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.

Liked: The location and the historical significance of the home. It was great to be in walking distance of so much. The breakfast was wonderful!
Disliked: The long journey up to our room on narrow, winding stairs trying to carry a large suitcase. We also had trouble getting to sleep due to motorcycles constantly racing by and loud, boisterous bicyclists raising havoc outside until 2:30 am.

Liked: We really enjoyed our stay: 200+ year old building in the best location that the current owners highlight with pictures and a history timeline. Room was clean although a little cramped as expected for a B&B this old. Decent wifi, good water pressure. Staff was excellent, offering a basic breakfast of bagles, cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice. Every evening they have a self serve wine happy hour with red and white in their comfortable lounge, where you get to meet other guests. Parking was convenient, right next door at a cost of $30/day, but other places nearby charged $50 or more, so not complaining.
Disliked: Just minor items: Bed was a little uncomfortable and the AC needed frequent adjusting through the night.

Charming B&B

Liked: Very charming place in the city center, nicely decorated, a lot of historic information provided on the walls. Nice breakfast room and lobby.Good breakfast. Parking nearby, not exactly cheap but ok.
Disliked: Clearer information about the parking. Room a bit small but no problem.
