We have stayed here three times, and plan to do so again, The Victorian side is our favorite, partly because of the decor of the rooms (MANY have fireplaces and canopy beds) but also because you can get to the (very cosy)downstairs breakfast room without putting on a coat! With the addition of the boiled eggs, the Continental breakfast becomes... More

We stayed in the main house and it was romantic and lovely. We took a theme room with a gushy four poster feather bed, and a crackling fire place, and crystal decanter of sherry and one of port. So relaxing! Everything was decorated to emulate the Victorian era. Loved it. Breakfast was nothing much but there are plenty of places... More

Stayed in a "contemporary" room in the main building, which was nicely decorated, clean, and quite comfortable. The bathroom had only a shower stall (not a problem for me, but might be for others expecting a soaking tub). The morning breakfast was pretty decent (continental plus boiled eggs), and they also have a tray of chocolates and other treats which... More

Decided to try a B&B instead of a hotel - this place is sort of a hybrid. Our room was spacious and clean, nice bathroom, noisy window air conditioner. Location is very convenient and the free parking is a real bonus. Front desk staff wasn't particularly welcoming or friendly and we didn't try the breakfast, but would probably stay here... More

Family recommended this B and B for our recent stay in Cambridge. The place is HUGE, consisting of the main building and an annex next door. It resembled what a Best Western would look like, if the Best Western was a B and B. Breakfast in the main house was OK, nothing special but a lot of it. There was... More

I stayed here while travelling for business when I was not able to find any hotel space. Location was great - only a 10 minute walk from the subway. And, my room was pretty, clean, and comfortable. But, the staff were not at all friendly and seemed to speak minimal English - it appeared that I was one of the... More

We stayed in the "contemporary" building next door to the Victorian House. While the room was clean it was also very small and not very charming. There was no place to put our suitcases and there were no available plugs for our use (I unplugged the tv in order to charge my computer). The room had a refrigerator and microwave,... More

We stayed in the Victorian House and enjoyed the decor and our hostess, Andrea, who gave us a good tip on a lunch place when we arrived. Our bed was beautiful but extremely high so if that is a problem for you, as for a room with a lower bed which they do have. Hot tea was available at all... More

This is a very beautiful B&B in an old house not far from Porter Square. The furnishings and interior decorating are elegant, but our room was also very comfortable. There is parking, and the hotel is a short drive from Harvard Square, and if one dares to deal with Boston drivers (I spent four years driving in Boston so I... More

Cambridge Inn is a clean, attractive, and charming place to stay. If you have a car they have parking. If not, it is a short bus ride from the Harvard Square T station. The Red Line T subway actually goes directly up Mass Avenue from Harvard Square but the Inn falls directly between two stops, Davis and Porter, and is... More
