Amazing stay!!! I wanna book all the time now
Alaya, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was great except I didn't know we were on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. So, we had to haul 5 different pieces of luggage up 3 flights of stairs to our room. Otherwise, a great stay. Very clean. Centrally located.

Great boutique hotel in West Philly

No frills and easy access to the room. Room was clean and had modern amenties. Location at 40th and Chestnut was perfect. Note there is no hotel staff on site but everything is done via text. I only wish they bad luggage storage after check out but otherwise an amazing stay!
Devanshu, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and pleasant. Problems: air conditioner condensation dripped all over the kitchen counter and onto the floor, making it unsanitary and unsafe. They need to put a drain in. Also, steep stairs are difficult for me and they were not shown in the site info before booking. Other than this, room was nice. Bathroom was great!

Mouse in my room.

I saw a mouse in my room on my second night. I emailed and message the supposed 24/7 hour service to check out the situation or get me a different room. In which they couldn't because they were fully booked which I completely understood but they kept telling me they would have someone come out the next morning but never sent anyone out. As a customer I was very uncomfortable staying in the room and ultimately nothing being done to address the situation other than telling me lies and suggesting that I buy mouse traps.

The place is nice and clean. However, the stairway is very narrow, making it hard to move my luggage up and down the stairs.

A literal party wall

Industrial chic recently renovated. A bar with music into the wee hours is adjacent to the bedroom. If you like eavesdropping on bar patrons and dancing to your favorite reggae beats, the bedroom is a prime spot.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

So the site itself was nice, but my stay was full of issues for what I was paying per night. Although customer service was prompt and responsive, they didn’t offer accommodations until I mentioned it. My first room had a really bad water leaks from the room above (I had to use a trash can to catch the water and towels). Once I reported this, maintenance came the next day and of course the leak never revealed itself so they were unable to repair. If I had not requested to move I would’ve stayed the entire stay in that room. The next room had a huge roach in it and putty all in the shower from previous repairs (it looked like a bunch of soap clogging the drain) and neither rooms had heat, and unfortunately I was there during this weird May cold front we experienced. Although my stay wasn’t the best I would probably still recommend Kasa for people looking for something quick and in a decent area, as long as they can walk up steep stairs!

8/10 Very good

The space is very nice, modern and clean. It is a walk up, so if you have luggage you need to be prepared to go up steep stairs as there is no elevator. They were very responsive to my questions and concerns. It is conveniently located to the University of Pennsylvania. It is in a generally safe area, but it is not an area you want to venture too far by yourself at night.

Never got the Cancellation

We never got to check in… apparently they sent an email that I never received. Please request a refund! Not sure who they sent the email to but it clearly doesn’t state where the original email was sent, I’ve checked every inbox and never received anything, even if I searched for the email that forwarded me the cancellation email
