Great service and clean rooms! Was right across from market st. Bars and clubs and the Franklin Fountain a soda/malt shoppe! Restaurant was very elegant and great atmosphere! My wife and I will definitely venture here again! More

My boyfriend and I spent an evening here while visiting Philadelphia. I chose this hotel mainly for its location and close proximity to Christ Church Burial Ground, Independence Hall, etc. We absolutely loved our stay. The room was humongous and very nicely decorated with an extremely comfortable bed. The included breakfast was extremely delicious and proved to be a great... More

We stayed at Penn's View for a weekend and we found it to be a delightful quiet oasis. It's very convenient to all of the historic sites in Center City and Old City. We felt that it was like staying in a small inn in Italy or France. Breakfast was great and service was top-notch! More

I had planned on staying here for a special Valentine's Event that they advertise on their site. But I had questions, so I emailed them asking a few questions and was ignored. So I sent a second email and they claimed they never received the first. I wanted information on their most expensive room and the Valentine's package combo. I... More

We are sorry for the guest's confusion. We were having issues with our e-mail. Hopefully this will explain the package breakdown for this package. We sold over 150 packages of the exact packages at the same rate last Valentine's day weekend and we did not have any misunderstandings. The rates for the rooms online are solely based on demand and... More

I love this hotel and the people that work there are more like family than employees. It has larger than most rooms some with fabulous fire places and jacuzzi tubs. The breakfast included was just like staying at a villa in Italy and the restaurant with their flights of wine was superb. I highly recommend this as an alternative to... More

Just a few blocks from some of the best restaurants and tourist sites in Philly. The hotel is very quaint and kept very clean. Staff is excellent and very helpful with anything you might need to make your stay better. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel with an opulent lobby this is not the place for you.... More

Awesome location but the staff was just incredible! The staff made our entire group (of about 40) feel like we were the only guests there. I would (have had) recommend this hotel to anyone. More

Great location, wonder staff, nicely furnished rooms , good rate ! We have stayed here for NYE the past three years and the service has been impeccable. Our stay this year started with a small miscommunication with the location of our room which was taken care of immediately. Everyone on the staff from the front desk to the house keepers... More

Penn's View has made my honeymoon even more amazing. With its quaint and cosy atmosphere and warm hospitality, Penn's View provides the perfect location to begin a visit of the city. It is near to the bus stop, subway station, and most importantly, a block away from the eclectic candy shop Shane's Confectionary and ice-cream parlour The Franklin Fountain, and... More
