Excellent stay. The location was perfect for a quick weekend getaway with my husband. The room we stayed in was just perfect. Self check in was seamless and easy. I was grateful to Lokal for allowing us an early check in due to my having a migraine when I arrived. I felt very accommodated and will absolutely be back. The room is an entire vibe. I can’t wait to come back!

Hotel is quiet and homey feeling It is well stocked in kitchen with high end appliances. The entertainment system is good though we didn't not use as much. There is no elevator so travel light as you will have to carry your luggage. Location is great! For running, close to front street/water front with a Cool breeze Plenty of options with restaurants especially coffee and cafes with local vibes Neighborhood more local than though close enough to tourist spots Receptive hotel owner with Easy communication. Personally contacted me when there was an issue and willingness to resolve the issue immediately Overall great stay! If issue resolved, we would stay again

We booked this spot last-minute during an unexpected overnight layover in Philly and were so glad we did. The location in Old City was perfect—super walkable and felt very safe, even walking to grab a late-night Philly cheesesteak after 11pm on a Saturday. It was a little chilly, but still such a fun way to experience the neighborhood. The property itself was beautiful—exactly as pictured, but honestly even better in person. It was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. We saved it to stay again if we’re ever back in the area! The only small downside was the stairs—being on the top floor meant a bit of a climb, especially with luggage, but the space, view, and location made it totally worth it.

Great hotel!

The Lokal is in a great location, it's well designed and the attention to detail is amazing. It has great little touches, like asking how you like your coffee and tip-top bath products for you to use.

Was only here a night but will be back! TV casting is my preferred method so I love that it came with that. iPad for controls & everything you need info on. Bathroom is beautiful! Bar cart could use a couple more options but 10/10. Be mindful that this is stairs only & The Ben is on the 4th floor!

Short trip to Philly. Room and layout was fine with nice view. Overall, comfortable but, bathrooms were not very clean. The floors were dirty and need to be properly cleaned. The grout in many place was BLACK with mold. Faint smell as if an exterminator had been there. Also, the coffee mugs could use replacing, there was a lot of old coffee residue.

We stayed at Lokal for our wedding weekend. It was absolutely perfect - the room was pristine and beautiful. There was spotify included in the in room iPad as well as in unit w/d. Check in was easy and we even got a complimentary bottle of prosecco! We highly recommend Lokal for any special occasion!

I love the whole "self check-in" option. I received all the info needed to access the building and room ahead of time and getting in was no problem. The "room" is bright, airy, and spacious; a cute studio apartment basically. We only stayed a night but it has everything you'd need for a longer stay, including a W/D. Located in a great part of town, with parking and lots of places to eat within walking distance. Would definitely stay again!

Such a special special special place. Gorgeous interior design and so my heart and thoughtfulness in the rooms. Super cool overall hospitality concept. Every detail was thorough and perfectly placed. Luxe without feeling stuffy. Lived in and homey while still being organized and subtle. Neighborhood was great and the in room guide was like your best friend giving the “lokal” scoop on where to go/eat/see. Couldn’t have been happier…unless an elevator could be added for carrying my kiddos belongings up the narrow and steep stairs. All part of the period-appropriate charm!

The room was beautiful and well appointed. I agree with some others that the curtains need to be darker bc the sun blasts into the room in the morning on this side of the building (we were in the Will room). Refrigerator was making some kind of high-pitched whining when we got in after our concert (after midnight) so we had to wear ear plugs to sleep…and the wooden bed frame is very creaky when your partner rolls over. It was very comfortable though and the amenities were terrific. Getting room access was super easy once we located the entrance door. Loading zone was taken when we arrived, but we were able to pull in at the next block to unload.
