Overall Ratings & Reviews Penn's View Hotel

Computer systems were totally down when we arrived, staff was friendly and room was clean, but older and the bathroom smelled so strongly of bleach that it hurt my eyes, but at least I knew it was clean. We ate at the restaurant and the food was good but service was incredibly slow.

Lovely little Hotel in the heart of the old city. The room was bigger than I expected and quite comfortable. There is a lot of traffic cc

We loved how close we were to the water and the historical sites we came to visit. Cute room and comfy beds.

It was my birthday and the rooms were booked so we upgraded to a suite that was wonderful!

Very nice boutique

Room is good and it's right next to the river, but the parking is expensive.

Very nice small hotel in the Old City, the restaurant was a real gem.

Staff was very kind. Beautiful hotel and a perfect location for us to visit family nearby. Parking isn’t included but we managed.

The staff is wonderful!

This is the hidden gem that you want to keep to yourself, but you just cant. It has everything, charm, cleanliness, convenient parking (add'l fee) and walkable to ferry. Although please note, there is a lot of roadwork that has easily tripled the walk to ferry. The Panaorama restaurant is attached and serves wonderful Italian Food. You also get a 25%off coupon for staying and dining there. It is our go to spot for concerts at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. It is what i consider a boutique hotel. Very clean and staff is top notch.

This is a wonderful period correct boutique hotel. With an excellent restaurant attached to it. The room was very clean, very comfortable, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. While the elevator was a bit slow, it seemed to be fitting of a period hotel situated, ideally, in the old section of Philadelphia, with convenient walking distance access to Penn's Landing, the ferry to New Jersey and many of the cultural and historic attractions in that part of the city

Clean

Very professional nice location staff was amazing

Stayed at the property with my son for a couple of days. Folks at reception are very friendly and helpful. If you’re in town, this is a good hotel to stay.

N/a

spacious and clean room, big comfortable bed. nice bathtub. staff was very friendly and welcoming. I know it’s not for everyone but I very much liked the historical, older vibe of the place. and, we could easily walk to go get dinner, coffee, see a show, etc.

We have a wonderful stay! Beautiful property and great restaurant! Friendly staff too

Great location, friendly staff and we were comfortable.

First, I paid for a room with a Queen-sized bed. Instead, I was given a room with a smaller, standard-sized double bed. Second, this property is in need of upgrade. For example, the room air conditioner had two settings. "Off". . . which rendered the room hot and stuffy. "On". . . which rendered to room shiveringly frigid. The cold air blew forcefully onto the bed making it hard to sleep.

I feel like I found a hidden gem. The hotel has an old-fashioned charm to it (right down to having a physical key instead of a keycard) that fits in well with the historic Philly area. The room was spacious and clean and updated. The staff was helpful, referring us to a great restaurant. We did not eat at the on-site restaurant but went there for a drink afterwards. The wine selection was amazing (a Guiness World Record for largest winekeeper!) and the bartender was fantastic. A welcome place to stay if you're looking to avoid a chain hotel.
