How much does a budget hotel in Harvard cost?

Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Harvard is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Harvard, Massachusetts, focusing your search on areas just outside the immediate university vicinity, such as Cambridgeport or North Cambridge, generally yields more affordable hotel options. While Harvard Square itself is vibrant and convenient, it tends to be pricier due to its prime location and popularity.

Cambridgeport, situated south of Harvard Square, offers a quieter residential feel with good access to public transport, including bus routes that connect directly to the university area. You'll find a mix of smaller hotels and guesthouses here, often at a lower rate than those closer to the main campus. It's also very walkable, with local cafes and shops providing a more authentic neighbourhood experience.

Alternatively, North Cambridge, located further north from Harvard Square, provides an even greater likelihood of finding cheaper hotel rooms. This area is well-served by the MBTA Red Line, making the short journey to Harvard Square and central Boston straightforward. Solo travellers will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and the presence of local eateries that cater to a student budget.
