Yowie Wowie :)
I love Yowie hotel! I've stayed here 3 times during recent business trips to Philadelphia. I always stay Mon-Thurs so any concern of South Street noise has been a non-issue. I almost don't want to say what my favorite room is so nobody else books it (it's mine!)
I am a solo female traveler so safety, comfort, convenience and cleanliness are of utmost importance. Check in is super easy and staff is just a text away if you need anything. The highlight of Yowie is how cool it is though. It feels like you are staying in your dream apartment that doesn't have any of your own junk in it. You can tell they didn't overlook any detail with the design and amenities. I will definitely be booking again.

Philly phun
Sarah at ‘the front desk’ was helpful in keeping my bags and getting me started. Great for anyone who needs to get some work done or wants a kitchen while staying in a wonderful part of Philly.

Lovely place to stay - character, fun view of the neighborhood. Pretty noisy up until about 10 PM, but if you're looking for charm and character, this place has it in spades!
