Top The Palestra Hotel Reviews

Aloft by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was very close to the venue that I was attending an event at the location is spot one for Sun City Philadelphia. It’s very close to plenty of eateries and restaurants within walking distance."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well appointed. Bed was very comfortable and the free wine and cheese plus live music at night was a lovely bonus."

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, Kitchen was extremely useful, staff super friendly and helpful, location was great, literally walked everywhere"

Cambria Hotel Philadelphia Downtown - Center City

8/10 Good

"The Cambria is excellently located on Broad Street just south of the Philadelphia City Hall. There are numerous restaurants nearby, and the hotel is located on and between subway and bus lines that got us everywhere we wanted to go from the Delaware to Rittenhouse Square and along Broad Street. There are three elevators in the lobby, but only one was working during our stay. We were glad our room was on the third floor, though we enjoyed a previous stay on a higher floor in large measure for the view toward the river. The 30th Street Station is a short Uber ride or a ride on the public transportation system. Waits for the SEPTA trains can be long, though the buses run more frequently."

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Walking distance to a lot of shopping and restaurants. Close to downtown."

W Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Great location with great views. The lighting inside the property is a little dark but thats"

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was very accommodating. The room was clean and made up daily . The $8.00 bottle of water was disturbing . The breakfast buffet for $59.00 was not worth it . Every item I took from the chafing dishes was cold and not edible . I therefore paid $59.00 for an omelette and a fruit cup . The choices were meant to satisfy but being cold they were not edible."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to the convention center and other points of interest in the city."

Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for a quick overnight. Staff was friendly and helpful on the best food location in walking distance. Parking was easy and the rooms were lovely!"
