Top Harvard Yard Hotel Reviews

Studio Allston Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Personal muy amable y esmerado. Habitación impecable. El area deel desayuno un poco apretada, entiendo que la parte externa estaba cerrada por la lluvia. Desayuno para sacar de apuro."

The Atlas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The most impactful asset of this hotel is the staff. They were extremely accommodating and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. As a new hotel, they have a few tweaks to make: for example, it would be helpful to have a copy of the room service menu in each room. Based on the excellence of the staff, though, I am confident they will work out these minor issues."

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Boston - Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"There for World Cup excitement and hotel was full of kilts. Brilliant hotel with spacious rooms. Because we were travelling from city to city we didn’t want to empty cases and there was plenty of room for two open cases in the rooms and it didn’t impact the space at all. They were also so helpful when I left behind some of our possessions when we had to leave in a hurry. What a difference these things make, very helpful and pleasant staff. Wish all hotels were like this one. Thanks Carol"
