Clearly Uncles won't be to everybody's taste, but I've been before and I'll probably go again. It's a great location; a few minutes walk from a bunch of interesting places, restaurants, bars and the convention centre. The price is still extremely good and the bedrooms are clean enough and functional. It is above a fairly lively gay bar and the... More

The room was small/hot and dusty. The furshings old and outdated. I found the staff to be somewhat uncaring. No sense of urgency!!! They seemed more interested in personal conversation between patrons than checking me in. I had to wait several minutes to be acknowledge.

Uncles is a unique destination. The rooms are clean, the location is superb, the staff is friendly and helpful. During the week it is quiet and comfortable.

The poorly appointed room in bad need of repair was dusted with what appeared to be body glitter -- on the floor and on the... More

We found this inn online and liked everything we saw on the proprietor's website. It is located in an incredible location and very well priced. We checked in after 10 pm on a Saturday and came up to a bar that had the same address as the inn. Confused, we asked the door man what was going on and he... More

The main attraction of Uncle's Upstairs is its location, nestled among several Philadelphia gay bars and clubs, as well as convenient to the arts district and walkable to the historic old town and various patriotic sights. Otherwise, it's a mixed story: the rooms are VERY small, but clean and pleasant. The complimentary "breakfast" consists of a basket of packaged danish... More
