The Dwight D

I visited Philadelphia for the first time last weekend (April) and loved the city, so I’ll definitely go back to visit. And when I go back, I’ll only stay at The Dwight D. It’s in such a perfectly charming location, so we never had to venture far. But if we did, nothing was too far of a walk. The hotel itself is so beautiful and quaint. Our room (2R on the second floor) was gorgeous, comfortable, and had a lovely balcony. This was a couple’s getaway, so I found the room very romantic and cozy. This was honestly a wonderful experience, and the owner, Vittoria, was really helpful and friendly. Anytime we needed something to make our stay more comfortable (wine glasses, etc.), she was more than happy to hook us up. And when I was looking to book a room in the first place, Vittoria was extremely responsive. That’s great hospitality! I think this is the perfect place, but I don’t want everyone to know because, again, I won’t stay anywhere else in Philly if I can help it. That said, I can’t recommend it enough and am very grateful for the memorable experience.

Loved the location of The Dwight D. It is surrounded by many cafes and restaurants, which are all walking distance from the hotel. Very safe neighborhood. The hotel is very comforting and has modern amenities. The host Vittoria and her husband are super friendly and they have great knowledge of Philadelphia. Amazing stay!

I greatly enjoyed my stay at the Dwight D. Vittoria looked after our every need, was enthusiastic and helpful. The hotel is beautifully situated to walk every neighborhood in this terrific city! Vittoria was also immediately helpful to sort out our bill as I’d made reservations for two rooms and my traveling companions wanted to pay for their room separately. Done and Dusted!
I was in 3 °F and the wi-​fi didn’t extend to that floor. I think the issue is being addressed but you might want to check if this is important to you. I used the downstairs sitting rooms to use the wi-fi…very comfortable and private BUT if you want to use it in your room take a lower floor.
The Dwight D is a welcome change from the usual cookie cutter chain hotel experience while having every comfort and having a superior location.
I’ll return!

Recently stayed the weekend @ the Dwight D and couldn’t have had a more pleasant experience. If you are looking for a bed&breakfast vibe with access to all Philly neighborhoods and attractions, this is your place.
Victoria, the owner, was attentive, helpful, energetic and accommodating. It was easy to arrange a late arrival and she even held our luggage on Sunday so we could explore the city before leaving.
The building is pre-​war/​historic/​Victorian with very updated amenities and decorating. We loved the soft robes and round stone floored shower. Our room had a balcony that overlooked a courtyard, which was an added bonus.
Would recommend to anyone who wants to deviate from the sterile hotel experience. And you can’t beat the Dwight Ds location! I hope to be back soon.
