Very good experience

The staff was amazing!! The hostel is very conveniently located in the historic district. Even though the bed wasn't the most comfortable, it was still very good because I was exhausted. The bathrooms were very ample. Towels, shampoo, and body wash were provided. Good food was less than a block away. Safe area.

Not worth the cheap stay

AC just didn't work the first night. I got half of the cost of staying there back. I slept in my car. I had to call to get the refund. Parking sucks and is about 2 blocks away. It's not worth saving the $50, just get a real hotel room unless you don't have a car and love walking up stairs (no elevator).

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was responsive, polite, professional throughout my stay. I especially appreciated the secure entrances (needed in Philly city environment). They have a giant community refrigerator and you are allowed some pantry items, too. I'm 51, so the hostel thing got tough for me quickly and I didn't last long (my dorm living ended long ago), but this is a good place if you can do communal sleeping/living space. It's also about a quarter the price of hotels in the neighborhood. I didn't like that the windows didn't have drapes and I had to fight the city lights keeping me up all night, along with sharing room space with others through the night and all that means. But bathrooms, showers, communal spaces very clean and very comfortable at Apple Hostel in Philadelphia, so that itself is to be commended. The city around can be rough, I found this hostel to be a refuge for me.

really great location in philly, just a couple of blocks down from the liberty bell visitor's centre, super accessible via metro/bus etc. i would say the sleeping quarters felt clean and neat but the shared showers were a little grubby. would say worth the cost on location alone!

I have stayed here before and thus expected the same service and comfortable atmosphere. It is close to the metro train ( 1-2 blocks ) , plenty of restaurants , close to the historical sites and across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution.

Love this place.

Was on a solo trip to the northeast and was glad to stay here after NYC. The hostel staff were all basically my age and super friendly. Excited to say I made good friends with them. Pablo, Sara, Via, they were all super helpful and fun. The kitchen was great too, was glad to not have to spend money going out.
