Very clean and safe! Friendly staff and great location. Would recommend to other solo travelers
Andrew
Very clean and set up was cool! Staff were very helpful.
Jesus
Walking distance to old city, I arrived very late but staff still checked me in with no problems!
Stephanie
You half to make your own bed then strip your own bed and take it down to the front desk then they decided we are not permitted to have personal blankets or pillows so they can come into the room and take them to the front desk you pay for laundry but you half to use there detergent not your own they decide when the over head lights half to be on and off personally I would rather them keep them off there bright and anoying expecialy when you want to sleep this place is highly micro manage we pay to be here yet it seams to be operated like a homeless shelter p.s. most of them still allow personal blankets and personal items never had a hostel ever tell me to make and strip my own bed and control the lights like they do

I love this hostel and stay there often when I make a quick visit to Philly. The energy in the common area is always very positive, with people hanging out talking, playing games together, and playing the piano. I also find the kitchen clean and well stocked with supplies for cooking.
Jesse
Front desk was great, fellow guests had that hostel spirit that lets you make friends quickly.
Linh
My fourth time staying here already. Perfect experience. Definitely come back
Karen
A quick weekend trip so didn't take advantage of the amenities offered. But kitchen was always clean and had all the items needed. Room was clean and I was warm at night. Location was amazing!
Fabian
Friendly staff and amazing location.
Trisha
Clean and other guests are respectful of public space, sleeping accommodations and bathroom/shower areas.
Edward
The kitchen was good. The hostel needs a ice maker.
Claudia
All useful amenities . I'd stay here again
Sarvesh Avinash
It was perfect as it was described on the website.
Carl
Yes all as advertised
Richard
The bedding I was given was gray instead of white, worn and frayed at the edges, the room smelled and was extremely musty I'm certain from other travelers. But I could no stay there, I was willing to lose the cost of the room and stay at a nearby hotel for 10xs the amount.
Tyree
Very nice place. I stay here every time I come to Philly. My only complaint was one of the room mates, who was hounding me in the middle of the night because I started coughing and sneezing. Explained to him that I could not help sneezing, and that if he didn't want people to sneeze and cough in the room with him, then he should had gotten his own personal room.
Roger clement
All excellent
Rishabh
Overall, it's a great hostel. BUT-
1. they don't have elevators. That's super inconvenient
2. the air conditioning wasn't working. It was 82 degrees in my dorm, with no air conditioning. Impossible to manage.

Stephen
Amazing clean, great staff and the best pool table
Ricky
The stay was acceptable for the price, and some staff were very professional—Mark on the phone and a tall female front-desk staff member who wears glasses handled everything politely and efficiently.
During my first visit, my phone was completely dead, and I needed to charge it to complete my reservation. While I was actively doing that, one male staff member falsely accused me of being there “almost an hour” and claimed I had no reservation. Neither was true. He repeatedly resisted my simple request to finish for just a few minutes, creating unnecessary stress, even though I was almost done and only needed a moment to finalize things. His attitude and behavior were completely unprofessional and unnecessarily confrontational.

My first time at a hostel and it wont be my last. Staff was friendly and explained the rules and where everything was. Hostels are \"self serve\" and they had great accommodations and amenities. I booked an 18 bed dorm by accident but rolled with it. Everyone respected everyone's space. Room and bathrooms were very clean.
Anthony
Yes the staff was very courteous
Juanique
The front desk staff was absolutely wonderful and helpful. Overall, the facility was nice. Only negative was that the bed was very worn, old, and uncomfortable. The fitted bed sheets was also old worn, and the elastic was so old that it was not able to stay on the bed
Nafiseh
It was good
Brian
The rooms and staff were fantastic! It’s an excellent place to stay, perfectly located, and the amenities were top-notch. I’m really hoping to return sometime!
Fernando
Its good. But not excellent.
Kyle
Was able to get a private room with no issues. Place is nice & comfortable.
Jazmyn
Was excellent
Carl
Friendly and clean
Souvik
The receptionists were very helpful and friendly during check-in and check out. They helped me find a parking spot as well during check-in. They maison good hygiene in rooms and bathrooms. The lobby area is vibrant and has good seating, kitchen and pool table to spend time. My only concern was that the linens provided, especially the towel, was roughed up and looked old. They were clean tough. Also note that there are no elevators. So accessibility may be a concern for people with disabilities.
Jazmyn
Great stay
Darren
Overall good stay, nice for a hostel and the fact that it’s in the middle of the city is excellent. Bed had weird stains on the pad and undersheets that was brown and I essentially had to lift the mattress and everything on my own because the base pad was disheveled and off. Cleanliness could’ve been upped a decent amount, honestly. There was a bunch of dust on my bed ledge/shelf which is WILD given the amount of turnover here…..
Tenaha
The many sitting areas, soft mattresses and large kitchen area
Jazmyn
This hostel has everything anyone could ask for while traveling away from home. & close enough to stores and public transportation to go find what you need if you require more. Filtered water is on the premise, area to relax and possibly work, and also a tv on the dorm side is nice for football & basketball games. Highly recommend!
Jazmyn
Nice staff, great room options, I also like the tour guides they offer and tour booklets for the area.
Jazmyn
Affordable and safe.
Jazmyn
Kitchen and laundry on site also nice common areas appreciate being able to store my bags there after my stay.
Jazmyn
Great stay
Jazmyn
Nice staff and being able to cook my own food
Richard
Overall, I have been staying at Apple Hostel for school during the weekends. Staff are friendly. My one problem is that the hostel needs to change their mattress. When staying there several weekends the mattresses were not times hard to sleep on. I found myself turning back and forth to find a good spot and I wake up at times with back pain. This is my one concern, but I will stay there because of the cost; especially being in nursing school.
Daniel
It was fine
Thais
This was my first time staying at a hostel. The staff was super friendly and made me feel right in! Check in and check out was super quick and easy.
Rohith
Good space. Surprised we can’t play music in common space in the morning until 10am. Smell in the bedroom - unclear if from other guests or from vent/building.
Allan
Ok stay; but kind of noisy at night. Ok for a short stay.
Jazmyn
Hospitality affordability and kind thank you to the team
Jazmyn
Clean rooms and bathrooms would recommend!
Seguy
Very affordable, but not cleaning place, especially the bed sheets.
Chloe
Convenient location
Brandon
First time in Philly and first time staying at a hostel. Met a lot of beautiful souls and long term friendships were definitely blossomed. Aner was the most chill and laid back individual, dude is very intelligent and gold laced, that goes for all the staff, everyone helped to point me in the right direction and I can’t wait to slide back up to Philly, much love to all the guests and staff at Apple Hostels! Much Love.
Jeremy
Great location, great pricing
Derrick
Book with this hostel for an awesome trip
Great for solo travelers and amazing friendly staff
Tyree
Amazing!
I LOVE this place. I mainly stay here when I come to Philly, which is often. Great and large gourmet kitchen. Large eating and social areas. Clean and large rooms. Right in downtown Philly and close to everything!
Erin
I enjoyed my stay. The bag check is helpful and it’s in a really walkable part of town. The beds could be upgraded to limit noise and movement of the bunks, but it’s great for the price. Close to transit and close to the waterfront.
Paola
Great value
Sagrario
Friendly and helpful staff. Centrally located in old town, near historic sites.
Kim
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.
John
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).
Luísa
Great staff, I had a wonderful time!
Timothy
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.
Belise
Nice overall experience
Arieb
Great location. Fantastic staff
Rahayu B
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!
KAIYUN
I love that they have such community building focused activities and amenities.
Christopher
It was a pleasure staying here. It was my 4th time within a span of a year
Wendell
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.
Jonathan
Sarah was especially helpful; all the staff are wonderful.

Zane
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.
Levi
11/10 will most definitely stay there again in my travels! Great staff, great location, safe and very kind to your wallet.
Alex
Everyone at the front desk and all staff were super cool. Easy check-in, great policy for leaving bags before or after check-in, and overall cool vibe.
Nnaemeka
Quite a good place to rest but located in dirty city
Eric
Apple hostels is a great place to stay. Their lounge is well equipped and they have a friendly atmosphere.
Linh
My 3rd stay here already. Everything is great. Will definitely be back. Thanks
Robin
Great service.
The service was terrific. They have a full kitchen. Although technically there is street parking, it's extremely difficult to find one nearby, and it's expensive. However, street parking is free after 10 pm if you only need it for overnight.
Victoria
Love this place!
The Apple Hostel is run by young people from around the world who understand hostel culture fluently. They are friendly, hospitable, relaxed, and service-oriented. There is a high quality shared kitchen, they offer local dining recommendations, and they do special mini-events every night (free soda, free beer, etc). The stairs up to the rooms still suck (this is *not* an accessible hotel!) but if you’re young and able to schlep your suitcases, don’t let those stairs chase you away; it’s a fantastic place.
KEIJIRO
It is so clean and comfortable.
Matthew
December stay
Good place to stay and price is reasonable. Great way to meet people and see the city.
david
It was satisfactory
Julia
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The neighborhood is perfect to stay in for visiting Philadelphia, the Market-Frankford line is literally around the corner. I am from Philadelphia and moved out of state and I will always come stay here when I visit Philadelphia.
Aritri
Excellent
Jessica
Decent place to crash
It was ok. The front desk was nice, informative, helpful,and friendly.it felt safe with the card to get in and into the rooms.
The location was excellent, walkable and close to city attractions like The Liberty Bell and The Convention Center.
I had only ever been to private rooms in hostels in Mexico. Didn't know exactly what to expect in my group room.
The six bunk room, was actually two rooms and a bit chilly but the bed and linens were clean and the comforter was amazingly warm!
I disliked the rudeness of the person on the top bunk who kept putting her suitcase in front of my suitcase. It pissed me off when she tipped it over in front of my locker instead of using her locker.
I'm not sure why inconsiderate is the new acceptable??!??I'm a rule follower. She also left a bag of chocolate on the floor when we weren't supposed to have food. One can argue chocolate isn't food per se, BUT it's winter in a city, that says, hello let's invite the mice, but that isn't the fault of Apple Hostels. She was gone the next night or I would have said something.
The bathrooms were a little gross, but that's people that didn't manage to use a trash can kind of thing. The fridge was a bit smelly, but the fish being cooked was too.
It was nice to have a comunal room to hang out in. People were from all over there. It was a hostel.

Inexpensive and reasonable; will return!
Very friendly young staff, reasonably clean (old buildings are always a bit musty, and the water from the taps smelled weird), and generally in used but cared-for condition. In the women’s dorm, mattress quality is not great and blankets are reused after washing, so be careful if you have allergies or spinal problems. Be aware that the facilities are not ADA-compliant; there’s no way to get in and out of the building with a wheelchair. Checkout is in the morning, but you can leave your bags in their luggage closet until 8 PM. (Keep your claim check!)

The hostel is good to stay for a day. I didn't notice when I visit too early, I have to sleep outside of Hostel until 7 AM or later because I having less energy. And also I have to buy cheap tickets for the Amtrak in case I don't miss the train. Other yhan that, the Hostel is a great stay.
