An amazing Victorian-style property that has been in the family since 1900. The room and food were exceptional, but the what sets the place apart is the hospitality. Would definitely stay here again. Convenient to public transportation on a quiet street.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I am grateful that you enjoyed your stay so well and that you took for time to share your experience with our future guests. I hope to see you again.
Great night in Philadelphia in this charming B & B - beds were comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Relaxed and read in the peaceful parlor while waiting for two family members attending a concert at the nearby Mann Center. Mark was so helpful and accommodating!
R&R are so vital to our enjoyment of life and it makes me so happy that you were able fit it in during your visit. With that and an electrifying concert at the nearby Mann Music Center can be just what the doctor ordered for an amazing weekend in Philly. I'm so glad that you had such a great time and look forward to seeing you again.
What a find! My wife and I were in Philly visiting our grandchildren for the day. My son surprised us with an overnight stay in this really beautiful B&B. We were going to crash at his house, but he and his wife are looking to buy a house in Manayunk, and wanted our opinion of the town, so they said " we got you a B&B, go explore" and I am so glad we did, as we love going to places we have never been to. My wife went to check in, and I stayed in the car, as I wanted to go look at the town and get some food as we had been on the road for 4 hours. As I sat in the car, I got a surprise of a knock on my window, and it was Mark, one of the owners, who wanted to come introduce himself. I thought that was awesome. He is extremely friendly, and we had a nice chat about the history of the B&B, and the town in general. Mark recommended a couple of great places to eat. We stayed in the English Garden Suite. First and foremost the room was CLEAN! The room was decorated exactly how I expected it to be, fun wallpaper, big king size bed, with big pillows & high ceilings. Mark was kind enough to have the A/C on, as I had called to say we would be there about 2:30, and it was about 95 degrees that day. There was a vintage couch and chair in the room (pics) There was no TV in the room ( Thank God ). The room is perfect for 2 people who haven't over-packed. What the room lacks in size is made up with a huge parlor (pics) downstairs, and a nice sized outdoor porch. In the parlor there is complimentary water, seltzer,coffee, tea, beer and wine! They also had fresh fruit , and candy dishes filled with fun candy, so my wife and I stayed down there for a while listening to the perfectly picked out music playing. The B&B is walking distance to the town, and it's a really fun town to walk around and be a tourist in. There are coffee shops, bars, restaurants, clothing stores, antique stores, (you must check out Jinxed Variety), and an Insomnia cookie shop, and furniture stores. The town even has a vegan bakery, Crust ( we took home some delicious poptarts! ). This B&B is also walking distance to Pretzel Park (look it up). Manayunk is a unique town, lots of hills, pockets of fun areas. I will say the parking can be challenging, but Mark went out of his way to help us...there is street parking, during the day ( pay ), and there is a parking lot that you can stay as long as you want, but you pay by the hour. I believe after 8:00 street parking on Main Street is free. Don't let the parking scare you from coming to this awesome B&B, or this cool town. My biggest regret was that we had to miss breakfast, as we were going antiquing in CT, and well you know how I-95 is. But i am sure you can see from other pictures, and reviews, the breakfast is a real treat here. I look forward to coming back to Manayunk Chambers Guest House, and this fun little town!
It thrills me to know how much you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your thorough and very complimentary review. It was wonderful having you both stay with us. Next time I hope you are able to make time to enjoy your breakfast before you have to leave. ;)
My wife and I stayed in the Pariesienne room which was full of oak furniture, a very comfy bed, elegant private bath, with two large windows overlooking a tranquil tree lined street in lovely Manayunk. Our charming host, Mark is a trained pastry chef and prepared a continental breakfast with homemade croissants, bread, scones, muffins, granola, berries and greek yogurt. My wife and I are foodies so we chatted at length on the food/hospitality business and the pros and cons of life in Philadelphia vs NYC. Manayunk is only 18 minutes by SEPTA from the Redding Market in downtown which is a food bazaar without equal in NYC. We highly recomment Manayunk Chambers Guest House and Quarters and definitely plan to return.
It was so much fun chatting with you about food in my two most favorite cities in the US. I am thrilled at how much you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your excellent post about all that Manayunk and the city of Philadelphia has to offer.
Wonderful place to stay while visiting Philadelphia. Beautiful room with a very comfortable bed. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Wonderful continental breakfast, also close to several restaurants. Our host Mark was so friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend Manayunk Chambers Guest House.
Thank you for your incrdibly kind words. I am quite proud of the fact that Manayunk is the 5th safest neighborhood in the City of Philadelphia out of nearly 150 neighborhoods total. So happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit.
