Really cute place with lots of character! It’s a great location. The heated toilets and heated bathroom floor was a nice addition.

Being able to text with the front desk staff about our needs made it really easy to communicate before arrival and when we were not physically at the hotel!

We were staying two nights in Old city to celebrate my wife’s birthday and decided to stay at the hotel with our two children. The hotel is beautiful and you can really see the history building in the decor. Our boys enjoyed the bunk beds, heated toilet, and large shower. Unfortunately, that is where are the positives end. We ended up leaving the hotel the same night because the hot water and thermostat was not working. It was a rainy chilly night and we looked forward to a warm shower and hated the fact my son took a cold shower. The hotel refunded our money, but figuring out alternate plans really left a sour taste in our mouth. I would not recommend this hotel and have learned my lesson to only stay at hotels with an on site receptionist. Having to community over text was not great and couldn’t really help us till the morning.

Smart Use of Space.
Loved this small space. Warm tile bathroom, comfy bed, immersed in the history of the space. Clever use of small space: hooks and shelves and tiny desks when you need them. Smart. Beautiful.

Overall, I had an amazing stay! If you're looking for a place right in the city center of Philadelphia--this is perfect for you! The hotel and restaurant are newly remodeled and the room I had was absolutely beautiful! The bathroom was state of the art and the bed was very comfy. It also had a new record player, wifi, and nice flat screen tv. The restaurant also had GREAT food! A special thanks to Jhene (Manager), Gregory (Bartender), and Brian (Owner) for making my stay truly enjoyable. I will definitely come back!

The person in the phone was amazing and very helpful. The accommodations could’ve been nicer. Bathroom and room had a lot of wear and very bad lighting

EXTREMELY small rooms, no storage in the bedroom or bathroom for luggage or toiletries. My husband and I both have bruises from squeezing past the bed. The shower was aesthetically pleasing but not practical.
I was also under the impression that I was booking a hotel not an airbnb. We wanted to drop our bags off before check-in but there isn’t a front desk.

Lovely part of the city- quirky old building & room. Code didnt work to get into the room which we were rescued by the guys in the bar - couldn’t get in touch with anyone. Room comfortable but slightly lacking in essentials- 1 cup , 1 coffee sachet, 2 towels for 3 of us all staying…shower was freezing the whole time we stayed which wasn’t great!
Tried to request late check out via message as we were doing marathon but no response at all still.
Guys in the pub downstairs were great help though throughout & food/ drinks were lovely.

The idea of a simple place to stay where you don't need a key, just a code is good. Execution was poor. Code to get into my room was sent to the wrong phone. Shower only had about 2 minutes of hot water. The toilet really didn't need to be remote operated.
