Penn’s View Hotel, Philadelphia

The property was unique and incredibly clean.

No refrigerator in y room

We love it here for a weekend in Philly. Location is good, parking right next door and rooms are big, clean and comfortable.

Sometimes street noise

Great Location - was an easy walk to downtown and historic district. Many great places to eat close by. Clean and friendly staff. Great views.

You will have to use a nearby lot if you are parking a car but that wasn't a big deal.

We appreciated the vintage charm of the hotel in general. The room was spacious, neat and clean. I appreciated having a bath tub, although there were no towel racks in the bathroom (there were 2 hooks on the door). The location was very good/walkable for accessing many of the attractions, historical sites and getting to the Hop On/Hop Off which we used for two days. The bar was very welcoming and we did attend Happy Hour for 2 of the 3 days we stayed. Alex is the epitome of a fantastic bartender and he made our time in the bar very enjoyable and fun. We loved the lemon ice water available in the lobby!

The Booking site indicated there was a safe in the room which unless it was completely hidden, there was not one. We counted on using one for the 3 days. It also indicated there was breakfast included. A small muffin and coffee does not constitute breakfast or even a continental breakfast. If there was no coffee pot in the room, not having coffee until 7:00 am. is not appreciated for either travelers or getting out to an excursion on time. The view out our room on the 4th floor was looking at brick walls. And the steps coming into the hotel which was the only way to enter, were steep. We had to lug our large suitcases/bags up them, with no offer of help. Without having a small cafe or casual restaurant on site for either breakfast or a quick snack, it was not easy to find either near the hotel without a car or being familiar with the city. The noise from the freeway was fairly constant and quite loud. I believe for about $240 per night, we could have expected a little more.

Very nice location in historic district. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very helpful with storing our luggage after checking out. They had coffee and muffins in the morning.

Good location on the edge of the historic district, a 10 min. walk to Independence Hall. Spacious room, comfortable king bed, bathroom with jacuzzi tub, very clean, quiet.

The parking situation needs to be addressed. Valet parking is the only comfortable option - at $65 overnight plus mandatory credit card “convenience” fee plus tips, it is too expensive. All that came to $90. The hotel should make an arrangement with the surface parking lot next door and the valet.

Clean, convenient location, staff wonderful, very security minded.

Nothing !!!

Hotel staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The ambience of the hotel was very warm, comforting, and felt luxurious without a luxurious price. The room was very comfortable and had a very cozy appearance.

Having to pay to park at a hotel I'm already paying for, when there's little to no other parking options felt like I was being played for more money.

So many perks, restaurant/ bar, the hotel had its own unique charm I've never experienced any where else.

I didn't stat long enough!

The area love that old fashioned feel to it

N/A

The history surrounding this hotel is astonishing. It was like "stepping into history", but with all of the modern conveniences one expects to have.

The card to enter and exit the parking garage didn't work when we tried to exit. We finally were able to get someone who knew how to open the device and get the bar to lift, allowing us to depart the parking garage.

Awesome building, great staff and good value for money. Room was the perfect mix of vintage, but clean and useable.

N/A

The staff is always amazing. The staff at the restaurant is also amazing. Very friendly and flexible. They give the guests what the guests want.

Slow elevator

Location was great. Close to many shops and eateries. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable.

No breakfast but they did have free muffins and coffee in the lobby.

I have stayed here several times and I like this hotel. Don’t miss out on the morning muffins! They are fresh and delicious!

Nothing.

Antonio is an amazing staff member

On a busy street

The interior design is beautifully curated with the Old style original architecture.

I loved everything about it

Historical, friendly professional helpful staff. Room/bed was comfortable. Great for the one night needed with last minute notice. Good value.

Could use some updating, but good for the price.

Clean, unpretentious comfort

Cozy boutique hotel with a lovely staff!

I loved everything about it!

Staff was great! Room was just right for my stay.

Better breakfast choices.

Perfect location very friendly staff. The hotel was really clean.

The room the restaurant and the staff were all great.

Cozy European style hotel, with friendly people at the front desk. The decor is Early American, appropriately. The restaurant is excellent, with an extensive list of wines.

Breakfast not available. Coffee only, and sweet rolls. The concierge got me hot water to make tea, as I always carry tea bags just in case.

Pretty good location everything was clean

Pricey for what you get, nothing wrong with the hotel, I just went the week of the marathon and prices was outrageous

The location was perfect right on Penns Landing and if you have a good view or a balcony, you can see the river.

The only complaints I have about my say is one staff staff member that ended up ruining our stay into the next night because we were in between switching rooms and they did not want to hold our luggage in the meantime. Communication was terrible due to a language barrier. It was a black female and she ended up telling us that we couldn’t book a room that night because none were available even though there were. George Roberto everyone else was exceptional and if it weren’t for her, I would write this a five stars.

Provided coffee and muffins at the front in the morning

Would have liked coffee cups in the hotel, and utensils
