Offering a vending machine and a lift, Harvard Square Hotel Cambridge is nestled 6 minutes on foot from the lively Cambridge Brattle Square and only 0.6 km from the landscaped John F. Kennedy Park. Featuring 73 rooms with views of the pool, the hotel is 10 minutes' drive from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Location

Located within 6 km of Back Bay railway station, this 3-star hotel stands a stone's throw from the triangular plaza "Harvard Square". The Harvard Square is also about a 5-minute walk from Charles River.

The baseball stadium "Fenway Park" is also situated 3.2 km away.

This property is within 5 minutes' walk of Harvard Square underground station and just around the corner from 16 Eliot St bus stop.

Rooms

Some rooms have individual climate control, an iron and ironing board, as well as high-speed internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels for your convenience. Also, they feature marble flooring. The private bathrooms are fitted with dressing gowns and shower caps.

Eat & Drink

Guests can dine at the restaurant Orinoco, which is around 200 metres away.

“What strikes me most is the hotel's position at the heart of Harvard Square; you're steps away from the university and its vibrant surroundings. The recent renovations seem to have paid off, creating a fresh, modern feel throughout. For anyone seeking good value without sacrificing comfort and location, this should be a top consideration.”
