We enjoyed the comfortable room, nice breakfast and Audra at the desk,who was very helpful.Museum passes, what a nice touch! A few criticisms: The breakfast room was very cramped and we were taken aback when arriving at 9:45 pm, looking forward to wine and cheese, that yes, we could have wine but no, we stop serving cheese and crackers at... more

Thank you for taking the time to compliment our house and mention how you enjoyed the comfortable accommodations. We find that many out-of-towners are surprised at Cambridge area hotel prices, so we try to provide a great value with amenities you won't find anywhere else such as free wine & cheese on request. You can even ask to have it...

Just can't say enough about this place. Everything is first class; the facilities are immaculate, the staff is WONDERFUL, and the breakfast is delicious. The wine and cheese was great to enjoy after a long day of sight seeing. more

We stayed 2 nights while visiting New England area colleges for my son. The location is about a 5 to 7 min walk to Central "t" stop. About 15 min walk to Harvard Square. The front desk was so accomodating. Just ask for wine and cheese. Ask to borrow umbrellas. Water bottles for your use. Take a book home from... more

We really enjoyed our stay here and the only complaint I would have is that the coffee wasn't strong enough. That's pretty minor! Staff was very helpful, room was clean and comfortable, and the location is very convenient and sights and metro are within easy walking distance. more

We are so pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay with us, and took advantage of our great central location and our helpful staff. We're so sorry to hear that you did not find the coffee strong enough. Our complimentary coffee service, available all day along with tea, cake and other snacks, is made to suit most tastes. But,...

Harding House provided an excellent home base during my recent four-night stay. The Harvard St. location was convenient to both the subway and our car rental, perfect for exploring greater Boston and beyond, while the Harvard Museums and wonderful Cambridge shopping and restaurants were within easy walking distance. Free parking was available throughout our stay-another plus! The rooms were cozy... more

I stayed here in December for a few days and enjoyed my stay. It was very quiet and charming. The breakfast was good although they did not serve a hot breakfast which was disappointing. The selection of muffins and such was great, however. The coffee was okay, not hot but they have a microwave nearby. The staff was very friendly... more

I travelled a long way from Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was a very cold night when I arrived, and to my surprised the apartment was shiny, a great coffee selection was waiting for me and the entire place smelled like home. Special thanks to the house manager, Lauren and the rest of the staff. Charming people, really. more

We were travelling around Canada and arrived in Boston early, and were so lucky to get a room for 4 people at Harding House at the last minute. The moment we entered the doors, it felt like home, only that there was a cheerful receptionist who made us feel welcome immediately. We found the living area well stocked with reading... more
