Excellent experience at this hostel. Staff were helpful and provided all the important information right at check-in. Dorm room, bathrooms, and kitchen were all clean and well-maintained. I was especially impressed that the kitchen provided plates and cutlery and cooking equipment and they were all nice! I didn't get to participate in any of the hostel activities, but I appreciated that they were available for guests to mingle and meet with other travelers. Would stay here again on another trip to Philadelphia!
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.
Very nice property. Great front desk staff. Makes you feel welcomed. Common area downstairs is beautiful and cozy. Lots of seating and huge kitchen. My room was located on the 4th floor. Dorms were clean and spacious and the linens and towel was very fresh smelling. Each bed is assigned a locker so bring your own lock.The bed was amazingly comfortable to be a bunk bed. Honestly more comfortable than some higher end hotels I've stayed at in the past. I slept like a rockstar. The men's room is separate from the men's shower room which is not a problem at all. And they do provide shower gel but bring your own wash cloth.You can tell this is a well cared for property. Are there a few things that needs tweaking? Sure. For instance, the men's room can use a little bit more freshness. Maybe the use of urinal deodorants and those devices that release scents every couple of minutes. Many men using a bathroom. Use your imagination. However there were no issues of foul odors in the shower room. Be aware you're responsible for making your own bed and returning your linens to the front desk upon checkout. Having a top bunk, making the bed was challenging but achievable. If you have mobility issues please keep this in mind as well as they do not have an elevator so be prepared to carry your luggage. They do have luggage storage so maybe take a small bag with your essentials with you. Now was any of this a deal breaker for me? Absolutely not. I loved it here and would definitely stay again.
