YOWIE (Hotel & Shop)

I stayed at Yowie this week for a work trip, in room 303. I loved being in a neighborhood with flavors and layers. Shannon and the team were incredibly thoughtful and provided a huge amount of recommendations for food and culture. Getting in and out was super slick and easy. Loved that I could walk to everything. The rooms were impeccable, design was 10/10 and even the street noise made me feel like I was truly a local. Room rates were far better than a crappy chain hotel!! Only negative was that I couldn’t stay longer. Highly recommend!!

I've been dreaming of a staycation at Yowie for some time & I was so happy I got to experience a lovely relaxing overnight at last! CUTE space, insanely good selection of curated books, furniture, & objects, great shower & local snacks ~ and only steps away from 4th Street (my favorite street in Philly). I love how Yowie is redefining iconic historic South Street. And big time bonus if you're like me and actually like to spend a lot of time inside the hotel room you've booked - with Forin downstairs & Bridget Foy's next door, you don't have to leave the cozy corner nest which is Yowie Hotel. :)

Yowie is an incredible gem in the heart of a city. We absolutely loved staying in Suite 203, with multiple Bay windows, super creative furnishings and a clean design. We have stayed in other rooms previously and can confirm you can't go wrong with any of them, but I just loved the windows on 203 if that's available. Every little detail is thought through, from getting a code to check-in, to extra supplies in the drawer outside the room, to a beautiful book that showcases the history of YOWIE and YOWIE hotel. My wife and I were seeing friends nearby and got to walk to/from their place without issue. Great coffee shop on the ground floor as well to start your day off.

Stayed in room 206 ... absolutely loved the careful attention to design and detail! Felt like I was part of an art piece. It's so nice the rooms have a kitchen available for storing drinks and reheating leftovers... it was like a home away from home. Plus, the neighborhood is so charming with great dining/activities at every corner. Definitely looking forward to booking extended-stays here with my family soon.

We had a wonderful stay at YOWIE hotel! Such a hidden gem with great amenities and reasonable prices. The rooms are clean, bright, and have everything you need! At first, our code wasn't working for the door but all it took was one quick call and the hotel manager came right over to assist and provide a new code that worked right away. Sarah was friendly and attentive, and I appreciated her quick help. It was also so nice that they offered a supply of extra toiletries and travel items in the hallway that were available to guests should you forget anything. Our room had a kitchenette, small fridge, and beautiful decor. The bed was comfortable and bathroom was a nice size for a boutique hotel. The location is perfect and an easy walk to Headhouse Square, Old City, and South Philly. We are local to the neighborhood and this will certainly become our new staycation spot!

Omigosh! Everyone at Yowie is lovely!!! I traveled to Philly & arranged a week staying here for my 58th birthday celebration. It was fabulous! They decorated my room! Gave me complimentary wine, a spa visit & and an Uber credit! On top of this, the rooms were incredible & the location was ideal! Can you believe?! Cannot wait to return!

My son and I went into Philadelphia for the board game cafe and decided to stay over. Great location, 5 min walk away if that and excellent spots to eat near by also. Everything was clean and looked great. Bed was comfortable and any issues I had they were just a phone call away. Excellent, will definitely stay again.
