Really enjoyed our stay at the Kestrel. Its central location made it easy to get to everything we wanted to see in Philadelphia. We walked everywhere but some sites may be too far for others. We especially loved how close it was to Reading Market which quickly became our go-to breakfast and snack spot. Would add that their communications were extremely thorough and that helped things go smoothly.

So, chose the Kestrel for its location close to City Center and other attractions in the area. The room's open space design and its minimalist furnishings was not necessarily to my liking, but it was comfortable, clean and appointed with all the necessities for a longer stay. The building itself is secured with an entry system that requires a personal code to enter and it felt safe. There are several restaurants/cafes nearby that offered good food and atmosphere. I would recommend the Kestrel to anyone looking for accommodations near the city's landmarks and a variety of eating establishments.

The room was so much more spacious than we expected. It was clean and quiet and the hosts provided some nice staples for their guests. Getting in and out was very easy because of the stellar communication, and we had a very easy walk to the venue we werw going to, as advertised. Very happy with our stay, thank you!
