Apple Hostels of Philadelphia

Pros: The way the hostel was set up made it really easy and natural to speak to new people. During my 2 days staying there I made friends with 5/6 people, one of which I still keep in contact with. They had basically everything you need. One thing that I saw mixed opinions about was not having curtains on the bunk beds, however, I think it's a good thing. With no curtains it meant that you actually can speak to the people in your dorm without it being awkward, also makes it a lot more inviting.

Cons: On days where there are not enough people they will not do the ghost tour. I completely understand why this is the case as I think only 2 people wanted to do it.

Great - would def recommend

Pros: location was great, property was very clean and staff was really helpful! Bathrooms were clean, with blow dryers and soap. Beds were clean and new sheets, pillow case, nad towels were provided as well. Great value for money!

Very friendly to solo travellers, felt very safe during my stay.

Pros: Spotless facilities, including the shared kitchen showers and bathrooms. Greta location near amazing local cafes

Pros: I liked the spacious kitchen most. The bed was really confortable. The shower was great too. Wifi worked well. It was good to have a night light.

Cons: I don't like the fact that some roommates make a lot of noise early in the morning. The rest, I can't complain

Pros: Really great atmosphere, plenty of opportunities to get to know people at events and in the comfortable lounge areas, but equally plenty of space to avoid such interactions if you'd rather keep yourself to yourself - including a library. All staff were consistently very approachable, friendly and helpful. Ample kitchen facilities helped me save a lot on food costs!

Cons: Firstly I'd clarify that none of the following is, in my view, uncommon in hostels, so personally none of this would stop me visiting this place again! The bathrooms felt very open and exposed, which I'm not too shy about myself but others may find disconcerting (and that also means that the smell gets everywhere if someone has a particularly exciting bowel movement). I also found the plastic covering on the mattress made me sweat a lot in the night, as I'm not sure it was breathable, though this may have been to do with people closing the windows (which they shouldn't, it messes with the delicate air conditioning system). So if you are known to be a bit sensitive to such things, do come prepared, or maybe try a hotel instead.

As a woman traveling alone, the place made me feel welcome and safe

Pros: Staff was friendly, amenities were clean, bed was comfy

Cons: Not a big deal, but parking is limited and rather expensive

Pros: Probably the best place for solo travellers in the US.

Totally recommended!

Pros: Everything was perfect, everybody was so nice and helpful.

Cons: Nothing, all was good.

Awesome

Pros: the location is great, the service and public facilities is amazing, the public bathroom is the best in my hostel experiences, super clean

Cons: Need curtain for bed

It was excellent and I really enjoyed!!! If i even come back to Philli, J will again stay here.

Pros: I liked it location and the stuffs were very friendly. We cooked food and shared food. I loved ghe long night chats and card games, pretty fun to know people around the globe. 😁

Cons: If they could have elevator then carrying the luggage could be easier as, if you have very huge luggages it's very difficult to carry it up to the stairs.
