Top Harvard Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great location, very central to the things we wanted to do while in Boston. The main common areas were clean. Our room was clean and comfortable. Staff were professional, friendly and helpful with our questions. A few suggestions to make future experiences better.... 1 - The lobby was overly crowded with tables and chairs. It made the check in area and accessing the front desk difficult. Just clearing the one row in front of the front desk would have made a big difference. 2 - Although it was great the hotel accepts pets, having a small on-site area to take the dogs to relieve themselves would have been a bonus. 3 - Ice buckets in the room with disposable cups other than coffee cups would have been a nice to have. 4 - The room had a mini fridge, but no microwave. Adding a microwave would be a great addition. Overall great stay and would stay there again!"

Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville

10/10 Excellent

"Magnifique!! Tout était parfait !! Le personnel, la propreté la proximité les chambre impeccable très pratique lit confortable salle de bain très bien équipé digne d’un grand hôtel !! Nous sommes arrivés à 12h et notre chambre était déjà prête ! Sur place un valet pour le stationnement ainsi que nos bagages !! Je recommande sans hésité"

Harvard Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking is $50 total and is very convenient and has in/out privileges. The elevator is quite small and slow but it does its job but we did tend to use the stairways going down since it was faster. The hotel’s greatest asset is its location. Harvard University is one block away. There are tons of restaurants and shopping right downstairs. The trees in the square in front of the hotel twinkles at night with lights. Outside, There is music, dancing and tons of sitting areas to people watch. The hotel room has a small fridge and the bathroom is quite small. My bathroom door opens with less than an inch leeway to the toilet and the toilet paper is literally right next to the toilet with you needing to move sideways to unroll some. The shower’s pressure is quite barely enough. Overall, I would still recommend this place due to its proximity to every thing. 9.5/10 location. 6.6/10 “fancy” rating. It’s a no frills hotel with excellent location if Harvard Square is where you want to be. Walking distance to most buildings of Harvard University. Approximately 8 minutes slow walk to Harvard undergraduate admissions with a optional pit stop at Dunkin Donuts."
