness of the staff and them going above and beyond.

Excellent location, luxurious but small rooms. Helpful staff and great coffee bar in lobby.

Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff.

Free valet parking
