Very quaint hotel. Rooms are very small but is to be expected with this property.
Some of the Front desk staff are very nice, some barely acknowledge your existence.
Some of the housekeeping staff are very friendly and some just barge in the room despite that you have the \"quiet please\" sign on the door hours before regular check-out time.

Just fine for a very short stay. Basic ammenities, and super close to Harvard Square.
The bathroom had pieces of a towel rack that might have broken years ago and was never replaced.
The hotel appears to be dated with some need for repainting, resiliconing of the shower area, and replacement of items that look in disrepair (towel racks) or are already very dated (e.g. hair dryer). It is not luxurious, but it doesn't claim to be.
My window led to the dark back of the building. Nothing interesting to see there, just an old aisle.
I checked in at the same time with 2 other people. Strangely, neither of them were asked to pay for the eventualities charge. I was. It would have been $50 with a credit card. My international card didn't work in their premises, so they charged me $100 in cash, instead. This money is refundable, but it was not announced anywhere in the Expedia site when I booked it. The General Manager explained the situation, and my $100 were returned the day after.
My room smelled of burgers, although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant.
Ideal for someone who isn't fuzzed about those details, but I wouldn't have chosen it for a longer stay.

We had a lovely experience at the Hotel Veritas and will definitely return. The hotel was stylish and clean, the lobby elegant but modern. Cold waters and Nespresso coffee machines are available off the lobby, and there is a small parking garage beneath the building, which they will valet for you. The manager was super professional and accommodating, and we had a great experience from top to bottom. The location near Harvard Square was perfect, and you can reach all sorts of things to eat, see, and do, with just a short walk.

I loved this hotel. Our stay was for two nights. My one pain point was the noise made by the cleaners early in the morning. It was at times before 8am and the walls felt thin enough that it was disruptive to anyone sleeping in. We also had two knocks on our door on the morning of check-out well before check-out time and while we had the \"Quiet Please\" sign still up. Everyone was kind when we told them we hadn't yet checked out but it seemed there may have been miscommunication there. We would likely stay again but would probably make sure to understand the morning cleaning schedule and ask for a room accordingly.

Clean, well-run, perfectly located hotel for visiting Cambridge/ Harvard. The staff were all friendly and helpful - we especially appreciated the easy valet parking available 24/7, since we arrived after a long drive at 1am. The king room was a bit small but comfortable. The shower was great. The sink was in the bedroom, not the bathroom, but this worked for us since we were traveling as a couple. No breakfast, but many excellent options nearby.

Hotel Veritas has several things going for it: It's a great location if you are visiting Harvard for business or want the be a tourist in Cambridge. It's located just outside of Harvard Square on Mass Ave. towards Central Square, Rooms are extremely clean, modern and bright. Air conditioning and hot water are plentiful and there is a small patio where you can sit and enjoy the free coffee and tea provided in the lobby. However, for me the negatives are more significant. The regular sized rooms are tiny. Basically you just have room to walk around the bed. No chair or desk, so if you want to work you have to sit on the bed and hold your computer in your lap. WIFI was slow and inconsistent. Some of the desk staff are very helpful and friendly, others are not, so your experience will depend on who is working. My ground floor room had loud noise and vibration from the subway trains under Mass Ave and some noise from the hotel elevator. That kind of noise isn't something that ear-plugs help with, and the subway runs till very late and starts very early so, at minimum, if noise bothers you, stay in a room on a high floor.

Had a lovely stay last week for my HBS reunion. Absolutely love the atmosphere and property. Such an oasis as compared to the hustle and bustle - more like chaos! - last week in Boston. Went to another hotel for some reunion activities and it totally felt like a circus. So relieved to come back to this beautiful and calm oasis to chill and relax. Proximity to Harvard Square is unbeatable. Common area and room well maintained and tastefully appointed.

There is free excellent pod coffee (not Keurig) in the lobby and they will valet your car in and out of the garage which is a good idea given then narrow spiral driveway. The location is 5 minutes from Harvard Yard and close to many restaurants. Great for a Harvard reunion.

We had a very good experience. A great location two blocks from Harvard Yard. A nice, tidy building with smallish rooms but everything is pleasant. The young staff seem to all do a dozen different jobs and they really aim to please. We had a toilet tank that needed minor repair because it kept running and the front desk clerk came up to fix it. The bottled water and individually-brewed coffee were great to have at any time of day or night. Some nice lounging areas with comfortable furniture where guests can visit with each other. The parking garage was a great convenience as we had a car.

Great concierge and front desk service! I was given such a beautifully furnished and well-cleaned room. Not a lot of space, but no need for a single occupant. I liked having access to the self-service espresso bar downstairs. They just need to offer more than oat milk as an alternative. Great price, wish I was staying here for Harvard Graduation. It does get loud with student nightlife during the weekends, due to proximity to Harvard Square.

Too bad, this could have been a pretty good experience with just a little professional customer service. I chose this hotel because it gives Hotel.com platinum member free parking. When I arrived I was told the parking garage was full. Ok, many questions there as the hotel was not full . But instead of offering to park me somewhere else or at least offer to pay for street parking I was told sorry you will have to find another place to park. It’s a nice hotel , well maintained, most staff are very professional and friendly but unfortunately this encounter was unexpected and disappointing to say the least.

Hotel Veritas is a quaint boutique spot perfectly located in Cambridge. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a nice touch to have complimentary cold water bottles and coffee available. The shower had great water pressure, and everything was clean and well-kept. It wasn’t the quietest — we could occasionally hear people in the hallway — but there wasn’t much noise overall, and it didn’t bother us as heavy sleepers. All in all, a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

Which made it very inconvenient. The staff strikes everything but was not resolved it before I checked out. The most upsetting is that I wrote them an email and no one responded even today almost a week after I checked out. I followed up my email and still waiting for their response about the compensation.
