We had a fantastic stay exploring the local area. Mark was so helpful, sharing tips on nearby parks and spots to eat. My brother and I loved the cozy seating area, perfect for relaxing together after a busy day.

In my wife’s opinion, it would be great to have more activities for kids on-site.

great base for exploring parks and charming streets

My stay was enhanced by the wonderful proximity to the Manayunk Bridge Trail, just a short 500 meters away for lovely walks, and every morning I indulged in Mark's exquisite breakfasts that felt like a warm community gathering.

We had such a lovely stay! The spacious common areas were perfect for family time. The breakfasts felt gourmet, and our kids loved hanging out in the cozy nooks. We also enjoyed visiting the nearby zoo, where they teach about animal care and habitats.

In my wife’s opinion, adding more kid-friendly activities would enhance the experience.

We had a wonderful stay with a gorgeous breakfast spread that included homemade pastries and perfectly cooked poached eggs. I especially loved unwinding in the cozy garden area and enjoying the peaceful patio. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi signal was a bit spotty, but it didn't really put a damper on our relaxing getaway! 😊

Just a decent option for a fleeting pause in Bala Cynwyd with a good price-quality ratio. Mark provided a charger station for my phone that I forgot to bring, which was super helpful. Be sure to ask about the delicious breakfast menu when you arrive.

My recent business stay at Manayunk Chambers Guest House was exceptional. The hospitality presented by Mark, the owner, made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The guest house is beautifully decorated, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. My room was equipped with essential amenities for work, including reliable Wi-Fi and plenty of charging outlets. Breakfast each morning featured freshly baked pastries and a selection of hot dishes, which was a delightful way to start my day. Additionally, the location is a short walk to public transport, making it convenient for commuting.

Limited parking options and no elevator

The décor struck a chord, showcasing beautiful antiques and art that gave the place character. Breakfast was a standout, featuring homemade treats like a rich crepe filled with pear and apple, all presented with an artistic flair.

Parking can be a hassle, especially if you arrive during peak times—limited space might give you a run for your credits. The rooms, while charming, are on the small side, making it a bit tricky to maneuver larger bags. Also, the steep stairs could be taxing for anyone with mobility issues, though they're part of the historical charm. Expect a communal vibe. interactions with fellow guests can be hit or miss, and noise from the row house neighborhood occasionally breaks the peace.

local tips from a passionate host makes it feel special

mark’s exquisite baking skills impressed us.

Beautifully decorated guest house reflects its 19th-century charm, with vintage furnishings and art enhancing the atmosphere. Gourmet breakfasts feature homemade pastries that tantalize your taste buds, along with fresh fruit and satisfying hot dishes, making each morning a delightful culinary experience.

Parking options can be limited and tricky, especially during busy periods, with narrow streets presenting a challenge. The stairs leading to the guest rooms are steep, which may not work for everyone, especially those with mobility issues. Some rooms are smaller than expected. if you're traveling with a lot of luggage, it could feel a bit cramped. Although the guest parlor offers snacks, the selection can feel sparse if you're craving variety. Lastly, certain rooms may lack notable views, which could be a miss for those looking to soak in picturesque scenery.

My kids wished for more outdoor play space.

Great breakfast and friendly hosts. weak Wi-Fi in the rooms was disappointing.

My stay was truly special, thanks to the OUT OF THIS WORLD breakfasts! Each morning was filled with freshly baked scones and creative omelets. The only downside was limited parking near the house. Can't wait to visit again! 😊

Staying here was a delightful experience during our trip to see our daughter at university. Mark, the owner, made us feel exceptionally welcomed, and his hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. The breakfasts were a highlight, featuring freshly baked pastries each morning, which really set a lovely tone for our day. Additionally, the decor felt both cozy and charming, making the guest house a perfect getaway from the busy city life.

Mark was so welcoming, picking me up from the train station and sharing his delightful stories over a sumptuous breakfast. I loved relaxing in the lovely garden area, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the cozy common room. The only minor hiccup was that the air conditioning could be a bit noisy, but it wasn’t a big deal—definitely plan for a second night next time! 😊
