Top Philadelphia Zoo Hotel Reviews

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"Your advertisement shows there is a bar in the hotel but it belong to the hotel next door. Although the hotels are owned by the same owners I don’t think it’s right you include as your own. It’s miss leading to guests"

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"My stay very nice next month I will ask about mid size room Again very nice stay 😊"

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a very good experience. We liked the room, staff, as well as the restaurant. The location is great. One major concern is the design of the bathroom area (likely fueled by having spent a lifetime in health care). Having no sink in the toilet area results in the light switch and the door being repeatedly touched by unwashed hands. I think the light switch was originally on a motion sensor but that feature was not functioning. Also, I found having no door at the shower and sink area less than desirable. Otherwise, it was truly an enjoyable stay. ."

The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!"

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Its a very nice place staff are phenomenal all around I definitely will stay there again aoon went to just relax myself and I aute did that."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel, great location, enjoyed our stay. Our room was tiny, but clean and nice, probably meant to be an adjoining suite room. But we enjoyed it. We were in Philadelphia to see the sites not to hang out in a hotel room. Good place to stay. No parking but there was a public lot only a 1/2 block away, so no issues there."

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Quick & easy checkin, the staff was very helpful & accommodating. I didn’t have a balcony but I booked the skyline suite on the 24th floor & had amazing views of the city. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, clean & didn’t have that cheap hotel feeling."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great atmosphere and high quality hotel. Will definitely stay again if I visit Philly in the future"

BrotherlyLove—Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in lovely Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away."
