Top Harvard Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Easy parking access. Helpful staff. Would stay here again."

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"After a long day of travel, it was nice to have a friendly and quick check in. We got the room type that we had requested, a great view of Boston! Every staff member we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We did have breakfast each morning during our stay. Food was good. We did decide to have a drink at the bar one night, drinks and service were both excellent. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and would stay again!"

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."
