Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty much as expected decent neighborhood felt safe great communication great parking option The bed was comfortable. The concrete floors felt a bit industrial, which is fine, but very kind of complicated to get in but overall good experience.

The space is absolutely lovely and feels like you’re staying in a lofty style home with a full kitchen! The place has unique written all over it! I felt safe having a code to get into the facility! The full kitchen was an abusing perk and I totally recommend staying here on your trip!

Easy to find. Parking options nearby. Clean room, fun atmosphere
Jessica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean comfortable and unique.

Very clean, comfortable and unique. So many thoughtful little details throughout the space. More of a Vrbo experience as there weren’t any staff on property, all done through the phone. The hotel is tucked away on a side street so parking was the worst part, but the room itself was amazing!
Darci, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean; beds were comfortable. However, there were no blinds on the windows and it was so bright in the room I could not sleep.
Leslie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay at the Kestrel. Its central location made it easy to get to everything we wanted to see in Philadelphia. We walked everywhere but some sites may be too far for others. We especially loved how close it was to Reading Market which quickly became our go-to breakfast and snack spot. Would add that their communications were extremely thorough and that helped things go smoothly.
Candace, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location and very nice accommodations
Jessica Lyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for museums, very walkable. Clean loft vibe.Wanted a Keurig, included coffee ok, but... Needs horizonatal surfaces in bathroom, maybe a small table, shelf on wall by sink, a few more hooks. Struggled with thermostat, but, once we got windows open, that was fine, despite street noise at night.
Phil, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved it! Close to local restaurants and 10 min walking from ChinaTown. Would stay here again!
Lilian Iglesias, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great loft! Clean and comfortable, nice space. We weren’t prepared for a room without a TV only because it’s very standard. We Might have brought some earbuds or a tablet had we known but no big deal.

Abby, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was so much more spacious than we expected. It was clean and quiet and the hosts provided some nice staples for their guests. Getting in and out was very easy because of the stellar communication, and we had a very easy walk to the venue we werw going to, as advertised. Very happy with our stay, thank you!
