10/10 Exceptional

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.

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

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!

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.

11/10 will most definitely stay there again in my travels! Great staff, great location, safe and very kind to your wallet.

Belise, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Apple hostels is a great place to stay. Their lounge is well equipped and they have a friendly atmosphere.

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.
