The B&B is situated in a nice neighbourhood close (20 mins walk) to all the touristy sites. Closer by are restaurants, shops on South Street, which is about two blocks away. The room was fantastic - very comfortable, clean and excellent furnishings. The owners were very welcoming and tried hard to make my stay more comfortable for example by providing... more

The main point I would make about the Philadelphia Bella Vista B&B is that it is a GREAT value for money. This hotel is in a convenient location in downtown Philadelphia, very close to the Italian Market, charging less than half the price that the nearby Philadelphia hotels charge. Of course, that being said, note that this is a Bed... more

when we saw this B and B online, we were so excited. however upon arriving, the neighborhood is shabby looking and not the best. we were told the house was close to all attractions, but it was a 20 minute walk one way. we had a toddler with us (two years old), which we totaly made the owners aware of,... more

Very quaint B&B that appears to be converted from townhouse apartments. Each room has complete kitchen and bath facilities. They are actually one bedroom apartments. Furnishings are eclectic and quaint. Very quiet side street in South Philly, just a few blocks off Broad St and South St. Walking distance to everything in South Philly. We found parking on the street... more

When my husband and I first drove up to the Bella Vista B&B, we looked at each other and thought oh no, we goofed on this one. The neighborhood looked iffy. The place itself, with its artificial flowers in flower boxes outside and the general deteriorating look, didn't inspire confidence. But since we had booked months in advance, we were... more

We stayed in the Sunrise Room for two nights. It was ok but compared to all other B&Bs that we used on our tour, it was the worst. Everything was clean, but the room was a bit tatty and musty and there were various cracks around and old furniture. The air con was a bit temperamental and there was only... more

We stayed 5 night at the Bella Vista. It's best features was the price and its location. And that is about it. We were highly disappointed by the make-your-own, frozen breakfasts. In an establishment called Bed and Breakfast, you would expect the breakfast to be somewaht of an highlight. Not so here, stale muffins, frozen pancakes! The room accomodations are... more

We stayed at the Bella Vista BNB for 1 night in September. I was very disappointed. I don't know where the people that are giiving this place 5 star ratings slept, but the room that we were in was terrible. It was so tacky that I seriously considered leaving and finding another place and forfeiting the $100 that I had... more

We like B&Bs, but this was the worst we've been to. It may have been that we were in the Hideaway Room (we wish we'd read the tripadvisor comments more carefully), which was moldy, damp, smelly, and had an awful shower. We couldn't wait to get home to really clean ourselves and our clothes. If you have allergies (as we... more
