The virtual check in was super easy and we were allowed to check in an hour early. As soon as we walked into the foyer before taking the elevator to our room you can see the place was well kept and smelled recently clean! Room 302 was super spacious, clean and the decor was cute. The bed and pillows were perfect too along with the robes!
Snack and drink selection to buy was reasonable and great too!! Would highly recommend and will be going back.
Really enjoyed this place! Was accommodated an early check in which is always great. The item curation in the room is very thoughtful. I left wanting to buy most things for my house. I would book this place again!
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!
This is a uniquely great hotel option near many shops, restaurants and history in Center City. The room is very well appointed and relatively quiet for being on South Street. A great deal compared with other fine hotels. Will definitely stay there again!
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.
I will start by saying if you book through a third party site like hotels.com, always confirm with the hotel that they have your reservation- as we went to check in and our reservation was not received and had been double booked with fault to hotels.com- the YOWIE owners were incredible at rectifying the situation in a timely fashion and comping food for us/ holding our bags until we could check in and upgrading our room. I can’t speak enough about how excellent this boutique hotel is- clean, modern, unique, thoughtful details, staff are efficient and kind, couldn’t recommend more. Looking forward to our next stay here.
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.
