Philadelphia bed & breakfasts

Pros: 100 % recommended!!!! Perfect for med students who will take usmle- cs!!!!

Pros: The house host are friendly, you feel relaxed, and the food is wonderful. You have access to tea and snacks as well.

Pros: The owners were very friendly and helpful. Hospitality was wonderful and the baked goods we were offered were great. Property and building were well maintained and beautiful.

Cons: The bed was a little too hard for my girlfriends liking as well as it was a little high up off the ground for her. I am 6 foot tall and even I had some trouble getting in. Maybe place a small stool in the room and it would have been fine.

Pros: Just a perfect example of a Victorian home! Comfortable and homey. Delicious breakfast and just the most genuine, warm host and hostess I’ve maybe ever met!!

Pros: The location is good as we use public transportation, such as buses, and there are several routes nearby (bus stops within easy walking distance) and not long to wait for the bus. We took buses to the museums, mainly. We liked the historic building, built in 1875, with all the architecturual features from then (wood, stained glass, fireplace surround, etc). but definitely appreciated the modernized bathroom with loads of hot water in the shower.

Cons: While breakfast is satisfactory, they are into making combinations (waffle with bacon, potato and eggs in it, and the next day, scrambled eggs with onion and gruyere cheese and peppers) so if there's an ingredient you can't eat, there's not an alternative. Although they did have hard boiled eggs at hand that we put on toast. Coffee was very weak and the only way to get a strong cup is to use the instant mix! Or go upstairs to the Keurig maker and use a Keurig cup.

Pros: I arrived after a long flight and it was like arriving home or at a favourite Aunt's. It was quiet, warm, welcoming, beautifully furnished. The bed was heavenly. I loved going down for breakfast, food was freshly made, lovely atmosphere.

Cons: I didn't have a hairdryer, that was all.

Pros: Charming room, although lots of steps. Nice to have the bar next door (with discount coupons). We brought our drinks back to the hotel sitting room with the fireplace...lovely!The location couldn't be better. We walked everywhere!

Cons: We arrived early and were told that our suitcases would be put in our room. When we came back after dinner, the suitcases were still by the check-in desk. We shlepped them up the stairs.

Pros: Historic home beautifully decorated and located in heritage district giving great access to historical spots.

Pros: I loved the location, the historic feel of the house, the furnishings and our very spacious room. We had a very good breakfast too.

Cons: We loved everything about it. I cannot fault it at all

Pros: Historical Decor

Cons: Breakfast was weak

Pros: Room,food, people, service excellent; great location for seeing historic area on foot; we will be back soon

Cons: Nothing could be better

Pros: its character

Cons: lacked public space

Pros: Absolutely beautiful. Will stay again when staying in Philadelphia.

Cons: N/A

Pros: It was a perfect location. A few minutes walk to where my testing center was.

Cons: My room was over the restaurant in the hotel. Around 10:30 pm I could hear them emptying out trash cans and general cleaning that has to be done. For most people this won't be a problem, but for my situation it was.

Pros: Location and free glass of wine.

Cons: Parking. Have to pay for ins and outs. Very expensive.

Pros: The historic aspects of the hotel are significant, but the outstanding hospitality stood for itself. I would definitely return.

Pros: The courtyard was beautiful and I liked that the fireplaces were going. The bed was very comfortable. Enjoyed having the beverages and cookies available. The table setting for breakfast was very nice.

Cons: I couldn't plug my phone in next to my bed. Breakfast was a disappointment — lemon pound cake was hard, eggs were overcooked. Service was good but not warm. The vibe in the dining room was very awkward — not your fault but no one talked to each other. Maybe play background music?

Pros: It was quaint, clean, large room size, staff was very friendly, and love the history behind the hotel. It was also very quiet, in that you didn't hear neighboring guests. The library was also very nice. It was very relaxing & quiet hotel.

Cons: It would have been nice if there was valet parking since you must park in the parking garage across the street. The free breakfast was average. It would have been nice if there was a healthier variety (i.e. fresh fruit).

Pros: The helpfulness of the owner in helping us with suggested activities and shortcuts. She knew great places to see and where to eat. We did what she said and it turned out great. We had not.been to the Philadelphia area before. Her breakfast fare is ample with fresh fruits and special breads and cereals. She does a great job. Ultra close and convenient location next to trains.

Cons: No significant deficiencies. Gang bathroom, but everyone is friendly and it works just fine.

Cons: My parents came out to Philadelphia with me to help me find a place to live. The Burbridge St. B&B had a room available for 3 people and served breakfast for a decent price. It seemed like a great deal. However, the price for the room was not worth the emotional stress, uncleanliness of the house, moldy breakfast, and overall unpleasantness of Ms. Hague. Here are my grievances: 1. A cat roams the premises. - It is only mentioned in the Information section of her website that she has a cat that roams the premise, and the text is buried. So, if you are allergic to cats, DO NOT stay here. When she led us to our room, the cat followed and jumped on to our bed. There was cat hair on our bed, floor and towels. 2. The parlor room advertises enough room for 3 people. However, the double bed is not big enough for 2 people. - The room plus the cot should have been advertised as enough room for 2 people, not 3. I ended up sleeping on the love seat in the room my entire stay. 3. Breakfast was moldy. - We were served moldy cantaloupe, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. The cherries were "hairy" with mold. The milk was chunky. The bread was previously frozen and looked a few years old. 4. She speaks unkindly of past guests - She told us stories about guests who were "fat whales" and "obsese-350-pound teenagers." 5. She scolded and embarrassed guests in front of other guests. 6. She accused me of breaking her chair and wanted to charge me $75 to repair it - Weighing 130 lbs., I was sitting in her antique dining chair, which broke off a piece of wood and showed a crack between the spindle and back of the chair. She asked me if it was broke and cussed at me with the F-bomb. She then scolded me in front of guests and demanded me pay $75 to repair it. I told her no, to which she told me to “get out of her house” and to “join the list of thieves.” 7. You share a bathroom with her and other guests. Needless to say, my stay at the Burbridge St. B&B was not a comfortable and restful one. The trip was already stressful due to looking for a home in a new city, but Ms. Hague’s unkind treatment and poor hospitality towards me and my family only added more stress to our trip. She is not a kind woman, and I do not recommend this place to even my worst enemy. The Burbridge St. B&B is dirty, cluttered, unsanitary, and unwelcoming. Do not spend your money or your time at this place. You will be disappointed.
