ROOST East Market

If I could give Roost East Market more than five stars, I would. The entire experience was seamless. The apartment and building were so modern, comfortable and clean. The third floor is basically an extension of the apartment and includes common spaces, a kitchen, pool table, fitness center and outdoor pool. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We were able to store our bikes and they were kind enough to give us a late check out. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would love to stay here again next time we are in Philly.

We stayed in the East Roost Market for a long term stay (7 weeks) and got to know the place well. Simply put: it's fabulous. The room itself (2 bedroom, corner) was simply amazing with stunning views of City Hall, and containing all the amenities we could want. The pool was the highlight, however, as I had my 10 year old son with me. We were in that pool nearly every day splashing and playing. Finally, the staff were fantastic and I considered some of them friends by the time we left. Just a wonderful experience.

Renting an apartment at Roost East was our ‘dumb luck’ 🍀 . We wanted to spend July 4th week in Philly to enjoy the festivities- and we’re not familiar with Roost properties. ||We booked our stay, took the train to Philly and an Uber to the property. So convenient and easy. ||Upon arrival at Roost we were warmly greeted, the wonderful amenities were explained and given the pass keys to our ‘room’ and the building. ||We were immediately impressed and continued to be impressed with each contact with staff, exploration of the facility - it honestly exceeded our expectations at each and every turn! ||And the location was absolutely perfect to enjoy all that the city had to offer the week of July 4th. ||Highly recommend!!!!

The apartment was incredibly spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated — it felt more like a stylish home than a rental. I had a full-size kitchen, which was a huge plus, and everything was thoughtfully set up for comfort. The bedding was exceptionally cozy, and of course, the heated pool was the cherry on top. Amazing place overall — I’d definitely stay again!

ROOST East Market is an incredible place to stay in the heart of Philadelphia. It blends the comfort of apartment-style living with the luxury of a boutique hotel. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything you need—including a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and modern furniture. It truly feels like a home away from home. The amenities are top-tier. There's a stunning rooftop pool, a 24-hour fitness center, yoga studio, cozy lounge areas, and even a private screening room. Everything is well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out, perfect whether you're staying for a few nights or a few months. The location is also unbeatable—just steps away from the Reading Terminal Market, restaurants, shops, and major attractions like the Convention Center. It's ideal for both business and leisure travelers. What really makes ROOST special, though, is the staff. They're friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The hospitality here adds a warm and personal touch that makes the whole experience stand out. Overall, ROOST East Market is a perfect mix of comfort, style, and convenience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Philly!

our flat was spacious and comfortable - loved the view and location. our main bedroom was lovely, well furnished and very comfortable, but the small “bedroom” was tiny with just a cot and low quality linens. the extremely low water pressure was a problem… the pool was overcrowded all 3 days we stayed. no space at all. otherwise a nice place to stay overall. the staff was always friendly and accommodating.

I'm a regular traveler for work purposes and choose to stay at Roost East Market each time I'm in Philly since last year May. This was my 4th or 5th stay in under a year, I lost count and I would not go anywhere else. I always stay for 2 weeks at a time and the aparthotel is modern, well kitted, comfortable and far better than the comparative Windsor Suites or Residence Inn (I've stayed at both). ||The service from both front desk and office staff like Austin for booking issues is nothing short of brilliant. I have never been unhappy even in situations where they had every right to turn down my requests. ||The bedding is soft and provides a great night sleep. Clean modern bathrooms are a must and Roost doesn't disappoint. ||I always have apartments overlooking the pool and it's much nicer and quieter except in summer but even then it's not rowdy or unbearable. There is Apple TV and a B&O speaker in each unit. The kitchen is modern and well fitted with most things you'd need for short stays or even long stays. There may be one or 2 things missing but that's only a phone call away to the front desk or worst case a $10 purchase from TJ Maxx around the corner. There is nothing bad to say, it's simply great value for what it is.

Center City Philly is a tough -- very congested, at times filthy, and full of abandoned homeless/veterans/vagrants (in deep need of love and care). ||||Yet, this Ludlow block shines--and Roost is in the Center of it all. The heart of Roost is the employees--unfailingly kind, responsive, funny and open-hearted. I loved coming home to see this gang of angels who always had a bright smile and a welcome "hello!" ||||They consistently made my heart feel happy even when the world outside can be a bit much to digest. ||||I tip my hat to every single one of them-- front desk reception, housekeeping, event planning, back-office and maintenance. ||||Because I stayed for over a month, I had the ability to test and they never missed the mark. It's rare to see a hotel put so much effort into staffing, but it truly makes a huge difference. ||||Thank you for always taking such good care of me.

Jason was the absolute best! As is all of the staff were very friendly. Helped me with early/late check ins/outs. This was my second stay with The Roost, first time at this location. Couldn't of asked for a better experience. Love you guys! Stevie

This hotel is notably the best stay in the area ! Worth every dollar to book here : great service . Located close by to everything ! The service and amenities are excellent here at roost. You ll know as soon as you walk in

I was impressed by the beautiful building and amenities that were available to us, and staff are very attentive and friendly! However, I couldn't help but notice upon my arrival that some of the furniture in my apartment had *layers* of dust. I was so disappointed. The apartments are beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Even the random books they had were interesting. They also kept an all purpose cleaning spray for cleaning and that's what I used to clean. Additionally, there's a panel in the bedroom where the AC/heat comes from and unfortunately I decided to open it to see what the filter looked like and it was a dark gray from the center. My comforter insert had a little blood stain on it. It was a nightmare. I couldn't sleep the next night and couldn't wait to check out. I had a very busy stay and was only there for two nights, so I regretted my decision to stay at this place rather than a hotel. I hope that the building takes my review into consideration and ups their cleaning game as it was rather concerning to me especially during these times! That being said, beautiful furniture, design, architecture etc. and the coffee they provided was La Colombe, which helped make the experience a little more pleasant!

Great alternative to hotels I stayed at the ROOST East Market while in Philadelphia for a conference at the Convention Center. It is a short 3 minute walk. These are "apartments" rather than just hotel rooms. It is a suite that is basically a one-bedroom apartment. There is a separate living room, a full kitchen, dishwasher, and in-room washer and dryer. There is so much more room and storage than a hotel room. They have very nice extras. There is a common recreation area on the third floor. I went down there to do my computer work. There is a pool table, a theater, gym, pool, barbecue, etc. It has a community feel and people are very friendly. There is a market a 2 minute walk away called Mom's - think local Whole Foods. I bought groceries and cooked most of my meals for my stay. Three days worth of groceries cost less than my one night out at a restaurant on the expense account. There are plenty of restaurants and bars in the immediate neighborhood including the Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant, the Hard Rock Cafe, and more. There is a CVS Pharmacy around the corner from the market. The only negative thing I can say is that it is on a brand new street and there are no street signs so it can be hard for your taxi or Uber driver to find it, but once you get here it is smooth sailing. I've gotten spoiled and will always start looking for "apartments" for future business travels - and will probably most often be disappointed that I can't get them. I'm definitely staying here when back in town for the next conference.

We had a great stay at Roost East Market. We were surprise upgraded to a two-bedroom apartment. The apartments are nicely decorated and very comfortable. The location is generally convenient to most of the popular attractions. The pool is very nice (large lap pool) but does get a bit crowded (including with people who set out towels to reserve lounge chairs at 5am). Common areas and amenities were also very nice. Our dogs were happily welcomed and the front desk staff were very friendly. We would happily stay here again.

Visited a friend who was in town for the weekend. The room was gorgeous, the location was wonderful and the building was beautiful! And my friends were very happy with their stay!

I wish I could give five stars. The hotel room is more like an apartment with bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and office with full washer/dryer. The views are nice from the full ceiling to floor windows. It's in a great location to walk around the city. The third floor has lots of amenities great for those staying just couple nights or the longterm renters on the upper floors. There's an outdoor pool, demo kitchen, two lounge areas, pool table, dog area, and multiple grill/patio areas. The only reason I can't give five stars is the inability to get to sleep or stay asleep due to partying at the pool after closing hours. Our room was directly above the pool and a family was playing loud music for couple hours Fri night and I had to call the front desk multiple times about it. In their defense they may have at first misunderstood us as being pool music system and not the individual's. However, we were awaken at 4 am to loud music again and upon peering out the window literally saw couple naked in the pool doing their thing. I called front desk and shortly after the couple was gone. So unless they stop late night partying at pool I can't see us returning which is such a shame given how nice it is.

This place.was great, I stayed there Aug 2019 for a conference across the street at Loews. I am so glad I stayed here instead of Loews, this hotel is a lot more affordable and the rooms are actually apartments! Amazing amenities and great location, everything is in walking distance. I will definitely stay there again!!!

Absolutely the nicest staff I've met in a hotel. Beautiful rooms. Great amenities. The pool is my favorite of recent hotel stays.

What a fantastic and stylish new place to stay in Center City! Not only is it perfectly located with great restaurants all around (and two short blocks to the phenomenal Reading Terminal Market!), but the accommodations are spacious, beautifully decorated and quite comfortable. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped; the bathroom was very spacious; and the massive double-door closet with drawer space inside was really impressive. The amenities floor has a fabulous outdoor pool and deck for the summer months, along with a large gym and beautiful common spaces. The front desk folks were extremely helpful, as were the managers I spoke with.We will DEFINITELY stay here on our next trips to Philadelphia. What a find!
