Fabulous property with authentic Victorian decor and furnishings. Comfortable, quiet and the breakfasts are generous and delicious! There were some minor repairs needed but that’s normal for older properties. The hosts are what made my stay special. They treat customers with dignity and are very accommodating. Looking forward to my next stay.

Excellent stay and will be my hotel of choice when I come to Philly. Amazing service; they did my laundry which I needed after two weeks abroad for work. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms are very comfortable and homey. Neighborhood is safe and walkable. So much more enjoyable than a corporate hotel and at a competitive cost. Give something different a try!

This is my second time staying at the Gables. This beautiful historic mansion is so well preserved and maintained. Every room is uniquely decorated. Breakfast is deliciously served with bread, fruit, toasts, and eggs… as well as juice and coffee. I enjoyed meeting other travelers and shared our travel stories over breakfast. The team running this B&B is extraordinary. Cesar, Annette, and Jeanette are so kind and attentive. I will definitely come back to this place again. Also, the location is so close to UPenn and Drexel University, and not very far from downtown. On site parking without extra fee is a big plus for me.

A few days in Philly
The staff and owners were wonderful. Our room was quiet, clean, and cool. There's a nice garden where we ate dinner one night. This is a historic b & b, so it doesn't have all of the amenities of a larger chain. We found it to be a charming, fun stay. There's a trolley stop right on the corner, so getting to the historic district of Philadelphia is super easy.

Nice Place that Could Use Some TLC
B&B hosts were very nice. Full breakfast was delicious. Plenty of complimentary water, coffee, tea and wine. I enjoy staying at B&Bs such as this one to step off the beaten path of chain hotels and enjoy the history such B&Bs provide. With that said, this place could use some help. Old and historic doesn’t have to also mean old, musty smelling and run down. It’s a beautiful home that could use some TLC and repair to bring back its glory.
