I have stayed in many B&Bs and historic homes over the years, and I have to say The Gables is the best I have stayed in. The house is stunning and immaculate, yet very cozy. The hosts are welcoming, just the right mixture of business and sociability.The website photos just do not do the house justice. I stayed 2 nights,... More

Visits to The Gables is like returning home. All the rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is outstanding, and the inn keepers very friendly. Located on a train line, it could not be more convenient to the city. More

The Gables was a very nice place. Very clean and comfy. The breakfasts were very good and the inn keepers delightful. The trolley runs right on the corner, just be sure to catch the one going in the right direction! GPS lead us straight to the place without any problems. Will surely stay here again if in the Philly area. More

I'm glad I trusted the other reviews. My room was awesome and the staff were extremely friendly. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. There is a trolley that stops right outside of... More

We chose this B&B from your reviews, not knowing anything about Philadelphia and our first tour of this historic city. Although in West Philadelphia, the trolley system which stops across the street from the B&B made everything accessible. The trolley/subway system is easy to master. The Gables is a lovely 1889 Victorian home lovingly restored over 20 years. We loved... More
