The hotel is incredibly close to the New Year's Eve fireworks display—just a short walk away, so I could enjoy the dazzling show from a perfect vantage point. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with fresh, high-quality options including delicious local pastries and freshly squeezed juices.

Element Philadelphia Downtown
The view from the room was absolutely stunning, and the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room itself was spotless and well-maintained—everything felt fresh and modern. I especially appreciated the free bananas and water right at the counter; it’s a small but thoughtful touch. Just a heads-up: the convenience store next to the front desk charges $5 for a single bottle of water, so I’d recommend bringing your own refillable bottle. Overall, the experience was top-notch—great location, excellent service, and a fantastic value. Definitely planning to stay here again.
Courtyard Philadelphia City Avenue
I’ve stayed at this hotel before and decided to come back — and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and super comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in a breeze. Breakfast was a highlight — a good variety of hot and cold options, including fresh fruit and tasty pastries. At $21.60 per person, it’s a bit on the higher side, but the quality justifies the price. Parking is another plus — the lot is huge, secure, and easy to navigate, though the $14 fee is a bit steep. Still, knowing your car is safe and you have ample space makes it worth it. The location is excellent too — close to public transit, so getting around Philly is simple and convenient. Overall, a solid choice with consistent quality. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers.

The apartment is absolutely charming! Thoughtfully decorated with comfortable beds, spotless cleanliness, and two bathrooms—perfect for a relaxing stay.

Located in a convenient neighborhood, everything you need is within easy reach—grocery stores, pharmacies, shops—whether walking or driving. It’s the ideal base for exploring Philadelphia. Highly recommend this home away from home!
Sonder the Edison
We stayed at this apartment with my wife and our 2-year-old toddler for three nights, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The location isn’t right in the heart of downtown, but it’s very convenient—just a 10-minute walk to Reading Terminal Market and Independence Hall. There’s a metro station just 300 meters away, and since Philadelphia’s subway system only has two lines, it’s super easy to navigate. The apartment itself is brand new, fully equipped, and thoughtfully designed. Everything you’d need is here: a full kitchen with dishwasher, washer and dryer (a game-changer when traveling with a young kid), smart TV with free internet, air conditioning, heating, hairdryer, and even coffee-making supplies left for us. The neighborhood is quiet yet vibrant, and we felt safe walking back at night with the stroller—no issues at all. The rooftop deck is a real highlight—great for relaxing or enjoying city views. The only minor hiccup? If there’s even a small amount of smoke while cooking (we had a pizza in the oven!), the fire alarm goes off—so be mindful if you’re baking. But honestly, that’s a tiny trade-off for such a great stay. Any questions or concerns were instantly resolved through the Sonder app. Super responsive and helpful. We’d definitely book again—excellent value and a truly comfortable home away from home.
Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia - Penns Landing
The hotel is perfectly located for exploring Philadelphia, just a short walk to the waterfront and nearby attractions. While some sights require a bit of walking, the scenic riverside path makes it enjoyable. The room was comfortably sized—ideal for two adults and a teenager in the twin beds. The bedding was supportive and cozy, making for a restful night. Breakfast was a highlight: warm options included oatmeal, crispy potatoes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and fresh homemade waffles—all served with strong coffee. Cold drinks like milk and juice were also available. It’s a well-rounded selection that feels generous without being overwhelming. The overall experience exceeded expectations, especially considering the value. I’d definitely stay here again, whether traveling solo or with family, and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxed yet convenient base in Philly.
Fairfield Inn & Suites Philadelphia Downtown/Center City
Staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Philadelphia Downtown/Center City was a great experience overall. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, just steps away from major attractions, restaurants, and public transit. I loved how convenient it was to explore downtown on foot or by subway. The breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of hot and cold options—eggs, fresh fruit, pastries, and even some local favorites. It was satisfying and well-prepared. The room was a bit smaller than expected, but it was thoughtfully designed with smart storage and all the essentials you'd need for a comfortable stay. Clean, quiet, and efficient service throughout. If you're looking for a reliable, centrally located hotel with excellent value, this one delivers. I’d definitely book here again when visiting Philadelphia.
