Guest reviews for Irving House At Harvard

Everyone (1)
5 out of 5
I've stayed in many guest houses with shared bathrooms basic amenities and this is one of the best. It's very clean, the staff is friendly, and the free breakfast was pretty good. They also provide free parking, which is otherwise impossible to find in the area. It's ideal for single travelers. Each floor has several bathrooms which are very, very clean. The hotel is also just a few minutes walk from Harvard Square. The room I stayed in was a bit tight and only appropriate for one person--but then, I was alone.
