My daughter and I spent the night here at Society Hill Hotel in Oct. 2009 - we couldnt have been treated any better.......immediately when you walk in you feel the old feel of Philadelphia, friendly face behind the bar and lots of atmosphere! We were immediately taken to our room, showed around and given our key. We decided to eat... more

I've stayed her many times because of the location, friendly staff, great restaurant and bar. There are new managers making sure everything is right. The hotel has a European feel and the restaurant/bar is definitely popular among the locals. Walk to everything. Always a fun time. Great price, too. more

Forget the old reviews - there's new management in town. I was a little skeptical when I read the mixed reviews but my wife and I wanted a getaway weekend in the middle of the historic district with the right price tag. Society Hill Hotel was just right. The staff is very friendly and ewhile the hotel doesn't have a... more

Spent a 3 day weekend at this great little B&B. It is located right in the middle of the historic area and a couple of subway stops from the chic shopping district. Plenty of good restaurants in the area but you don't have to go any farther than the restaurant/pub downstairs. Lots of locals dine here. Rooms are basic, clean,... more

My husband and I booked this hotel for a night in historic Philly because it's pet friendly and we were traveling with our miniature dachshund. I was worried she'd get fleas from this disgusting place. We also shared the room with at least one mouse. The only amenity in the bathroom was a bar of soap. The window air conditioner... more

Great Location I was close to everything, like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. "Really Cool" bar and restaurant downstairs. And I must say the staff was helpful with directions and generally very friendly. I would recommend it if you are looking to hang out in Philadelphia for a few days. more

Well after reading all the negative reviews I was preparing myself for a horrible experience but only needing a place to sleep I decided to book the room and take my chances. No front desk but most bed and breakfast don't have them anyway, checked in at that bar. The man at the bar was very friendly and helpful. Walking... more

Arrived late afternoon, to be greeted by a grumpy tattooed barman, who muttered his first - and last - words to us. Not a warm welcome at all. The hotel absolutely stinks. Kind of damp/boilled cabbage/rotting trash smell. Our room was in keeping with the whole of the hotel - filthy!! Was unable to get a room elsewhere, so had... more

After reading the reviews I had my reserved my opion until I had stayed here. Each room has a name of a famous person associated with it and we stayed in the William Penn room. We had 2 rooms on the 3rd floor that shared the bathroom. The shower was great for a hotel of any kind and although we... more
