Our stay at the Penn's View Hotel was awesome. The service and staff were excellent and views of Penn's Landing were great. This hotel is in the perfect place to visit and see the history of Philadelphia. The attractions are right outside the door. The bar was fantastic and so was the breakfast. The room was just as the website... More

This was on the list of hotels within walking distance of the office where I worked this week. The extra bonus here is that it's also a short walk to many restaurants and historic attractions such as the liberty bell. Aside from the great location, the hotel itself is not generic like a chain hotel, it has character and a... More

My husband and I love staying at the Penn's View Hotel. It reminds us of the elegant, quaint hotel we stayed in on our honeymoon in Paris. The moment you walk in, you are greeted at the front desk by the lovely and refined Adrienne. Antonio, the concierge, goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and... More

I'm writing this review a bit late since my boyfriend and I stayed here in December, but better late than never! The staff of this hotel was amazingly warm and helpful. They even gave us a map and highlighted interesting things to see and do. They let us check in early which was great because it was snowing and raining... More

If you are wanting to be in the 'Old City' area of Philadelphia then consider the Penn's View Hotel. The rooms are welcoming with an eclectic decorating look, they are clean and spacious. Prices at Penn's View are modest (and don't forget the complimentary breakfast). Staff is helpful and friendly. If this were not enough reason stay at Penn's View;... More

Very quaint, historic, relatively inexpensive hotel on the waterfront with Penn's Landing view. Walking distance to great, restaurants and shopping. Attentive staff, above average attached restaurant.

When I book a hotel in a new city I always try to find something with a little historic character that's in a neighborhood convenient to the tourist area. This hotel is exactly that - absolutely great location, within walking distance of all the Old City attractions and an endless number of restaurants with easy access to public transit. Our... More

I had to return to my hometown for a college reunion. Most of the hotels were booked months in advance because of a medical convention, and a friend of mine from school found this place. My stay was great and I loved the old style decor of the place. This place is great for a short stay in the city.... More

Nearly everything about Penn's View was exceptional and exactly what I was looking for for my out-of-town wedding guests. Having grown up in Philly (now in SF), I wanted a hotel that was in an area that was walkable for most tourist sites and where people wouldn't necessarily need a car. The location is perfect. Reserving a block of rooms... More

Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate the time you took to review the hotel after your wedding. The staff is more than happy to make your important occasion stress-free and look forward to your return visits to Philadelphia. Philly is a very walkable city, next time leave the car at home. We also have "real hangers" available... More
