family style youth hostel

Liked: staff is attentive and kind
Disliked: old house + need bathroom update mattress is worn out

Good

Liked: The staff make the Irving House! From the moment I checked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, letting me grab breakfast after a red eye and leave my bag to go explore. A Irving House also made it easy to visit Boston on a budget. Located on the edge of Harvards campus, it is in a beautiful location, close to public transport and food options.
Disliked: Like many others staying this week, I experienced the unexpected hot water failure. While it was uncomfortable, I appreciated the staff?s communication and efforts to compensate (nearly 30% off per night those who chose to stay). I?d imagine this is highly unusual and was the only challenge in an otherwise lovely stay.

Superb

Liked: The hotel was good, it had parking (although kind of tight), the location was good, the staff was friendly, the value was good and in general it will be my to go place in Cambridge. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and the breakfast was pretty good. Will be back.
