Great location in the heart of historic Philly

Set close to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell as well as the city's historical core, this hostel impressed with its outstanding location. Film buffs keen on visiting the ‘Rocky Steps' (i.e., the entrance to Philadelphia's Museum of Art) were pleased to find that this landmark could easily be accessed thanks to this property's proximity to public transport links. Indeed, many were impressed to find that the 2nd St rapid transit station is located adjacent to this property.

positive:

Young and hip vibe, engaging staff

Oozing a young, hip vibe, this property went down a treat with backpackers keen to make the most of their time in Philadelphia. The overall ambience is urban and cool, with many particularly impressed by the common room area. Others also really liked the graphic graffiti art that's featured throughout the building.However, it's the staff in particular that really make this hostel a stand-out stay. Engaging and warm, they organise tours and nights out and seem to be unfailingly friendly.

Rooms and common areas are clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable and the happy hour - hosted and run by this property's all-star staff - is legendary among guests. These points have helped to ensure this hostel's popularity for those looking to explore all that Philadelphia has to offer.
