Our 3-nite stay was really special, with helpful directions and suggestions for our stay at Burbridge, including transportation help, with healthy breakfast choices, and a pleasant quiet room. The brick street is in northwest Philly, Germantown, surrounded by other turn of the century homes, "lovingly restored" as they say. We will go there again. It is helpful to reserve direct. Thank you Marnie, Dan Robertson

4.6 out of 5Stay at Burbridge B&B
April 04, 2013
Enjoyed my stay - Marney was very helpful in finding places to eat and visit, really enjoyed the cats
3.6 out of 5Good place to stay
March 19, 2013
We stayed two nights here. The best thing about this B&B is its location, only a few minutes away from the light rail station that takes you into City Center. The host is very friendly and talkative. Breakfast was served at 8 am, which was a little early for our taste but we weren’t sure if we could have requested a late time. Breakfast consists of a variety of breads, cereal and fruit, which held us over well until lunch. The host will recommend places in the area to eat, along with fun things to do in City Center. The house is very old but has modern accommodations. The bathroom on the third floor was very clean, and the shower pressure was excellent. The bed in the 4 poster room was very creaky, but comfortable. If you don’t like cats, shut your door otherwise the very friendly cat will come in. I’m very picky in terms of cleanliness and while the room was dusty, I felt comfortable in the bedroom and bathroom. There were no litter boxes in our bathroom. We had no trouble finding the location (the number is as indicated). One thing I would like improved is clear checkout times- this could vary depending on whether a new guest is arriving, but it would be nice to know ahead of the visit how soon we need to leave. Overall, we would recommend this place.
4.2 out of 5Great place to stay!
February 22, 2013
The room was beautiful and the host was very nice! Very knowledgeable about landmarks to visit and places to eat around the area. I would definitely stay here again! Unfortunately I left early every morning and never got a chance to try the food
4.8 out of 5Why stay in a hotel?
February 11, 2013
The host, Marney, will make you feel welcome, and pays attention to the details that will make your stay special. For example, there are not just glasses for water in the rooms; you will find a carafe with a cup for each person, with enough water that you will not need to The wonderful old house is very well-appointed and tastefully decorated. The breakfast features a wide variety of fresh fruit and bakery breads. She keeps it low fat, which also makes it a little short on protein, so you may want to bring some cheese, or better yet, I am sure Marney will accommodate if you let her know in advance. If you like cats, there is nothing that makes you feel at home more than a cat that instantly recognizes a cat lover! Queen Bess fits this role better than any cat I have ever met. Always affectionate, but not demanding; a purrrfect hostess! Cleo is also very sweet, just a little shy. An easy 5-minute walk in a safe and friendly neighborhood past well-maintained, very old and architecturally wonderful houses to the light rail station adds more charm as well as practicality.
