Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Though our Bed and Breakfast has been newly renovated, we think of the Whitman House as an established Cambridge residence, inn, and guesthouse. We are a 15 minute walk from both Harvard and MIT, or a 3 minute walk to the Central Square Red Line subway which gets you to the heart of either in one stop and the Heart of Boston in three. We have been personally involved in community affairs for over 26 years and glad to be your conduit to the cities of Boston and Cambridge. Beginning with no taxes, free off street parking on site, wireless internet, private bathrooms, and a flexible breakfast schedule; there is nothing you could need that isn't approachable in one way or another. This is a beautiful place that we wish you to enjoy, share and experience to its fullest as you conduct your stay. Please see the rest of our site for the full picture. Then be sure to Call Us Directly or email for any questions, comments, requests and bookings. Thank you and Enjoy! ... more less

“A wonderful place in the midst of joy and sorrow”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

We returned to our friends David and Robert at Whitman House when we came to watch our son run his first Boston Marathon. Thankfully, we exited the Marathon finish area before the tragic explosions. Whitman House continues to be a place of wonderful hospitality and stimulating conversations. On this trip it was also a place of peace and strength in... More

“Comfort and Charm”

Reviewed 11 October 2012

The 1836 vintage restoration is fab! So beautiful and affordable! A short walk to the T station through a lovely neighborhood. Two stops to Beacon Hill. We walked to Harvard. Super location. The well-stocked kitchen is yours for whatever breakfast you desire. Robert and David are great hosts.This will be our lodging for future trips to Boston.

“Whitman House central place to discover Boston”

Reviewed 3 October 2012

The house has a great central location to dicover Boston, just a five minute walk to the T (3-4 Stops to downtown Boston or Harvard). The house is located in the middle of Cambridge with plenty of shops, bars and grocery stores within walking distance. The room was clean and big enough for two,private bath was not en suite (which... More

We are answering this review because it is misleading. Regarding bathrooms, we occasionally go into bathrooms to fix equipment, check heating/cooling, clean, replace linens and this is the only reason a guest would find that someone had 'used' a bathroom barring an emergency or someone breaking the rules. Regarding breakfast, preparing breakfast for guests in a bed and breakfast home... More

The Whitman house is a wonderful place to stay during your visit in Boston. The owners, David and Robert, welcome you into you their home as if you were family. The place is immaculately clean and the architecture (designed by the owners) is amazing! The house is a few blocks from Mass Ave and the T, plus there is parking... More

“Great place to stay in Cambridge”

Reviewed 17 June 2012

I spent two nights at Whitman House and found the owners friendly and accommodating. They even let my local friend park her car in the back so we could take public transportation to the Fine Arts Museum. The atmosphere was easygoing, as though staying at a friend's or relative's home, the location great for my needs, and the rates reasonable... More

As soon as I stepped through the door of the Whitman House, I felt like I had just arrived at my best friends beautifully renovated home, and was thrilled to have the opportunity to stay for a visit.

“Fantastic place”

Reviewed 17 January 2012

One of the statements in the guestbook hits really close to the mark. "Whitman House is not like staying with friends, it IS staying with friends!" Whitman House was recommended to us by a friend in the area. The house interior is very neat and tidy, and the rooms are spotless. The main lounge area is spacious yet cozy, and... More
