I recommend it in every aspect.

Everything was fine and the staff was wonderful, with the exception of the worker Quinn who shouts when communicating and letting me know that I had made a mistake, although I admit my mistake in the schedule, it was not the way to address me like that, I saw that other clients did not They complied with the lodging rules and he didn't say anything to them, when I was going to pay the lodging he started yelling at me, I agree that attention should be drawn but NOT SCREAMING! He also didn't apologize when I explained, totally rude. Afterwards, the Hostel is very good about recommending it, I only make that exception and I also contacted the owners to let them know what happened.

Located in the old city, and is just a couple minutes from a subway station to get to places. Good kitchen where you can cook your food. I came with multiple consecutive bookings (one of the nights had been initially sold out but I caught it later when someone canceled) - and the staff were so nice as to combine them all for my stay, so that I didn't have to check out and in again, gathering all my stuff. Can store luggage after check-out.

The dining area is also the only common area in the building with the reception desk, so it gets a bit too loud there. There's a quieter lounge/common area in a different building but I never went to check it out.

All facility were designed well for shared-facility. The provide dimming light in the room so people won't disturb other room mate. They also provide Locker for security of your stuffs (don't forgot to bring your own grid lock). The bathroom were clean. The shared facility downstairs is perfect. People were enjoyed and it's really comfortable to hangout there so we get a chance to mingle with other guests. The staffs also available for 24hr, so there will be no problem if you're arrived in he middle of the night.

The vending & coffee machine only serves with cash. It would be perfect if we can also pay by cards. But don't worry, just brings some cash, the staff are welcome to provide yo some changes.

The last time I was here was 2 years ago for July 4th. I stayed in the older building. This time in the newer building in the "Rocky Wing". The theme from rocky is stuck in my head now, lol but that's ok cause nothing says Philly like Liberty Bell, cheese steaks, Ben Franklin and Rocky. I thought 2 days would be enough since I only live in New York City but nope should have stayed longer. Instead of going to DC for turkey Day I might stay in Philly. Already made another booking for it.

I have trouble going up and down stairs due to my arthritis but I took my time. Luckily I was just on the second floor.

Staff were very nice, and the free drinks on both evenings that I were there (longdrinks the first and beer the second night) definitely helped to create a nice atmosphere! Located very centrally, most interesting places in Philadelphia are within walking distance, and for the rest, the Market-Frankford Line is very close. The hostel was clean, had a well-equipped kitchen and it was always quiet in the dorm.

While all the other beds were set up against the wall, one of the bunk beds in my 10-bed dorm was standing basically in the middle of the room and I had to take this one. I did not really like this set-up, even though otherwise, amenities in the dorm were good. The only other point is that the showers could have been cleaned more often.

They had a lot of available amenities and the staff were all nice. They let me dry my clothes for free after I got soaked in the rain :) Nice lobbies. Pretty good location. They provide a towel and lockers (but no locks).

The bunk beds are terrible. Flimsy unstable metal. Being on the top bunk, every time the person below me moved at all it would sway/vibrate for a minute. Not a lot of space to put things like your phone and a book while you sleep—anything on the bed will fall through the bars. I don’t know if they’re all like this but I was given the hardest pillow I’ve ever seen. Where does one even buy a pillow that hard. It was really uncomfortable and I slept pretty poorly every night.

By some distance the nicest hostel I've ever stayed at. Everything has been considered, supplied and kept in perfect order. The location could not be better, a few meters from the main drag but just tucked away enough to insure a peaceful night's sleep. Above all the hostel is a happy, sociable and fun environment. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

You are asked to wash, dry and return any kitchen implements that you may use. Most guests do this. But of course there are still a few who leave there cruddy bits and bobs for the poor staff to deal with. But the hard working staff are on it, dirty things are not there long and the kitchen is kept spotless. Being on the top was a bit of a pain after a night 'on the town' but the Rocky soundtrack playing in the background made me chuckle and was inspirational. Problem was, I'm old enough to remember Rocky I.

First contact over the phone: lady was so friendly and helpful. She was even curious about the Argentina soccer game I was in town for. Staff at front desk equally awesome. Facilities are SO CLEAN and tidy. Massive points for that. It’s like they are onto every single detail with such care and attention. I loved the showers and toilets are in separate rooms and both are spacious and have music playing.

Only reason I put 9/10 is I felt room did not have good ventilation. Maybe you can open the window but not sure.

I liked how clean it was and how close it was to all of the major sites. The staff was very friendly. I liked that there was a full kitchen which helped me save money on food.

I think they need to replace their pots and pans. I felt like I had to scrub really hard before I could use them. Replace or, maybe there’s a type of gunk remover they could look into purchasing. Commercial kitchens usually have some sort of cleaner.

Stayed in a dorm with more girls so I do understand that it can get messy but there was a clean bed waiting for me (very comfortable) and you get your own clean cover, sheets and towels. Staff really helpful and kind. They also have storage room to leave your luggage in case you arrive early and lockers in the dorm. No issue whatsoever

When it comes to a lot of people staying in the same large dorm and using the same restroom, it can be a bit of a mess but we always had clean towels, no issue with toilet paper or showers or anything.
