Very nice and convenient location close to Harvard Square. Compared to most other Hotels we have stayed while at Harvard, this one is probably the best. Great Service and a Staff that takes care of you. However, for the price (and I have to accept the that graduation week leads to profit maximization in all Cambridge Hotels) the room was... More

The hotel was very nicely decorated (someone has an eye for details! The textured wallpaper was beautiful) and the room was bright and cozy. A bit on the small side, but the large balcony with comfortable chairs made us quickly forget the room size! The staff was friendly and the business room on the ground floor was a cozy (and... More

This two-year hotel offers impeccable and friendly service in a well-located boutique hotel near Harvard Square. The staff bends over backwards to take care of your every need (Nespresso machine and all types of non-alcoholic beverages are free in the lobby) and one feels truly looked after. Having said that, there is no restaurant, there is a bar service in... More

We've stayed in Boston several times and just happened to discover Hotel Veritas over in Cambridge. My wife ran this year's Boston Marathon and we wanted to be in a quiet neighborhood outside the busy downtown area. What a wonderful boutique hotel, conveniently located and beautifully decorated. We were a very short walk to the many fantastic restaurants around Harvard... More

The independent unassuming boutique hotel is not for everyone. The rooms are on the small side (the queen room - best for 1 person, the king - no more than 2 people (not for adding small children), we did not see the suite), but beautifully appointed and very comfortable. In winter, the heated bathroom floors is a lovely treat! The... More

Thank you for your wonderful review of Hotel Veritas. We couldn't agree with you more that we're "not for everyone." Our small rooms certainly don't appeal to everyone. We're glad that you enjoyed many of the complimentary amenities which are included in the rate (coffees, sodas, water, juices, and tortas) - as well as access to the Gym at Karma... More

The Hotel Veritas was as nice as promised by the reviews of other Trip Advisor guests. Requests were honored where possible and not feasible, a clear explanation was provided by the management. Great location was the perfect launch pad for college tours at MIT and Harvard. The Hotel Veritas even provided a discount for those touring Harvard. Once stepping into... More

I spent two nights at the Hotel Veritas and was very impressed. I usually end up staying in larger chain hotels (Marriott, etc.) but decided to give a smaller independent hotel a shot. It was definitely worth it. My only knock against the Hotel Veritas is that everything about it is small. The lobby/check in area are quite compact, as... More
