The Hotel Veritas is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Harvard Square. It is in an extremely walkable location with easy access to the red line subway straight into Boston. I felt safe and extremely at-home staying there. I would have lived a full-length mirror and recycling bin in the room.

I love this place! Loved the renovated spaces and very clean and comfortable. I would give 5 stars if I did not have WiFi in the room issues Which made it very inconvenient. The staff strikes everything but was not resolved it before I checked out. The most upsetting is that I wrote them an email and no one responded even today almost a week after I checked out. I followed up my email and still waiting for their response about the compensation.

Treasure in Cambridge

This is one of the cutest boutique hotels I’ve ever been to and the front desk, staff in the morning, during the day, and late at night we’re all equally stellar. The grab and go water, the wonderful assortment of hot teas, and the fancy Nespresso machine was an added bonus. The next time I’m in Boston, I will absolutely stay here again.

Loved that they provided free water and nespresso in the lobby. Would be ideal if there was a fridge in the room. But overall was a pleasant stay.

Location is very good and convenient. 3/4 minutes walk from the Harvard university, and have nice staffs. Water and tea/ coffee available all the time at free of cost. I loved this place because my son is staying 1 minute away from the hotel.

Walking Distance to Harvard University, Harvard Square, shopping stores, and restaurants. Very clean and spacious. The receptionist guy (I forgot his name) let us park in front of the hotel spot to go and eat breakfast nearby. Receptionist Madie and friendly guy (I forgot his name) were very helpful and accommodating. What I didn't like? No parking. Hotel park house is under renovation. We paid almost $100 for one-day parking at Harvard Parking Garage. I booked this VIP Access hotel, but I didn't get any credit except for free water, tea or coffee at the reception which is for all guests.

We were in room 304. It is very small and no shelves on which to unpack. We had to work out of our suitcases. Also, there was insufficient hot water for showers. The room is so small there was nowhere to sit except on the bed or one seat at a desk. EXCELLLENT LOCATON to Harvard Square and surrounding.
