Located within a 2625 feet radius of Harvard Square and Harvard University, this Cambridge inn offers free WiFi access throughout the property.

Location was great, as it is a short walk to Harvard Square and public transport. The reservation indicated a continental breakfast, though this was just coffee/tea. Room was fine, though a bit cramped.

Located 5 minutes’ walk from Symphony Hall, this Boston guest house features shared outdoor terraces. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is 1 mile away.

Great location for the price. Loved how quaint it was. The breakfast options were limited but good! Loved the fresh fruit!!! Rooms got a little toasty at night & when opening the windows the street noise was a little loud & “colorful.”

Located 2 mi from JFK Presidential Library & Museum, Boston Lodge and Suites features a tennis court and free WiFi.

There was plenty of space for 2 adults and a teenager, we even get a bed to ourselves each. All the amenities of home and yet close to everything we needed to do in Boston. Walgreens was super close if you forget essentials or even medicines. We walked to several eating places also. Would love to stay here again if ever I find myself in Boston again, thank you very much!

Spacious master bedroom and bath is located in Wellesley, just 11 miles from Boston Museum of Fine Arts and 11 miles from Fenway Park.

The place was great, very clean, comfortable and homey and the hosts had excellent communication with us. They and the place were perfect.

Tranquil House In Cambridge in Cambridge provides accommodations with a terrace and a shared lounge. This guest house offers free private parking, a shared kitchen, and free Wifi.

at first i didn’t like that the place didn’t match the pictures but the bed was amazingly comfortable. pillows as well and there were extras. good quality cotton sheets, not cheap synthetic. mark was also very kind and helpful. he helped with checkin and the door when i couldn’t open it. it was mostly very clean. our room and bathroom were very clean. upstairs (3rd floor ) common area was cute but a little empty. a few plants or decorations could go a long way. i was worried about the temperature with only a lighter quilt but it was perfect actually. the blanket was very nice. (please consider a top sheet.) bedroom doors lock. on site and street parking.

Brand New Luxury Rooms near downtown Boston features a hot tub and free private parking, and is within 2.4 miles of Boston Museum of Fine Arts and 2.7 miles of Back Bay.

Absolutely lovely owners! Prompt response, clear directions, and very comfortable room. The entire facility felt very professionally designed. Kitchen was accessible and easy to use. Bathrooms were clean and had HOT water available, and each room had very professional keypads on each door so there was never concern about entering into a wrong room. Room was also very conveniently located to a bus stop that brings you into the city. God bless these owners and wishing many blessings their way.

    It is only 7 min easy walking distance to Davis Square, so it has an ideal location if you have a student at Tufts University where you can use the shuttle at no cost. You can also take the Red Line to Boston City Center. The hotel does not offer breakfast (only tea and coffee) but across the street is Pemberton Market where you can find lots of different things to eat and drink. The area is quiet and safe.

    A charming, little hotel in a Victorian house. It’s very quiet and close to Harvard square. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff, especially the lady. No breakfast, but there was tea and coffee, and a kitchen in the basement for making your own meal. Would absolutely come back. Good value.

    Location excellent for visiting family and also Harvard. We had a quiet room at the back, so away from street noise which can be irritating in the rooms on the other side of the house. The Pemberton Farms store across the road provides a great choice of food for breakfast, to eat in the communal area with tea and coffee provided in the Guest House. Staff helpful and friendly.

    Iris is very caring and accomodating host. Perfect location if you want to visit Harvard, MIT or Cambridge area. Close to grocery shops, foods and public transport yet still in a quiet neighborhood.

    Really nice hotel in a great location right opposite a train station. The room was really stylish and comfortable. The bed in particular was great and we got a good night’s sleep. Hotel was also very quiet. I read reviews saying the rooms were small, but I didn’t think so compared to the European hotels I’m used to.
