Top Penn Museum Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Staff very nice"

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"All the Staff was gracious and helpful, from the valet to housekeeping. Our room was well appointed, and the filtered secondary handle on the tap to reduce plastic bottle waste was a welcome surprise. The only detraction to our stay was the continental breakfast. It seems many families were in town with very poorly managed party members who were not monitored for proper use of tongs and spoons, preferring their natural implements to finger up all the food until chosen and selected morsels were acquired. We consequently only visited the breakfast the first morning, reducing its usefulness during the stay and schedule."

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Buena localización. Buen desayuno."

4211 Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and convenient."

Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"Our room was small, but clean. Bed very comfortable. One thing that was really frustrating was that the alarm clock from the previous guest was set to go off at 6am. It woke us up which was very annoying having gotten in late. It would've been nice if housekeeping staff checks these things. Our iron/steamer was missing when we opened the bag to use it, so this really made it feel like a lack of attention to detail. The person who checked us in barely smiled and made I contact. She did not offer any help or ask if we needed anything. It just didn't feel as welcoming as other places. Next time we'll go somewhere else."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"very classy and cozy. the reception lounge has a great vibe"

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was accommodating and friendly."

AKA University City

10/10 Excellent

"It was great!"

The Inn at Penn, A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was excellent.. I was going through a breakup and my sister and I were in and out quietly and they didn’t bother us as all"
