Very Clean Antique-Decorated Townhouse Hotel
Very clean room, comfortable bed, ac/heat, tv, mini refrigerator, and microwave; great for a "historical escape", antique lovers, or a romantic getaway; it is walk-up stairs only, we were on second floor; this is a town house, not a traditional hotel, with no elevators, front desk, room service, and low chance of extending stay for an extra night, due to small number of rooms.

Great stay in the Tip Top room
We chose to stay at Philadelphia Hotel Bella Vista for our anniversary because we wanted to get a feel for Philly without feeling “touristy.” We were within walking distance of our favorite Italian restaurant (Ralph’s) and bakery (Isgro’s). We stayed in the Tip Top suite. It was spacious and roomy with a big kitchen and very comfortable bed. I was concerned that the city noise would be a burden at night, but it was quiet. Street parking can be hard to come by, but we lucked out and found a spot right out front of the hotel. We just had to move it twice during the day to avoid a ticket (no tickets after 6:30pm in some spots). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and recommend this to any travelers wanting to have a more authentic Philly experience when visiting the city.

We stayed in the Tip Top suite and we loved it. Tons of room and lots of quirky decorations. The area is great and very walkable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The hotel is eclectic. It is self serve in that you have codes to your room. I had no contact with any staff. The location was why I picked the hotel as well as the price. It worked for me, but may not work for people who expect the usual amenities of a full blown hotel like a Hampton or Hilton. The manager was very patient when I had issues with my credit card ( I hadn't told Visa I was traveling).

Funky bohemian vibe which we love. We also appreciated getting in earlier than 3:00 after traipsing around a 95 degree oven that was Philly that day.

The check in was delayed. The roof wallpaper was falling apart. No food/drinking water. No services to contact them for issues. Over priced

I booked a room at Bella Vista because all the hotels were booked. It’s in a great location, a nice walk to different parts of the city. I stayed in the Oasis Room, and though it was clean, the facility hadn’t been kept up well. The wallpaper trim was peeling off to revels what looked like a damp wall (and maybe mold, though maybe it was just the glue), and the shower didn’t really drain. Those things were pretty gross to me. It might have just been the room I stayed in

Poor Value for the Money
Stairs were miserable - steep and narrow - with luggage, and our room was on the third floor. The Owner contrives things to she does not have to be there to greet you, so we never met or even spoke except for her call to make certain I would not disturb her when we arrived. I asked two questions by email and she told me to look it up in a book provided in the room, when I got there. The information in the book was not helpful. There were pumps attached to the wall for shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. The bath gel reservoir was empty and there was a half-used block of Irish Spring in the shower soap dish. Very appealing... There was also a bottle of bath gel under the bathroom sink. The place is located in a somewhat run-down area of South Philadelphia. Not a slum, but between the location and the service, we probably paid about twice what this place was worth.

A 3-star boutique hotel that deserves 5-stars!
If you are visiting Philadelphia to take in the history and culture, Bella Vista is wonderful choice. It’s also very affordable, and frankly nicer than other 3 star hotels. We stayed in the LaGrande room and thought it was just lovely. Spacious, quirky, romantic, and just a fun space. The hotel itself is located in the South Philly/Little Italy neighborhood, and very walkable. All the major sites are within a 2 mile walking radius. There are not a lot of amenities in the hotel itself, so if you are looking for room service, and other things onsite this probably wouldn’t be the place for you. If you like traveling and living like a local, however, Bella Vista is a great choice. We’ll be back, for sure!

Not perfect, but interesting in Philly
Old home with some charm divided into "hotel" rooms. One bathroom on our floor for everyone with no towels in the bathroom. Obviously, a bit awkward for most people. Neighborhood was interesting, with a great Italian section nearby, including legendary cheesesteak hot spots Geno's and Pat's. Close to downtown, close to pro sports sites. Price makes "sacrifices" worth it for many.
