"This hotel's central location, pleasing City Hall views and gilded lobby compensate for sterile rooms lacking in character." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"This is a comfortable Marriott-brand hotel housed in the historic, former City Hall Annex building."
Frommer's
"The largest hotel in the state, and then some, the thrice-incarnated Philadelphia Marriott is high volume -- and surprisingly high service." Full review
Fodor's

Rough Guide
"Friendly hostel wedged between Independence Hall National Park and Old City, with bunk beds from $30, some private rooms and free games, tea and coffee. No curfews."
Frommer's
"Cash-strapped visitors to Philly are in luck, because this stalwart hostel is planted right in the heart of Old City, just a few blocks from the marquee sights of Independence National Historic Park." Full review
Time Out
"Male, female and coed dorms and eight private rooms which feature a queen-sized bed and bunk beds or two sets of bunk beds with a private living area." Full review
Frommer's
"Cash-strapped visitors to Philly are in luck, because this stalwart hostel is planted right in the heart of Old City, just a few blocks from the marquee sights of Independence National Historic Park—the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and all the rest—and right in the middle of the neighborhood's picturesque cobblestoned streets lined by restaurants, art galleries, bars, boutiques, and colonial-era sights" Full review
