I think this hostel was very good. But, it didn't provide patrons with breakfast. It was very inconvenient. Except for it, I like this hostel.

Hi Rinae, I'm sorry, but instead of offering breakfast at the hostel everyday, we instead offer free things in the evenings to help everyone socialize. Every evening we have either free beer, free wine and cheese, free pasta or free drinks. Most of our guests prefer this. We do offer free cereal and oatmeal on the weekends and every day of the week we have a very cheap breakfast option at a nearby American diner where our guests receive a 10% discount. We usually mention this at check in, but there are also signs all over the hostel mentioning this. But if you don't like to meet other guests, then I hope your next hostel has breakfast!

Too expensive, but the only reasonably located hostel in Philly.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff was nice and helpful from the very first moment, they had many tips of what to do that you usually don't look up on the internet. The location is awesome (5 min walk from Liberty Bell and Congress Hall). We had a great time watching movies and playing Wii all night, so if you don't feel like going out after an exhausting day in Philly you still have the opportunity to do something else than going to bed ;-)

Maybe it was daily interactions with unhappy people. Both staffers I met were sullen or indifferent. I was just another body. That's ok, I just needed a bed and a secure place to sleep, and it was that.
