Oluwayemisi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Wendell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Rahayu B, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

Clean, friendly environment, big lounging area, eco friendly. Very clean bathrooms! Super organized and one can do laundry for 5$ We went during the slow season so it worked out well for us. We also went on a ghost tour with a worker from the hostel, I loved it! 5/5 stay at the hostel :)

Stayed in four bedroom female for two days and two nights. Check in was easy. Staff is friendly and helpful. Good amenities, location is great. Around so much walking distance. They provide; towel, sheets and covers.

Fantastic staff. Clean and safe. Provides fresh towels and lockers. Will need to buy a padlock if you don’t have one, they’re $6 from the vending machine inside the building.
Lewis, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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).
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Place is not bad. It's a good place to stay, and the one thing that bothers me a little bit is a stairs. I can barely squeeze and pull in my luggage up one flight of stairs. The hostels is good place to stay in case there's special events or occasions.
Andrew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this space. Excellent stay on a budget. Would highly recommend if you are an explorer of the city. One thing they could work on is the Wi-Fi issue because I wasn’t able to connect to any of their Wi-Fi. Luckily I have Xfinity so that worked
