This amazing historic house had lovely period decor at every turn. The hosts were accommodating, and the breakfasts were filling, varying each of the four mornings we were there to keep things interesting. One thing I especially appreciated was how the family kept the grounds up. Some places let their outdoor furniture get dusty, but not The Gables--you could go out and have your pick of seating areas on the porch or in the lawn, in top shape receive you.

I should start with i travel 3 weeks a month for business and mostly stay at hotels. Do not recall why I actually booked this B&B, but would not recommend this one. The people and communication were great, but the property is just old.

The staff was excellent, we were also close to the trolley line and the owners gave us excellent directions for our sightseeing adventures. Breakfast was super.

Highly recommended! We recently stayed with Cesar and his family for one night while passing through Philadelphia. When we arrived, we were met by Annette and her lovely son who showed us the house and our room. The decor is absolutely charming. There is a big porch and a garden with lots of seating when the weather is nice. All the rooms are named; ours was the Egan - private, detached bath. The mattress was SUPER comfortable and the bathroom was just next door. WiFi is good. They even stock a pantry with water, wine and snacks for guests and are available to give recommendations on what to see, where to eat, etc. Location is convenient and parking is on site, in a lot off the street. But the breakfast was our favorite! Cesar is an amazing chef (quiche, sausage, fruit and cake) and it’s so nice to sit with other guests in the dining room and chat. We will definitely stay at the Gables next time we are in Philly - you should too.

Cesar and Jeannette were so hospitable. Our room was great and we enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The location was convenient to my niece's apartment. The outside is a little worn but don't let that deter you. The inside is well kept with beautiful antiques. I would recommend staying here if the location is convenient for you.

We loved staying at the Gables bed-and-breakfast in Philadelphia. Everybody was so nice, the house was beautiful, our room was awesome and comfortable, and the breakfast was out of this world. We would love to come back one day!

Everything about our stay was perfect! It's a unique experience, kinda like stepping back in time 100 years.

This property provides a unique experience in an historic home. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It felt like home... and breakfast was delicious!

Nice hospitality

The property is beautiful and the people that run it are extremely nice. They treated us so well and made accommodations for my vegan friend. We appreciated having a comfy quiet place to rest after all our sight seeing, plus the delicious breakfast!

The staff and owners were wonderful. Our room was quiet, clean, and cool. There's a nice garden where we ate dinner one night. This is a historic b & b, so it doesn't have all of the amenities of a larger chain. We found it to be a charming, fun stay. There's a trolley stop right on the corner, so getting to the historic district of Philadelphia is super easy.

We loved our stay here! Annette and her son were gracious and friendly, the property is lovely and we slept like babies in our clean, super comfortable room. We would love to stay here again, thank you for your hospitality!

B&B hosts were very nice. Full breakfast was delicious. Plenty of complimentary water, coffee, tea and wine. I enjoy staying at B&Bs such as this one to step off the beaten path of chain hotels and enjoy the history such B&Bs provide. With that said, this place could use some help. Old and historic doesn’t have to also mean old, musty smelling and run down. It’s a beautiful home that could use some TLC and repair to bring back its glory.
