The only reason why I'm not giving full 10/10 are the showers. Several had a very high pressure and it was uncomfortable to use them, plus there was no space to put your things inside the shower stall apart from hooks, so toiletries bag or your keycard could only be put on the ground. Also wifi kept falling, but that might have been just my phone.

Great hostel in the very center of Philly - but in a quiet back street, so it wasn't noisy. Rooms were nice, comfy beds, each had sockets, a lamp and a shelf, a locker and some hooks. Kitchen was nice too, enough dishes and always clean. It was very social place, people were very friendly, especially on beer nights it was really easy to meet new people. Bonus points for the pool table, free to play. Staff was nice and helpful.

Very friendly staff and early check-in was no issue. Also, you could store your bags afterward and the amenities were clean.

I should have stayed more than 1 night, the best hostel of my whole trip.

Big, clean, nice free amenities all around the shared areas. I arrived late in the night when they were finishing a free cocktail night, so I was welcomed with a refreshing vodka lemon! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Huge and complete clean kitchen. The stairs and floors are named by Rocky movies and you can hear the soundtrack around. Fantastic place! Amazing vibes!

Turn off the tv in the other building. Nobody is watching it and it is all the time on. It is a waste of energy.

The common space in front of the reception is very nice (including the kitchen)

Nothing of note.

Excellent facilities and location. Request accomplished. Excellent staff in particular Julia (knowledgeable, kind, bilingual and extremely helpful) and Michael (brilliant new-starter with excellent customer service). Big lockers and whole hostel decorations according to the city's cultural history. Big kitchen and big pool table. Local fast food amenities around and close to landmarks. Excellent and immaculate clean toilets.

The location, the facilities

The only thing I can think of is that they don’t have a cafeteria/restaurant. But they have a fully equipped kitchen available for guests!

Excellent location near Liberty Bell/Independence National Park. Excellent staff. Honest guests: I forgot & left out in a public area my toothbrush & toothpaste. That night after returning I realized that and asked if they had a lost & found. They did & the items were there, together in a plastic bag.

Nothing.

I really liked the vibe in betweem staff and guests. Laid back , relaxed , but still with a lot of respect for eachother and the rules! And offcourse the location is great , in the old city and not too far from the center city as well as close to the mfl subway line (east <> west)

Love this hostel . I was 3 times . I hope soon again ))

It was an old building, so be prepared to climb stairs without elevator, especially with heavy baggage up to the top floor. The restroom door shut quickly. I was using both of my hands to carry my stuffs like toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, towel etc., with no hand to hold back the door. The door handle hit my waist hard. Also I asked for a lower bunk bed and the staff did try to reserve one for me. However the other guest in the room seemed to ignore it and occupied the lower bunk bed before I arrived.

I liked many aspects of this hostel, including location, staff, kitchen, bed, shower, cleanliness, key card room door access, large common area, baggage storage after check out etc. The locker in the room was big enough for a large suitcase. Everything was well maintained and organized.

Apple Hostels was very straightforward to find and it is located in the Old City which is walking distance from the main tourist attractions. The location was excellent, and I stayed in the 18 bed male dorm and I was amazed how spacious it was. The hostel is extremely clean, and there excellent facilities there to cook, chill, relax and have fun. The staff were first class and they were on hand 24/7, and they were all genuinely welcoming. A special mention goes to Nick who always went the extra mile and I'll miss our early morning chats at the start of the shift. I will definitely be staying here when I come back to Philadelphia, highly recommended.

I like everything

The location is amazing, very close to everything like the famous places to visit and a lot of good restaurants around. The staff were very attentive, polite and always ready to give me information and tips. One of the girls at front desk offered to help me up with my luggage and as my knee was hurting, I accepted. The hostel is very clean and very well structured and organized. I would love to come back again to Philly and stay there.

No curtains in beds, no privacy when sleeping. Remember to bring a lock, they sell locks for $6 in a vending machine that only accepts one dollar bills. They return $3 if you return the lock.

Good hostel with a great common area for socialization. Hostel provides towels is an extra positive.
