    The hotel was close enough to attractions such as Reading Terminal Market, Independence Square, and the Wanamaker Oregon, historic Philadelphia and center thanks to its comfortable and ideal location. It also was to a restaurant on subsequent days.

    Didn't like the area, it was bustling.

    Little place, I really enjoyed nice personnel.

    The hotel was located so close to many restaurants & attractions as well as the Midtown near to the Old City. The room was immaculate and absolutely perfect with balloons, had essentials required. Everything was wonderful, including cozy room decor. We had a terrific time.

    The room was a nice size and very well decorated with nice furnishings and my experience was perfectly pleasant. A high ceiling and a chair were good. The service provided there was individual.

    As for me, the area was bustling.

    Historic-style building, immaculate and absolutely perfect rooms with the TV and the coffee machine and a couch. A huge variety of goodies for breakfast.

    Wi-Fi was kind of slow.

    Extremely helpful and very helpful staff, and good food!!!

    Certainly a pleasant experience for long stay in Philadelphia. Fairly clean, small family run hotel. Unbeatable location right by historic centre and numerous restaurants and mosts major attractions. For tea or coffee visit Green Eggs Cafe nearby. A nice size room at reasonable prices with mini fridge and balloons, as example. A modern decor.

    It was an enjoyable stay for a business trip. We were in an ideal location not very far from Independence Hall.

    Some people working there were a bit rude.

    Pleasant views, liked incredible and incredibly comfortable setting.

    The hotel was clean and had really helpful and attentive stuff from the front facing staff to their managers. Location: the property was next to night life, restaurants, shopping, all in all the perfect spot, city hall and the rest of Philadelphias History and several restaurants, bars and entertainment. Was an interesting place for trip.

    The international team was helpful through the app and phone. Convenient city location, walking distance to downtown and public transportation. Sonder staff went above and beyond, with flawless codes and early check-in. Beautiful, comfortable room in a vibrant area, no need for transportation. Generous breakfast served in-room.

    Hotel was well located in City Center. Lots of restaurants in the area and easy walking distance to many sites. Seemed like good security-- needed hotel card to access elevator from ground level and to go to any floors other than reception. Bed very comfortable.

    Hotel was adequate but would not stay there again. The refrigerator wasn't working and when we told them on the way out they checked and some switch had not been turned on. There was no information in the room as far as how to contact the desk and on the two occasions I went down to speak to someone, noone was at reception. The swivel rod was gone from the blinds so they couldn't be closed (thankfully there were blackout shades.) Nice products in the bathroom but no shower cap. It was a scorching 100+ degrees in Philadelphia the weekend we were there and the air conditioning was great although quite loud.

    The Independant is without doubt one of the best Boutique Hotels we have booked via Booked.net. It has Class, Comfort and Style and the staff are spectactular with a 10 out of 10 for courtesy and service. We will recommend this Hotel to all our friends. A really nice touch is the evening wine and cheese get together for residents an opportunity to meet and talk with other travellers.

    There is nothing not to like about The Independant
