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.

feel at home

Liked: Overall the stay was very positive.Every day the facility plans something that makes it possible to create bonds and friendships even for those traveling alone.I was particularly impressed by the staff, all very friendly and helpful.Among these, in my trip, João stands out without a doubt, who welcomed me upon my arrival, taking care of my check-in and helping me with my luggage, and Pablo with his cordiality always available for advice on what to visit and how to appreciate Philly as much as possible. Both really sunny, they are able to bring at least one smile to people's faces every day for the entire duration of their stay.If I were to return to Philadelphia I would choose this hostel again, for sure.
