Fodor's Review:

Several 1840s-era buildings were combined to make this hostel. Pancakes and waffles for breakfast, a garden where you can pick vegetables, and prices that put the rest of the city's lodgings to shame make this a great place to stay. Of course, you need to be able to handle a little peeling paint, a bit of clutter, and a less gentile neighborhood. Linens, a locker, and Internet access are free.

Beware the bedbugs!

Posted by newboldphilly from Philadelphia, PA on 1/5/08
I would avoid staying here unless/until they can document the full course of a proper, professional treatment for their bedbug problem . . . unless of course you're, uh, itching to take them with you - because they can and will get into your luggage.
