Excellent location in the "Old Town" area, but despite being cheap in comparison to other Hotels in the area, it's probably better not to go there. Very steep stairs, tiny living area with one chair, access to the bedroom is though the tiny shower/wc/wash basin area! Tiny bedroom with what looks like a single bed, although it was booked as...

We had 2 nights at this hotel (misnomer) and it was truly awful. No lift, no aircon ( aircon unit shoved into the closet.), window propped open with a bit of wood. Whole window fell out the next day, a miracle that we were not hurt. Staff not around on the Sunday. No room service, We felt sorry for the... More

Located in the heart of Old City Philadelphia, this historic building provides a clean, safe, albeit small place to call home for your visit. The building and rooms are very clean, very small, but with surprisingly high ceilings which negates a feeling of claustrophobia. Because of it's age, I didn't expect a huge room with ample luxuries. The room came... More

This was the worst hotel I ever stayed at. It was clean and the location was good, but the room was postage stamp small and the service was horrible. The TV did not work and the WIFI service only worked occasionally. The soap was enough for 1 shower and the shampoo for 1 hair wash. The hotel is located above... More

Soooooooooooo Noisey could not get to sleep until 3:45 AM. No one to call and no one answered the phone! Terrible experience. Thick layer of dust under table. No chair in room so only place to sit was on the bed. The room itself so hot we were sweating while in the hall it was very cool. We walked away... More

We stayed at the society hill hotel for 3 nights. The location was great, only a 5 or so minute walk to the liberty bell and city hall (liberty hall). A shopping center is also within walking distance, which was good. The room was small, but it's an older building so totally understandable...the ceiling was high which was cute, overall... More

The room was the size of a walk-in closet, the bathroom almost non-existent, the bed so small you couldn't turn into it, the air conditioning noisy as an airplane. In four days they never made the room (not even the bed) or changed the towels. The reception was always closed and nobody answered the phone, so it was impossible to... More

Concur with other reviews...clean, great location, good price, NO amenities. One thing I wanted to emphasize was that the rooms are SMALL. At least 301, which was a tiny bedroom, connected to a tiny sitting room by a really tiny bathroom. My sister and I are both pretty small (under 5'6" and thin) and there was no place in either...

This is for sure the worst "hotel" I've ever been in. First of all, there is no service at all; from time to time somebody is showing up in a sort of office they have on the first floor. Whatever you ask them, be sure that you won't get it, also because the previously mentioned office is always closed (I... More
