Everything met my expectations; from the perfect location to walk to many attractions, to the ease of accessing public transportation, to the quiet yet attentive service, to the comfortable beds, to the excellent food in the restaurant, to the feeling of safety in a big city for a woman traveling alone and the historical value of a few nights in a place where much of our early political brouhahas began.

I cannot think of anything that could have been improved. For travelers expecting shiny and plastics perhaps it would not be the wonderful hotel I think it is but I enjoyed the beautifully renovated very old space.

The Morris House Hotel is more than a comfortable, totally centrally located hotel in Philly. From the first moment you enter the hotel, you are greeted by a charming, helpful, very experienced, extremely friendly and always positive management. The historical background of the house invites you to find out more. You feel warmly welcomed as if in a family community. The rooms are tastefully decorated with a love of authenticity. Having stayed there for more than just a few days, I can recommend this hotel with pleasure and conviction.

Arrived late, many restaurants (and shops) in the area. The bar at the Hotel looked excellent. But decided to walk a block north to Washington Square and found a wonderful restaurant. The Washington Square area oozes American history. Felt so lucky to have stayed at the Morris House. Will definitely stay there again when in Philadelphia.

Being multi-century buildings there were the to-be-expected narrow hallways and long, steepish staircases. My wife and I are hardy, so not too much of a bother. I think some accommodations are on the first floor if you are not able or want to climb the staircase(s).

Jerry, the Concierge, goes above and beyond in helping the visitors navigate not only the things to do in this historic city, but also showing them how to get around. He is generous with his time in explaining the answers to any questions people present. In addition, he is resourceful and creative solving unique potentially aggravation problems: during the marathon, the taxis were very delayed and canceled. He stepped right in without hesitation and managed every step of getting my first uber in a manner which was FAR and way above what would be called excellent. Interactions with all staff members are very positive as well.

I am hard pressed to make any suggestions.

The homey authentic colonial atmosphere and the decor are reminiscent of a lovely New England bed and breakfast inn in the heart of the city-unique ! But the best features is the caring helpful stuff , all were terrific . They go above and beyond . Last but not least , loved the included breakfast, coffee station, cookies, and bathrobes in the rooms.

The light in the bathroom in my room was poor, I could not put on makeup easily . I also felt that the shower was very substandard.. ( Also, the TV set was pretty much not working, but I did not ask for it to be fixed since I wasn’t there much.)

The Morris House Hotel is a lovely stay that takes you back in time. The facilities are very clean, charming, and well appointed. The room had a tall ceiling a comfortable bed. The bathroom was well equipped. The location is unbeatable!

The room was facing the street, so it was a bit loud on weekdays. The windows are already double-panned, so the hotel should offer ear plugs and a sound machine in the room. Additionally we felt the breakfast could be improved. It was vey basic and didn't really match the historic vibe of the space.

Incredible historical building in a perfect location for enjoying old Philadelphia. We are runners and loved the neighborhood and the ease of running straight down Walnut to the Delaware River for riverside running paths. The host’s suggestion of Buca D’oro around the corner from the Morris House resulted in one of the best meals we have ever experienced.

Being history buffs, we would have enjoyed more easily accessible facts/anecdotes about the Morris House. There were notebooks of Wiki facts that were interesting but left us wanting to know more about the owners and the house.

Loved the simple, buffet breakfast! The atmosphere was so cozy and perfect for the time of year! It was nice to meet other people who were staying at the hotel. I felt like I was in my family's old Philly home they moved out of a few years ago. Great spot!

The bed was ok! Clean (which is the most important detail) but not the most comfortable. My cousin slept in the pullout sofa and that was really uncomfortable unfortunately.

This is our second time staying here. We loved the fact it's in a historic building, just a short walk from the Independence National Historical Park and from the city centre. The breakfast is great and all the staff are extremely friendly. We enjoyed having cookies and coffee in the afternoon in the communal areas. Having open fires in each of the lounges is a nice touch in the winter.

Our room was a little cramped (last time I think we had booked one of the larger rooms, when the exchange rate was a bit more favourable!) And there was a bit of noise from outside (air conditioning units?). But overall we were pleased to stay here again and would choose Morris House Hotel in the future.

A hidden gem where you are transported to an earlier era. The place to go if you prefer atmosphere and Philadelphia's old city feel and don't have trouble with stairs or need every possible amenity. Quiet alternative to the big hotels close to all the attractions including one of the best restaurants around the corner, Talula's. Tea and coffee is avail. 24/7 so early risers and late sleepers can always have a cup of warmth to start their day. Breakfast is a broader US-continental type (includes cheese and hard egg in the mix) and the afternoon cookies are scrumptious. Dining room space is cozy and filled with natural light even in winter, where you can also enjoy the fire and views of the garden or 8th street.

The top-floor room temp in January would not go below 67F (19.5C), which feels very warm. Would be nice if gluten-free bread or muffin would be made available with advance request.
