It was strange to get to our room and see - instead of a street view or any sort of view that offers natural light - we saw a ballroom. Where a man was standing. Looking at us. NO THANKS BEBE.

I am VERY disappointed in this place! I requested a city view, didn’t get it, requested a room with a bathtub, didn’t get it! There were supposed to be robes in the room, NONE! No restaurants were open in hotel, my room had torn sheets, and no where to actually plug my electronics in! For the price I paid, I certainly expected a better experience!!!!!

This place has gone downhill. If check in as a certain time, the room needs to be ready. You already have one of the latest check ins around (4pm) and travelers rely on this. Feels like a bunch of kids trying to run their first hotel.

Our room is large and rather without personality but we like it. There were no bathrobes and they were not provided until I asked a second time, 5-1/ hours later. The phone in the room either doesn't work or is too hard for us to figure out. The room has been very cold but a friendly service technician came up and found the previous tenant had found the room too warm so the unit had been set to provide only cold air. The temperature had been quiet for a number of days but lately it has been in the high sixties during the day and down to freezing at night. We're still waiting on an extra blanket but it looks like we won't need it. There are loud guests in the hallway and it's past midnight. Also, only one of the robes has a belt, but I may have dropped it since they gave me robes at the front desk and the belts were not attached. I filled this out because I received a request to submit concerning our check-in experience, but the questions include much more.

I found the front desk to be cool, and was generally underwhelmed by my welcome. It also seemed understaffed. I found the room extremely mediocre with aging infrastructure, and I could not get hot water out of the tap. There were less expensive options on your site, and I felt that paying over $400 a night. Should’ve got me a better experience.

Great historic hotel in downtown Philadelphia. The staff were excellent. The room was good for the age of the hotel. My one major complaint was the noise from outside. From 9pm throughout the night, dirt bikes and loud vehicles drive recklessly down the road echoing into the hotel. There is no noice insulation. This is a major problem and will keep people from visiting this city if things do not change.

I was excited to stay at the Bellevue but upon arriving the hotel lobby seemed dingy and musty smelling. The layout was confusing and we had to get help from an employee to find the checkout. We were given no direction prior to our stay in regards to the location of their parking facility. I had to go inside and ask while my husband drove aimlessly around the streets of Philly. The elevators were a bit scary, even for an old building. They are in the middle of renovations, which is understandable but some of the stairs led to nowhere. Trying to avoid the creepy elevators seemed impossible. Our room was nice with the exception of the bathroom toilet paper holder falling off the wall. It was quickly fixed when I brought it to the staffs attention. The restaurant on the 19th floor is beautiful! The food was good and the staff was excellent. We decided to cut our stay short and move on with our travels because we were in all honesty disappointed with the hotel itself, especially for the price! Parking was an additional $45 per day and there were extra fees tacked on when we checked in for "incidentals"... The staff was professional and very nice but the hotel did not meet our expectations.

The Bellevue is a very unique experience due to the hotel's history. Pros: Very conveniently located in the heart of the city, unique architectural elements, lots of history. Cons: Very loud facing Broad Street throughout the night (ATVs, dirt bikes, slingshots, etc). We asked to move rooms and were told that they were sold out, however we saw very few other hotel guest during our stay. I know the noise is a City of Philadelphia problem, however, the hotel was not accommodating in helping the situation. Also, our room was only cleaned once during our 5 day stay.

The general staff were excellent. Management is TERRIBLE. We checked in on 6/15/23 to a Deluxe King room, pre paid through Expedia. The next morning water was pouring through the bathroom fan and the bedroom ceiling, NOT dripping, pouring. My shoes and backpack were wet. We were eventually moved to another room, NOT a comparable room. Not one single manager bothered to call us to make sure we were ok, was the other room satisfactory, were our things ok, etc. Two separate staff members told us a manager would call. Not one manager called. I wanted a refund for the difference between the Deluxe King room I prepaid for and the dark, "atrium" room we were moved to. Literally had to keep the lights on all day. The hotel told us to go to Expedia because we booked through them. I was on the phone for an hour with Expedia, who, after trying very hard, were told by the hotel that no refund would be given. Worst customer service from supposedly a 4.5 star hotel I've ever had - and we travel extensively, all over the country. Also, if anyone is thinking of staying here, the "general" restroom for hotel guests is on the 19th floor! The hotel is old and dated. It does look very grand from the outside, but is in serious need of an update. All of those things I would normally push aside, but water pouring through the ceiling and no management acknowledgement is unacceptable. We did get our cocktails on Thursday night taken off the bill. Doesn't compensate for terrible management.

The property was beautiful and the service was top notch. However, we reserved a two queen bed room and we were given a king bed room. We had to have a rolling bed sent to the room to accommodate us. The rolling bed took up the remaining available space in the room. We stayed 3 nights in a crowded room barely large enough to accommodate 3 people and our luggage. My husband had to sleep on a rolling twin bed. We were told we would be moved if any double queen rooms became available, but this did not happen.

Buyer Beware
The room was inaccurately depicted online, based on what we received upon arrival. The shower curtain was extremely moldy & the shower itself was covered in someone else's hair. The sheets were torn & ill-fitting & the mattress was uncomfortable. The coffee maker in the room was broken & inoperable, as was the iron. The staff were decidedly rude upon check in & not especially helpful throughout the stay. Food options available were old & overpriced. In all, this was an unfortunate & expensive room selection.
