Immaculate! I don't write reviews often, but each time we've stayed at the Conwell Inn our room was extremely clean ... not a hair or speck of dust to be found. The staff is friendly and fun to talk to (many are students). The hotel is a converted old house, so it feels "antique" and has very few rooms. Very quaint and comfortable. This hotel is on Temple's campus in North Philadelphia so you'll hear "city sounds" but it's tucked away enough that it's not too bad at all (and I'm a very light sleeper).

Room great, location perfect. Bed way too soft and breakfast would have been nice. This part of Temple is lovely. Here for daughter in law Temple Law graduation and double reward ceremony. Parking lot location is great. Around the corner from 7-11 and bar/pizza place. Across from University library.

Booked this place specifically looking for a spot with Air Conditioning. When we got here we turned the A/C down and noticed no cool air blowing. We assumed that it just had to start up first and tried to sleep. Both of us barely got any sleep due to how hot this room became overnight. Upon speaking with the front desk in the morning they stated “oh we don’t cool in the winter” to which I said they specifically advertise A/C in the rooms. I got a reply that “we condition our rooms to be warm in the winter.” This is not what I would believe 99% of people mean when they book a place specifically with A/C. A quick search for the definition of Air Conditioning yields “Air conditioning, often abbreviated as A/C or AC, is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space to achieve a more comfortable interior environment.” Additionally the first week of October is not considered winter anywhere in the world… We tried opening the windows to make it cooler (which it did to be fair), but the noise on the street behind was super loud with truck backup noises and loud college students out late making it difficult to sleep.…

Rooms are big, right on Temple U. Campus. Food subway very close, movie theater and not far from Art Museum and Rocky Statue. The neighboring area is mixed income. We got around mostly by foot and subway.

This hotel is an older hotel that could use some updates. That being said, it was the perfect location for the graduation we were attending at the Liacouras center on Broad Street. We walked to the ceremony no problem and we had two older people in our party. The staff was very nice and generally accommodating. We had a couple of small hiccups, first, the tub in room 205 didn’t drain very well. Second, we requested a rollaway bed for our final night and were assured it would be put in the room, it never was. Lastly, our final day at the hotel housekeeping never materialized to clean or replace towels. These were all minor things, sure, but still a little annoying. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and if we ever needed to visit Philly again would certainly stay at the Connell Inn.…

Older hotel that could use some updates, but for the price you can't beat it. Toilet ran and was very loud, beds have no side support in the 2 queen rooms so not suitable for 2 people in bed. Peeling/ stained wallpaper in bathrooms. Rooms are clean, and basic with no microwave or fridge. One room the keys wouldn't work so the staff had to let us in each time. One room the door didn't latch all the way and could be pushed open and dead bolt didn't work. We had 4 rooms for one night. Cute place. Wish saxby's was open earlier but the 711 was very close. Signage to parking needs to be lit or painted better for nighttime. Easy to miss.

The best part of the Conwell Inn is the location. Smack in the center of campus, everything is walking distance. Once we parked our car, we were able to tour the campus and our son was able to get a real sense of the what it would be like to live on campus. The actual room was ok. Definitely needs some upgrades but the location made up for what the room lacked. The purpose of our visit was to see Temple and not relax in the room. I highly recommend it to any high school student looking to tour Temple.

I stayed two nights when visiting my son at Temple University for a performance. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location was convenient and right near the Performing Arts Center. I met the general manager and two front-desk staff who were college students. All were friendly and helpful. Some of the rooms were being renovated when I visited. The sound was noticeable from outside the front entrance. I worked during the day inside my room and it was completely quiet. Overall, I enjoyed a very pleasant stay!

Stayed here for 3 nights. The room was OK and nice and clean. The bathroom smallish and not well lit. Had toilet issues that were handled right away. Even tho we walked almost all over Philadelphia, it's definitely not centrally located. If you are visiting Temple University, it's fine. We believe hotel is in steps of 'renovation' - if basic/no breakfast is OK, this is a good option. GREAT coffee shop attached to it.
