I couldn't have been happier with the Penn's View. For much less than I would have spent on a chain hotel, I got a great view of the water, a well-stocked Continental breakfast, a large room with a comfortable bed, and attentive, personable service. Loved the restaurant reviews in the room's guest services book! The hotel is easily accessible by... more

I can't say enough about the level of service and accommodations at Penns View. We had 4 rooms for a graduation including young adults and grandparents. The staff went out of their way to find a comfortable chair for my elderly father, and allowed my daughters to stay in their room the next day long after checkout time. I left... more

We have stayed at the Penns View Inn on many occasions and loved it. This past weekend was no exception. The warmth with which we were welcomed was appreciated and the accommodations were pleasant and inviting. The Panorama Ristorante and Wine Bar are world renowned. The wine flights are such as nice way to try different wines before choosing a... more

Staff were really helpful, room was lovely but the view was a brick wall. Location was some way from the centre of Philly but was on the river and very near a bus and subway station. more

I really enjoyed our stay at Penn's view. We loved our room so much part of our plans for our first evening included spending time by the fire place and Champagne in the hot tub. It was just the romantic getaway we were looking for. We had dinner at the hotel as well and that was great. The wine selection... more

My husband and I stayed at the Penn's View for New Year's eve. We stayed on the 7th floor and I specifically asked for a quiet room and that is what I got. No noise what so ever. Keep in mind folks you can't have a view as well!! Usually a view means a street and this is a small... more

We stayed at this lovely little hotel when we came into the city for several of my husband's doctor's appointments at a nearby University. Originally I booked a standard queen room, but on our way into the city, my husband and I decided that if the price was reasonable, and an upgrade was available, we would take it, as we... more

Not quite the experience it bills itself as, especially for the price. The bed was too hard and older, there was little closet space to speak of, we had one itty-bitty little window that stared out to a derelict building next door and let in precious little light. The jacuzzi tub was dirty when we arrived: it had soap scum... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night and to be honest, did not have the most pleasant of experiences. I will start with the pros though, as Penn's View did have a few. PROS: * Very easy to get to using the subway if you are travelling from interstate and have arrived in Philly at 30th St Station.... more
