We hate big impersonal hotels. This is the opposite, Its a wonderful small hotel in a great area of center city Phil. The hotel is beautiful. It's a converted colonial era mansion. The rooms are beautiful, modern , quiet and well equipped. The staff is wonderful (especially Jerry at the front desk). There is a fine continental breakfast served each morning. There is reduced cost parking right across the street. We have been here several times. We will always stay here when in Philadelphia. HS. M.D. Wash DC

The Morris House Hotel is very conveniently located within walking distance to many major tourist sites. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful in making suggestions of sites to see in the area which I otherwise would have missed. The breakfast buffet provides ample choices to keep you going all day long and it is lovely to have tea and coffee and sinfully delicious cookies available in the afternoon and evening. My room although on the street was very quiet

Perfectly charming hotel with exceptional service and hospitality. We stayed their in preparation for a exam at Wills Eye hospital, which was only steps away. It is centrally located and quiet during the day if you are on business. I highly recommend staying there.

When we are traveling through Philadelphia and have a few days to sightsee, we like to stay at a boutique hotel in the old city. Morris House hotel is just that! With 17 rooms, it is certainly small but the charm of this home is what I imagined the Morris family had in mind when they hosted their guests. The moment you arrive at the front door through the lobby; you are warmly greeted with a smile and an offer of afternoon tea. Each concierge we encounter has a wealth of knowledge and love of the city. They know exactly where to guide you whether you are looking for a great restaurant, nice walk or historic location. I highly recommend trying the Morris House next time you are passing through Philadelphia and see for yourself how charming the old city can be.

We loved our stay at the Morris House Hotel. The location was great, the rooms were comfortable and large, and the staff was friendly. One thing to note is that the hotel does not have an elevator. We were on the third floor and this wasn't an issue for us but I could see where it might be an issue for older guests or those with mobility problems. Definitely plan for dinner at Talula's Garden right next door while you are here!

I was here to be close to my husband who had major surgery at Penn. The staff here is extraordinary, everyone, especially Julio, was so kind and caring, asked me about my husbands progress, and made sure that I had everything I needed. I felt like I was staying at a family members house. I felt cared for while caring for my husband and that made all of the difference in the world.

This is our favorite hotel to stay at when we visit Philly. Excellent location and awesome staff. They are so helpful and friendly, and will accommodate you in every way. The rooms are impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. This landmark building dates back to 1787, and brings you back in time. In the evening, you can sit in front the parlor fireplace with freshly baked cookies and a hot beverage of your choice. This is truly a hidden gem that should not be missed.
