Our stay at the Penns View was Excellent! Very clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly and helpful from check in and housekeeping through to the bar and service staff in their outstanding adjoining restaurant Panorama. The location for walkability to the historic area and views of the river topped off our stay.

A Hotel built for Comfort...
This is our hidden gem of hotels in the Center City area. If you want to explore the history of Philadelphia, this is the place to be. Short walking distance to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Redding Terminal and more.

Perfect place for me.
Location within walking distance of Independence Hall, Ben Franklin’s grave, Liberty Bell, US Mint and many other Historic sites. Plenty of good restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner nearby. Sports complex within 10 miles.

Historic details
Hotel location is right near freeway but it is still in a beautiful, historic area—just on the edge of it. Hotel is wonderfully quirky. Bar is great with really nice cocktails. Our room had many historic touches including a gorgeous old brick wall. Staff were excellent.

The room was cozy, clean, and quiet. The bed, pillow, and linens were soft and very comfortable. The staff were friendly. The only negative about the hotel is the lack of dedicated parking lot. Since the private parking lot next door had no in and out privileges and closes at 10PM, we had to park and walk a couple of blocks way from the hotel to park our car at night.

Great authentic hotel in historic Phili
Great authentic hotel. Ask for a room at the back as traffic noise from I95 is constant at the front. No breakfast. Comfy room with great shower and whirlpool bath. Bins for recycling would be helpful.

By all means stay here!
What a warm and welcoming hotel! Location is wonderful - we walked to Chinatown and passed a lot of historical sites. Room comfortable and quiet. Bathroom clean and water pressure great. I would definitely stay here again. Everyone at the reception desk goes out of their way from giving directions and lending chargers to asking us about our evening when we returned.
