Recently stayed for two nights at the Sofitel and was very disappointed in both the hotel and the staff. They just were not welcoming or helpful. I would even say they were at times rude, from the valet, to check-in, to the housekeeping staff. Once in our room, the room was fine, but when I opened the Kuerig, it was filthy with dried tea leaves caked on the machine. It doesn't help that there was no housekeeping, room service, or restaurant or bar open, due to the pandemic. Valet parking was very expensive, many homeless on the surrounding streets and a great deal of construction going on. Would not stay here again.

Except for one lovely woman who we checked in with the desk service was terrible. No housekeeping or any amenities. Checking out they charged for 3 nights of parking instead of one. When I asked about returning the $100.00 charged for incidentals for 2 rooms I was told by an unfriendly and unapologetic woman it would take 3-5 or 7-10 days for a refund. Quality of hotel has definitely declined . Positive location and quiet room

Currently writing this review from our room, Dont spend your money and stay here! They have no housekeeping, which is the case with many hotels but they dont tell you such info when booking...HOWEVER we requested new towels and soap products when we left for the day at 11am, return to the room 10hrs later and no towels or soap products. At 1030pm We call down and asked for new towel sets and soap products, they finally return with 4 bath towels and notning else. They truly dont give a hoot about anything here. Hotel is also very outdated, despite their site saying we r in a “renovated” suite, this particular property def gives the Sofitel brand a bad image! Lots of better options in Philly!

We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. The location near Rittenhouse Square and in the middle of the shopping/dining district is superb. The room was updated and very nice. The bathroom was large and luxurious. The pillows and bedding were not up to the standards we were expecting.

We just returned from a fabulous family celebration of our daughters college graduation at the Sofitel. Despite COVID issues and restrictions, Michael Mitloff and all the fabulous staff at the Sofitel Rittenhouse, helped us organize a breakfast and dinner party, (appropriately distanced), that made us feel as if we were living in normal times once again. The food was perfect, the staff friendly and attentive, the rooms spacious and a good value relative to other hotels that we have stayed at in Philadelphia previously.
