Lovely place to stay in Cambridge. So much nicer than a hotel. Great value with a good breakfast and friendly staff. Would recommend it to anyone! more

I stayed here in December for a few days and enjoyed my stay. It was very quiet and charming. The breakfast was good although they did not serve a hot breakfast which was disappointing. The selection of muffins and such was great, however. The coffee was okay, not hot but they have a microwave nearby. The staff was very friendly... more

I travelled a long way from Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was a very cold night when I arrived, and to my surprised the apartment was shiny, a great coffee selection was waiting for me and the entire place smelled like home. Special thanks to the house manager, Lauren and the rest of the staff. Charming people, really. more

We were travelling around Canada and arrived in Boston early, and were so lucky to get a room for 4 people at Harding House at the last minute. The moment we entered the doors, it felt like home, only that there was a cheerful receptionist who made us feel welcome immediately. We found the living area well stocked with reading... more

Ignore the two bad reviews! first of all, this is a lovely Cambridge neighborhood, at least if you are walking towards Harvard Square, or up to Inman Square (I gather it is a little dicier if you walk towards Kendall Square on Cambridge St.), and both Central Square and Inman Square have great neighborhood restaurants and bars. The accommodations are... more

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast. Harding House combines the best of both worlds: a staffed reception desk as in a small hotel with a B&B-style casual dining area for breakfast and afternoon snacks. Our room and bath were modern-comfortable while the dining and living rooms were retro-comfortable (1950s overstuffed couch and chairs, etc.) The Harding House is close... more

I love Harding House. I've stayed here 3 times so far for about a week at a time as my office is nearby, so it works for me practically. Fair enough, it's not right in Harvard Sq, but it's a pleasant 15-20 minute walk up there, and if you want a handful of useful shops or the T, Central Sq... more

A great B&B

This is a great B&B: excellent location, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean & comfortable rooms and all at a price well below what one could pay for a hotel in the Cambridge/Boston area. The location is close to Central station on the Boston subway, about 5 minutes walk (10 with bags), and also very close to some great bars and... more

I was a bit late getting a room for MIT parent's weekend and wound up booking one here, since all the other hotels in the vicinity were either booked or wanted 400+ dollars a night. I was pleasantly surprised. The location wasn't bad, about a 20-25 minute walk to the MIT student center, and a five-minute walk to the Central... more
