"We booked this spot last-minute during an unexpected overnight layover in Philly and were so glad we did. The location in Old City was perfect—super walkable and felt very safe, even walking to grab a late-night Philly cheesesteak after 11pm on a Saturday. It was a little chilly, but still such a fun way to experience the neighborhood.
The property itself was beautiful—exactly as pictured, but honestly even better in person. It was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. We saved it to...
"We had a great time. It was a cute apartment and we were able to easily walk to all of the different things we wanted to see. Would definitely stay there again."
"First time in Philly and first time staying at a hostel. Met a lot of beautiful souls and long term friendships were definitely blossomed. Aner was the most chill and laid back individual, dude is very intelligent and gold laced, that goes for all the staff, everyone helped to point me in the right direction and I can’t wait to slide back up to Philly, much love to all the guests and staff at Apple Hostels! Much Love. "
"Reasonable priced, clean, comfortable beds, and a good breakfast included. Easy walk to Reading Terminal Market, Liberty Bell and other sites. The staff was very friendly.

"I have never had a better experience at a hotel. I did thorough research to find the right place and it did not disappoint. The owners are the kindest, most genuine people. The property clearly demonstrates the meticulous care as well as effort for their guests. It is clean, cozy, enchanting, private and unique. I am actually sad that I cannot stay a bit longer but I’ve already rebooked my next stay. Also, if you’re visiting for the arts or artistic performances, then this is your perfect spot....
"Clean, modern and stylish.
The staff was also very nice and helpful, especially Christie and Caydie at breakfast.
My only complaint would be that while our towels were changed and bathroom was cleaned everyday, our beds weren’t made everyday.
It was a very good stay, however and I will return."
"We stayed here one night for a day to while visiting New York. The hotel was fantastic and the location perfect. Really close to all of the main tourist spots.
The bed was so comfortable as was the whole room. There was free coffee in the room.
We loved the bar and restaurant in the lobby and even stayed in for dinner there. "
"This was our first time staying at Elements downtown and we absolutely LOVED it! The room was spacious and clean and the location was PERFECT for us to see/do everything we wanted to in Philly! Not to mention, the complimentary breakfast was made hot and fresh every morning while also offering plenty of options for things to choose from! Both my husband and I agree that this was one of the BEST hotels we have ever stayed at and we would recommend this place to everyone! "
