Guest Ratings & Reviews
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were perfect with attached kitchen facilities, ideal for our needs. I enjoyed preparing our next morning's breakfast while admiring the stunning Philadelphia skyline from our own private terrace. The service was exceptional, and we were even welcomed with a refreshing drink. The location was lovely, in a safe residential area where it felt comfortable to stroll around even at night. The dining experience, including delightful desserts, was a definite highlight. Overall, a fabulous place to stay with great value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with our own private terrace overlooking the Philadelphia skyline. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the service top-notch, and the neighborhood charming. The included dining had delicious tandoori dishes; however, some facilities were lacking.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with an excellent view of the Philadelphia skyline from our private terrace. The room was not only spacious but also had kitchen facilities and a relaxing jacuzzi. The service was top-notch, and I even received a delightful welcome drink. The location in the charming old Italian neighborhood of Bella Vista was picturesque and safe to explore at night. However, the dining experience could have been improved with more diverse options, and the included juicy steaks were a highlight. The facilities were great, offering everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
