I loved the vintage decor, the comfortable bed, the spaciousness and cleanliness of the room. I did not like that there were no towel bars or hooks to hang your towel and wash cloth in the bathroom, also the hallow walls I could hear the people above my room walking and moving around and people talking in the hallway during the night. outside of that the staff was very friendly and the area was nice and quiet.

OMG, I cannot rave enough about the Panaroma (Penn’s View) Hotel. I thought I booked a King Suite with a Juliet balcony, but I guess there was a mix-up. Regardless, the Inn Manager, Antonio, made everything better by booking us what he considered the “Honeymoon Suite”…and boy did he wow us. It was soooo cute and romantic. I talked about it all weekend. Skylights, a jacuzzi tub, a nice fluffy king bed, and a great view. What more could you ask for? We’d just missed Reading Terminal upon arrival. So, we had dinner in the hotel to save the hassle. Definitely a vibe! Soft lighting, great menu selection, and attentive staff. We had shrimp scampi for the appetizer, my husband had the NY Strip, and I had the Veal. We finished the night off with the chocolate cake, and everything was great. We literally sent our compliments to chef afterwards. There is so much more to say, but not enough space to say it. Please go check it out for yourself. You will really be glad you did!

Great Old City location. Walkable to many historic sites and also right near the Market-Frankford line, so it's very easy to catch the El, transfer to the Broad St line for events at the Sports Complex in S. Philly. There is a parking lot right next door, $35/night when we were there, but it's got a weird leave your key system and you could get parked in. There's a regular multi-level garage less than 2 blocks away at 2nd and Chestnut that's cheaper ($26/night) and we feel was more convenient for coming and going. The hotel is not cookie-cutter, rooms are unique and our king room was spacious. The two minor nitpicks were the A/C which blew right onto the bed and could not be easily re-directed or adjusted, and also the sheets were pilly in spots. We probably should have asked for new sheets, but we were busy having fun in the city. We also ate at the hotel's Italian restaurant. Very good food and cocktails. We visit Philly a lot and this place will be on the repeat list.

What a neighborhood gem this is! My wife found it on the Internet, mainly because it was convenient to the concert venue we were attending, but what a score! Charming, elegant, very well appointed suites, unique and extraordinary. And the restaurant/wine bar was amazing! Highly recommend.

Nice small hotel adjacent to highway so constant roar of traffic but fairly quiet in your room. Nice welcoming staff. Spotlessly clean room. Buses within feet of the hotel taking you to many places in downtown Philadelphia. 15 minute walk to the outdoor bus station for buses to New York and Washington DC. I liked the hotel because of its location near public transportation and would stay here again. Good value.
