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.

YOWIE was amazing! My boyfriend and I travelled to Philly for the eagles game. We were given an earlier check-in and they held our bags for us. They even brought them up to the room for us! The rooms were also beautiful and big. We also appreciated their recommendations such as the cool vintage shops. The only thing that was annoying was the app, it didn’t work. But we were easily able to reach out and text them with any questions/concerns.

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.
