This is an amazing hotel. The staff - from front desk to all maids we encountered - were outstanding. The room was very comfortable and very clean. Public parking lot is right next door. They are a little expensive at $35 per night but very convenient. The hotel is within walking distance to many tourist attractions. There is a great restaurant right at the hotel. Muffins and coffee were provided in the morning. They were very fresh and good. The only downside to the hotel was the noise from the highway. At times I felt as if I were trying to sleep right next to a formula one race track. Overall a very nice hotel. I would stay again but request a room on the opposite side of the highway.

Great little hotel!!
The wife and I usually visit Philadelphia just for the day but this time we spent the night. The Penn's View Hotel was a great choice to stay the night. Antonio was super nice, polite and fun to interact with. He alone bumped it from a 4 star review to a 5 star review for us. Rooms were just the right size, beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Older hotel, seriously, this adds to ambiance and the character. Certainly nothing wrong and you wont miss the a-typical layout and furnishings of newer, corporate hotels. Barely heard any traffic, so that was a bonus. I think we will keep this place as a favorite. :)

Friendly place and basic facilities as it’s a 3 star hotel. Our room was quiet as not close to the freeway but downside meant that there was only a view of a wall and the room was dark.

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.
