The staff were so nice and accomodating! Our room was a great size and the beds were very comfortable. The location was awesome-very walkable to all of the historic sites and to great restaurants. I will definitely be returning.

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.

This is our fourth stay at the Penn View. We love it here! Beautiful rooms! Fantastic Restaurant! A record breaking number of wines by the glass! Friendly and helpful staff! We cannot wait to return. It is a great place to stay during restaurant week or the flower show.

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.

The Penn's View is my favorite hotel in Philly. It's old school charm, with large (king) rooms, beamed ceilings and gas fire places. It's a nice change of place from the usual upscale chains. Service is personable and attentive. The rooms are immaculately clean and quiet. The Panorama Restaurant on the first floor is a wine bar and Italian restaurant with an extensive wine-by-the-glass selection. Friendly bartenders and first class waitstaff. Indulge yourself, you'll be happy you did.

Close to all of the old historic sites. Easy walking. Parking right next door. Parking is now $35 a night not $30. Staff was excellent. Room was very comfortable and clean. We will stay here again when going to Philly.

Loved the property and the front desk staff! The restaurant was lacking. Food took forever and it was a prefix menu so that never should have happened. Portions were terrible and we had two steaks ordered one was under and the other over cooked?? Salmon was fatty!! Great location for New Years fireworks but not worth the money for food. 288 for two!!!!yicks

This was such a quaint hotel with a nice view of course depending on where your room is located front view (which I didn't have) has a beautiful view of Penns Landings. I loved the raw brick wall in the room, very spacious , bed comfortable - the only drawback is the jacuzzi tub - really not needed or used these days - very large if interested in using but would have preferred a shower stall. Staff was pleasant .. will definitely visit again and try a room with a fire place. It was a nice quick getaway before Christmas !

Loved it, Was AWESOME.
I was not happy that there was a Fly endlessly buzzing all over the place throughout my entire 3 day stay. No mini Fridge or Microwave. The Neighborhood was amazing. So many restaurants to choose on every block. The bus right outside the door. The Train station directly at the other end of the block. Very well stocked bathroom with extra towels and toilet paper.

Went to concert and needed a place to stay. Rather than do a chain hotel, tried Penn’s View. Good value and had a quaint charm. Easy to get back on I95 too.

Loved the ambiance!
This hotel isn't a modern high rise, but it we loved the old ambiance fitting of the history of the city. The front desk persons were friendly and helpful. Our room was a mix of old and new with a open brick wall and a fireplace. It was comfortable and quiet (request a room in the back of the hotel). The jacuzzi bath tub was a nice addition. If I had anything negative to say is that we could hear a lot of heavy feet in the room above (we were on the 2nd floor). Other than that, I'd definitely stay here again and would also love the opportunity to eat in their restaurant. We did have a drink at the very cool, sort of swanky, bar and the bartender was friendly and personable. Overall, we loved staying at Penn's View Hotel!

Convenient location close to the subway and restaurants. It maintained its old charm with exposed brick and courtyards while having modern updates such as very comfortable bed and great shower!

The location was great. Little hard to find at first. They had my reservation ready and easy check in. The room was clean and had all the comforts you could want. Some items are not in the room like mini fridge, coffee maker, or micro, but that was fine. They have coffee in the lobby in the morning and some muffins. Restaurant is attached as well. We loved the place.
