My search for a reasonably priced room within walking distance of Harvard led me to the Irving House. I went through its website to reserve a room with a private bath for a four-night stay. I'm not...

I stayed at this B&B for a week in May during a visit to Harvard. The location was ideal for my needs, just a five-minute walk from the science buildings at the university. Harvard Square is also a...

My husband and I enjoyed our four-night stay at the beautiful Irving House B&B in Cambridge, MA. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was beautiful (we loved the skylight) with plenty of...

I just returned from an overnight trip to Cambridge, where I lived for 4 years in the early 80s. Like most people whose memories of Harvard Square date from before the upscale invasion that began...

We expected Irving House to be a nice, clean, cozy B&B. It was all that and even better! My wife and I had a room with a queen bed and a private bath. Both the bedroom and bath were larger than we...

I booked this place for my mother. The rooms were clean and the location suited us: however the service is terrible. She is 60 years old, her room was on the fourth floor and she had a large suitcase....

The problems encountered by this guest are not typical of our hospitality, as is clear by other reviews. We are very clear when we make reservations that we have rooms on four floors and we have no...

Quiet, Friendly and Close to Harvard

Perhaps not quite the charm of its sister facility, the Harding House, but altogether a very nice B&B. Comfy beds, wireless Internet in your room, a warm and cozy feeling to the breakfast which...

Despite being a little over-priced (I paid $110 for a single room), the Irving House is lovely - the type of accommodation that is all-too-rare in the United States. I found the House spotlessly clean...
