- Tom (7/5): Ok stay - Overall "ok" stay. We did a 1 night in a king room with park view. Room is spacious. Nice view on the park. Bathroom with shower was nice. Room was ok clean, dust in the corners. We had a quick lunch at the restaurant bar which was pricey but good. Breakfast was decent but not wow. Staff was very friendly overall. The attention to detail was not there, which for a 5-star hotel you would expect. We had an already filled out breakfast menu in the room. There was an empty slippers bag in the closet. The biggest bummer was the heating which made quite some noise in the room. The bed was decent but not great.

- sheryl (10/5): - Exceptional hotel worth the price great staff and the rooms are wonderful, but the location is perfect perfect perfect. The staff is outstanding. They are there to help and that’s exactly what they do.
- Sophie (8/5): Bien mais cher - Établissement de luxe La Clim faisait bcp de bruit
- Migjen (10/5): An unforgettable stay at the Rittenhouse Hotel, where every detail was perfect and the warm welcome made us feel truly s - Our stay at the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel truly special, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. The warm welcome, complete with bagels and cookies for our two little princesses, brought huge smiles to their faces. The location is excellent, the service outstanding, and the hospitality unforgettable. Thank you for an incredible stay! Nothing.

- NAWWAF (2/5): Don't book and I won't come back ! - The location of the hotel and the hospitality of the staff Noise noise noise The noise of the air conditioner and the outside sounds and the discomfort... The noise of the air conditioner is so annoying that it wakes you up from your sleep. Unfortunately, I spoke to the reception staff, but this matter cannot be resolved or the room changed because all the rooms are in this condition. They justified this by saying that the hotel is old and very worn out.
- Stephanie (8/5): -
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (7/5): Not worth the money - The staff were attentive room was good size. Hotel dinning and food facilities the Italian restuarant was not open at all during visit and the in room dinning menu was somewhat disappointing .
The bathroom need updating to many cracked tiles and marks .
- Laura (8/5): Nice stay in good location. - The staff was great especially concierge and doormen! Location is perfect. Rooms are a bit dated.
- Didem (1/5): Bad - 3hrs wait to check in and no house cleaning for three days! We noticed four other guests had similar experiences.
- Adewale (7/5): Great location near nice restaurants. - The location is great. The air conditioner made a loud noice. I was kept waiting till after 4pm before allowed to check in.
- Anat (9/5): Superb - The beds, the pillows, the place, the spa The breakfast was average
- Rita (8/5): Very good -
- Hunter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): Our stay at The Rittenhouse was exceptional. Additionally, the afternoon tea my wife had for her mother’s 80th birthday - Everything about The Rittenhouse Hotel was exquisite. Very clean and manicured with a staff that is top notch. The location is excellent.
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oriana (7/5): Good - Beautiful hotel, amazing location, unfortunately the two ladies at check out were unexpectedly rude
- Sekai (9/5): Superb -
- Jane (9/5): Superb -
- Jasen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (9/5): Superb -
- Izabela (6/5): Great view and nothing else - Great location Heating system from last century, not working, had to ask for technical support, when working very loud and smelly
Receptionist didn’t know the logo meaning , nor provided folio even he started conversation from this item… odd … and said he’s new to this place…
Restaurant closed for Super Bowl… I got elevated bar food for high price - fries and wings , seriously?!?!
- Frances (9/5): We will return whenever we visit Philadelphia - High standards. Very clean. Friendly staff
- Samantha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrian (7/5): Average to potential to improve with better staff - Location, warm in the room Bad breakfast, everything burnt, expensive, all staff looking aggresive to tips without deserving them
- Danielle (8/5): Very good - It’s a superb location and idyllic overlooking the square. A lovely hotel with large suites, with added bonus of a swimming pool & spa. It’s the higher end price wise
- Dr (9/5): Superb -
- Ellen (5/5): Don’t think I’d go back, but the people were all pleasant and the pool/gym/ locker room were great - The location was great and the rooms were large The first room we got was beautiful and enormous with two beds, which was what we asked for. The room was frigid. The staff promptly responded to our request for them to repair the heat, and when that did not work, they moved us to a suite with one bed, and a sofa bed. The sofa bed was not made and we called to have it made up. It was a very cheap and uncomfortable sofa bed. My friend had a terrible sleep. When she talked to the front desk about it they were very sorry and promised to add comforters etc. when we returned to the room at 3pm nothing had been done. She went back to the desk and asked for a one night refund. The manager said they would confer and get back to her. They never did, but both breakfasts were comped.
Since we had a fair amount of inconvenience and she had to keep going to the front desk, it didn’t feel like we were treated as well as one would hope at an expensive hotel. Several things didn’t work, like the scale and the clock, which were not a big deal, but just gave an overall feeling that they’re not on top of things.
- Burc (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): The location made our visit with our daughter wonderful. - Meticulously maintained facilities. Staff extremely professional and attentive. I’m 6’3” @ 270 and the shower was extremely small in the suite for big guys. Lovely bath tho
- Heather (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): Gr at location! - Indoor heated pool adjacent to a great gym complete with a reformer and other workout accoutrements for stretching exercises. ALL staff exceptional. Nothing to complain about!

- Nita (10/5): Perfection! - Absolute perfection from arrival to departure. Rooms were clean, view amazing, location spot on for shopping and sightseeing, stations nearby for travelling to the airport or NYC. Hotel staff the best! I could go on…! Will definitely stay here again.
