Thena Hotel- Lux Studio

Overall an easy & straightforward stay. Convenient location with all of the necessities covered.

I came to Philadelphia for a conference and I found the Thena to be convenient and easy. I’ll be back

The location of the property and its condition are excellent. I felt safe coming/going from the property. Check in is easy & clear. The room was well sized and the extras - the mini kitchen - are well thought out. The bed/bedding is excellent, as well. It was all very clean and well maintained. Parking is described as 'on-site' which is misleading. There's paid parking across the street and in several places nearby. The lot across the street was fully booked and I got a place .2 miles away which wasn't awful. On site to me means literally on site, like a parking garage under/next to the building. This is the second time this has happened to me in Philly. The first time it was on another platform and 'on site' turned out to mean street parking so better than that. The shower tap controls both the rain showerhead and a secondary wand shower but it took some experimentation to figure out how to balance them, then set the temperature and the water pressure. Never did get the temp figured out, really, just fortunate the water wasn't too hot. The water pressure might not be strong enough for both options. The other surprise was the lack of any kind of bedside lamp. The only lighting option is the overhead spots. As overhead lighting goes, it's pretty soft and there's ambient light from outside if the curtains are left open but I didn't care for either option. Ended up borrowing a small salt lamp from the person I was visiting in Philly.

This property was in a great location and near all the tourist sites. It was clean and well kept. The owner was accommodating and was quick to respond to my questions. I would without a doubt stay here next time I'm in the Philadelphia area. Thank you for helping to make our trip enjoyable!

This studio apartment was perfect for my short stay in Philly. It was clean on arrival and had everything I needed. Convenient parking lot just across the street. Quiet. Seamless check in and check out. Thanks for a great stay!

I had a great stay here, the location is excellent. Parking is available very close, for a fee - but that is to be expected in Center City. Communication with the host is immediate and helpful. My only suggestion might be checking the door lock as I did have a few issues with it not locking properly. A dedicated work desk might be nice too. But it's at the heart of everything, close to restaurants, theater and entertainment.
