My wife and I spent a Saturday and Sunday night at the Thomas Bond House, and we were immensely pleased with our decision to stay there. It was a neat experience to stay in a historic building that balanced its historic qualities with modern amenities (such as attached bathroom and air conditioning). We've been burned before by "historic" or "authentic" lodgings that were a little too literal in their interpretation. The Thomas Bond House is a perfect balance. I'm a light sleeper and had forgotten to pack earplugs for the trip, but we didn't even have to request any because they were already on the night stand in our room. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Their thoughtfulness exceeds any other B&B I've stayed at. Treats were left out each night for guests who might be returning late in the evening, and in my case, with a dairy allergy, they were thoughtful enough to provide a special plate with our name on it with some dairy free treats. Bottom line... highly recommend!

What a fantastic place! After talking to several locals, I have discovered that this is a hidden secret--nobody seems to know what or where it is. A historical monument in the old downtown, this is the 1797 home of Dr. Thomas Bond, who co-founded the nation's first hospital with Benjamin Franklin. Now it is privately owned and operated as a bed and breakfast by some of the nicest people ever. The stay was very pleasurable and all needs were met. The old-style home guarantees that you will climb the narrow staircase with all your luggage (I walked up to the 4th floor) so if you are weak in body you might reconsider. There is no AC but it was cool enough when I went and they have circulating air. The decor was quaint and the living room/kitchen is a great place to browse and read. Nice breakfast spread in the morning and fun to hobnob with other guests, many of whom were at my same conference. Great place if you want to be in the middle of history and enjoy a personable experience!

I stayed at Thomas Bond during Labor Day weekend 2014. This B&B was a great choice. I would gladly stay here again. First of all, the location is great because its close to several bars, it's close to SEPTA and close to the Philly Phlash city bus route. The inn keeper and her staff are great. My only complaint is I didn't have great phone reception in my room but that is no reason to downgrade my rating from five stars. This B&B gets an A+ from me.

Impeccable service. Wonderful Inn Keepers, very hospitable. The bedroom was beautifully decorated in period furniture - warm and cozy. Highly recommend this bed and breakfast!

Big fan of Thomas Bond House. I stayed there over 4 nights this fall. The value for the room was great. The host and hostess were wonderfully helpful, personable and engaging. At breakfast they made the rounds to each table, without fail. I understand this establishment has changed hands a few times in recent years. Excellent cleaning service. Beautiful street view from my room. I can understand how there could easily be excessive street noise when the neighborhood is loud, but I did not encounter any during my stay.

We ( 2 old ladies) were there on a Friday night. No noise. But the owner's reception was cold, no help carrying luggage upstairs . When I asked about a bus to the Rodin museum the response was "ask our staff". Room, common rooms all fine, spotless. TV very small but many inns opt out of the modern "conveniences" including phones in room to avoid disturbing the other guests. Truly we prefer that. What was obviously lacking was the friendliness that I've experienced in many other B&B's. We missed the wine and cheese but noticed that none of the other guests spoke or even greeted one another the next morning. As cold as the innkeeper was, the lady innkeeper was loud but not specifically engaging. The young lady who served breakfast was a redeeming friendly person. Gave us good info about buses ( no 38 from Market st. stops right in front of the Rodin - free if you have a medicare card!) You'd think an innkeeper would share all kinds of suggestions/info. That's been our experience at other B&B's.

I'm here at the Thomas Bond House as I write this. It is 2AM Saturday morning. There is no sleeping here as the drunks parade by just outside the window. Every hoot and holler, every whoop and shout, every drunken bellow can be heard as if I were on the streets with the revelers. And then there are the non-stop honking taxis, roaring, unmuffled cars gunning their motors and thumping bass blaring from car stereos... You get the picture; pretty much every noise you can hear in a bar infested party zone. There is no sleeping here, which means there is no rest, which means this is not much of a vacation AT ALL. Other than that, if you're a zombie and don't need any sleep, this place is in a great location and is very quaint.

Living outside of Philadelphia I find myself in the city quite a bit, whether it for visiting a museum, having dinner with friends or just visiting the local nightlife for a change from the suburbs. All the times I've been to Olde City I never noticed the Thomas Bond House before this trip. My father found the location when looking for a unique venue close to the historic attractions to stay in with out of state friends for the 4th of July weekend. Within walking distance from Independence Hall (and other historic sites) and close to so clubs/bars for evening night caps this quaint historic building was ideal. There were 10 people in our party for the weekend taking up 5 of the house's rooms. My husband, sister and I stayed on the 4th floor in a charming room for three (double bed and twin bed). As long as you don't mind walking several flights of stairs this room is great as you are high enough from the street not to hear the noise from the local establishments at night. The three of us felt right at home between the coziness of the room, the cleanliness of the bathroom and the sitting rooms on the first floor. Added bonuses for us were being greeted each morning by pleasant staff that made phenomenal breakfasts (I was expecting something simple like bacon and scrambled eggs but instead we got gourmet meals to start our day off right), wine and cheese nightly around 5:30pm, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies before bed. I've always wanted to stay in a bed and breakfast but usually find myself checking into hotels, motels or a friend's couch. From my experience at the Thomas Bond House I can happily say that I will definitely look into staying at more bed and breakfasts in the future.

I stayed here for three wonderful nights last week. Hands down, the best accommodation value I've ever had. My room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable (on the second floor overlooking Welcome Park). Breakfast each morning included delicious home-baked breads made by the proprietress, fresh fruit, cereal and yogurt, great coffee, juice, AND a hot meal (yummy French toast, ricotta pancakes, sausage). The couple who manages it and their staff are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Great wine and cheese in the evening, too, in a charmingly decorated front room. As for the location, it's prime. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go in Society Hill, Olde City, and Center City from here. Fantastic, and I plan to stay here again when I'm back in Philly in a few months.

Really though, I've been to many B&B's and this is has got to be one of the worst. Stayed here in September 2010. The rooms are horrible-- I get it, it's old and quaint and that's the point. But it could be done sooo much better! The place smells like it needs a good cleaning. And the woman who runs the place, she really should have gone into another field. Running a B&B requires social skills and a good temperament. Every time we tried to ask her something or even as we would come and go, she would act as though she was being bothered. And the breakfast--- WOW it was terrible! A cheap "continental" breakfast. Isn't the point of a B&B to feel a little homey with home cooking?

Have your friends and family avoid this place. They made TWO fraudulent charges to my credit card totaling hundreds of dollars, refused to remove them, refused to cooperate with bank, leading to me spending hours and hours trying to clean up this mess with my bank. This place is run by a semi-shady corporation in Washington DC. They're crooks, in my opinion. Don't make the mistake I made and Avoid the Thomas Bond House B&B

Stayed here for 2 nights (Saturday and Sunday) in April 2011. I see that previous posters expressed concerns about staying here and that helped me make the decision whether or not to book. Is there a lot of noise outside on a Saturday night...YES. Did it ruin the experience for us...NO! We booked knowing full well that there would be crowds outside the window at 2am. On the plus side, though, we could walk anywhere nearby without having to park the car or pay for a taxi. We (including our 13 yo daughter) walked to Reading terminal market, the Walnut St. Theater, Franklin Fountain, and Independence Hall in minutes. It was SUPER CONVENIENT and the house was what we were looking for--a historic building in the oldest parts of town. Don't expect great breakfasts (on a weekday) and plush robes in the room. But we did find it to be clean, historical, and close to the things we wanted to see. (FYI--there was NO NOISE outside on Sunday night!)
