The Conwell Inn - Philadelphia

The hotel is clean nice and affordable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall great place to stay. The only and major problem was the parking.I would not recommend the Inn for people who need to have parking available. Parking is very limited.

This is a trip for my college visiting. The hotel located on the Temple University campus. Just by 5 mins walk you can get to the train station which can bring you to many locations in Philadelphia including the PHL airport.

I loved it, it was oddly on a college campus, allowed dogs (I have a 55lb Aussie) and next to the metro, I felt safe walking my dog by myself where at my apartment which i don't, the room was set up amazing. Will stay again!

It was a lovely hotel. We booked two rooms, and the person who checked us in switched them by accident, but we rectified that ourselves (single vs. double with a small dog). It was very safe with tons of police patrolling, and cheap, fast college-town restaurants. If you wanted a lovely sit-down dinner, there was nothing within walking distance, but […] the theatre and supermarket were close by and you could catch the subway 2 blocks away to the Reading Terminal and Convention Center. I'd definitely stay here again. Read more

The experience is delightful and it was a great deal. Comfortable beds and bathroom.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Conwell. Probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in (I actually was able to sleep, without building a futon out of bedspreads). The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The Continental breakfast was a bit scant, but adequate (it was Continental after all). The hotel is next door to the campus police […] station, so security was not an issue, at least on campus, and there is a 7-11 next door to the hotel, as well. There were only two things I could say that are negative: 1) the WiFi was very poor (and the building made phone service and air-card service problematic as well); 2) they really should publish the "old" address (1331 West Berks Ave.), without which, my GPS (TomTom) took me into some very sketchy neighborhoods, and an hour out of the way (with the Berks address, went right to it.

I was very disappointed in the cleanliness of my room. The floor needed vacuuming and the beds had not been changed. The beds were made up as if they were, but when you pulled back the covers, there were hairs and specks of dirt on the sheets, and appeared slept on. The bathroom sink was very sluggish and the whole room needed dusting. Students passing […] by after 11:00 pm, making a lot of noise. Would not recommend nor will I ever book there again. Read more

Good location for anyone with business at Temple Univ.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Was not told ahead of time that you needed to reserve parking - had to park 3 blocks away and pay - once over that the hotel itself was very nice and quiet.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We really liked this little hotel. It is on the campus of Temple University and is very close to the SEPTA subway system. The hotel and surrounding areas felt very safe for walking no matter what time of day or night. There is a great little strip of carry out restaurants close by with outdoor seating, and nearby street food trucks for those who like […] a little culinary adventure! (We did!) The hotel front desk was very helpful with advice and directions, and we had no problems with our stay. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to see Philly. We would happily stay there on our next trip. In the lobby, there were always fresh cookies and apples for the taking. There is a cool little coffee shop downstairs with great breakfast choices and an excellent coffee and tea selection. We patronized it quite a few times. Read more

The staff was friendly and helpful, in person as well as over the phone. The complimentary breakfast certainly wasn't fancy, but met my needs nicely. It was an easy drive into other areas of the city. I had a little trouble connecting to the free internet service from my room, but ultimately was able to use my computer after a few attempts! If you want […] to be right in the thick of campus life, this is a great place for you! Read more

I highly suggest visiting their website beforehand to receive directions to the hotel. The address listed does not show up on GoogleMaps or GPS. The hotel is located on Temple University and it is next door to campus security. Upon checking in, the hotel staff member was incredibly helpful with providing public transit maps and suggestions on food/restaurants. […] The room was blasting A/C when entering, which I love! Beds were comfy and the bathroom was nice. I would definitely recommend and book again! Read more

If you don't like being around college students, this place is not for you...other than that, very nice, quaint, and perfect for a weekend stay. Plenty in the area and only 2 blocks away from the subway that will take you anywhere in the city. That part was awesome!

Noises outside. Room big and comfortable, front desk very polite and helpful

Great hotel. Very well maintained. Room is huge !! The staff there (I assume are mostly college students) are VERY nice and helpful ! It's located in temple university, yes, literally inside the school !! It's prob. one of the few safe places to be in the surrounding environment. Conveniently located near subway and bus stations. One more note, the […] food in center campus is so awesome ! Read more

This hotel is right on Temple campus so you can hear students hanging out and talking at night.

The Conwell Inn is a must-stay hotel if you are visiting Temple University as it is located right in the university. It also is located very near access to the user friendly subway system for travel to the rest of Philadelphia. Although it has no amenities such as a pool, restaurant, or bar, its charm, personable staff, and quality rooms make up for […] those shortcomings. A must if you are staying here is to reserve a parking space as the spots next to the hotal are limited. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Its a nice little hotel, but the location isn't great. Even GoogleMaps couldn't find it. Be sure to reserve a parking space when you make your reservation because there aren't enough spaces for everyone and the closest parking garage is 3 blocks away.

This was my second stay at the Conwell. I love the convenience to the dorms and enjoyed staying there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This Inn was even better than we were expecting. Obviously, they have improved since some of the negative reviews I had read. By phone and in person EVERY employee was just super. The entire place is immaculate and the room was beautiful. The bed and pillows were too hard for me but that is a personnal thing. My husband thought they were fine. It was […] a very easy walk to the subway and they had a taxi waiting for us when we checked out. They are A+++++. If we ever get back to Philly we will definately call them first. They are located next to a police sub station on Temple University's campus and we always felt very safe. Read more

A descent place to stay, except it needs a serious facelift and, even though the subway will take you to where the attractions are, it is not in an attractive place except if your trip is about visiting the university,The room was dark and the dark carpet didn't help.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A very small yet very comfortable Hotel, on Temple University Campus. We stayed in a clean and suprisingly large room. A subway ride/cab ride from the convention center but we were not looking to stay in center city. Breakfast was a bit sparse but there is a cafe next door. Overall, Highly Recommend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was very happy! Extras all cost money though. That means cots (even if you reserve for 4 in a single room, cots are still more $$), a fridge ($10/night), parking ($18/night), etc. All extra. Breakfast is included though. The hotel is very clean, the staff were all really helpful. This is on a college campus so you can't drive right up to the hotel, […] but you can get pretty close if you make the right turns (it can be hard to find their parking, call for directions..). It's also about a 40 min. walk from center city, but walking is good, right? Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice hotel, however very hard to find. I feel you need a bigger sign on Broad St. While I was checking in the clerk had 2 calls for directions off of Broad St. I was very glad you had security right under the hotel and I will stay at The Conwell again. Last year we stayed at the Comfort Inn along the river. People off the streets were lying around […] on the loby furniture, needless to say this years experience was very good. Read more

This was my second time staying at the Conwell Inn and the room I got was huge, had very friendly staff who were willing to help out with every need and I was even engaged in conversation by one of them one my back to my room to a 20 minute conversation. Great place to stay, great service, great spot, you won't go wrong.

Nice hotel, good value, nice small breakast included and right next door to nice coffee shop BUT DO NOT stay in rooms on the alley side. I was awakended 2 nights in a row at 4am for an hour with garbage trucks and dumpster banging. Front Desk knew it was a problem with I complained. I packed up and was ready to leave 2 nights early to get sleep but […] they moved me to a new room on front of hotel. (be sure book parking space for $15 per day) Near outdoor track to run or pay$20 per day for indoor facilities on Temple Campus. Read more

Nice Hotel. "Pet Friendly" but charge good bit extra per stay - did not expect this.

water pressure in shower was below par--new shower head needed perhaps. Mainenance quickly attended to requests though wasn't always able to correct the problem.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was near a subway station. Hotel and room were nice and well maintained. Exceptions were: the elevator was out of order during our visit, the shower curtain in our room was moldy, and a curtain was falling off the rod.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel location right within walking distance to Temple University facilities is what I like most. However, parking for guests of the hotel should have been provided free like in other hotels in the area.
