Diverse and friendly staff
The central air conditioning was freezing. The room was very small. If you really need to stay right at Harvard it might make sense, but otherwise not a great stay
Location was perfect, near Harvard Square and Harvard Museums. On a relatively quiet weekend, there was plenty of on site parking. Room was small but comfortable. Towels needed upgrade.
The property was in a nice area. I thought it was a bit outdated. Restrooms and shower areas needed updating. My room was fine, although small. I was fine with that. The breakfast was ok, it was the same thing every morning. The staff was really good and friendly.
I didn't eat breakfast there, so no comment on the food. It's a short walk from the Harvard metro & one of the bus routes is around the corner. The room was small compared to a typical hotel chain, but offers the same: bed, desk, bathroom, lounge, wifi.
Check-in was fast, easy and even though I arrived long before check-in time, the room was cleaned and ready to go! Awesome!! Would definitely stay again.
I never stayed there. False advertisement. They never mentioned that I would have to share a bathroom with strangers. If I knew I would’ve never book the hotel. I’ve been trying to speak with someone regarding this issue because I need ny money back.
Super friendly. Casual. Great location
Staff was helpful and accommodating. Breakfast choices were substantial. The

We are sorry you did not find Irving House to your liking. The AC is adjustable in each room by adjusting the vent over the door. Our rooms are priced by size of room and size of bed. If you had wanted a larger room, you could have paid more for that, closer to the comparable rates in the Harvard Square area.

Sorry we never had the opportunity to serve you. We have all kinds of room types, many with private baths. Sharing a bathroom while traveling is not for everyone but it can be an economical way to stay close to Harvard Sq at a lower rate.

thank you!
