Located within a 800 metres radius of Harvard Square and Harvard University, this Cambridge inn offers free WiFi access throughout the property.

Cable TV is provided in each simply furnished guest room at A Friendly Inn at Harvard.

Like at home! Fantastic location! The owners were very nice. They don't serve breakfast but is not needed because there are many nice coffee shops very close (one is just 1 minute walking distance) and this is perfect to discover a new place every morning. Also in the hotel they have a beautiful room where you can sit and drink free coffee or tea . Our bedroom was very cozy and the building is very beautiful and well preserved. Harvard Main Square is very close, walking distance! Also Cambridge city Center with many restaurants! If you want to go to Boston city center is also very convenient because the bus stop is very close and it brings you there in about 20 minuts! 100% recommended! Good value for money!

Thank you so much!

    It is only 7 min easy walking distance to Davis Square, so it has an ideal location if you have a student at Tufts University where you can use the shuttle at no cost. You can also take the Red Line to Boston City Center. The hotel does not offer breakfast (only tea and coffee) but across the street is Pemberton Market where you can find lots of different things to eat and drink. The area is quiet and safe.

    A charming, little hotel in a Victorian house. It’s very quiet and close to Harvard square. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff, especially the lady. No breakfast, but there was tea and coffee, and a kitchen in the basement for making your own meal. Would absolutely come back. Good value.

    Location excellent for visiting family and also Harvard. We had a quiet room at the back, so away from street noise which can be irritating in the rooms on the other side of the house. The Pemberton Farms store across the road provides a great choice of food for breakfast, to eat in the communal area with tea and coffee provided in the Guest House. Staff helpful and friendly.

    Really nice hotel in a great location right opposite a train station. The room was really stylish and comfortable. The bed in particular was great and we got a good night’s sleep. Hotel was also very quiet. I read reviews saying the rooms were small, but I didn’t think so compared to the European hotels I’m used to.

    We stayed in the centre of Boston at the start of our trip and slightly further our at Porter Square at the end of our trip before flying home. Porter square was my favourite as it was cheaper, opposite an excellent thai restaurant and quieter too. Lovely room and location very close to a metro stop to get you easily into the centre of the city.
