Lovely place in very convenient location. Gorgeous rooms. Since our last stay: Bar entrance has moved next door. Breakfast has moved upstairs. Preferred the ambiance downstairs, and seemed like a little less selection, but still very good.

We stayed in'The Aristocrat' and it was overall a fine experience but way too warm (couldn't adjust the heating) and the bathroom needed updates. If we were to return, we would probably upgrade to King bed as those rooms were bigger and clearly better maintained (such as 'The Monarch' where our friends stayed) which also had a bigger and nicer bathroom.

Rittenhouse Square comfort

Great location and great place to stay. A B&B with involved staff and a commitment to guest comfort and convenience. New breakfast area holds just-baked pastries and fruit, besides juices and coffee. We enjoyed our stay - our third or fourth here - very much.

The staff went above and beyond when I needed assistance, incredible people. The street it’s on isn’t one of the main streets so it was pretty quiet. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities I needed, even plenty of shelf space in the large shower! Will stay here again.
