Kestrel Hotel

A fantastic property, only a few blocks from the Convention Center and the Broad St subway line. The unit was clean, smartly decorated and spacious. Although it was contact-less check-in, our hosts regularly communicated with us to ensure all of our questions were answered, usually before they were even asked! It was a very convenient location, two blocks from the subway we needed to take for our World Cup match. Highly recommended!

If you are planning on modern, then this is not the place for you. However I think it was worth the price I paid. Include their daily parking fee in with your reservation. There is literally no place to park. I think the cars in the free spots are glued in place because they have not moved since my arrival. Kestrel parking is a small space so beware if you drive a large vehicle. The only changes, that could improve the stay for me was nicer towels and a heavier blanket. I will reccomend to certain acquaintances but not all. Decorating in mid century modern would have enhanced the historic look and feel that is definitely this area.

The property is on a convenient location. It’s was fairly clean however there was mold in the shower (small amount). Also be advised there is no tv in the room so bring your own devices.

Very clean, easy access, prompt communication from host and quiet. Nice location to access a lot of Philly highlights

The area surrounding the hotel is less than desirable, the area appears to be in the process of being redeveloped but it’s far from getting there. There were no services, groceries, liquor store, restaurants or any kind of stores close. I walked a mile round trip to get coffee in the morning. Speaking of coffee, We stayed 2 nights and they furnished us with one packet of coffee, no creamer and no refill the second day. There were no services of any kind, no fresh towels, no nothing! Also, no tv so brings a book. Lastly, not the place for someone that doesn’t like stairs. The only bedroom is in the loft and the climb of the metal staircase was challenging for my wife.

Very industrial. Pipes showing everywhere. Small; concrete floors; no television; not a real nice area, but not too bad either. It’s not worth paying a lot for. I like having people around that greet you, say hello, etc. Room/“kitchen” was clean; big shower/bathroom.

The Poor Richard apt is perfect for 2 people. We didn’t cook but the kitchen is well suited. The apt was more spacious than I was expecting. The bed was comfy and very soft. When in Philly I would definitely stay here again. We were there for a concert at Underground Arts and it’s literally around the corner. Reading terminal market and the Convention center was a few blocks down the street.

The entire place was clean. The kitchen was ready to use. The entire process was easy and hassle free. I would recommend this place.

This place is great. Close enough to urban shops, good value, easy access, roomy, modern feel... and if you are an oddball energy efficiency person, you'll find a minisplit AC system, energy recovery ventilator, heat pump clothes dryer. Kind of a niche value set, I realize, but appreciated by energy nerds!
