Penn's View Hotel Philadelphia

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

absolutely loved the room. Had the Premium ONE KING BED JACUZZI with MEDIUM SIZE Patio Riverview.. and room was spotless .. cute steps going out to patio and you could look over the river to NJ side. Staff was extremely nice. you do hear traffic all night but that did not bother us. Excellent coffee and muffins in the morning!

Great location, walking distance to many historical sites and eateries

Absolutely stunning view on my spacious balcony. The room was very comfortable especially the bed. Dinner at Panorama was wonderful. Don't miss the lobster ravioli, scallops and the wine flights. Highly recommend Penn's View Hotel and Panorama.

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.
