Our room at A Cambridge House was just what we expected. We were in the Porter Room in the Victorian house. The room is small with a high canopy bed and a gas fireplace which we used for a little while. If you are planning to read in bed, the lamps do not throw much light. My Kindle has a... More

The Cambridge House was our last B and B on our honeymoon. While it wasn't our favorite it was certainly nice. The only 'issues' we had were that it felt very tight, rather unfriendly comparatively, and our room was very dark even with all of the lights on. These weren't big issues and no one was rude, just busy. Granted,... More

We headed up to Boston to attend a wedding on Columbus Day Weekend. Not wanting to spend $$$$ for two rooms, two nights, we searched for a reasonable alternative. We found the Cambridge House on-line and couldn't have been happier. The owners were very helpful. It was close to the 'T' (the Red Line-10 minute walk). They included a fine... More

Stayed in a Victorian room on 1st floor of main house on a Wed and Thur. Very enjoyable stay. B&B staff are very nice and accomodating. Had and shared local knowledge freely. Continental breakfast was good, but nothing to rave about. It was well-presented and plenty of seats. The Inn has plenty of parking off the busy Mass Ave. The... More

I might have lost valuables in this hotel, which I hope is only an isolated case. But please let me know if this is not. This is my worst ever experience with a hotel: telephone was hung up twice when I simply asked about policy regarding lost valuables. Anyone has similar experience with "A Cambridge House B & B Inn"?... More

Comfortable, well-appointed rooms. Good breakfast, welcoming staff. Only problem was that in the awful heatwave, the air conditionner blew directly on the bed. Easy access to bus and the T. More

This is my 4th stay at this B&B. If you don't need a gourmet breakfast, this is an ideal B&B. The staff is friendly. The rooms are clean. The air conditioner worked great. (We didn't use the fireplace. But in the winter, I have.) There is free access to a computer in the living room, where I was able to... More

Although not very typically B&B-like, this is a very cozy property with clean, spacious rooms. I stayed in one of the "Contemporary Rooms," which is actually in an adjacent townhouse. The room has a comfortable bed and a very effective and quiet air conditioner. I'd consider the amenities more like those of a typical hotel, though, and not really a... More

Got a wonderfully large room in the new annex. It had a great window seating looking out over Massachusetts Avenue. Unfortunately, this also meant that there was a fair amount of traffic noise although it didn't keep us awake. More
