We stayed in the Tina the 1st night and immediately fell in love with the decor- the windows overlooking 3rd street were a delight to my 2 kids- and the amount of space we had. We moved to the Betsy for the next 2 nights and it was har dto get my 9 and 7year olds out of the bunk bed room to go sightseeing. I was impressed by the decorative details in the room and the amennities- laundry and a dishwasher are super helpful when traveling with kids! And because we had so much space I was able to invite family over for a drink before our adventures in the city together. After a few drinks, I got locked out of our room and called the number on the website and recv'd a return call in less than 2 minutes and we were back in the room in 5 minutes so even tho there was no concierge, we were attended to in a timely manner. We will definitely find an excuse to go back and visit again! More read less

From the second we walked in we were blown away by the beautiful layout and furnishings, every little detail was thought out and fit perfectly in the space. In the kitchen there’s a coffee bar, full spice collection, and tons of other kitchen supplies. We were in the Tina suite and we stayed in the bed in the living room which was super comfortable. The room also has a full kitchen, dishwasher, and washer/dryer which really gives it an apartment feel, but with the convenience and excellent service that you would expect at a 5 star hotel. Communicating with the Lokal team felt like chatting with old friends, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and enjoy our stay. The location is also super convinient. We had a lovely dinner at Tuna Bar which was less than a 5 minute walk away. Pictures will do a better job showing off the Tina suite so I’ll attach a few that my boyfriend snapped while we there. We will definitely be staying at the Lokal Hotel whenever we have to come back to Philly! read less

The glowing reviews here were spot on, Lokal is an awesome boutique hotel, and superbly located for a visit to Philadelphia. The Tina room is a suite, with a windowless interior room with a queen bed. King bed is in the large expansive living/main room, with huge floor to ceiling windows. There's a full kitchen, dishwasher, and stocked with tea and various drip coffee brew equipment. The bathroom is huge as well, with a shower and tub.
All portions of the suite are expertly designed and staged, mid century modern decor integrated with (I think) the structure and layout of a prewar type townhouse / brownstone. There's an in room ipad for further concierge type info and food delivery options given that there is no hotel staff visibly onsite. Check in and entry are seamlessly done through keypads as well. There are no elevators, stairs only, and given the older building the floor can creak a bit, so both to note. The location, as mentioned is great for tourists and others who like the charm of the old city. It's a quick walk to the sites, and 3rd street is great for boutique window shopping. read less

We stayed in the Betsy. Upon arrival, we were beyond impressed with this place!! The design and details are impeccable. My husband and I remarked that we could live there haha!! Kitchen was well appointed. Our teenagers liked the bunk beds and not having to share. The bathroom was outstanding. The field guide was VERY helpful and well thought out. We used it for numerous things. One very small suggestion may be to have a mirror somewhere outside the bathroom if you have more than one person getting ready but by no means did this cause an issue or take away from our stay! We are easy guests and so the invisible service was perfect for us. We felt it saved time and allowed us to enjoy our stay and the city more.
We also loved 3rd street and the surrounding area-Old City is a delight and we wished we had more time to explore. We will definitely be back. read less

So imagine an AirBnB, only you’re not renting out someone’s apartment or home. Yet, you’ll be able to enjoy all of the same offerings, including a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and living space!

Great place but I really wish the door locked automatically when you leave.

I loved it here. I felt like I was living in an apartment. Great neighborhood, beautiful apartment space. There is NO hotel staff and no elevator but everything else is amazingly appointed.

We especially loved the fully equipped kitchen, claw foot tub and Apple TV after long days of sightseeing. The customer service was impeccable.... just a text away from getting my questions answered. The owner let us store our luggage in the suite before the official check in time which helped us get an early start to exploring Philly.
They’re parking recommendation was easy and affordable.... even gave us access to our car on the last day so we could load our luggage and then go about our day without moving the car.
If you’re looking for a fun, hip place to stay in a great neighborhood, look no further! read less

Gorgeously outfitted rooms and a great location in Old City. Perfect for the independent traveler. Chad and Courtney are the best!

The amenities are wonderful and interesting, such as the European style kitchen and bathroom. Our room, called Tina, was inviting and warm. The colors of the room made us feel at ease, as if you are in your own apartment - there is nothing “hotel” about the Lokal.
The only downside is the steep steps to get to your room. This did not bother us, but it would be prohibitive for people who cannot climb 20-30 steps. read less

Such an amazing experience! The design of the room was luxurious and extremely comforting. It felt more like home than any other luxury hotel we have ever stayed in. � Thank you.

It's positioned right in Old City, which is so charming and inviting - lined with locally-owned boutiques, cafés and restos that make your first day easy to enjoy. The rooms (we stayed in Ben) are thoughtfully-designed, full of natural light, and make you feel right at home. Every thing you may need is there for you - from delicious local tea and coffee, to luxurious shower amenities. The robes are plush. The sheets are deliciously soft. I guarantee you'll feel taken care of in every sense. I only wish I could live there! read less

Our first visit to Philly and Lokal was the perfect choice! Great location and such a well appointed space. We even cooked one night because the kitchen was so well stocked and fun.
Highly recommend Lokal!!

Hotel Lokal was the best find. Ideally located to explore the sights and enjoy the city. The room was something special: spacious, luxurious, well thought out and quirky. The best place we stayed in during our 4 week trip to the USA.

Seeing the hotel finished was remarkable. The owners' vision along with the design savvy of Jersey Ice Cream Co. created a charming hotel space. The rooms feel warm and cozy. Explore and find all the little hidden gems.
For anyone who wants to get a taste of Philly living, Lokal Hotel combines the freedom and comfort of living in Philadelphia with the adventure of visiting. I think it's worth experiencing. 5 stars, no doubt. read less

This hotel is my style. Clean, bright and extremely comfortable. My husband and I highly recommend for anyone who just needs a night out, wedding parties (salon right next door), or extended stay. We found our new stay in the city.

This is a fabulous new spot in Old City. Our family was very comfortable and loved the vibe. The design is gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Great concept and impeccably executed! Cant wait to come back!

beautiful rooms, great amenities, and within walking distance of so many great restaurants, bars, and music venues. my favorite restaurant was cheu noodle bar which is right around the corner from hotel , and my favorite venues are johnny brendas and the filmore!

Not too far from Berks or Girard stations if you want to visit center city or old city via the el, and walking distance to a bunch of great neighborhood bars and restaurants. The units are beautifully decorated with work by many local makers and very spacious. Unlike most hotels, there are real live plants in the rooms which make the place feel like a real home. Would recommend the two-story units for larger groups/families! Really beautiful outdoor space for guests to share as well. read less

The team behind the design of the place really knew what style they wanted to achieve and you can tell that they took their time while doing so. The rooms are spacious and give you a private feel, almost like an extension of your own home, if you had impeccable style and furnishings. It doesn’t hurt that the hotel is in Fishtown either. Walking distance to a ton of great restaurants, cafes, and night life. Looking forward to booking my stay ! read less

The moment we stepped into the room we couldn't stop exclaiming about how awesome the space was. The way everything's set up makes you feel immediately relaxed, and so at home. It feels more like an apartment than a hotel. And the attention to detail in the design - I've never seen anything like it. Completely true to their name, they sourced every element from local makers and artists. It truly felt like it all was chosen with such intention, all curated to match the aesthetic. And the way it's set up, there's no central lobby or visible staff, which makes you feel like you're just living there for a bit - like you're a local. The neighborhood is great and there are so many cool bars and restaurants around, or if you want to just hang out there's a cute courtyard in the back perfect for a relaxed evening. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Can't wait to be back! read less

Such a chic spot to stay in Fishtown! Super clean, fully furnished with a homey vibe that makes you want to stay longer than just a weekend. Perfect place to get ready with your bridal party!

A much needed/wanted space in this area.

Great Spot for a Staycation!!

Amazing across the board!

Can't say enough good things about the A-frame. We had an amazing end of summer hurrah! Loved every second

Sitting on this soft AF leather couch getting snowed in during late March at the moment... what a great little spot with everything you need. Next time we'll make it more than the two of us and have a few day get away with a bunch of friends.

This place is amazing and the perfect retreat! Definitely want to go back in the winter to see it covered in snow, but highly recommend to anyone that’s even thinking of staying here!

Beautiful place. A must visit

The perfect spot for an individual or small team work retreat. Beautifully designed, short drive from the city.. I stayed here for a few days to refocus and I was super productive. I’ll be back. Thanks Chad and Stay Lokal team.

At the Lokal Aframe - Maurice River aesthetics and ease are apparent throughout. They’ve thought of everything to let you unwind and just be: Rival brothers coffee & tea, stacks of board games, beautiful selection of books, projected movies, fire pits with all the tools to roast anything, the coziest linens, robes & blankets, we were surprised and delighted throughout our stay. We stayed over Winter Break and enjoyed the solitude of the local lakes & bay. We watched the snow slowly fall the last morning of our stay and seriously can’t wait to come back. If you plan on coming, remember to BYO high vibe food & libations because you probably won’t want to leave too often.

I had a great trip spending some quiet time relaxing, meditating and creating a 2018 goal list for me and my business. It was cozy, calm and super easy to get to. I can't wait to get back with my friends and family-- the smoker, hot tub and cute hang out space out back on the deck has been calling me! Also, looking forward to getting in a kayak next time and enjoy the river just steps from the back door. Thanks Lokal, ya did it again! read less

Now with their newest edition, the Lokal A-Frame Cabin, escaping to some peace and quiet or hands-on adventure is more accessible than ever! I had an absolute blast staying here overnight with some friends. Full range kitchen made making cocktails fun and easy and coffee in the morning a great way to wake up. The upstairs bedroom is clean, cozy and romantic- facing out to a balcony that overlooks the deck and lights strung between the trees below- which I LOVED. I truly felt at home here and did not want to get up of the beautiful leather couch. Definitely recommend staying here with a group of friends, or even with just a significant other- I will be back soon for sure! Simply put: Lokal= quality. read less

If you're looking for a nice relaxing getaway this is the spot! I really enjoyed all the amenities offered including Rival Bros Coffee, multiple outdoor fire pits, and a full commercial grade kitchen. The A-Frame layout and rustic/modern aesthetic was perfectly constructed. We can't wait to return in the near future!

Beautifully done! Amazing space to enjoy friends, nature. Staff had quick responses! ❤️❤️

As well as bring superbly located and comfortable, the vibe here was just perfect. It rained most of our time in Philly, so I got to sit by those huge windows and watch it pelt the glass for hours. So relaxing!

The best! Great amenities. Would stay for a long time if I could!!!

This is really quite a cool experience for an AirBnB. The place was beautiful and clean and the location and the local tips were great. We liked the iPad control and the kitchen was well furnished.

The location is right in the heart of Old City, which has wonderful boutiques, art galleries and restaurants in the surrounding blocks. Going to and from the convention center was a quick 15-20 minute walk or a 7-10 minute Uber ride. We stayed in the Betsy Suite and were very impressed with the attention given to the design of the space. It was beautiful, high quality and comfortable, a haven after walking around the city for hours. The ease of everything was noticed and appreciated, from the keyless entry, to the centralized controls on the ipad which allowed for easily playing music from your phone, ordering delivery from almost any restaurant, and renting movies. I loved everything about our stay and the service and response time was excellent. Twice I had to reach out for assistance and heard back within minutes. I would stay here again, no question! read less
