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 had expected. We had ample room to spread out our luggage, a nice desk at which to work,... more

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. A young man sitting at the front desk refused to help her carry it to her room, so it had to... more

Irving House is a convenient and inexpensive alternative when visiting Harvard. The rooms can be quite small and at the low end (singles without a bath) it is often just a single bed and small desk.

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 includes both plain and flavored yogurt and some healthy cereals in addition to a nice selection of pastry type items, a good selection of teas, newspapers... more

I found the House spotlessly clean - the cleaners do a great job - and a comfortable, and relaxing place to spend time. The continental breakfasts are great, and complimentary hot... more

I LOVE this B&B.

In the summer, there is a large porch for sitting, sipping... more

This is a quaint, clean and friendly staffed b&b on a quiet street in walking distance from Harvard Yard. You really do feel like you're back in college. The rooms are very small and the walls are thin. There was no TV in the room, but a lot of used paperback books in there for entertainment (which I found refreshing).... more
