After all of the construction, and the renovation work of the East building, it's odd that there's no elevator! I'm movement impaired, and while I appreciate the great help I got with my luggage to the fourth floor room, it's really unacceptable to not have elevators!

The price HI informs you to expect to pay (after deducting for the deposit) is way off from what the hostel actually charges you, which is considerably more, allegedly for a 15 percent accommodations tax in Philadelphia. How is it (if this is indeed true) that HI is not aware of this and factors it into the prices it posts on its web site?

It is explained very clearly on the HI website that a 15.5% tax is payable at check in. It is displayed under the header “Important Info” on the page where you select the room, as well as the booking summary page (once you’ve selected your room type) where the price is displayed, as well as the next page once you’ve entered your name. We also sent you a confirmation email which also clearly states the price and that the price does not include tax. Then two lines below that it clearly states that “A 15.5% sales tax will be added to your bill and charged when you check in.” In the United States, tax is not included in the rates. This is not just true for our hostel, but all hotels and hostels.
