Recently stayed at the Lotus Place guest house for a short course I was taking at Harvard. The innkeeper/host seemed to also be a fellow student around the area and was very pleasant and helped me settle in and answered most of my questions around the area. My room, although a little smaller to my liking. was very clean and... More

Although their web site claims "Newly renovated (2006), Lotus Place is a luxurious and modern B&B located in the heart of Cambridge", it was far from luxorious. While the main living-dining-kitchen space was kept vacuumed, and the bedroom was clean and comfortable, the en suite bathroom was not clean! We arrived late in the evening and were greeted by the...

My partner and I stayed at Lotus Place for 2 nights. We are seasoned travelers and often stay in many kinds of lodgings. We booked this place after the wonderful Irving House at Harvard, where we stay very often, was fully booked. The website was nice enough and we were engaged professionally through telephone and email when we booked our... More

Lotus Place is truly an amazing value and I am very happy I found this place. I was visiting some friends in Cambridge and they recommended this particular inn. I reserved the Lotus room but upon checking in, the host informed me that they had upgraded me to their Signature room based on some scheduling reason or something. The room... More

My wife and I stayed here for three days in June visiting our grandchild. Most of the previous reviews are accurate. Our room was clean and pleasant, but small. It was in the rear, so noise was not a problem, although the whole place shook when a bus or heavy truck went by. There was a shade missing from one... More

Last year we stayed at another B&B with a host who not only talked nonstop but was also omnipresent and very opinionated and eccentric. My husband flatly refused to return (this host served burned chocolate chip cookies each morning at breakfast and each morning seemed surprised to note that, once again, they were burned. He then attempted to engage the... More

I recently stayed at the Lotus Place and found it delightful. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. It isn't your typical bed and breakfast because you don't really get breakfast served the way you might expect. It just sits in the fridge and you make it when you want to eat. I'm more use to eating at a... More

Being somewhat wary after reading the reviews, the Lotus Place was just fine. It is not a typical lace-and-frills bed and breakfast, but certainly comfortable, clean and adequate. Everything in the bedroom, sitting area and kitchen is fairly new, and all in good working order. The main difference between the Lotus Place and a typical B&B is that you’re pretty... More

This was a parents weekend, so availability was limited. This is a lovely place - our room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The bedroom has hardwood floors, a good hanging closet, but minimal (2 small) drawers for shirts, underwear, ect., so we worked out of our suitcases for four days. That was ok. Where we had a problem was... More
