This is the cheapest place to stay in Philadelphia - $15 a night if you're an American Youth Hostel member, $18 if you're not. The restored 1802 Federal-style country estate is loaded with character. Flags line the entrance hall; rooms are styled after an 1850 country villa and walls are decorated w...

Chamounix Mansion is a Federal-style edifice constructed as a country retreat at what is now the upper end of Fairmount Park. It has six air-conditioned dormitory rooms for 44 people, with...

It's an old building so you get creaky sounds of the old...

It was my first experience in a hostel in U.S.A. I really liked this hostel. With international student ID or Student advantage card, you get fifteen percent off. The receptionist guy, who has been working there for six years, was really helpful. The hostel does not provide any food/cafes but there ...

This place is every bit as beautiful as its name, and the people were incredibly friendly. Problem: it's way out of the city, you have to ride a bus and then walk a mile (!) to get to the hostel itself. Also, there are not a lot of...
