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.

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!

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 place was okay but not worth the money. Also, they need to make it clear that it’s self service and no elevator.

This is not a hotel. It’s an AirBnB. No staff on site only a phone number to call for assistance. My husband accidentally went to the wrong room as the password opened all the room doors.

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.

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

I booked a room for four adults at Society Hill Hotel for a one-night stay (March 28–29). Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing enough that we chose to leave and find another hotel. Upon entering the room, we were immediately surprised by how small it was, especially given that it was advertised to accommodate four adults. More concerning, the room did not match the photos shown on the Expedia listing, which felt misleading. We initially considered staying since it was only for one night, but safety became a major concern. The bunk bed railing had stripped screws and visible cracks in the wood, making it unstable and wobbly. This made us uncomfortable using the top bunk, as it did not feel secure. Additionally, the thermostat could not be adjusted. The room was set to 72°F but felt hot and stuffy, which added to the overall discomfort. Due to the combination of misleading listing photos, lack of space, safety concerns with the bunk bed, and inability to control the room temperature, we decided to cancel our stay and book accommodations elsewhere. We were looking forward to a comfortable place to return to after a night out, but unfortunately this property did not meet expectations. That said, we do appreciate that after contacting the staff, they were responsive and allowed us to cancel the reservation immediately with a full refund, which made the situation much easier to handle.
