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.

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.

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.
