    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Steep stairs prove troublesome for some.

    Built in the 1890s and set over four floors, Irving House at Harvard is an older property without an elevator. As such, accessing rooms on the upper floors may be difficult for those with mobility issues.

    negative:

    Some rooms are small and cramped.

    Several guests have found their accommodations to be on the small side, reporting that cramped rooms have little space to store luggage and spread out. Reports would indicate that the guesthouse's single rooms are the small rooms in question, with many other rooms said to offer more space.

    negative:

    Shared bathroom doesn't appeal to all.

    Some of the B&B's guestrooms require guests to use a shared bathroom, located across the hall. This set-up does not prove popular with all visitors. If you're not the type of travelers that wants to use shared facilities, the guesthouse does offer rooms with a private bathroom.
