It is an old country apartment located on campus. The reception is friendly. The breakfast is very good. There are snacks in the afternoon. The room is a bit cold. The waiter provided a small electric heater.

I stayed for two nights. Every morning they turned off the heating. I woke up with cold and had to call before they turned it on. I strongly do not recommend staying here. With this price plus tax, you can stay in a 3-star hotel in Manhattan.

Pleasantly satisfied with the Irving House. The vibe of the place truly matches with my poetic whims. My quaint room was sufficient for me. Shared toilet and bath was clean and accessible. The cleaning lady does a wonderful job. Although my usual Filipino breakfast comes with rice and meat, I truly enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. I love the coffee and cookie! What a treat. Congrats to the kitchen team. I love the gentle knick-knacks at the reception and the chill approach of the team. The gardener does a great job with the flora and fauna. The place looks like a scene from a gentle poem. The owner/s truly have defined the narrative for the place that the teams have embrace wholeheartedly. I will return. Lastly, I love it that I can directly book through their website.
