Hotels Near Harvard University in Cambridge

Very good location and friendly staff. Bed is average comfort. Room was clean. This is where the positives end. There is very little protection from sound. I was up all night both nights hearing doors slam inside (particularly the very heavy door to the stairs that was near my room) and vehicles outside. Pack very good earplugs if you come. The hotel has zero food service. No breakfast, no bar, nowhere (bar, etc) to unwind after a day of work. WiFi was spotty and cut out on me during video calls, so don't plan on working from the room. Overall, I would have preferred to have a worse location but a nicer hotel. Boston is pretty small and Harvard Sq is only a 15 minute Uber to almost anywhere in the city. The good location here wasn't worth the negatives.

The front desk was very nice and friendly. The hotel is in a great location

Hotel location is very good, close to Harvard University, less than 10 minutes walk, there are many restaurants nearby, very convenient, the hotel's service is not bad. The only dissatisfaction is that the room is too small and the bed is small, only Full Size.

I had the privilege to stay at the Commander every other week for 8 months due to business. This property is a treasure in Cambridge. Exclusively located right on Cambridge common, this hotel is a 10-20 minute walk from Museums, Harvard Campus, Harvard square and dozens of restaurants and shopping. The second you arrive the character is apparent, from the front visage modeled after Mount Vernon, a bronze statue of the Commander himself, and stunning ornate ceilings in the lobby. The rooms are well appointed and full of character. Built in the 1920's, it was originally an apartment building and hotel rooms, which does leave each room to be slightly different. You never know quite what you're going to get in the rooms. But you can count on comfortable beds, great closet space, and stellar service. The front desk is kind and always go above and beyond, Kaitlyn, Jose, and the rest of the front desk crew are always ready to greet you with a smile. Johannes at the concierge desk is a delight and ready to help. The hotel is connected to a nice restaurant, Nubar, which also serves as the breakfast buffet location. Breakfast is not free, but if you have Marriott Titanium and above you do get vouchers. The wait staff in the morning are wonderful, although I can't recall everyone's name, I had a great pleasure getting to know Claudia. The Commander truly became a home away from home. I hope to visit again soon!

More like a family hotel, the design of the house is very characteristic, very warm, the room is small, breakfast is very close to Harvard, can walk, but the parking space is very small, we went late, parked in a parking space Location, I originally wanted to park the hotel the next morning, go to Harvard, but the hotel said that the location of our car is not good, we have to leave when we check out. As a result, we are looking for parking lots everywhere. It is very expensive and the parking fee is very expensive. I went to live in the parking lot and said that it was not good to park near Harvard. In the end, I was looking for a parking lot everywhere. It took time and money, and the hotel price was not high.

This is a very nice place. The neighborhood is good and quiet. It is a 7-minute walk to the Central T subway station. That station is one block either way from MIT/Kendall or Harvard Square. It is otherwise 15 or 20 minutes walk to MIT, for example. The room was good, with air conditioner and fan. WiFi worked very well and they had a good desk. Hosts are very nice as well. There is no breakfast, but they do leave out fruit and there is a kitchen. Overall, a nice stay.

The hotel is very comfortable, clean and quiet! The blue carpet, the interior color is gentle, and the water temperature is not suitable. The little brother came to help adjust it. He told me that this is the second most comfortable hotel in Boston, and I believe it! The night shift service at the front desk is called Sam. He is very nice. He will help you with any questions. If you have a language barrier, he will find a way to use a computer to translate. Will book again next time!

This hotel is in a great location, Safe and busy... My wife and I went to a concert at the Crystal Ballroom last week and this hotel was 0.6 miles away. Cannons and Madi Sipes. An easy walk. Check-in was quick and friendly. Parking is by valet, $28/day plus tip. The room was small, but extremely comfortable. The shower had a large head that dropped straight down rather than from an angle. The bed was very comfortable too. Checkout is at noon as well. Not 10 AM like most hotels. We were also allowed to leave my truck in the garage after checkout. We walked the 1 mile to the Harvard campus and left around 2 PM.

Due to the change of travel plan, before leaving, I hurried to Trip.com to find hotels near the destination and chose No. 907 Songdel Main Street, which is both distance and cost-effective. The room is in a good location, complete facilities, easy to use, wifi is unblocked, and the stay is very comfortable.

This is a nice hotel in the heart of Cambridge within walking distance of the T and several eating establishments. It has the feel of a slightly upscale hotel without the attitude of one. Everything is clean and well-maintained. The wifi signal in the room was strong. The staff was very helpful in giving us information about the area and one gentleman even explained to me how to purchase a T ticket. On our first night, we returned from Fenway Park in a rainstorm in need of a late meal. The bartender, despite working alone, was able to serve lots of people in a timely and courteous manner, and the steak sandwich I had was delicious. The hotel price was reasonable; the parking price was expensive, though that's probably the norm in the Boston area. The one thing missing would be a store with late-night snacks (candy, chips, etc.). Otherwise, I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to the area.
