The Philadelphia Hotel Bella Vista

We liked that it was more like an apartment than a traditional hotel. Will stay there again. Convenient parking garage also. Nice back patio.

We were initially given incorrect codes and room information, but all was corrected with a phone call.

Very friendly staff, charming room with lots of wonderful detail, quiet street, overall great experience

Little bit dusty in some areas, mattress a bit uncomfortable but otherwise a lovely unique experience

Location was walking distance to many things

This is said to be a bed and breakfast and had no food. Bedroom is shared as well as kitchen area.

Staff was friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Was quick to accommodate my son's arts and crafts requirements. Thanksl!

Room was too warm. Thermostat was not working in the room.

Location and charm! Bella Vista is the cutest neighborhood, and it was great to be so close to so many things. Walking distance to the restaurants in East Passyunk, but also walking distance to center city. It felt like we were guests in a relative's home

Location, price, friendly and helpful owner.

Had to talk to two different staff to get AC working. Even worse, narrow doors and narrow alley to room made it impossible to roll suitcase. Had to carry suitcase awkwardly instead, resulting in shoulder injury.

Nice short stay for an event. Easy location. Quiet place. Free Wi-Fi.

Difficult to find. Difficult access to room. No staff around.

Neat lil place

Calling it "breakfast" is a stretch

It was a lovely space. I loved the nostalgic feel it gave me with the dressers and canopy beds without canopy. I loved the whirl bath.

The stairs and there was no elevator. I had a large suitcase and carryon that I had to carry up those stairs which was tough. I feel people should be warned about that because if they are handicapped or elderly they could have issues. The place only had 2 towels and no wash cloths but luckily I carry my own when I travel. It didn’t warm up well in the space. Other then the address number and blue door it was hard to find because I was expecting a large sign out front and it to be a traditional hotel and not inn because name says hotel in it.

Beautiful historic furnishings, comfortable beds, extremely spacious.. The hotel is located in a historic townhouse. The location was perfect for our visit to Philadelphia's Magic Gardens and within walking distance of Philadelphia's most historic neighborhoods. .There were good restaurants nearby, plus we were a couple of blocks from South Street. The management was very responsive to our questions.

We liked everything about the hotel...it is not a full service hotel, but good meals and morning coffee are easily accessible.

This is a beautiful property! The room was clean and self check-in was so easy. The innkeeper was so helpful answering my questions. Loved the location, we had a great stay and I highly recommend!

Cool historical rooms with coffee and sugars

A bed and breakfast should probably offer breakfast. Would be nice to have a common area available for guests like a living room

The location was great. Close to central but also quiet location with some great gems near by. The decor of course was stunning. Great amenities in the rooms and extremely clean.

The bed was SO creaky and loud, meaning we kept waking up every time one of us turned - really needs fixing as we did not get a good nights sleep at all. Could do with a bigger bath towel & a hand/hair towel. No room on the bedside tables due to massive lamps - would say sometimes it was style over substance in the room.

Great location to see the liberty bell, museums, Phili Eagles game as well as a places to eat in the area. Beds were comfortable. Loved the atmosphere of the hotel

parking, but that is not the facilities fault

I loved this boutique hotel! It’s quiet and the location is so good.

My only negative feedback is that the mattress in the room we stayed in should be replaced - it’s sagging in the middle for sure.

I love the refrigerator so that I could go buy my own items for breakfast at the Whole Foods Market, which is two blocks down the street and I could have coffee in the room with the coffee maker and delicious fresh ground coffee in Victorian ceramic pottery. I love the Italian restaurant on the corner And the area was convenient to get to the subway so I could get to the ballpark. Directions were clear for the code into the main hallway and up the stairs to my room that had its own code. Love this little place.

Location is great and the staff were very responsive.

While the king bed was spacious, the memory foam was not very comfortable. Also, one of the painting fell off the wall at 3am and I could not get back to sleep.

Prompt phone contact with manager to answer questions. Cleanliness of room. Historical period furnishings with fresh updates. Microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator in the room. Light and bright. Easy check-in and no check-out. Location.

Over time brighten/restore stairwells and stair case. Such an interesting part of the structure.
