Philadelphia Hotels near Kimmel Center

Location was great and rooms were overall quite clean. A little beaten up, but otherwise quaint. Lobby bar and front desk staff were very nice.

Someone trying to get into our room in the middle of the night and the cleaning staff thinking 830 am is an okay time to come clean the room.

Parking was easy, front desk staff was polite and helpful - but housekeeping was loud and crass outside of our room in the early hours. Be careful if you are located in room 1602 - the housekeeping staff 'breakroom' is right outside your door.

Directions for ice would have been nice - rather than the scavenger hunt I ended up going on.

Everything. Service, quality .

Towels could be upgraded.

Everything, happy staff, welcoming, clean rooms, awesome views, definitely would recommend this hotel.

Continental breakfast served in the room at time I choose

Great location for walking to restaurants and activities

My wife and I were very favorably impressed with the Independent Hotel. The building itself has historic charm. The setup is a bit eclectic, with a small entryway to the elevator up to the lobby. The rooms are quite spacious and well appointed. The staff couldn't be more welcoming and enthusiastic. In addition, the hotel is near some very fine restaurants and attractions. We walked everywhere. Our visit was terrific. We look forward to coming again and we will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

Staff were all personable and helpful. Room was appointed nicely.

The sound insulation between rooms that share a door is poor.

Room was very clean. Comfortable bed. Staff was friendly and attentive via phone to front desk.

Thin walls. Reception desk was slow as molasses. Possibly understaffed. Check-in on the computer took way too long especially having already provided all my details online. Dried creamer packets for the coffee in room is disgusting.

The staff were all super friendly and eager to help. The rooms are small but plenty big enough to sleep and have some walking space. EXCELLENT location. Wonderful restaurants and nightlife steps from the door but not overly noisy. Historic areas were within walking distance. Old City was walkable, but a bit farther than some may be comfortable walking however Uber is available within moments of request. The rooms have had a makeover, not the best quality contractor as some things are coming off the wall but overall the appearance is nice for a budget friendly hotel.

No fans and no room air conditioner. The AC/heater is controlled from each hallway. Our room was stifling hot so we walked the two blocks to the Target and picked up a $20 box fan. The front desk girl turned the AC down even more which helped the temperature greatly and our fan kept the air circulation going and dried our hand washed laundry.

Very convenient location and helpful staff.

My room had a window without a view; therefore the room did receive direct sunlight. As I didn't visit the city during vacation, this was not a big drawback.

Awesome building champagne at checkin have had many enjoyable and memorable stays.

Understaffed, poor service sub par to other Ritz hotels. We were provided with wrong room on arrival. Room was somewhat dated and curtains had large weird stains on them. Carpet in room was also stained making it feel dirty. Restaurant service was horrible / waited 40 mins for a table then waited another 15 mins to get acknowledged by staff. Used express checkout, left some negative comments and asked for emailed updated portfolio via email - never received. I've had better service and value for money in other not so "refined" hotels.

The manager took great care of us after she was told about our disappointments. She was wonderful and made our second night much better than the first. Most of the other staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The facility is extremely old along with the heating/air conditioning units. Our sheets had a hole in them. Had disappointment with 2 staff members who were a bit rude. Felt the crowd that hung out in the hotel bar and/or were staying at the hotel were a bit trashy. For the price per night, we could stay at the Sofitel or Four Seasons and get better accommodations.

Rooms were spacious and staff helpful.

Location

The location and amenities made available were a terriffic value. The staff and service was first class

Great small hotel! The location is superb. Close to Philadelphia's sites, restaurants, and shopping; but a very quiet side street in the heart of the city. The staff was very helpful, considerate, but not overbearing. The white wine reception was a very nice touch.

The only problem was that the room air conditioner was loud.

Place is perfect after recent renovation but I did have a promlem with the staff not calling me back after I left something in my room. So far three days later no one has called back to tell me one way or the other what happened to my toiletries

The business center had only one p.c. to surf the Internet.

Friendly staff. Good location.

$50 for valet parking. Still not sure where they parked the car....

The hotel was pet friendly

Hotel need a pool

The Sofitel in Philadelphia is in a great location. It has beautifully appointed rooms, and the staff are gracious and warm.

Typically, I feel very comfortable in any room I stay in. However this time, the air conditioner didn't work properly, and the shower didn't drain properly. It did dampen my enjoyment of the hotel.

The staff and service were impeccable.

I LOVED being able to get seltzer water in the lobby 24/7 and I loved the coffee machine in the lobby, too! The computer workspaces in the lobby were also very, very helpful. It didn't have a lot of silly extras -- the rooms were spare but completely adequate. The maids actually left the towels alone if they were hanging (so they weren't laundered needlessly).

My husband complained that the bathroom was so cramped and that he had to hold the toilet seat up when he wanted to pee. The fridge was in a cabinet which wasn't installed so well so it was tricky to close.

Great staff.

The listing mentioned free parking. It was not- only 35% off

Not a good bed at all. Otherwise everything was pretty good. Nothing special though.

My room had everything I needed. The location is excellent. The hotel offers free wifi and hot breakfast.

They charged me $70 for incidentals at check in without telling me about the amount. I noticed it, because my credit card company emailed me about the charge. Also there was a strange charge ($0.01) after check out. I need to figure out what it was for.

So Good~

The room was very comfortable. The location is great. the price was very reasonable and the staff very nice.

The room was a little bit noisy during evenings and nights. I think it would be nice to put double glazing.

I had a quick one night stay in Philadelphia and chose the beautiful Westin. My room was first class,and service was exceptional. I will definitely stay here again .

The bed was really nice.

The toilet seat needed to be replaced.

The room was very comfortable and yet stylish. The location is absolutely perfect. The highlight of our stay was the incredibly attentive and friendly staff. We highly recommend staying at Loews Philadelphia Hotel!

Location was prefect for walking around town to all the sites

Too big if anything. 8 minutes to get to/from room

The hotel does not offer Reward points when I book through Kayak

The hotel was beautiful, the employees were very kind, and the room was perfect for our overnight stay. We walked to the Reading terminal market, and we were across the street from the subway station. Couldn't have asked for a better location!

The valet parking was a bit pricey but it was very convenient and no stress.

This was out 4th time staying and it was just as before. Clean friendly convenient and FANCY!

It's a little hard to grab a cab/uber out front, but that's the city. No reflection on the hotel at all.

Beautiful spa and facilities

The restaurant closes too early.

Wonderful service, beautiful hotel. The beds and linens are very comfortable, as are the bath robes they lay out for you. We were celebrating a birthday and the extra touches were very much appreciated. The rooms can use a bit of updating, but all in all it was an excellent experience and will likely return again next year for another birthday celebration!

Noisy and crowded they day we were there a plain clean serviceable hotel

Two things. Our room was between two college kid rooms with multiple tennants. They were polite but busy Other was we went to happy hour and the price was not honored

clean, nice staff, secured parking, spacious rooms, microwaves in room, no smoking, comfortable bed and sheets

Daily parking was over $40/night
