Top Olde Kensington Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown/Center City

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great , definitely will stay again in this place"

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a very good experience. We liked the room, staff, as well as the restaurant. The location is great. One major concern is the design of the bathroom area (likely fueled by having spent a lifetime in health care). Having no sink in the toilet area results in the light switch and the door being repeatedly touched by unwashed hands. I think the light switch was originally on a motion sensor but that feature was not functioning. Also, I found having no door at the shower and sink area less than desirable. Otherwise, it was truly an enjoyable stay. ."
