About this place The Gables Bed and Breakfast Philadelphia

The Gables is a bed and breakfast in a large Victorian house on Chester Avenue in Spruce Hill, a residential part of West Philadelphia near the University of Pennsylvania. It's a mainstream, gay-friendly B&B, not a gay venue. Guests get a small number of individually furnished rooms and breakfast, and Google reviews average 4.8 from about 170 ratings. The Gayborhood around 12th and 13th Streets in Center City is about 15 minutes away by trolley or car. This suits visitors to the universities or anyone who prefers a quiet house to a downtown tower.

This was a great place to stay for my daughter while checking out the University of Pennsylvania. Everyone was so nice here and the area is very unique. The home has so much history and leaves you contemplating what life was like here 100 years ago. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely bed and breakfast in a quiet part of West Philadelphia. Stayed here for an overnight layover and great option. Cesar was extremely friendly and wonderful host. We had to leave before standard breakfast time and he was kind enough to leave is banana bread and a water. Would be a great place to base yourself if you want to experience Philadelphia.

Beautiful B&B. The owners are amazing people. Breakfast was excellent! They went above and beyond to make our whole family of 12 very comfortable. Close to many attractions. Beautifully decorated. Historic and my children enjoyed it very much
