Top Drexel University Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the hotel overall, but I wish the tv was updated. It’s 2026 and the tv was not a smart tv and had local channels only. This turned me off as a customer and I probably wouldn’t stay again due to that. I left my MacBook and iPad at home thinking the hotel at least had Netflix, but nope! Major turn off smh"

DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City

8/10 Good

"The hotel is conveniently located not far from City Hall. It was university graduation time while I was there which made for a lively crowd and a very busy foyer at times. The staff was efficient but not overly friendly and maintenance issues took more than 24 hours to be addressed. The room was spacious but showing its age a little. The bed was huge and quite comfortable but the air-conditioning unit and fridge were so noisy that I needed to turn them off in order to sleep. I was a bit concerned that a room overlooking Broad Street would be too noisy for a light sleeper as the windows are not double glazed, but with the electrical items turned off, it was reasonably quiet on the 15th floor. The gym is one of the better ones I’ve seen in a hotel, with lots of weights options and a few machines. It was great having chilled water in the foyer available at all times given the hot weather."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"The facility was clean, well cared for and the service was great. I appreciated the hot beverage bar in the lobby which was always well stocked and open. The facility itself is older and quirky but it added to the charm. I would definitely stay here again."

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Stayed and attended a conference there. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was comfortable and clean. Can't comment on regular dining as I didn't use it but conference catering was good. Only gripe is that the elevator capacity doesn't seem to cope well you can wait a long time to get up and down to your room. Well located for reading terminal market ."
