If you like places with no staff, this was a nice place. It is a well furnished historic building in a lively area. However, our room had no windows at all and the floorboards creaked loudly which was inconvenient for getting up in the middle of the night.

We just returned from a completely magical stay at Guild House Hotel. When traveling, love staying in places that are connected to the city rather than in cookie-cutter corporate hotels. Everything about this hotel exceeded my wildest dreams- it is gorgeous, comfortable, and centrally located. We will be back and I’ll be dreaming of Guild House every day until we are!

Hotel itself was great — clean, spacious, stylish decor, good vibe. There is no one on site, no check-in desk, no concierge, but they were responsive over text, gave precise instructions for getting into the room, etc. BUT there were several belligerent homeless people lingering just outside the hotel. And it’s incredibly loud at night from the surrounding bars and clubs! Obviously not the fault of the hotel, but I would hesitate to stay there again…

Lovingly restored building with wonderful detailing yet with modern functioning utilities. A most pleasant experience. Drawbacks - a few external ones. The building is on an unattractive street next to a parking lot and a garage and inhabited by a few unhoused persons. Still the surrounding area beyond this one block is quite nice. And there is nowhere to buy sodas or snacks nearby. There is an informal restaurant/bar around the corner, but it is cash only and does not open until 9:00 AM.We would most definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.

Room Florence was beautiful!! The ceilings must have been 20 feet high. The bed and pillows were super comfy. I’m used to seeing on Expedia if the room had no windows on the main page. I quickly glanced at the pictures and didn’t catch it was windowless. The main concern was not setting an alarm so had no point of reference what time it was by lighting. I looked at my phone often during the night. We didn’t receive our complimentary bottle of wine but not a big concern but was missed. The dumb waiter wasn’t working to bring bags up to the secure room. The location was perfect. The communication was excellent and not having an on-site reception works well. The one tap sparkling water and still was super convenient. A beautiful property so would stay again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Beautiful and unique hotel

Really loved this hotel. The room was beautiful and unique, and it was more spacious and better-priced than a lot of the chain hotels in the area. The invisible service model was actually pretty convenient, "checkin" was super easy and they text you all the info you need. The bath products and snacks were really good lol And we were pretty amazed by how quiet it was, considering we had a first-floor room literally steps away from the Superbowl crowds on Broad Street.

Quiet luxury with a historical touch

Unique in an amazing way. Each room is named and curated based on a trailblazing woman from the past. The whole experience is steeped in quiet luxury from the French press coffee with local pastries in your room to the lounge with sparkling water on tap for your personal glass carafe. Perfection in an understated way.

Beautiful property. I love that there’s no front desk, so no waiting in line to check in! The hotel is in walking distance to really nice restaurants and coffee shops. Walkable neighborhood and the septa station is right around the corner. I stayed here for a concert at WF Arena. I felt very fancy at this hotel I’ve never stayed at one that provided robes lol. Definitely worth a visit. And the staff is literally always a text away.
