Always a wonderful stay! Location is perfect and feels safe. Staff is friendly and helpful. We did not stay for breakfast as we had other plans that day. For their rates, the value is great. We will return and recommend.
Shabby unclean. Room above us and nextdoor was so noisy. Creaky, bed noises, snoring, footsteps. Apparently no sound proofing. Fruit salad made of spoiled fruit, overcooked eggs.
Great location but everything else very lacking. Would not recommend.

The Bed and Breakfast was a nice boutique hotel in Philadelphia. It is located in an older row house. The beds were comfortable with nice pillows,towels and bathrobes were provided. One of the rooms that faced the front of the property you could hear the noise from the street. Both rooms and hallway and stairs had creaky floors, which woke us up several times during the night when the other guests got up. The bathroom had mold around the base of the shower and the floor.
The room was super clean. The bed was very comfortable and the service was friendly.

The pictures on the website were deceiving. Paint peeling, stains on walls and rugs. Worn rugs. I appreciate the age of the building and decor to match, but undate is definitely needed.

Beautifully styled old building within a safe, quiet neighbourhood, not far from the central areas. Room was clean, nice breakfast options.

Loved the Rittenhouse suite! We stay often at La Reserve and location is convenient, staff are friendly and the continental breakfast is perfect! Will stay again!
Beyond expectation cannot wait to return for my next trip to Philadelphia. This is a great experience if you’re looking for something that not the normal chain hotel.
It was nice to have coffee and breakfast there. Very good. Nice change from typical hotel stays. I appreciate experiencing more authentic Philadelphia experience.
This is a beautifully decorated, historic home in a quiet neighborhood with many local dining options nearby. La Reserve staff was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. All the important touches were provided. Many neighbors take pride in decorating with outdoor flower boxes on their homes exteriors. Reminded me of London and Charleston.
Nice room, clean and comfortable. Wonderful, walkable neighborhood. We felt welcomed and comfortable by the manager (Maja) when we arrived. She was terrific. I wish she had been part of the next day’s crew - no one showed up to prepare breakfast (this IS supposed to be a Bed & BREAKFAST) … many guests got fed up waiting and had to go out to purchase breakfast elsewhere. No adjustments in price were offered for this inconvenience. What should have been a very enjoyable visit turned out to be disappointing.
I expect this does not happen very often (especially because Maja was a magnificent hostess), but I do believe there should be an apology (and a partial refund) forthcoming from management. I hope they do the right thing - that would make me eager to return.
Without that, I would never return to or recommend staying there.
