The Spotlight on Apple Hostels of Philadelphia

Fun, Affordable Vibes in Philly’s Historic District

Apple Hostels of Philadelphia is a lively and welcoming spot tucked into the heart of Old City. Just steps from iconic landmarks like the Liberty Bell and Independence National Historical Park, this hostel blends unbeatable location with wallet-friendly pricing. With its social atmosphere, shared spaces, and modern comforts, it’s a go-to stay for travelers looking to connect and explore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hostel delivers. You're a short rideshare or walk away from major Philly music venues and nightlife. Despite its central setting, the area stays relatively quiet at night—ideal for catching some sleep after a show. The 24-hour front desk is a huge plus for late arrivals, and the casual vibe makes it easy to meet fellow music fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a social and affordable base
  • Solo travelers checking artists off their concert bucket list
  • Couples wanting a fun weekend without breaking the bank
  • Fans who appreciate a quiet, comfy bed after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than hotels

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, the shared kitchen is perfect for quick bites or late-night snacks. The hostel’s prime location puts you within walking distance of countless cafes, pubs, and eateries—many serving late. You’ll also find coffee and breakfast options nearby for those slower mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

Old City is packed with cozy bars, trendy lounges, and local hangouts just a few blocks away. Whether you're pre-gaming before the show or winding down with a craft beer, the area’s nightlife has you covered. While the hostel doesn’t host live music, the communal spaces often buzz with conversation and impromptu playlist sessions.

What People Say

Guests rave about the friendly staff, clean facilities, and social atmosphere. Many mention how easy it is to meet people from around the world, and how convenient the location is for exploring Philly on foot. The vibe is consistently described as fun, safe, and great for solo travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are shared and bathrooms are communal, which might not suit travelers looking for more privacy. Light sleepers may want earplugs during busy weekends. But for the price and location, most guests feel it’s a worthwhile trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Philly for a concert and want an affordable, social, and centrally located place to crash, Apple Hostels of Philadelphia hits all the right notes.

Good vibes and location, but...

Liked: The property was in the middle of the city and had a really laid back vibe. Security was generally good.
Disliked: It was really loud all over. The windows had to stay open because of an AC issue, so you heard every car and bird all night. The walls were really thin and you could hear people just walking down the hall. The rooms didn’t seem like they were cleaned often with lots of dust on the vents, and I found a substance in my luggage that looked suspiciously like mouse droppings.

I had a great time,...

Liked: Location was excellent, the pool table made for a great social aspect, the night life was great, propagated by the pub crawl set up by the hostel. The staff were lovely, specially Chris who spent far longer than he needed to when telling us about places to visit and things to see, while have a friendly and approachable face the entire stay. Nathan also was a great member of staff as he was very approachable and social with us
Disliked: The stairs made lots of noise, I couldn’t hear it from my room but I felt I may wake people or annoy them while going up.
