It was satisfactory

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.

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!)

This has got to be one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had! And at a great price! Comfy bed, clean bathrooms, friendly staff, great location! Good internet connection too.

For the price you pay the accommodations are good.

I opted to stay here to save a little bit of money. It's a clean hostel. The shared bathroom was clean, nothing smelled, and there was nothing obnoxiously loud at night to keep you up. The linens were clean, beds were comfortable, staff was nice, and facilities were good. All the main stuff, including mass transit, was in walking distance. Everything you need. It's a good place.

Apple Hostel was amazing! Reminded me of my college dorm days. Beds were comfortable, the common areas were clean and colorful. Kitchen and fridge access quite helpful for those staying beyond a few days and are on a budget. I'm glad I stayed here - will definitely come back here if I visit Philly again.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, lots to see and eat within a few blocks of the building
