Pleasantly satisfied with the Irving House. The vibe of the place truly matches with my poetic whims. My quaint room was sufficient for me. Shared toilet and bath was clean and accessible. The cleaning lady does a wonderful job. Although my …

I booked a double room with a private ensuite shower room for my stay during the Boston Marathon. The location is very convenient for getting to Harvard Square for shops and places to eat, as well as the red line T station. Although the room was small,...Read More

My room was smaller than expected and a little warm, but the bed was extremely comfortable. And I had to share a bathroom, but it was always immaculate. I also never had to wait to use it, nor was anyone knocking on the door while...Read More

Terrific little place. Warm, friendly and cozy. European in flavor. Attractive rooms. Tasty breakfast with many options. Very nice staff. Well situated to Harvard. Perfect for a solo female traveler. Parking provided but is challenging.

First, this is not a three star hotel by any stretch. But that’s OK, it’s very good at being what it is – a comfortably shabby boarding house/graduate club. Great location, easy walking distance to everything at Harvard. We stayed three nights for a Harvard...Read More

I stayed at IH for 3 nights, while attending a conference at Harvard. The location is excellent: IH is 5 minutes on foot from the edge of the Harvard campus, and 8 minutes from Harvard square. The staff was also quite nice. At the same time, I...Read More

This is not a hotel, this is a home. The front desk is always available and helpful. Super comfy beds. Close to bike share for easy transport across Harvard, Lesley and MIT campuses! Can highly recommend.

Very nice room. Shared bathrooms are clean and not busy. Breakfast selections are great with eggs, pastries, cheeses, fruits, and so on. Location is great. Right next to Cambridge Library. Parking lot is tight. A bit hard to maneuver there.

I wanted to share with you how moved and grateful I am to the Irving House at Harvard. The front desk and manager were incredibly kind and gracious when my husband became ill with the flu. Thank you all for making a difficult time much...Read More

Literally in the middle of the greater H Campus. I asked for a room in the Second Floor with a window and got what I requested. It feels like a Bed and Breakfast and is clean. Eclectic decor. Breakfast is adequate...Read More

I was in Boston taking a family member to the emergency room and ended up needing to stay overnight. Irving House had a lovely B&B room (with bathroom) at a reasonable rate compared to everywhere else. The house is quiet, easy going with …

A lovely place for anyone looking to tour colleges or visit students in the area! We stayed the week of Independence Day to tour Harvard nearby and everything was just right. Staff were attentive and very friendly, and Irving House just has …

This place is so close to Harvard and the people who work here are so lovely.|The rooms are small and the bathrooms are shared (which I did not personally love).|It is so quiet, the creaking floors sound obnoxious at night, but only because …

My husband and I stayed here for Boston Marathon weekend. It was in a quieter part of the city, which was nice for an introvert like me. Bring steps away from Harvard's campus is really cool as well! Getting to downtown Boston is simple …

I was looking for a simple place to stay for two nights near Harvard, and you cannot get any closer than this quaint bed and breakfast. Service was excellent. Upon check in we were happy to take any room, but the front desk insisted to...Read More
