My stay was very nice. The room was comfortable, wifi was fast, and the hotel is directly across the street from the Porter Square T station. No complaints here, especially considering the incredible value compared to similar nearby properties. Staying at the Porter Square Hotel is a no brainer.

Comfortable hotel. Clean and with all the basics that you need. Rooms are super spacious. It is well located for when I travel for business and near Cambridge Street with a lot of restaurants and services. It’s well located to access the city center from there too.
I will definitively stay here again!

Friendly and flexible staff except in the Japanese Steakhouse where they were cold. The hotel staff promptly moved me from a room in the pot-smelling 14th floor to a smoke-free top floor when I complained about the smell. Good location.

Cambridge is a great place for sightseeing and history.
Cambridge is a great place for sightseeing and history. My son graduated from Harvard University and the city has rich spots for viewing in conjunction with the university. The Coop has all of the Harvard gear and gifts to take back to family, as well as the Harvard Store. We ate at Tatte, a nice breakfast and coffee restaurant. Uber is easy as well as short walks around the squares. Cambridge is a beautiful city and I can't wait to visit again.

Stayed in Cambridge to attend a graduation at Boston University. We were just close enough for it to be a very short drive, but did not have to immediately deal with school traffic. There were many stores and restaurants nearby, with good access to major roads to simplify travel.

Cambridge is beautiful, a fascinating place, but we were running around for several work events and didn't see much. VERY congested, so we relied on Lyfts to get around. But, so much to see, packed with beautiful historic architecture. Lots of trendy food places (often a little strange).

Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk around. The streets are clean, the parks are beautifully maintained and there is stunning historic architecture, as well as quaint shops and eateries everywhere. We particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful Memorial Hall. It's a pity visitors can't look inside, into the Annenberg Hall dining area, but we appreciate that the Harvard students may not like an audience whilst eating : ). The Harvard University of Natural History is fantastic and the Glass Flowers exhibit is a must-see! Being a rower, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful Weld Boathouse and Newell Boathouse and watching crews row up and down the Charles River. If you love books, The COOP bookstore is well worth a visit and if you enjoy ice-cream, I would highly recommend getting a Taiyaki (Japanese ice-cream) from Taiyaki NYC in Church Street. The ramen at Boston Ramen at 24 Holyoke Street was delicious and I would highly recommend grabbing a waffle and coffee from the food truck parked in the Harvard Science Center Plaza. If you're going into Boston, I would highly recommend the Boston Tea Party Ships and museum experience (an excellent interactive, re enactment experience), having a ride on the beautiful Greenway Carousel and walking through the Boston Common, seeing the 'Make way for ducks' statue and, for the 'Cheers' tv series fans, visiting the Cheers bar.

Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff.
Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff. Booked in advance, was quoted $186 tax included. But, at check-in I was notified that it cost $25 per day, per parking spot and a $75 fee that would be returned (5 to 7 days) after checkout. Plus they wanted $20 per person for breakfast. Total: $326 for 2 people for one night. Nice place, but won't spend that to stay there again.

It's in a good location for Cambridge, and even not far from Boston amenities. It is NOT right near Harvard campus, though, if that's what you're looking for ... but not far.
The facility is fine - an inn, not a hotel, but with room amenities of a hotel.
The rooms were well appointed and clean. The addition of a cafe table and window nook seating was useful. The hotel is well located with walking access to MIT and walking/bus/T/car access to Harvard. It was very easy to find metered street parking, and you do not pay between about 6 pm and 8 am. Download the Cambridge parking app, and you can add two hours on your street parking as soon as you wake up. There are three or four bakeries within a three-block walk for morning breakfast, including a Japanese bakery inside the H Mart.
The Victorian room was exceptionally beautiful. The Inn was mesmerizing and memorable, please take the time to look through the entire hotel and at the various old fashion photos they have. I traveled for a weekend class through the Harvard Extensive School and the Harvard campus is close by. I had a fantastic time going to The Burren, a quaint Irish pub nearby. If you are visiting MA, do so in style at the Cambridge House Inn.
I loved this hotel especially because of its location so near Harvard University, and the bounteous coffee machine choices in the lobby. The staff was very kind and even helped me switch rooms at one point because of a phone issue, and they were always very friendly. They also provided me with some refrigerator space for some leftovers that I had from one night of dining. Great place to spend a couple of nights.
The location - near Harvard - was super. I stayed a couple of nights while using Harvard's library and it was perfect. Like the ability to make coffee or tea in a little shared kitchen area. Hosts were good about where the small nearby grocery was, and there was a small fridge in my room. There's also a Starbucks nearby. Friendly place - reminds me of British b&b's.
The location in Cambridge was great. We could walk to great restaurants and also about 10 minutes to get to the closest train station. Getting in and our of Boston was a breeze using mass transit. We also liked that there was parking on site, or next door. If all else failed, there was also easy street parking.
Everything! The room was nice and clean, well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The location is also good, it’s close to the metro stop and near by there are many restaurants and supermarkets. Iris is a great host, I will totally come back here if I pass by Boston/Cambridge again.
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room. I liked the complimentary bottles of water and the coffee in the room. I also much appreciated that I was able to print some documents for my travel in the hotel and store my luggage after check out.
Location, location, location - this hotel was ideal for a weekend spent wandering Boston/Cambridge. The rooms were comfortable, and staff worked with me to ensure there was no febreze used in cleaning prior to check-in.
This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel. Rooms are tiny, but if it's just 1 or 2 people, it's fine. Totally clean, comfortable, etc. Restaurants/shopping/grocery store/T stop are all really nearby.
The location was great for going to Boston only thing we found was no places to eat nearby. The food in the hotel is very limited. The rooms are beautiful and updated with various technology
This hotel is a little gem, hidden almost within Harvard university grounds. The size of the room was the best, along with the quiet and nicely decorated lobby.
