Top Olde Kensington Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"We always stay at Embassy Suites when traveling. This property could used a upgraded. Only one elevator was working. There was a roach in our shower. But I must say the front desk personal, breakfast staff were AMAZING!!"

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was wonderful. Wonderful buffet or menu items. Staff was also very welcoming and helpful. Only downside to our room was it is showing its age though all in working condition. Also the beds for 4 person room were doubles not queens. A little tight. Location was right near Rittenhouse square which was great! Overall a good place to stay."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were excellent! Very nice, helpful, went out of their way to make suggestions on places to visit. The complementary breakfast & beer/wine/cheese in the evening was very good. Laundry facilities were nice, front desk had pods and dryer sheets available."
