    A bit expensive for me (around 300 USD for a night), but Boston is crazy that way... There was no cheese for breakfast, which I found unusual.

    Excellent room, cosy place, the owner was an animagus and turned into a chubby cat to prowl around - I loved it. Very home-like.

    Awesome continental breakfast with plenty of choices of breads, cereals, including a different homemade quick bread each day with awesome fresh fruit salad, hard boiled eggs, and yogurt. Loved having French press coffee. The innkeepers were available but gave us our space. We shared a bathroom with one other person which wasn’t an inconvenience at all. Very comfortable bed. Great location close to the subway into downtown.

    It’s a house, so naturally you can hear footsteps upstairs if you’re staying in the downstairs room and people walking up and down the stairs.

    The Morrison House is a beautiful old place, I felt at home there. We had access to a deck outside and we could not ask for a better location.

    It was slightly noisy as you could hear other guest moving throughout the house, eating breakfast and phones/doorbell ringing at odd hours.

    The staff were wonderful and provided suggestions and assistance with travel advice. The breakfast provided was lovely, coffee/tea available any time. Location was close to the T subway for transportation into Boston. The room was spacious for my family of four.

    A bit pricey, but this is Cambridge...

    This bed and breakfast is great! Very cozy and with a nostalgic vibe. The room was spacious and comfortable and had everything I needed in it. It really felt like the hosts had thought of all the tiny details. The location is great, 1 min away from the T and davis square. The hosts were attentive and helpful. Breakfast is nice with a big variety and consideration of food restrictions. Highly recommend!

    I thought it was a great stay, the cat was adorable. Very clean! It was ideal for me since my only requirement was to be close to the T for ease of travel.

    The location was really amazing, it was very close to the red-line and easily accessible. There were a lot of great restaurants nearby, convenience stores and shops too! Overall it was a great stay.

    It was a little tight for 4 people in one room but we appreciate the availability of beds and we were happy to pay for only one room.

    We had an excellent stay! The check in was smooth and the place was quaint and functional. The breakfast and daily baked goods were an excellent touch. The bathroom and shower pressure were great. A short walk (5 min or less) to the T. Some good restaurants and bars in the area but the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed chatting with the other guests over breakfast and it was clear some kept coming back to the same B&B and it was clear why! Would definitely come back. Thanks!

    Nothing really. The whole experience was excellent and we are planning to come again when we return to Boston.

    The do-it-yourself continental breakfast was excellent. With cereal, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, toast and jam, and brewed coffee it was great But also the freshly baked cake-type treats were wonderful. Clearly, Morrison House has staked its reputation on spectacular breakfasts. The room was spacious, clean and serviced daily.

    Price seemed high, given very small room and shared bathroom. There was perhaps an over-reliance on notices stuck to the walls, as I saw little of the hosts. Breakfast was only between 8am and 9am, though in practice it was possible to go down a little earlier; a hot option would have been good too.

    The best thing was the location, just 3 or 4 minutes' walk from the Davis MBTA station, with good transport links into Boston. Local area had plenty of places to eat and good information about them was provided in the room. The room itself was a small single, but it was well equipped with a microwave and fridge, a desk and chair. Air conditioning was working well during very hot weather. Breakfast was good, though entirely self-service. Hosts had clearly given a lot of thought to guests' possible needs and things were well laid out and organised throughout the property, with a lot of information labels (possibly too many).

    While the hostess was pleasant and welcoming, the host was a lot less so, didn't even introduce himself as he came in and out during breakfast. While French presses are charming, a Keurig would have been a lot more convenient.

    I loved the old house itself and it was in a convenient neighborhood in walking distance to the downtown and train station. It was air conditioned and comfortable on the hottest days of the year thus far. You could have eaten off the beautiful wood floors, it was so clean.

    Everything was great.

    The hotel is in a house which is run by a family. The rooms are spacious and you can feel that host though about all details, near the bed, is USB chargers and British outlets. Breakfast is served in the kitchen and it's quite interesting to sit down at one table with other guests. The hotel has an easy lock system which is based on your mobile number, the metro station is just around the corner which gives easy access to the city center, as well square near the hotel has pubs and restaurants. The surroundings are silent and calm.
