Great location. The only thing this hotel doesn't have is a pool. Not having access to a pool in the summer was disappointing. It's nice to have a pool day, go to the pool for a bit before dinner, or go sit by the pool for a drink before bed. I highly recommend staying at The Kimpton Monaco. It's a great location with a lot an amazing staff.

Awesome for a wide selection of lunch/dinner options. I also really liked how it's on a quieter street which makes pick ups and drop offs less chaotic. Overall this was an excellent choice for me and I plan on returning next summer when I have my next appt.

She was social, hospitable and provided recommendations for different things in the city. The hotel is convenient to everything and very walkable. We had a time! The room is spacious enough for two people and has a modern decor. The decor throughout the hotel, however, is like an ode to hip hop culture. If you know me, I love sneakers, hip hop and everything that is the culture! The decor speaks specifically to Philly icons -- Will Smith, Meek Mill, The Roots, Jilly from Philly (Jill Scott), etc. Whoever was the interior decorator did a great job with honoring those icons and the hip hop scene. The restaurant inside the hotel was great too. I don't have any complaints besides the steep valet prices. I will visit again.

Ideal for privacy but a shared space. Location is superb. Walking distance of everything in downtown Philadelphia, old town, and all the historical areas. Rittenhouse Square is a large urban park surrounded by upper scale restaurants, coffee shops and all the usual urban amenities. Hotel doors open just across the street from the park. The Hotel staff were extremely friendly and always helpful. The Hotel is more boutique feeling with a bar to your right as you enter and a swanky restuarant to the left. The room had a small kitchen, large common area and two very nice bedrooms both with their own bathroom. I do recommend.

B It's the a.k.a. residence that has a little bit of a pretentious attitude about them. They have a 30 day policy to sign a lease if you say for more than 29 days. I stay there for two days. Then two weeks later I tried to stay there for one day and they wanted me to fill out a credit check and background check even though I paid upfront. I had to get them to refund my money immediately. I was so upset with Brittany that I had to hang up the phone on her. She told me that if I don't fill out the application, I can't stay there for the night. I was so disappointed & I felt like I was being discriminated against for some reason or another. The ambience is amazing. The room are stellar. I just don't care for Brittany.

This hotel was perfect in every way…read more We stayed in the Matilde room on the first floor for one night. This room is spacious and has a kitchenette. During my stay I did not see anyone else in the building at all, which is a bit strange, but I actually loved it. The "invisible service" was actually very diligent and good at keeping everything tidy. The entire place was super clean. Starting with the best things first: The bed gave me the most comfortable night's sleep I've ever had. And the shower and bathroom provided the best hotel shower I've ever had. Aside from that, my favorite things were the many special details. Some of those include the baked snacks left in our room (coffee cake & lemon coconut bar), the filtered and sparkling water available on tap in the lobby, the text message concierge, the extra towels in the bathroom (6), and the period authentic decor. When I booked our stay it wasn't super clear about what's included in the kitchenette. Ours had a very roomy mini fridge with wine rack, electric tea kettle, coffee maker, microwave, plates, bowls, glasses, utensils, mixing bowls, cutting board, and other things.

I could wax poetic about this historical city but will stick to the Guild House. This very old building has been gently, carefully restored and updated then decorated with period furniture and antique decor when possible. The bed was the most comfortable one we have ever slept in. The spacious rooms simply invite you in. How many hotels provide delicate china tea cups? Special snacks?

On a more practical level..something we always want to know is, can you do all this without a car? Absolutely. Train from Philadelphia airport, public transportation or on foot to almost all the important sights. We are mid-70s to mid-80s years old.

TL;DR: Great space, but probably wouldn't stay here again mainly due to noise…read more I first heard of this place via Google AI before checking Google, Yelp, and Reddit reviews. Not as much feedback as larger hotel chains, but everything I found was pretty positive. For the dates I was booking I had 2 ground-floor options available, one facing Front St., and another facing the rear. I chose the rear to reduce street noise. First impression of this place was amazing. The space felt more like a tastefully decorated studio apartment than a hotel. The appliances are modern, bathroom spacious, and everything seemingly clean. However, there were 2 immediate issues that put me off a bit: Firstly, I booked an extra day due to arriving on a red-eye with the hopes that the room would be good-to-go in order to catch up on some rest. However, I noticed right away that the HVAC was turned off and it was a fairly cold morning. I turned on the heat, but after waiting 2 hours there was no noticeable change in temperature. I will say the hotel was very responsive to my text messages, and were able to fix the issue remotely once I did reach out. Secondly, none of the outlets in the unit worked. I'm unsure if was related to the HVAC problem, but I was eventually able to locate the circuit breaker and noticed the circuits for the outlets were either tripped or turned off. Between the HVAC and electrical issues- any hope I had on catching up on rest was destroyed. The final issue that sealed the deal for me not returning was the noise. In fairness, our unit(#2) is adjacent to not only the main entrance, but also the rear faces a common space. There is a little patio/garden area that at first glance seems like it might be private, but due to a lack of a gate/door- I presume it is a common space. Look, I lived in NYC for a decade and am no stranger to noise, but this was beyond tolerable. During both nights we stayed, but especially the first night where we were already sleep deprived, noise was a huge issue for my partner and I. Between the hours of 1am to 3:30am 2 drunk guys entered and exited at least a dozen times. I don't know if they were on a coked up, late-night scavenger hunt or what, but what I do know is one was named Will from hearing it repeatedly. At 2:30am they decided it was a good time to stand outside our window rambling about nothing. We were able to fall asleep around 4am to be woken up promptly at 6am with music blasting and someone shouting. I don't know if the morning noise was from a nearby business or another guest, but the end result was no more than 2 hours of sleep before a wedding. I texted the hotel and they again responded very promptly saying they'd look into it, but I never received any follow up. EDIT: No such follow up was promised to me, but would have been helpful. All in all, the space itself is fantastic and hotel very responsive, but due to a few misses in attention to detail and the noise, I would not return to this location. Also, look- I understand that noise from other guests is beyond the immediate control of the hotel staff. The staff was responsive, friendly, and helpful. The review reflects only my willingness to recommend another person stay here based on my experience, and not at all on the staff. EDIT: In response to the reply from the hotel: I just checked my phone and email and can confirm that I did not receive any such follow up. Perhaps it was to the wrong number? Either way I did appreciate the quick responses. I also changed from 2 star to 3. 2 is too harsh given the crux of my complaint was beyond the hotel's control- and given the staff's friendliness.

It was the most cleanest place I have ever stayed & especially during Covid times. The staff was both super helpful and accommodating.

Their guest experience is the most important and they were totally attentive to our needs. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Right underneath the train in Fishtown but it wasn't an issue whatsoever, actually very relaxing to have the sound at night. I wish there were Stay Lokal's on the West Coast! They need more of you there. Thank you so much, would absolutely stay over & over.

Beautiful to have but the sun will make the apartment very warm even when the air is cranked high. Also the dyer takes a very long time to dry, it steams your clothes instead.

It has all the convenience of home like a full kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and even spices, cable, wifi and fully furnished. Will the manager was very helpful with checking in and making sure everything was fine. There's also a fitness room and a outdoor space for entertaining. Its in a great location with amazing restaurants and bars. Pet friendly place but no space for your fur babies to handle their business. I would stay there again.

We were well aware that the hotel is minimalistic and doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles; however, we felt like the minimum things a hotel should provide were not provided to us. The air conditioner wasn't working when we got back to our hotel room after a night out in the city. We had set it to 68 and when we returned, the thermometer was still reading 77. We called down to the front desk for assistance and was told that she would check if engineering was available, yet we never heard back from anyone the entire night. When we checked in, we were told that there is someone available 24/7 for any assistance and we learned that this was not the case. Also at check out, we were never asked how our stay was, and our air conditioning issue was never even mentioned which shows that our issue/complaint fell on deaf ears. Overall, it was a very disappointing stay, especially for the price point. The hotel didn't seem like it was ready for opening week and should not be charging the prices it's charging for the level of service provided. For just a little bit more, we could've stayed somewhere nicer. We will definitely not be staying here again.

The check-in process was easy, and I was able to buy toothpaste and water at the desk. They have a few toiletries and snacks available for ~$1 - very convenient. After payment and a quick introduction I was shown to my bunk bed in a mixed dorm room of eight. Everybody was sleeping, and I appreciated the bathrooms being outside the bedroom, so I didn't have to wake anyone. There were three sinks in an open area, and two bathrooms with shower that you can lock. Everything was basic, but clean. Got sheets and a towel, and had a decent night (there was a snorer in the room :).) The mattress was on the soft side, wish it was firmer. The hostel location is super convenient, and close to everything. I felt safe, and it's off the main road. You'll hear some traffic and pedestrians walking outside, but nothing crazy. When you check-out, all you have to do is strip the bed and leave. Overall, an enjoyable experience. Paid $70 for the night, which is a lot for a bunk bed, but it's still one of the cheapest options in town.
