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.
