Our sisters' weekend spent at the Hotel Veritas in Cambridge was perfect. The hotel is easy to find and has dedicated curbside parking when you arrive. (Desk staff handled the moving of our car in/out of the garage each time out of our presence, so although there is a daily parking fee, no valet tipping was required.) The receptionist immediately...

I have never been to a better hotel. Laurie and Joanie treated us incredibly well. The room was comfortable and fresh. The parking was a great amenity and really made the trip for us. Yummy snacks and drinks. Great bath products. Soft beds. A fun balcony — spring for the upgrade! Thanks, Hotel Veritas. More

After spending a wonderful Christmas eve with friends and family, we checked in at the Hotel Veritas. We were fortunate to find a parking spot directly in front of the hotel, which could be a rarity during the week. But the glow of our evening's celebration was quickly muted by a somber clerk who checked us in with little warmth... More

Thank you for staying with us over the holidays. I'm so sorry that your visit was a combination of successes and missteps. We strive to make a personal connection with each of our guests, but clearly the concierge working on Christmas Eve didn't do so - and we apologize. We're also sorry that the television and HVAC controls are a... More

I stayed here for one night before starting a course at HBS. Reception staff were absolutely lovely, from the moment I arrived until the moment I left. Queen room was lovely. A bit noisy on a Saturday night, but absolutely fine with earplugs (bay window on to Mass. Ave). I slept for 14 hours (bit jetlagged!!) so can't have been... More

I've stayed at Hotel Veritas twice and have really enjoyed it both times. The staff is exceedingly helpful and friendly. Some of the guest rooms are small, though I've not found this to be a problem. The rooms are very well appointed and comfortable. More

I spent a Thursday night here on business, and the only rooms available were on the first floor. The first room they gave me had a bay window directly on Mass Ave, which on a Thursday night gave an unacceptable level of noise and exposure to the street. I asked for another room and got the one next door, with... More

Thank you so much for staying with us. We're very pleased that you enjoyed the service and complimentary beverages during your visit. Obviously, we're disappointed that your room wasn't to your liking. You had reserved a Petite Queen, which lives up to its name a small room.

Hotel Veritas is like a cross between a B&B and a hotel. The rooms are "small" by chain hotel standards but my room was perfect for me. There various room types so I can only speak to the Queen room. Very comfortable bed, nice bath, more outlets than I have in my bedroom at home. No gym I the hotel... More

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Veritas over Christmas for three nights. We arrived in the afternoon and were checked in quickly, our room was ready and waiting.

With my trips to Boston, I have stayed at dozens of area hotels. I cycled around and enjoyed critiquing them to my friends and Twitter followers. Six months ago I tried Hotel Veritas because I heard it was a good place to sleep. It also came at a time where I had come home from Afghanistan and quality sleep was... More

I stayed at Hotel Veritas for New Year's Eve and I was very impressed with how well-run, clean, and well-designed the boutique hotel was. The room I had was small and so was my friend's, but it makes up for tiny space in the decor, the comfort of the sheets, accommodations, and proximity to everything near Cambridge. The staff were...
