“another great stay at Harding House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2010

This was my 2nd stay at Harding House while visiting my son in Cambridge. I would enthusiastically stay there again. The accommodations are just right - not overdone. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgable about things to do in Boston/Cambridge and how to get around. When I signed in I was told that my son and his girlfriend who live in Cambridge could join me for breakfast which they did, and who would not enjoy the homemade waffles and fresh fruit. We were also provided with free passes to one of the art museums. Harding House is first class in my book.

“Nice B&B for a visit to Harvard University”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

We had found this B&B on the internet, and liked it. Located with easy walking distance to Harvard University and the city of Cambridge. Downtown Boston is 2 Metro stations away. Very friendly hotel crew. Room was a bit on the small side for 3 pax, but still o.k. Great breakfast buffet. Very helpful and knowledgeable hosts, with recommendations, information and reservations if required for all local events and activities.

“A City Escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010

This is the second visit to this B&B for my wife and me. We visited last July 4th weekend as well. The location near Central Square is a short walk to both Harvard Square and the Charles River for the POPs concert. They have a lovely yard at which you can sit and sip wine under the trees. The staff was very helpful at recommending local restaurants. We had three exceptional dinners as a result. The off the street parking is welcome, as parking is especially tight in Cambridge. The breakfast buffet provided a range of hot and cold choices, including a wide range of fruit. I think we've found our perfect city escape.

“A relaxing, comfortable atmosphere with lovely, clean rooms and a first-rate staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2010

This restored 1800s home was ideal for our visit to Cambridge and downtown Boston. The decor creates an upscale, but homey feeling, with interesting details. The staff greets every question with a smile and a well-informed answer. Along with a variety of cold breakfast choices, they served a warm and original piece of bakery cooked in their kitchen. The clean and polished rooms provided plush bedding. The use of a computer and free Wi-Fi was greatly appreciated. We could truly relax here after a long day of sight-seeing. We had a wonderful stay.

“Relaxed, comfortable. Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2010

We were in Cambridge for a family wedding in June 2010. The Harding House was our home base for the week prior to the wedding. Convenient to shops, the T and the family festivities, The Harding House was a perfect respite for myself, my husband and our 4 year old son. From the free wifi to the lovely decor, along with the helpful and friendly staff we had a fantastic vacation!
