The Spotlight on Thomas Bond House Bed and Breakfast

Charming Historic Retreat in the Heart of Old City


Step back in time without sacrificing modern comforts at the Thomas Bond House Bed and Breakfast. This elegant, colonial-style B&B is nestled in the heart of Philadelphia’s Old City, just steps from iconic landmarks and a short ride to the city’s top concert venues. With free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and thoughtful touches like in-room wine or champagne, this cozy inn blends historic charm with convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it


Location is everything, and this B&B delivers. You're just a quick walk or ride-share away from popular venues and the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Enjoy a peaceful night’s rest in a quieter part of the city, away from the late-night noise. With private check-in and check-out and a friendly, secure atmosphere, it’s ideal for guests arriving late or heading out early.

Who this Hotel is great for


Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
Solo travelers attending a must-see show
Fans seeking a peaceful, post-show recovery spot
Budget-conscious travelers seeking value in a prime location
Small groups looking for a unique and memorable stay

Food and Drink Options


Start your day right after a late night with a continental breakfast of fresh pastries and fruit. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the B&B is surrounded by a wide range of walkable eateries, cafés, and bars in the vibrant Old City neighborhood.

Nightlife Options


While the inn itself is a quiet retreat, you’re just minutes from some of the city’s best bars, lounges, and live music spots. Whether you're in the mood for craft cocktails or a relaxed pint, you won’t have to go far.

What People Say


Guests rave about the historic charm, warm hospitality, and incredibly convenient location. Many love the unique character of the rooms, the peaceful setting, and the ease of getting to nearby venues and attractions. It’s especially praised for being a quiet, relaxing spot after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that the historic building means smaller rooms and no elevators, so those with mobility concerns may want to request a lower floor. Noise from the street can occasionally be heard, though it’s generally quieter than other city-center stays.

The Bottom Line


If you’re looking for a charming, well-located hideaway to unwind after the show, Thomas Bond House Bed and Breakfast hits the right note.

Historic, peaceful, something different than...

Liked: Amazing location, quaint, friendly staff, an oasis in the hustling city. The rooms are very tiny though and can get stuffy. The windows can open luckily but then it gets noisier. Free breakfast on weekends, coffee and water available. Parking is right next door (check the price because it can go up since it’s been posted here).

Not your typical B&B experience...

Liked: Loved the historic nature of the property.
Disliked: Coffee and tea station in the communal room was subpar for a b&b. Coffee was old; no kettle to boil hot water, no mugs or tea cups available, no milk or fresh cream. Breakfast was subpar.Additionally, the temperature of the upstairs rooms was sweltering.

Overall a good stay

Liked: The staff was very courteous and helpful. The location was unbeatable. The complimentary wine, coffee, tea and cookies were much appreciated.
Disliked: Breakfast could have offered more varieties, especially the "hot breakfast" on weekend. Pillows felt too soft.

Exceptional

Liked: I appreciated the charming decor.The breakfast was much more than indicated online. It pleasantly exceeded my expectations.It seemed as though the people who prepared the room actually stayed in it and made sure everything that would be needed was provided. It was a comfortable and pleasant stay.
