“Home away from home”

2/2 found this review helpful

Despite being a little over-priced (I paid $110 for a single room), the Irving House is lovely - the type of accommodation that is all-too-rare in the United States. 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 drinks and cookies and cakes are available all day.

There is a nice laundry for guests to use ($1.25 to wash, $0.75 to dry).

On the down side, the walls in some rooms (mine at least) are very thin - I could literally hear someone breathing in the next room.

The location is great for anyone visiting Harvard Square.

“Great Harvard Square B&B”

3/3 found this review helpful

I LOVE this B&B. It is on a great, tree lined street that is a short walk (5-10 minutes) from the heart of Harvard Square ... the employees are friendly, the house is beautiful and breakfast, though not fancy, is wonderful and complete with several different newspapers to read. In the summer, there is a large porch for sitting, sipping coffee and reading the Globe. It is my home away from home.

“a bit of dormitory nostalgia in a b&B”

Irving House

1 Jun 2004
12/18 found this review helpful

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). I did sign up for shared bath. But I did not expect that I would have only a sliver of space to change between the door and the shower curtain or that I would have to wait a long while for the water to go down the sink-drain in the neighboring water-closet. Breakfast was okay.
