The staff was absolutely amazing!!! Rooms were clean and historically beautiful. Preserving the history is something they are doing a fantastic job at while keeping it modern enough to be comfortable all the way around. I will recommend this place over and over again. Convenient location and food in the hotel was amazing. I just can’t say enough how much I enjoyed my stay here. The staff all need raises. They went above and beyond. Thank you!!

A nice, older building located near historic sites , restaurants & pubs, public transportation & motorways. The place was lovely & clean. The beds were comfortable. The place was quiet. Parking nearby. The views from the hotel are not fabulous (you will see either an elevated roadway, a sound barrier, & an office building). But, we weren't tgere to stay in the hotel & look out. Wexwere therecto wander & explore.

Great historic hotel in convenient location. The room was comfortable and clean. Check-in was easy, very personable and friendly. Had a wonderful conversation with Alex, the bartender, who took time to talk with us and personally invited us to return and stay at Penn's View on our next stay in Philadelphia. Which we most definitely will do!

The staff was literally useless no matter what you asked them for, they either didn’t have anything or nothing was working. The breakfast was just cold horrible coffee with muffins all to go. The location was convenient but overall bad experience and will not return again.

Decent but noisy
Beautiful historic hotel, and friendly staff. Rooms could be more sound proof. I had a room w/out a view, which I chose, as I was told it was more quiet (the hotel faces I-95), but the noise from the highway was still very loud. Would recommend better windows, and/or curtains to block the noise (and light). The restaurant there is excellent.

Overall, everything is nice. Was disappointed that bottled water was not offered - available but had to pay for it. Also, hot tea is not available with the coffee and muffins provided in the morning. Staff was willing to get it but only if they were not busy.

Great stay, great place
My wife and I had a great time at Penn’s View Hotel. The man who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We were in the queen superior room that was great. There was a large shower, fireplace, and small balcony that were all fantastic. The location of the hotel was also ideal. It is across the street from a lot of nightlife, close drive to The Filmore, but far away enough to not get disturbed by the city noise.
