Apple Hostel (formerly Bank Street Hostel) Review

This 140-year-old former factory and its two neighbors, located in the heart of Old City, offer basic, dependable accommodations for travelers on a budget. The dormitory-style rooms are spread over four floors of the complex. Extras include free coffee and tea, a billiards table, a lounge with a large-screen TV -- and no curfew. Kitchen facilities, washers, and dryers are available to use for free. Clean, dorm-style bathrooms are shared. Discounts on food and other items at area merchants are available. The hostel sponsors a neighborhood pub-crawl on Thursday nights.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
