The stay was great. I will stay at the hotel again when I return in May. My only complaint is not having an outlet at the bedside to keep my phone charged. Thanks.

Excellent value. Everything I needed for a short stay

Poor front disk service, the staff is not professional and works extremely slowly.
No coffee maker in the room. The chairs are not comfortable. The power supplies are put far away from the desk and chairs, it’s inconvenient to charge the cellphone.

It was a cold rainy day and i was wet and cold when i checked in. I arrived at the room and it was 56 degrees. Not sure i’ve ever checked into a room w that temperature! It took quite a while to warm up

Pros: Service is excellent…close proximity to campus and places to eat. Very clean and neat. The water gets nice and hot
Cons: Rooms are college dormish so don’t expect refrigerators or microwave or coffee machine… electrical outlets are also at a minimum and randomly placed.

A short but lovely stay! Beautiful hotel and the room was perfect. The staff was professional, friendly, attentive and smiling. And alert, which is not part for the course anymore. Good people.

I have been to The Study in the past on business and always had a great experience; however, when my business meeting was moved from Jan 24th to Feb 21, I was unable to update my reservation without losing the entire night's charge because it was within the 24 hour policy window. I didn't ask to get my money back, but only to change the date. I am very disappointed that an exception could not have been made, especially since I will be traveling monthly to Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. If this review is taken into consideration, I am open to hearing back from someone to resolve. I can be reached at 301-980-1451. Otherwise, I suppose I will have to find another hotel that understands better events that are outside of my control. Thank you for your consideration.

While booking my reservation, I was not warned about the breakfast option as not available due to the holidays. We as a family had to starve for the 2 days of stay for our breakfast. If hotels take vacations then we need not.

Loved everything about the place. And I got a drink voucher!!! Stressful day with hubby at penn hospital. Had to stay overnight while he was at hospital. Couldn’t be a more welcoming place other than my own home. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. The bar and restaurant was inviting. Felt nice sitting at the bar relaxing with my Prosecco. Location is awesome too.

The staff greeted me with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for what was a fabulous experience.
The room exceeded all expectations - spacious, impeccably clean, with a breathtaking view of Center City.
What truly sets The Study apart is the service. Every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their attention to detail and genuine care was remarkable.
My stay was phenomenal. I'll be back for business regularly and intend to stay here each time. The combination of luxurious accommodations, great dining, excellent facilities, and unparalleled service made this an unforgettable experience for my first time in Philly. Highly recommend this for proximity to Philly locations, especially University Science Center, Drexel, and Penn.

We were excited to stay at the hotel. Loved the atmosphere when you walked in. Super close to Drexel. However, upon entering the room, one of the women in our party went to hang her coat in the closet, only to have the closet door fall off its track. The room had not been thoroughly cleaned and all the phones had been unplugged. We were moved to another room which needed some attention. There were scratches and scuffs on all the walls, again one of the phones didn't work and more. We emailed the hotel and were addressed by the desk when we were checking out. We were given breakfast vouchers and told the manager would call but never followed up. Additionally, to add insult to injury - when given a new room, we were told to gather all our belongings and bring them down to the desk with the keys to exchange for the new room. No assistance was offered to make it more convenient for the guests affected by the hotel's lack of quality and cleanliness. Disappointed is how I felt about our stay at the Study

Very convenient location if you are visiting Penn, Dexel, or one of the hospitals in the area. Nice, spacious rooms and well designed bathroom. Well decorated. Staff was incredibly helpful. My only modest complaints were that the doors let in a bit of noise from the hall and there is a bit of city noise from the windows - being the hotel is in an urban area.

Stayed here for Drexel Family Weekend. Loved the very early coffee service and available oat milk. Courteous staff and accommodating with early check in, late check out and larger room. Nice that The Study also had a nice Hor'd Erves hour for Drexel families.

Comfortable, clean and v good service. No coffee maker in room. Fridge and microwave on request. Coffee and tea in lobby, but just for a short time in the morning. Constant access to tea service would be nice. Restaurant was decent though pricey.

Upon arrival the entrance and lobby were impressive, safe was wonderful and pleasant. However our room was something completely different. Stains on the floors, an air mattress that had a hole for the sofa bed, dirty doors and a leaking shower. I do have pictures if anyone would like them. For the price of one night I expected more out of this room.

We had a lovely stay at The Study at University
We needed to be in the city because I was a runner in the Rocket Run 2023 and it located in the area we needed to be. Clean and safe
Thank you for an enjoyable stay
Bath products were an unexpected delight

Currently, there is a construction going on next to the hotel, and the work seem to start at 5am on a daily basis (it is possible that it starts early, it is just from 5am the noise gets very loud). The location of the hotel is perfect for visitors to Penn and Drexel, but the construction noise during the night/early morning makes it impossible to get a good night sleep.
