Great location near Harvard Square. Easy access to the T. Friendly staff, homey atmosphere. Decent breakfast and delicious cookies to pick up at the door on the way inside!

Came back from a concert after 11:30 pm, and there were apples and cookies to snack on. Big plus! Breakfast was nice, the baby quiches were delicious.

Breakfast was superb. The staff was very friendly. The location was perfect.

The cozy room and comfy bed, and breakfast in the morning. Location was excellent!

excellent location, staff are very friendly and breakfast is very good. it has gluten free options.

I have always stayed at Irving House when I travel to Cambridge. I like its location, in a residential neighborhood within walking distance to Harvard Square and the Harvard Art Museums. It's old school bread-and-Breakfast inn, which adds to its charm. The staff is always friendly and helpful, the clientele is generally academic or folks visiting Harvard, it has a nice university community feel.

Affordable and a great location - under 10 minutes to the Harvard T stop. Breakfast was included, which you don't find in most Boston area hotels. Also, it was quiet at night and the cleaning staff cleaned the room every day of my stay.

Honestly, this place surprised me. And I literally never write reviews. But I have to say… expectations were low given the 2 star review. But the price was right and the parking was free. Staff is super sweet! And its a super clean place too. Harvard Square is walkable (a huge reason I chose the location). There is a great breakfast in the morning at the property. Or you can grab coffee/breakfast at a perfect cafe around the corner. All-around GREAT place to stay if you’re visiting Cambridge.

The parking was difficult after heavy snow. We had to get up very early in the morning to send our son to airport and need an easy-out parking spot. The hotel helped us, and we are grateful. The breakfast was wonderful.

Great comfort, warm and cosy. Excellent location. Booked this accomodation last minute as our previous booking in another premises was cancelled when we arrived to Boston.
