    Room not dark enough at night(room 407). Bright light from hallway coming through blinds. Room darkening shades would've been great.

    They only had coffee and cupcakes. We went out for breakfast. Eggcellent cafe three minute walk from hotel. Highly recommend!

    Penn's View Hotel was very comfortable and clean and provided an old-world historic feel.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable. The wood floor with area rug along with the furniture and walls supplied us with a lovely vintage atmosphere. The fitness room was left open and available, which was a nice change from most hotels that put multiple restrictions on the use of their facilities. Coffee and muffins were supplied each morning providing a nice pick-me-up on the way out of the hotel each day.

    We were in room 406 and the plumbing in the bathroom was funky. Eg the shower: rotate handle, off > Hot > cold. The reverse of what you’d expect! Loud conversations from the roof were a distraction.

    Friendly, & clean

    Depending on where your room is, you might have some noise from the highway. I asked to change rooms, as it was too noisy for me and I needed to work. When facing the inner courtyard, it was quiet.

    I enjoyed my stay here. The staff was super kind and accommodating. Very charming and large rooms. Also great that they have a gym.

    We chose to eat at the restaurant because of the coupon that we were given at check-in. Unfortunately, we forgot to hand it to the wait staff when we were paying the bill. Perhaps this could have somehow been automatic if they knew that we were staying at the hotel.

    The morning coffee and muffin was a nice bonus in the morning. The restaurant was excellent. We were given a promotion of 25% off at the restaurant and forgot to hand it to the wait staff when we were paying our bill : ( but the happy hour was outstanding.

    Nothing

    It was a beautiful, old fashion hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and the room was nice and cozy. I stayed here when going to the Critical Role show at the Freedom Morgan Pavillion in Camden and the hotel was located not too far.

    Old World style in Old City Philly

    The Penn's View Inn is our go-to hotel for our weekend getaways in Philadelphia. We love the Old World style and atmosphere in the hotel and the location in Old City is great for us. The staff is always exceedingly friendly and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed happy hour and dinner for the first time in the Panorama hotel restaurant, taking advantage of a generous 25% discount offered by the hotel. It was a very pleasant evening. The hotel no longer offers breakfast as they used to in years past, but they do put out coffee and muffins for guests in the lobby each morning. Highly recommend Penn's View Inn.

    They have parking but only a few parking spaces, so we had to wait until somebody else left to get their parking space, and it is paid parking. Parking is close by .

    It was clean, and complimentary snacks and coffee

    Not a thing. My stay was amazing.

    I loved how the hotel room was an actual bedroom style. The room was very different in such a good way. They even had an actual key to get into your room. Never seen a hotel that did that. Staff was very friendly. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean and nice.

    This is an older hotel. You feel you are in the 1940's (in a good way) Our room was beautiful with hardwood floors and real room keys(not the credit card type). Staff was wonderful. Will come back in the Spring. We were there in January when it was cold. Within walking distance to museums and the Liberty Bell.
