The B&B itself is a large and unique Victorian that has been beautifully restored, furnished and maintained. The proprietors are exceptionally hospitable and helpful and we had a wonderful time staying with them. Our room -- The Victorian -- was great with its canopied bed and separate sitting room. The breakfasts were enormous and delicious and the location was perfect for us. We would love to go back again.

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.

I should start with i travel 3 weeks a month for business and mostly stay at hotels. Do not recall why I actually booked this B&B, but would not recommend this one. The people and communication were great, but the property is just old.

Highly recommended! We recently stayed with Cesar and his family for one night while passing through Philadelphia. When we arrived, we were met by Annette and her lovely son who showed us the house and our room. The decor is absolutely charming. There is a big porch and a garden with lots of seating when the weather is nice. All the rooms are named; ours was the Egan - private, detached bath. The mattress was SUPER comfortable and the bathroom was just next door. WiFi is good. They even stock a pantry with water, wine and snacks for guests and are available to give recommendations on what to see, where to eat, etc. Location is convenient and parking is on site, in a lot off the street. But the breakfast was our favorite! Cesar is an amazing chef (quiche, sausage, fruit and cake) and it’s so nice to sit with other guests in the dining room and chat. We will definitely stay at the Gables next time we are in Philly - you should too.

Cesar and Jeannette were so hospitable. Our room was great and we enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The location was convenient to my niece's apartment. The outside is a little worn but don't let that deter you. The inside is well kept with beautiful antiques. I would recommend staying here if the location is convenient for you.
