Amory Place

I stayed at The Amory Guest House in October 2016 and I was amazed by how clean everything was. The beds are really comfortable too I believe they have memory foam mattresses. The location is perfect just a few blocks from the subway Central Square a few minutes from Boston and right between Harvard and MIT.||They have lots of bathrooms and they are very clean. They also offer free breakfast and their kitchen is available for the guests to use. I was really happy to be able to play the piano from the living room. I totally recommend it and I surely will come back.

Our room was on the first floor and had no screen on the window. The room was hot and stuffy and we couldn't leave the window open as it had no screen and was right on the sidewalk. When I opened the front door to get some air, we received a chastising telephone call. Apparently, the invisible staff monitored the camera; they were never seen in person.||||As elders, the bathroom on our floor was important. But there was no shower or tub. The half bath did not appear to have been cleaned during our four day stay.||||Two lights were burnt out in our room and two of the three lights in the TV room were broken.||||The kitchen was dirty.

I came into Cambridge for a conference. I found the Amory to be an excellent fit for my needs. It is very well organized and maintained. The room was clean, quite and comfortable. The common spaces were in the New England tradition comfortable and unpretentious. I've already booked a return stay.

I stayed in the Amory Guest House in Nov 2017. Positive: the bed was really nice, and the location was (for me) just perfect, right in between MIT and Harvard. However, I find it heavily overpriced for what you get: it really is just a bed, as it has ahead bathrooms, and there is no staff available. It turned out I could not close the door of my room (literally, not that the door didn't lock, it didn't even close, unless someone would push it from the other side, i.e. the hallway) and despite frequent communication with the owner, there was clearly no sense of urgency to actually fix it. And indeed, it didn't get fixed and communication was unsatisfactory to say the least.

We loved the beautiful home, hard-wood floors and natural-light-filled rooms. Very quiet street, but great location within walking distance of Cambridge, Somerville, grocery stores and lots of restaurants. Nice park across street for young children. Beautiful dining room and kitchen available to all guests. Clean bathrooms (powder-room/toilet in bedroom, but bathroom with shower shared per floor), well air-conditioned, owners were very responsive by text. Excellent wifi connection throughout property and living room has TV with Netflix and cable. Owners provide eggs, wheat bread and spices for guests to prepare breakfast on their own. ||Our only complaint was the use of "plug-in" air fresheners, which make it very difficult to breathe for folks with respiratory problems/allergies/asth
