Buona esperienza
Pros:

Struttura moderna e pulita, posizionata in un quartiere tranquillo.

Cons:

L’unico difetto che ho trovato è stata la carenza di asciugamani in bagno. Eravamo in camera in quattro (due adulti e due bambini) e avevamo a disposizione solamente tre teli per la doccia; nessun altro asciugamano (mani, viso, lavette, ecc) e nemmeno il tappetino che si utilizza fuori dalla doccia. Penso che segnalando la cosa alla struttura, avrebbero posto rimedio. Ma noi ci siamo fermati solo per una notte quindi mi sono adattata.

Excellent proximity to things to do/places to eat, nice rooms
Pros:

Nice clean rooms, very friendly service and staff. Excellent proximity to great restaurants and walking spaces. Beds are very soft. Room is organized and has a ironboard and iron in it already! Lots of spaces to put luggage and table tops to place things.

Cons:

Nitpicky things but: Entrance is in an alley and right next to a bunch of dumpsters on the block which isn't great. Water pressure felt surprisingly low for the sink and the shower. Couches in room and rugs could all use a deep clean

Will not visit again due to the room and cleaning rate
Pros:

The staff were really nice and helpful

Cons:

You know when you feel something is not that clean! This is the feeling that I had all night I couldn’t sleep comfortably. Plus, note that the bathroom is divided into 2 sides ! Once you enter the room, a right door for the shower and sink, then the ail for the room, then a left room for the toilet!

Worst hotel stay ever - they will rent out the restaurants and guests have no food options
Pros:

I have been a travel blogger for a long time and this was the most egregiously over-priced and inconvenient stay I have ever had. They price gauged that weekend and charged over $800 per night for rooms that should have been maybe $350 and maybe $500 on a surge. That is being generous as there was nothing outstanding. However, the real complaint is that it said there were multiple restaurants and upon arrival guests were informed that they had sold those out for a "private event" now mind you there is nothing private about it. It is open to the hotel so it was crazy loud, but roped off so guests could not access any seating nor food. The wildest part though is that on top of that they closed room service!! Now, keep in mind they don't offer lunch period. I am not sure why, but they only do breakfast and dinner and a brunch on weekends so there is not lunch at all. They did say they had breakfast, dinner, and room service which is a lot of the reason I paid the ridiculous $800 per night for the convenience. Well...that was not the case. Instead, they billed guests this crazy amount of money and provided no food options then double-dipped and sold out the venue at the inconvenience of the over-charged guests who had no restaurants, no room service, and couldn't handle the extreme noise of the few lobby seats we were still allowed to use. Just greedy and horrible.

It was cool
Pros:

Everything was quite lovely; the staff was excellent, and the location left nothing to be desired. If you’re ever in the city of Philadelphia and looking for a place to stay, I recommend it.

Great for Convention Centre delegates
Pros:

I had a fantastic stay at the Hyatt Centric Philadelphia. The hotel is finished to a very high standard, with modern, spotless rooms and immaculate public areas, including the gym. The fitness centre was well equipped, clean and had everything I needed.

The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming and always happy to help, which really made a difference throughout my stay.

I was visiting for a conference, and the location was perfect. It was within easy walking distance of the convention centre, shops, restaurants and many of Philadelphia’s main attractions. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe walking around both during the day and in the evening.

I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Philadelphia, whether for business or leisure.

I WAS CHARGED TWICE AND, AFTER ALMOST A YEAR, I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REFUND:
Pros:

I stayed here on August 15, 2025; the reservation was prepaid, yet Hyatt charged my card again.

The Hyatt manager confirmed that I am owed a refund, but despite submitting the form and sending numerous emails, I have still not received the money back.

I have attached the evidence.

Please address this matter as soon as possible before the situation escalates.

A walkable place to stay
Pros:

A beautiful hotel, quiet and clean. Easy walking to everything. Starbucks around the corner, breakfast places galore, and too many good restaurants nearby - it was hard to make a decision of where to go! A lovely hotel.

Happy Time in Philly
Pros:

My bed was exceptionally comfortable and the room was quiet and well configured for myself and a friend. I liked the location close to Walnut St. and Rittenhouse Square.
