Top Philadelphia Zoo Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Room was clean and quiet. Lobby better than expected and the 24x7 espresso drinks were a nice touch. Staff was the best."

Aloft by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

Storehouse Lofts

10/10 Excellent

"Super convenient area with a aldis walking distance . Free on site parking was awesome for this city . Parking garage is open to the public and very dark so that was a little sketchy . But the room was awesome"

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I loved staying at this VRBO. I surprised him with a trip for the weekend for his birthday and it was perfect for what we needed ! The only thing that was frustrating was the parking situation as there is only 2 hour parking outside of this place and we did end up getting a ticket as we slept in past the two hour mark for Saturday morning, the parking is only 2 hours from 8-6 Mon-Sat, so in the future we would look for different parking that would have to be further away from the actual place. This is completely out of Akia’s control, so no fault to her, just a note I thought I should share for future renters! Thank you for everything Akia! We will definitely consider this property for future stays!"

3-Story Philly Townhouse 2 Mi to University City!

10/10 Excellent

"The inside of the home was amazingly great. I did learn a new word from my son regarding the neighborhood though, gentrification. We arrived after dark and the neighborhood/ Street seemed a little scary. We met Steve, the neighbor, and got to know him over our 3 night stay. His presence probably keeps the street safe. There is a police station across the way as well. We did walk to the university, the grocery, the bagel store and the donut shop and felt safe. Just saying don't judge the place by the first impression as you approach."

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."
