We absolutely loved our apartment at The Touraine. It was beautifully decorated, had high quality linens and was so clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were sad to leave but we'll be back for sure.

Perfect spot!

What a very pleasant surprise! We booked our stay a bit last minute to take our girls to see the Eagles Super Bowl Parade. The property is beautiful and our 2 bedroom room was super comfy, clean and well appointed. It will be difficult to stay anywhere else in the city after staying here. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Honestly, I don't think I can stay in a hotel again after my experience at the Touraine. It was phenomenal. I didn't feel like a guest, I felt like I was home.

Very cute place that's more like an apartment and not a hotel. Great location and walking distance to everything. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is that there is no TV in the bedroom. There is like a 32 inch tv in the living room which is very small. However in the bedroom there is no TV. Other than that 1 issue, it was a great place.

Perfect spot. Walking distance to all the fun.

Stayed in a studio apartment. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There was a bit of confusion around our check-in but everything was handled quickly and professionally. Beautiful lobby. Room was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Plenty of spots around for dinner and a market across the street for a quick snack. Pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was at night. It's a busy area, but even with a room on the first floor, we couldn't hear the buzz. (and it was the Eagles parade weekend) Only complaint was the bed was a bit too firm for my liking but the full pillows and super soft towels made up for it. Would stay again.

Beautiful historical apartment building with a few nightly rental units. The apartment was large, mid century furniture, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, very comfortable. The desk staff was friendly and willing to store our luggage upon checkout. We will stay again!

Bed clothing and Towels felt worn and dirty. Shampoo and soap was a fake from the outside lable Front desk could answer question, said call administrator. This place is more an Airbnb gig. Should not be here PIf price would be half, then everything would make sense

Cute and comfortable

I loved staying here! I visit Philly about once a month and this is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed so far. It had all the comforts of home and the decor was so cute. The staff was friendly but I could tell they were adjusting to having temporary guests at their property. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone.

Looks good, but...

Furnishing are lovely, location is great. However...suite 105 sits over a portion of the basement with a motor that runs 24/7, creating a vibration and a very noticeable hum. The fan on the a/c did not drown it out. I tried earplugs and it only seemed to magnify the hum. The cleaning fee seems excessive when you are expected to strip the bed, place all linens in the tub, run dishwasher and take out the trash and recyclables. If you want a place that looks good, plan on cooking and can sleep through anything then okay, I recommend it. Otherwise find another place, I know I will.

Great central location in quiet building, adjacent hip cafe; stores, wine bars, restaurants and sights nearby. The apartment is well appointed with minimalist Japanese/Scandinavian furnishings. Luxe at a reasonable price.
