Perfect B&B for a getaway in Philly!
This place is so lovely. The gorgeous Victorian is meticulously cared for. The hosts are supremely kind and generous, and the breakfast was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the bed was very comfortable and made sleep effortless. Would definitely stay here again!

The BEST bnb in Philly
Always our favorite place to stay when in Philly. The hosts are always so kind and do their best to make it feel like home. The rooms are always clean and the entire home is well curated. We recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

Grand old dame
Lovely grand old house. Location was great. We overestimated our travel time and arrived 4 hrs. early. We were able to store our luggage in our room and walk to a park for a popup market. Beautifully decorated. Nice breakfast at a large group table. Staff was very friendly and helpful Enjoyed our stay and would go back. When we went it was on the market . It, like any grand old home. needed some maintenance but it didn't affect our stay.

Annette, my hostess, was warmth and courtesy itself. She went out of her way to help and i greatly appreciated her friendliness. I had a heater in my room, which solved the problem of a sudden downturn in the weather. The shower in my room was hard to operate. But such a charming, period place. I'd recommend it strongly

Historic and hospitable
This amazing historic house had lovely period decor at every turn. The hosts were accommodating, and the breakfasts were filling, varying each of the four mornings we were there to keep things interesting. One thing I especially appreciated was how the family kept the grounds up. Some places let their outdoor furniture get dusty, but not The Gables--you could go out and have your pick of seating areas on the porch or in the lawn, in top shape receive you.

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.
