Top Olde Kensington Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Could have provided beverages in the lobby. The other Wyndam property I stayed at did and Best Western always had an outstanding coffee and tea bar. Hotel was very well situated for exploring the historic district and also had parking on site."

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Superb part of town, Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Rooftop has a heated pool and observation deck that was fun to unwind in at the end of the way. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Elevators were at the very front as soon as you walked in the entrance, so coming and going was super easy and convenient at all hours for the day. (Or night 😄) Housekeeping was polite and took care of the room in a timely manner. Will definitely return to this hotel when I re-visit Philly."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff had to understand that they are dealing with the public and that they need to be courteous and resilient, respectful with travelers. Only in Philadelphia. We have stayed in other Embassy Suites in other states and customer service was superb."
