We had a choice of outside or inside room. Inside being quieter. It was quiet, cozy with attentive staff, and convenient to all the historic sights and downtown. Had a wonderful time, and would certainly stay there again. more

I met 3 former college friends here for 3 nights in Sept. 2008. This is a small, family-run hotel in the heart of the historic district. We had 4 single rooms, so I can't describe the double rooms. The singles were furnished very nicely in the Williamsburg style, with one queen sized bed, a desk (free wi-fi), round talbe, and... more

Entirely enjoyable stay! Easy access from airport. Elegant feel in a small, unique neighborhood setting. Booked online and was not too confident the requested cot would be available. But it was waiting in our room upon check-in. Even though rooms are small - as are most rooms in an older/historic hotel - we were comfortable with the cot and queen... more

After flying non-stop from Hawaii to Atlanta and then catching a connecting flight to Philly, we were greeted with a friendly handshake, refreshing ice tea, and a cozy comfortable room with a view of Penn's Landing and Market St. The room was so quiet, we had to open the windows to hear all the wonderful street noise of this historic... more

My husband and I snagged tickets to The Police concert at Wachovia and so decided to stay a few nights in Philadelphia as a mini-vacation for the two of us. We have stayed in Philadelphia a number of times at large chain hotels. Penn's View sounded romantic and unique by their website and by reviews. I booked directly on their... more

My husband and I stayed at the Penns View 7/13-7/15 for our 1 year wedding anniversary and the stay was absolutely wonderful. We actually stumbled upon the hotels website by accident while trying to plan a nice inexpensive weekend getaway. I am so glad that we did. We had a premium queen with a view of Penn's Landing and the... more

My wife and I were attending a concert on South Street and stayed for one night at the Penns View Hotel. Since she works right down the street we have been by Penns View hundreds of times on our commute home to South Jersey, and thought that it would be a nice little one night getaway. We originally booked a... more

I stayed here for two nights because of a business trip. It was a GREAT location and great room. I had a queen size bed, which was perfect for one person, and could be ok for two. When you're staying this close to everything in the city, why would you spend a lot of time in the hotel. It was... more

The Penn's View Hotel is located conveniently to Philadelphia's historic district. The Visitor's Center is a mile or less from this hotel as are most of the historic sights that tourists want to see. If you don't need to rent a car, don't. Parking at hotels is very, very expensive. We are lucky and still healthy enough to walk everywhere.... more
