Penn's View Hotel Philadelphia

Super clean, friendly staff, and the restaurant was phenomenal. I have back issues, and soft mattresses typically aggravate them, but the mattress in my room was super plush and didn't cause me any issues at all. I woke up feeling more rested than I have in years. The hotel isn't in a particularly quiet area, but I couldn't hear any outside noise in my room, and I was very pleasantly surprised.

Penn's View staff are really nice and helpful--from front desk to cleaning staff. The location is great and convenient to the L line. The room was also clean with a comfortable bed. I also was pleasantly surprised by the Panorama restaurant and wine bar. They had quite the selection of wines and exceeded my expectations. I also appreciated the coffee in the lobby every morning. Despite the busy location, my room was super quiet, too. I booked early and found it to be an economical choice and good value for the money as well.

The historical location is close to all the sites which are easy to walk around. There is a Plash bus and metro station very close by which allows you to see the sights without having to walk too much. The room was very clean and very comfortable. There's complimentary coffee and muffins for breakfast. Which was good. Although there's a delightful breakfast/lunch cafe across the road that served wonderful coffee,tea etc and delicious sandwiches cakes and treats. The hotel had a fantastic restaurant. The staff member who checked us in gave us a 25% saving voucher which was brilliant. All the staff we met were friendly, helpful and very thoughtful.

It has a feel of a historic bed and breakfast. It's charming. It really is like the old days. Having a real actual physical key that I leave at reception just brings back cozy memories. Super convenient for restaurants and the old city. But don't miss the restaurant in the hotel. It is phenomenal. Great food, great flights of wine.

We loved our room and the size of it! The bathroom was nice, and we stayed in a room with the spa bath (the bath had jets). Everything was well stocked, and the staff had a crib ready in the room for our toddler. Everyone there was super nice and greeted us. The muffins at breakfast were ok, our son loved them. We loved having the train station right around the corner.
