Very good

Good breakfast, great, walkable area with public park and library across the street. Accepting environment and helpful, friendly staff. Easy to feel relaxed and comfortable at Irving House.
As hoped: clean, compact, and convenient to Harvard Square. Staff were efficient and friendly. My only frustration was the wifi signal, adequate in the lounge but totally useless in my own room.
The rooms are simple and there is not an elevator so you have to carry luggage up 2 or 3 flights of stairs. Excellent breakfast, snacks available which was very nice. Livingroom with an accessible computer, outside areas to sit, very accommodating, easy check in and out, great location near Harvard, shops and restaurants. Convenient to subway into Boston.

Wonderful place so clean and great location
Yummy breakfast and polite service
This facility is in an excellent location. It has much-needed parking, although not super easy to get into. It is very quiet all the time, even at meals, either no one spoke or they whispered. I had not read carefully enough to understand there are shared bathrooms. It turned out to not be an issue because there were two on my floor and I always found one open. The room was only slightly larger than my walk-in closet, I could not open both suitcases at one time, but I made it work. It has a charm, I felt safe and I enjoyed it. Breakfast was very good.
Stayed in a private room with shared bathroom - the private room was small but sufficient for a single traveller, with a desk to work at and a bed next to a window overlooking the street. The shared bathroom was never occupied when I wanted to use it. The breakfast spread was decent, and coffee was available throughout the day. Very well located as well, and good value-for-money!
