This was my first experience in my hostel, although I have stayed in many since, and it certainly didn't put me off them! We had booked to stay two nights, but sadly one of our flights was delayed, meaning we would not arrive until 9am the morning after we were due to arrive. I called them from the airport, and... More

Chegamos em uma noite e saímos na outra, portanto nossa avaliação não é tão profunda. Mas recomendamos. Todos na recepção foram sempre muito solícitos, ajudaram com dicas, informações, tudo. Sala comum com tv, jogos, computadores, bem legal. Quartos com acesso mediante senha, pegamos um quarto coletivo e pelo menos na noite que passamos não tivemos problemas em dormir! Wi-fi funcionando... More

The staff at the Apple hostel are amazingly helpful and friendly. They gave us a ton of suggestions of where to go and made the reservations and changes easy. The place is centrally located, really clean, and they think of everything - plugs above every bed, games, coffee...This is the second time that I have stayed there and both experiences... More

I spent a few days in Philadelphia, last week. I arrived there with a Greyhound bus, from NY. It was easy to reach the hostel from the bus station, walking for like 10-15 minutes. The hostel entrance is in a little street, not much on sight, but you can't miss it, since there is not much in that street. The... More

What is an apple? It is a crisp, refreshing, and good for you. So is this hostel. The color scheme rocks. Upon entering you find a common area to your left with a t.v. They have movie nights: I saw Life of Pi and enjoyed free wine and cheese. Rooms are good. Lockers are outside your room and bring your... More

Stayed two nights at this hostel and totally loved it. The people are friendly and take a very good effort in connecting their guests. The pub crawl was nice and the movie night got plenty of people talking and sharing. The accomodations is more than adequate, clean and quite when and where it had to be. Staff was very friendly...

My boyfriend and I were in the couples dorm. Although there were 16 beds, it wasn't full and so not too noisy. Really appreciated the night lights and sockets by each bed. Everywhere was clean. Staff were helpful. Kitchen was good with free tea and coffee and free cereal for breakfast at weekend. Good location near to liberty bell. A... More

The location and rooms were excellent. The place had a great ambience. Also, the people at the frontdesk were really kind and helpful. The only thing to be aware of is that they serve drinks instead of breakfast during weekdays.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay! Just to clarify, we have free cereal and oatmeal on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings and every day of the week our guests receive a discount at a nearby 1960's American diner that has a very inexpensive menu. One of our main goals is to get our guests to socialize with one another... More
