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

Disliked: The staff in the front desk she wasn't an American( in the evening) she was literally rude and obnoxious. Kind of teasing. I didn't like that lady. She was acting like she is something.

Value for money !

Liked: Great location, all tourists things are nearby and convenient.Lot of "hostel" facilities, like pool table, card games, common area to relax, nice sofas, well equipped kitchen. Provides towels pillow cover and sheets. Beds are comfortable. Washroom and Bathrooms are clean.Offers free drinks / beer on alternate days.Staff guides you well, when you enquire.Safe lockers in room to for your luggage. Access card for entry and exit.Allows to store your luggage after you check-out, as needed.Over-all, good value for money.
Disliked: After reaching 4th floor, I found that my access card didn't work. So had to get down to ground floor reception all the way, to get it reactivated. This was very uncomfortable experience on day 1. Later it was re-configured and then I didn't face issues.Room and bathroom cleanliness could have been better.There are no elevator/ lifts to reach any floors, and to be on 4th floor can be, "way to inconvenience"

It was good.

Liked: The activities the hostel offered daily. The location is close to museums.
Disliked: The location is in an alley that is not lit. There is a huge homeless and substance abuse problem in the area. I did not feel safe, especially at night.
