Top Harvard Yard Hotel Reviews

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very nice and new. The decor was lovely and conducive to getting work done. The staff was outstanding --kind, friendly, informative and extremely helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and will stay the again on my next trip to the Cambridge/Boston area."

Studio Allston Hotel

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay. I was in town for a work trip. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, the staff was incredibly nice. The breakfast was decent. The building is fairly old, and as such, things break or don't always work properly but none of that detracted from my stay. I'd happily stay here again."

"Great staff, great stay! Perfect location to walk around Harvard and explore the area."
