Top Harvard Yard Hotel Reviews

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, modern hotel in a convenient and safe location. The triple room was exactly what we needed in Boston! The room layout makes great use of the smaller space and has everything you need. Our room had an amazing view of Boston as well. The bathrooms down the hall were always clean and fully stocked. We arrived early in the morning after a train from Portland and were able to check in as soon as we arrived, which was a wonderful surprise! Highly recommend this hotel — I’ll definitely be back!"

The Atlas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional service at the Atlas Hotel Very clean facilities with service oriented staff members who are always willing to help and they go the extra mile to get things done. Particularly thanks to Damion for the quick check in process and the very nice gift left in my room upon arrival. Very thoughtful gesture. The Coop store in the hotel has the most beautiful items. The Atlas is a must visit hotel. And did I mention that it is just right across from the Harvard Business School."

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exceptional except for the parking. I would defintely stay here again but if you do, expect drive down a service ramp and have to call the front desk to let you into a garage below. When coming back out, you need to call someone to let you out and the drive up the ramp. Its a bit risky because you are inverted and cant see oncoming traffic before you turn on the street."
