5.0 star rating | The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was located near everything I needed to be near. I would happily stay here again. | 01 February 2012 | ||
4.5 star rating | Nice hotel, friendly staff members, and convenient location | I was surprised that there is not a refrigerator in the hotel room. | Kitty | 18 January 2012 |
4.5 star rating | Great location, in walking distance to a lot of the attractions. | Wish they had an indoor pool. They only have an outdoor pool which is closed during the off season. Kids were bummed about that. | 27 February 2012 | |
4.5 star rating | Parking was our main problem. it was very expensive and there was no hourly parking around Crown Plaza. | 03 April 2012 | ||
4.5 star rating | Very good location. Convenient for all sight seeing. Funky restaurants within literally 2 mins walk. Concierge Qadir was particularly helpful and organised a trip to Atlantic city NJ for us . Philadelphia is well worth a visit . | Room coins have done with a coat of paint and noisy people upstairs were a problem until sorted out by the hotel staff. To be fair there were posters everywhere showing the refurb plans for the rooms and public areas in 2013/14. | Daveba | 06 April 2013 |
5.0 star rating | The house keeping was great . | 31 May 2013 | ||

4.0 star rating | Nice bed and pillows | Parking too expensive | Jane | 29 June 2013 |
5.0 star rating | Excellent location, very helpful and friendly staff who will take care of you from the minute you arrive. Highly recommended hotel and restaurant. | Morphy | 14 July 2013 | |
4.5 star rating | I was really surprised that it was allowed to smoke in the pool area. I expects that four star hotels respects children and smokers right to a smoke-free environment. | 18 July 2013 | ||
5.0 star rating | We really enjoyed our stay. Everybody on the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Excellent hotel! | None. | John K | 07 August 2013 |
2.0 star rating | It is well-located if you want to be in central Philadelphia | Hard to know where to start. The bathroom in our room was so teensy that you had to do the vertical limbo to close the door. The "in-room coffee" consisted of one cup of regular and one cup of decaf. The wifi was so slow that it made me feel nostalgic for dialup. It had a generally shabby look, and I would not recommend it. | Sonesta not the besta | 26 July 2013 |
4.0 star rating | Excellent value-for-money at that location, right down-town. Elephant | Need to upgrade the TVs in the rooms! | 19 August 2013 | |
3.5 star rating | Great location | Needs upgrading | 21 October 2013 | |
3.0 star rating | Das Hotel liegt einigermaÃen zentral, nahe bei einer Zugstation. Fahrzeit zum Flughafen etwa 20 Minuten. Das Personal ist kompetent, hilfsbereit und höflich. Wifi ist kostenlos verfügbar und hinreichhend schnell. Ansonsten Standard-Ausstattung, mit Bügeleisen etc. Hotel ist einigermaÃen ruhig, ich wr ungestört. | Das Sonesta verfolgt aktuell eine strikte Nichtraucherpolitik. Mein Zimmer (905) hatte allerdings einen dezidierten und sehr unangenehmen Rauchgeruch, wohl "aus alten Tagen". Fenster können nicht geöffnet werden, um Abhilfe zu schaffen. Einrichtung etwas veraltet, Betten eher schlicht. Röhrenfernseher. Nasszelle winzig und sauber, könnte aber auch einmal eine Auffrischung vertragen. Resümee: Für den Preis (75 Euro) zu teuer, ein gutes, vergleichbares Motelzimmer ist ab 40 Euro zu haben, allerdings leider nicht im Stadtzentrum. | 31 August 2013 | |
5.0 star rating | Nice rooms and great staff | 23 August 2013 | ||
4.5 star rating | Good location,friendly staff,good sized rooms and comfy beds | You want the truth ! Here it is, On balance good value because the rooms need updating,not dirty but like going to stay at your grans as in there's nothing wrong with them but just from a different era | Billy the kid | 23 August 2013 |
5.0 star rating | Very good hotel for very good price, clean, comfortable, very good location in center city | natasha | 26 August 2013 | |
5.0 star rating | I was very pleased with the service and the room. I have arrived at 5AM in the morning and I have been received right . I have reserved a run of the house room and it was exactly what I needed, even had a great view. | Nothing really. | Diana | 14 September 2013 |
4.0 star rating | Excellent value for money for a downtown location. Good WiFi throughout. | Need to upgrade the A/V (old TVs) in the rooms. | 16 September 2013 | |
3.5 star rating | zentrale Lage | 12 September 2013 | ||
5.0 star rating | Great hotel in midtown Philadelphia. You don´t need a bus or car you can walk everywhere. The employees were very friendly and helpful and the room was really nice. It was clean and comfortable. Another great thing was the outdoor pool in the 8th floor. Everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay in Philadelphia, especially because of the hotel. We can really recommend the Sonesta. | 12 October 2013 | ||
4.5 star rating | This hotel is in a really good location for getting to all the main places to see in Philadelphia, and is also really close to City Center bars, restaurants and shopping. The room we had was nothing too fancy but was clean and had all of the basic stuff that you need, including coffee that was restocked daily. We were really impressed with the staff who were always friendly, and one in particular went out of his to offer tips for local running routes when he saw us heading out for a jog one morning. The main thing about this hotel is that if offers you good value for money in a city center location in a really cool city! | On the Saturday night some of the other guests were being particularly loud in nearby rooms. Not the hotels fault as such, but might be worth considering if you like the quiet life! | Dan H | 03 November 2013 |
4.5 star rating | Staff were very professional and helpful.Despite the ongoing refurbishment our stay was pleasant. | DjLes73 | 04 April 2014 |
