We stayed in the Irving House for six nights and were totally satisfied. The place is a large house that has been converted into a homey property. I can't really call it a B&B, at least as I understand B&Bs, but more of a house hotel and a very nice one at that. Our room was en suite -- large,... More

If you're looking for lodging near Harvard Square, it's hard to imagine a better choice than Irving House. We expected a charming B&B at a reasonable price, and they certainly delivered that. Positive surprises beyond the usual included: wide variety of healthy home-made breakfast choices, delicious coffee, snacks all day (until 10pm) including fruit and great cookies, free off-street parking,...

I stayed in The Irving House in Decermber as a few friends were staying there too. It was a good value for the location, but my room was a bit small, (a twin up against the wall) and had to share a bathroom which I am not a big fan of. But this was the only room that was available.... More

The Irving House really embodies the definition of hospitality and home-from-home. It was such a joy to stay there. Highlights included: - I stayed here for business but during my birthday. When Rachel, the manager, found out that it was my birthday, she gave me a room discount, a gift bag with local goodies in it, and giftcards to local... More

The irving house is a clean affordable place to stay, without pretention. The old house is well maintain and the staff is very helpfull. You wont be having breakfast made by the owners, its not that sort of B&B, it is probably more an Inn then a B&B. No fancy Breakfast, but we did not felt the need to get... More

This was our first visit to Irving House and we were booked for 5 nights. We agree with many of the positive comments about this inn: location, parking though very tight, wi-fi, cleanliness, friendly staff, guest refrigerator, and breakfasts (which were o.k. but not outstanding.) Our primary complaint was the heating. We stayed in room 403, and noticed the warmth... More

I've stayed at Irving House many many times over the past five years. I keep coming back because it is comfortable, the staff are great warm friendly people, it's far cheaper than any other place in that area, it offers a wonderful breakfast spread, offstreet parking is included, and the location is perfect. There's a lunch shop (Darwin's) just around... More

We spent 4 great days here. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the room huge and comfortable. Breakfast amazing!!! Hot drinks and sweets all afternoon. The family room fit 2 adults and 2 teens. We will be back! More

I found Irving House through the internet one month before my travel dates and it was just as I had expected. Nice, cozy, homey and in very close proximity to Harvard University. The room on the third floor (305) was rather small but I did not feel claustrophobic at all. It had 3 nice, large windows, a desk, private bath,... More
