My single room was cozy and comfortable, and the shared bathrooms were incredibly clean. The breakfast was impressive, and very good. It was also a very convenient location for me, within easy walking distance to lots of nice restaurants, shops, and, of course, all of Harvard University. It was easy to find and walk to from the T stop, also! I highly recommend this to anyone traveling to the Cambridge/Harvard area looking for a charming experience at an affordable rate.

Cathy Franich I recently stayed at Irving House in Cambridge, Boston and it was most enjoyable. The staff were wonderful and went out of thir way to assist in whatever way they could. Irving House is just a nice distance from Boston City and so accessible to the T. The breakfast was fantastic and I didn't want for anything, and the breakfast staff were so friendly. When I go back to Boston I will definitely be staying at Irving House. Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful stay...

I stayed at this beautiful little place while taking classes at Cambridge College, terrific continental breakfast, 4 Seasons service, quiet, the only place I would stay in Harvard square

Irving House is full of charm and warmth and coziness. Attention to detail reveals itself in all places from food that is local, organic and most importantly — delicious, to various pictures and quotations carefully chosen and hung in the rooms and hallways. I have both borrowed and added to the collection of books in each room. Irving House has the feel of an old and large family home to which one returns with anticipation.

A group of us stayed for New Year celebrations at the Ellis Paul concerts at Club Passim, Harvard and this B+B looked after us so very well. Location is great for Harvard Sq, rooms are warm and cosy and the service is excellent. Great continental, self-service breakfasts with free teas/coffees available until 10pm daily. Our second time at Irving House and we will be back!

For a mid-January 2009 2 night stay I picked the Irving House in Cambridge because ofits central location to: Boston and Medford. I wasvery happy, in fact elated, on the overall helpful service and dwelling!

This was my third visit to the Irving House over the New Year's Eve holiday. A group of music-connected riends from around the world (literally) have gathered for 3 years in a row to attend concerts at Club Passim. The Irving House is the perfect location - within walking of the Club and subway stop - thus eliminating the need to rent a car. The rooms are clean, staff friendly, courteous and helpful, common area lovely. Many amenities, including the most wonderful breakfast selection/area. In addtion, the Innkeeper has allowed out little group of friends to use the breakfast area for an evening gathering. There's nearly 'round the clock access to hot drinks and cookies/cake. It really is like a home away from home.

I had reserved the room for First Night while I was here in Boston. I had a nice full sized bed with a private bath, which I hadn't expected, but was glad I had. I have stayed there before, and I will most certainly come back again.

Great location, close to the subway system, & Harvard Square. Rooms are clean, but not too big. House is comfortable and they have nice common areas. The common fridge was small but nice. I would definately recommend it to anyone who wants a nice clean place to sleep and easy accessability to Boston and attractions.
