Nice place to stay...
Our stay was very comfortable and we loved the area. It was very quaint and we loved that the Schuylkill Walkway was just a stones throw away. Our host was very accommodating to our needs. Would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome College visit
Location was perfect for college visits to Drexel and Penn. We were able to walk everywhere easily. Free parking was great and convenient. Breakfast was lovely and the banana but pancake muffins were delicious.

Nice location but the room was dirty, bed linens were not totally clean and very worn. Cats made the place smell awful and since I'm allergic that was not a nice surprise.

Perfect Philadelphia Experience
I was attending a conference at UPENN and needed a convenient location for a few nights. Chelle is a gracious host with a beautiful home that she opens to guests. I loved the location! The room I stayed in was lovely and had everything I needed.

First B & B stay
This was our first experience with a B&B. Our host was accommodating and the food was amazing! Although the location was on the outskirts of the city, public transportation was easy, and the area was great. Will stay there again next time we are in Philadelphia.

Feel like at home
It was a very pleasant stay. Chelle is a great "grandma" and friend, who cooks creative and tasty breakfast. The hotel is at perfect position for people who are visiting Penn or Drexel, though it is a little bit hard to find without a map. I would like to choose there again next time when I come back to Philly for a short stay.

Great B&B in Phila
Great little B&B. Very good location for UPenn events - 10 min walk over the bridge; also close to downtown, museums and routes 76/95. The best breakfast of all B&Bs where I stayed in past years. The owner was the most helpful in everything, including parking. Would definitely stay there (if the room is available) on my next trip to Phila.

Perfect stay, exactly what we were looking for!
The B&B was easy to find and has plenty of parking available for those of you familiar with parking in Philly. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. I didn't notice a cat odor and they seemed to hide most of the time anyway. I'm also very allergic to cats and had no issues with allergies. Breakfast isn't something that I would have ever ordered on my own and I definitely would have preferred a choice of a simple egg and toast, but I didn't even think to mention that. I'm sure if I had, she would have made it. All in all, a great visit!

How Rude
The owner of this B&B was very rude and unwelcoming. She greeted me with an attitude, walked into my room without knocking or asking if it was ok, and began to shout at me because I told her I would be checking out early so I would not need the complimentary breakfast. She made me feel very uncomfortable. I will never stay here again.

Quiet and convenient.
Narrow stairs to second floor room were a challenge with suitcases and a walking cane. Bed was too soft for an old body and only a rain shower head is for the much younger set. I was glad to experience the shower before I had one installed in my home. Plastic mattress cover was a turn off. Great host and outstanding breakfasts!!!

Quaint and Eclectic in Philadelphia
Chelle makes an awesome breakfast! Also her suggestion about following the river walk up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art was spot on. Wed nights, they are open late and you pay what you want for admission. It was a win-win situation for me. Thank you for everything.

Recommend
I had a very nice stay at South Bridge B&B. Chelle the owner is personable and accommodating. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is situated in a residential area convenient to Penn University and Rittenhouse square. The heart of the Center City business district is close by, little over a mile. Public transportation is available nearby.

Hidden Gem
If you have a problem with cats or you want the characterless sterility of a typical downtown hotel, look elsewhere. If you like eclectic decor, a friendly and interesting hostess, and want to feel like you are actually part of the quirky center city neighborhood near UPenn, then this is the place for you. Easy access to the river walk, restaurants, train stations and the university/hospital. I was not a big fan of Philly before this visit, but staying at the South Bridge B&B changed my mind.
