My husband and I stayed at the “Will” suite in Old City. The space was beautiful and filled with natural light. Checking in and checking out was very easy and contactless. We appreciated having a fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer. The location was very convenient, close to many restaurants, shops, and attractions. I would definitely recommend the Lokal Hotel. We had a wonderful stay!

The Betsy room was perfect for our family. Our teens still love bunk beds, and we appreciated all the space in the common room. Although the kitchen area has limited storage, they have supplied an excellent array of cooking materials and supplies. We could have made a sophisticated meal there. The washer/dryer was very much appreciated. Access is great with your personalized code. We would stay here again.

Lokal was perfection in every way - from the decor to the location to the top notch service. My family and I visited for a few days and it was extremely convenient to stay in an apartment styled space. I can’t recommend it enough!

I love the idea of Airbnb - instead of a basic hotel room I get the chance to live like a local in an apartment with a kitchen. However, the reality of Airbnb is poor service, hidden charges and that nagging doubt that it'll all work out properly as you're dealing with a person rather than a business. Which is why I *loved* staying here .. all of the "live like a local" advantages but the service levels of a proper hotel. Seamless "checkin", quick responses to emails, safe and secure financial arrangements. And the apartment .. wow. Cool design with gorgeous features, from the concrete kitchen worktop, through the stunning bathroom, to the wonderful floor to ceiling windows overlooking the street. The added touches of a bitters stocked cocktail trolley to make Old Fashioned's and a fully stocked kitchen essentials cupboard meant we really did live like locals, buying locally and cooking at "home", a very welcome respite after almost 2 weeks of dining out during the rest of our trip around the Northeast. When I return to Philly there is only one place I am ever going to stay.

A hotel that is the same as feeling in a super functional home. Located in the heart of Philadelphia, Old City. Comfortable, ideal to rest. Close to the best places to eat and walk. The best option if you go to the city. Friendliness and professionalism

I love the simple style, the modern features and the cozy white robes! It felt like a spa getaway with fresh purified tap water, class cocktail options and all the coffee accessories you need. Coming from someone who is not a big fan of a crowded city, I loved that when I walked in this hotel room, I instantly felt relaxed and comfortable. I love supporting local businesses and this hotel is all about that! The ipad allowed you to order what you need from a local busuiness nearby and everything was convenient. You didn't have to worry about checking in or getting a key. Even the shampoo & conditioner was amazing! Overall, amazing boutique hotel experience!

My friend and I stayed at the Louisa apartment in Old Town and we fell in love with the space the moment we walked in there. There was so much natural light! The apartment is beautifully designed with attention to detail. We enjoyed using the kitchen - it had everything we needed for cooking meals. Contactless check-in and check-out were super easy! The location couldn't be any better, so close to all the attractions, shops and restaurants. Highly recommend Stay Lokal to anyone traveling to Philadelphia.
