Best place to stay for my money!
My wife and I were in town for the weekend. The hotel was convenient for all the things we were planning to do. The room was spacious and we were blown away by how welcome the staff made us feel. Definitely on the top of my list of places to stay when in Philadelphia!

Tiny
Room small, bathroom so small 2 people could NEVER fit. Tiny pedestal sink crammed between toilet and shower. No place to set anything. Very few plugs for charging- none on nightstand. Would not stay at this property again. This room was advertised as a suite?!!!

AKA Rittenhouse Square is clean, well-maintained, extremely hospitable staff, and in a prime location for parks, restaurants, and an easy walk to many historical and famous sites in Philadelphia. Highly recommended. We loved the free welcome drink from the hotel bar/restaurant. My only request would be for vegan options on the food menu. Otherwise a perfect stay! We will definitely be back next time we are in Philadelphia.

This building is in poor condition. Our bathroom door couldn’t close. The plumbing in our bathroom requred repair and still the toilet ran our entire stay. The toilet overflowed in one room and the shower pan didn’t drain in both rooms we booked. The cinema was broken the first night we reserved but fixed for the second. Everything looks pretty on the surface and the staff were great. However, based on the mechanical problems I would not stay here again.

AKA is a nice convenient hotel
Young and friendly staff to welcome you conveniently located right off of Rittenhouse Square. The room was light and comfortable with great bed linens but the bathroom was extremely small, had a children’s size toilet, the toilet paper was like tissue paper, thin.
