The Gables is exactly what a B&B should be. It has an excellent host, features a very fine breakfast buffet (this B&B has ten rooms, so do not expect individually cooked breakfasts), a charming house (if you like late 19th century bric-a-brac) and an excellent, quiet location. Another plus is that the place is close to the University of Pennsylvania... More

We have stayed at the Gables 4 times in the last couple of years. We keep coming back beause of the comfort, as well as the relative value. The Gables is conveniently located in University City and all of Philadelphia can be easily accessed vis public transportation. Dan and Warren are wonderful hosts - friendly, attentive, and helpful.

This B&B was great ... I loved everything here, and the room was fantastic! Would definitely stay again.

I have stayed in many B&Bs and historic homes over the years, and I have to say The Gables is the best I have stayed in. The house is stunning and immaculate, yet very cozy. The hosts are welcoming, just the right mixture of business and sociability.The website photos just do not do the house justice. I stayed 2 nights,... More

Visits to The Gables is like returning home. All the rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is outstanding, and the inn keepers very friendly. Located on a train line, it could not be more convenient to the city.

Our room was lovely (although if you will be needing a desk while you are there, make sure you ask for a room with one - there are several). Internet... More

We recently visited our daughter in Philly and spent 3 nights at The Gables. This beautiful home is impeccably clean and maintained and offers a feast for the eyes.

We stayed here for 4 nights in September and it was just wonderful, the room was great and the breakfast was awesome. Don and Warren were very helpful with directions and things to do. The trolly stopped right out front which made getting around very easy. Loved our stay at The Gables!!

The Gables was a very nice place. Very clean and comfy. The breakfasts were very good and the inn keepers delightful. The trolley runs right on the corner, just be sure to catch the one going in the right direction! GPS lead us straight to the place without any problems. Will surely stay here again if in the Philly area.
