Top Germantown Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for six nights with my young kids. We had an amazing time - the hotel was clean, quiet, and in a perfect location. We walked everywhere - Independence Hall, the art museums, Chinatown, Rittenhouse Square, City Hall - with no issue. We walked to a train to see a Phillies game and it was a pleasure. The breakfast buffet was a smidge expensive for what it was, but you have Reading Terminal Market right below you and plenty of alternate breakfast options. I would stay here every visit to Philly, no question."

Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel close to the airport. Dinner was pub fare and ok but cocktails not so good. Top shelf items and prices, not sure the bartender is able to do much more than a g&t or rum and coke. The room seemed nice but I had to call the front deck as our remote was missing. Phone did not work? Got my remote ok after going down to the front desk. In the morning I learned the coffee maker was also broken. Bathroom was very tired. Clean and neat enough for a quick stay for business travel. Breakfast was 19 dollars but well done. Fitness center was good and they have a pool"

Hampton Inn by Hilton Philadelphia International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Short stay for me. Booked the hotel after 11pm, got there after 12am. Left at 6am. Only issue was I had no body wash and lotion (bottles were empty) so that was disappointing. May have had to do with the fact that it was a super last minute booking on my part. Other than that it was no problems and I didn’t really need anything, just needed a place to sleep for a few hours. Room was very nice as was the bathroom. Staff was kind and helpful."
