Was fine, only stayed briefly, one night.

Stayed in July 2025

I booked the room through booking.com about 4 months before our visit. The price for 2 adults and 2 children (11 and 13 years old) was just under 300 USD with breakfast. After checking in I was told that breakfast was only for 2 people. The only solution was to pay for 2 breakfasts. Price on booking.com on the day was 60usd lower. There was no hand soap in the room, but this was solved very quickly by stuff. During our stay there was still a smell of marijuana in the hallway close to our room. The receptionist sent security, but unfortunately it was the same within an hour and during the night. A very unpleasant experience.

Location, very spacious rooms, well equipped rooms, nice gym. Update: After posting the review, I was quickly contacted by the hotel management and offered compensation for the problems, which I really appreciate.

Breakfast itself and service at breakfast was pretty poor! The restaurant is a concession so make sure you get your coupon if your breakfast is included in your room rate! Parking is also really expensive!

Great location. Comfy rooms! The milk and cookies coupon for the kids was a very cute touch!

My room was a tad small, the street noise was loud

Staff is phenomenal, location is perfect, being dog friendly was icing on the cake

Pillows were not comfortable. Couldn’t get a thin one.

Location. Breakfast. 5 pm wine

Our first room was not clean and there was a torn window shade. We requested a room change and the result was excellent.

Staff friendliness and courtesy, wine in the evening, location.

Valet parking very overpriced. Restaurant had limited menu and poor service. Not worth the price.

Great location. Complementary happy hour. Friendly staff at front desk.

Wonderful breakfast & happy hour. Everyone at the hotel was super friendly & helpful, and there are many fun restaurants and bars very close to the hotel. Great stay!

The room was very clean and comfortable tho on the small side. No robes or slippers, but a yoga mat? The staff was friendly and I do recommend the breakfast at the restaurant in the lobby - the eggs Benedict were most excellent.

The elevator and hall are a bit dark and dingy.

Great location for hitting local stores and restaurants in Central Philly.

Rooms aren’t cheap, but hotels in the area that are not as nice are charging similar rates

Unfortunately we only stayed one night since we are within an hour’s proximity, but decided to book Kimpton because of their convenient pet-friendly policy. We ended up not having our dog that night, but I would definitely stay here again. The staff was outrageously helpful and friendly, the hotel is beautiful, clean and well appointed, beds super comfortable, and the convenience of the restaurant attached (bar makes a good stiff drink) made Kimpton Palomar the perfect place to stay. I plan on staying here again in the future.

Can't say. Was only here for a night.

Breakfast was okay. Warm and ambient atmosphere.

I would have sacrificed some bathroom space for living/bedroom space. The bathroom was huge and nice though. Jacuzzi tub not really necessary. Impossible to get a breakfast table unless you made a reservation ahead. Wait would have been 1 hr if no reservation. Good thing I stayed several days to find that out. No one's fault but there was a fire alarm that went off at 11 pm. A bit inconvenient, as one of my kids was already asleep and I had to wake him.

Room was clean and comfortable. Lots of amenities like happy hour w/ wine selection, free non buffet breakfast, $20 room credit per night for snacks, nice gym.

every time I called the front desk with a question or request, the answer was a hard “no”, I didn’t feel there was a genuine desire to help and/or accommodate.

nice hotel and good location.

The overall experience was great! Awesome location, walking distance to other restaurants, shopping stores etc. The cleanliness could have been better. I wore all black sweats upon my arrival and sat on the couch to watch TV, and as soon as I got up, I noticed a nice amount of animal hair on my pants. The center table in the sitting area looked to have dog food on it. The bathroom shower head had grime on it. Appeared white and brown. The bathroom sink stopper was jamed down. When running water, there was no release.

Fireplace at the freezing day was exceptional. And Happy hour with warming red wine was exclusive. Not to mention a nice company sharing the Happy hour at the fireplace...

Spacious room, classy and comfortable, good shower. Outside noise disturbed my sleep, but hotel can’t really control this. Restaurant was good, but it’s busy so make a reservation, even for breakfast.

I seemed to have been given the wrong room but I got in late and the room was still nice so I didn't bother to mention it

A very nice hotel, and they offer some great perks

City living sometimes can be challenging. And in this case, the valet parking was a bit challenging. With no true access of moving your car off the street and thus getting in and out with traffic all around, this “task” was difficult. The staff was courteous, helpful and polite. The accommodations were fine. The location was perfect. The extra charges & hidden fees were a bit ridiculous. Too many extra charges. This should have been more upfront.

I didn't like they did not have a refrigerator or a microwave inside of the room but had a mini bar

I like the restaurant and I like the bathroom inside of my hotel room

First elevator I ride up in was in need of renovation. A bad first impression. And the lobby corridor was dark

Room was clean bed comfy
