Manayunk Chambers Guest House

Excellent attention to detail from the little things in the bathroom, to the snacks, and drinks (and wine) in the main room. The room was very comfortable from the bed to the bath. We requested a dairy-free, gluten-free meal ahead of time and it was wonderful! The host, Mark, will contact you ahead of arrival and work with you to coordinate check-in. The parking in Manayunk is horrible but you can drop off the bags in the B&B driveway . You then need to find a place to park. Be prepared to parallel park on narrow, steep streets....that's Manayunk!

What a find! We were in town to see a performance at The Mann and could not have selected a better place to stay. Mark, our host, provided us with an excellent suggestion on where to dine. After the show we returned and relaxed with a glass of wine in the common room. The rooms were quiet, clean and had everything needed for our stay. The breakfast prepared by Mark was excellent. I loved the Tiffany lamps in the residence. We would definitely stay here again.

In Philly for a big family event. The host here has created a genuine experience that is right in step with the neighborhood, its history and that genteel feeling of past era hospitality. I recognized the attention to detail in every aspect: breakfast elbow service, cappucino, onsite homemade pastry, much more. Everyone should try this experience so they know the difference outside of the noisy, corporate rigamarole sold us everyday. Talent and pride are executed here. Kudos to the hard work this demands. You may think I am a personal friend of the owner; I am not, I am from a thousand miles away, but will stay here for that comfortable nest necassary when traveling. Worth the price and some.

The Manayunk Chambers Guest House was the equivalent to a 5-star hotel with a special breakfast dining experience. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the owner. He even gave me a brief history of the Guest House. Fascinating! My room was beautifully decorated with the top-of-the-line room amenities. For Breakfast, the Guest House owner served freshly baked pastries, which he baked himself, plus a delicious fruit entree to compliment. The Guest House is perfectly located a few blocks for Manayunk main street which is filled with shops, restaurants, pubs and live music. Thank you, Mark, for making my 4-night stay the perfect vacation get-a-way.

I had a very nice stay here while visiting my daughter who lives nearby. The host was gracious, the bed comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and the neighborhood quiet for sleeping at night. It is within walking distance of restaurants and the city bus. Will definitely stay here again. A very big improvement on my daughter’s couch!

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights, and Mark's warm hospitality made us feel right at home. He is an outstanding host. Not only did he ensure we had everything we needed, but also gave us great recommendations for food and shopping on Main Street, which is a short walk away. And he even chatted with us about Manayunk and some of the history of the house. We were in the Parisienne Suite, which was cozy and well-appointed, and we especially enjoyed the spa shower in our private bathroom. The house itself is completely charming -- you can feel the care that went into each thoughtful piece of decor. However, it was the "European style continental breakfast" that elevated the stay from "wonderful" to "favorite B&B ever" for me. I appreciate a baked good done well, and Mark's breakfast treats were exceptional. There were mini croissants and chocolate croissants, bread, mini muffins, and, my favorite, scones. They were without question the best scones I've ever had (and I've had more than a few). This was followed by a beautiful fruit plate with some delicious Greek yogurt. Thanks, Mark...we'll be back!

The Manayunk Chambers Guest House is highly recommended. Mark was a most gracious host. The room itself was comfortable and quiet, but the highlight was the excellent breakfast. He is a great baker and it was worth waking up early to grab some wonderful pastries!

An amazing Victorian-style property that has been in the family since 1900. The room and food were exceptional, but the what sets the place apart is the hospitality. Would definitely stay here again. Convenient to public transportation on a quiet street.

Great night in Philadelphia in this charming B & B - beds were comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Relaxed and read in the peaceful parlor while waiting for two family members attending a concert at the nearby Mann Center. Mark was so helpful and accommodating!
