Beautiful place to stay. There was a slight mixup and someone else walked into our suite after we had already arrived, but the staff took care of it and apologized profusely.
Easy to book, great pre-arrival helpful communications, easy self-check in, exquisitely gorgeous room, bathroom and amenities, quiet, right in the heart of the historic neighborhood and easy self-check out. Nice little courtyard to drink your coffee or plan your day. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the Gas Lamp Hotel.
Decently-sized, clean, comfortable room with all the basic amenities and fluffy towels. I would only caution any visitors who will struggle with stairs to be sure to get the room on the ground floor.
The place was awesome, the pictures were good but to see it in person it was beautiful. We had handicap parking right out front of the building, plenty of shops to walk too and eat. We used uber to go to dinner and Rivers Casino. Was a great weekend for the family.
The good:
A very cozy hotel with comfortable outdoor areas that feel secure and peaceful. The antique aesthetics feel very at home in the Old City area and the amenities offered are excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and will be returning here on future trips if possible.
The not great:
Check in instructions could have been much more clear. The lack of any staff on the premises made it difficult to get answers to questions. My party and multiple other guests that we observed had to wonder around the hotel until stumbling upon their room by chance.
Great location in walking distance to historic sites and local restaurants. Clean and comfortable, unique decor. Would stay here again. Minor difficulties communicating with property for check in information.
It’s a beautifully renovated townhouse turned boutique hotel. Had the pleasure of staying in the Edison suite which felt like having my own apartment in the heart of Old City. Highly recommend, just make sure you follow the online check-in instructions prior to arrival as there’s no front desk/reception.
Beautiful room with wonderful amenities. Just a little noisy with guests coming down the stairwell before 5am (the guests’ fault though, not the hotel’s!) and I had some issues getting the aircon to switch off and/or warm up, but otherwise a glorious stay in a delightful setting and I would love to stay next time I’m in Philly.
