Stayed at The Harding House in Cambridge over the weekend and it was snowing... Very convenient to all shops, restaurants and Harvard Square. The Staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very aware from my reservation of food allergies and acknowledged the same when I checked in. Read their website for all their important details and amenities. I personally... More

The perfect size B & B. Small enough to offer individual attention, large enough that you feel like you have plenty of room and privacy. The 3 story beautiful house is a comfortable and clean place to rest and relax. Conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and Harvard Square. Super easy to see the city from this destination. The room we... More

We were visiting our son, daughter in law and grandkids who just moved to Boston from SoCal, and Harding House happened to be just a 3 minute walk from their new home in Cambridge. So the convenient location pretty much dictated our choice. I prefer the anonymity of hotels to the intimacy of B&B's. However, I would stay here again... More

We stayed here only one night but it was a great experience. To start off, we had cancelled our room as we had been downtown and wanted to stay there due to logistics but we had to find new lodgiings. All the hotels were filled however and when we asked if we could stay the one night in any case,... More

For the past 3 years, I've stayed at the Harding House the weekend of the Boston Marathon. The front desk service was very friendly and welcoming, giving me maps and directions, preparing cheese and crackers when I had a friend visit, and assembling a bag of food for me to take along to the start of the race. The rooms... More

They offered help, tour coupons, maps, and even umbrellas. The breakfast was great and the dining room always accessible for snacks and tea. I would recommend The... More

My partner and I stayed with our two children (ages 9 and 10) while in town for the Boston Marathon. For us, it was pretty much ideal: 1. Spotless, spacious room on the top floor with two twin beds (day bed & trundle) and a queen; 2. convenient to the T and several cafes and restaurants (including Ethiopian, our favorite)... More
