Top Harvard Yard Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay, they do charge you for parking $50 a day and a transportation fee so it looks like a great deal but you need to add this to your budget. But I loved the hotel and we got upgraded to a King size bed with a view and that was amazing!! Definitely great hospitality. We had a fabulous time!"

Lark Hotels 907 Main

8/10 Good

"Hotel was easy to find but parking is an issue if you don't reserve a spot but at $50 a day. There is a nearby enclosed parking place that is a few blocks away which we paid only $13 for overnight parking. Also, the desk clerk did not provide a clear picture of what the street parking restrictions were. Beyond that, the front desk was always helpful, positive and eager to answer questions. Given this was our first time in the Cambridge area, wasn't sure of how safe it was but we found no issues, with plenty of people traffic in and around the area. The onsite photos of the rooms did not give you the sense of size/space and we were pretty cramped for two people but it was clean and manageable. The one bathroom faucet was leaking but we didn't spend a lot of time in the room to complain. All in all, would book this place again but in a larger room."

Hotel 1868

8/10 Good

"Would have appreciated a full size ironing board instead of the mini one provided as I almost burned myself three times using it as it tipped over. A small fridge and alarm clock would have been useful as we had some pastries that needed to be kept cold along with some drinks. Otherwise, we had a very nice experience. Clean, quiet and affordable. The housekeeping staff were very friendly and helpful. The valet service did a good job with my vehicle also. We will gladly return again."
