Top Harvard Science Center Hotel Reviews

The Atlas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have never been so moved to write such a glowing review. This hotel is possibly the best place I’ve ever stayed. I’ve been to larger places and fancier places (Ritz, 4Seasons, etc), but the Atlas beats them all - why? The. Staff. They are the friendliest, most welcoming, enjoyable group of hosts I have ever encountered. They made me feel like one of the family, and made The Atlas feel like home. This was true of the front desk, the valets, security, maintenance, the barista, literally everyone. Other great things: the lobby has exactly the right energy to be productive but calm. The 6th floor outdoor terrace - O.M.G. I worked with my laptop (they have plugs and seating) from there with gorgeous views of Boston and glorious weather (okay, I can’t credit The Atlas for the weather). Foxglove nightclub on the top floor - fabulous. Seriously, stay here. Seriously, cancel your other reservations and stay here. Cliche as it is, I have but one complaint - that I couldn’t stay longer."

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and staff was very helpful"

Courtyard by Marriott Boston-Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel"

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful building and beautiful room. We loved all the little touches, the seating area outdoors, the fancy versions of games, the marketplace of snacks, everything was very clean and worked well. The basement parking, while limited, was glorious! So easy to run to the car for something. This may have been my favorite part. We slept great, the bed was comfortable, the shower was perfect, it was a suite with a dishwasher and everything so we had all that we needed. Walking distance to a gas station, easy Uber pickup and food delivery. Would certainly stay again."
