Where to Stay

Harvard Square is not an inexpensive area to stay; your best bet in the area are Bed & Breakfasts.
The most convenient and easy-to-get-to neighborhoods to stay in are: Harvard Square, Porter Square, Davis Square, Central Square, Kendall Square, Inman Square or Lower Allston. We recommend the following accommodations for out-of-towners:

  • Studio Allston Hotel — A hip boutique hotel a little off the beaten path
    • 20 minute walking distance to the Brattle Theatre
    • 10 minute bus ride
    • 6 minute car ride
  • A Cambridge House Inn — A quaint B&B in nearby Porter Square (just one MBTA stop from Harvard Square)
    • 20 minute walking distance to the Brattle Theatre
    • 10 minute T or Bus ride
    • 6 minute car ride
    • Best deals are available via Booking.com
  • A Friendly Inn at Harvard — Another convenient option in Harvard Square
    • 15 minute walking distance to the Brattle Theatre
  • Irving House at Harvard — Quaint and convenient
    • 15 minute walking distance to the Brattle Theatre
  • Morrison House Bed & Breakfast — Super nice and not too far, in Davis Square
    • A 15 minute T ride away
