Top Harvard Art Museums Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Common House

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place and very close to Harvard. Highly recommended."

The Atlas Hotel Boston Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable, clean and well appointed. Roof top bar has amazing views of Harvard, Business school and athletics in particular. The location is walkable but particularly quick to the Paulson engineering building, HBS and athletics. It’s about 10 minutes from the main Harvard square. The only downside during our stay was the on site restaurant. It had a limited breakfast menu and the buffet wasn’t executed well at all considering the property. Great stay and has likely become our go to hotel when visiting Harvard."
