Really enjoyed our stay at the Kestrel. Its central location made it easy to get to everything we wanted to see in Philadelphia. We walked everywhere but some sites may be too far for others. We especially loved how close it was to Reading Market which quickly became our go-to breakfast and snack spot. Would add that their communications were extremely thorough and that helped things go smoothly.

Clean comfortable and unique.

Very clean, comfortable and unique. So many thoughtful little details throughout the space. More of a Vrbo experience as there weren’t any staff on property, all done through the phone. The hotel is tucked away on a side street so parking was the worst part, but the room itself was amazing!
