Knoxville is great! Remember, you can ride the downtown trolley in the daytime for free, and the KAT buses do run at night to some very good places. Also if for some reason the air quality is yellow or orange, KAT buses will be free.
Knoxville … There's a great retro clothing and furniture store, Legacy, you gotta see it!!!
Nashville … Visit The Love Circle at West End Avenue. Look for it on Google Maps. It can be a nice place to take in some peaceful time with your companion and has a nice view of the city.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … I spent 10 days at this hostel while doing research in a local library. Al and Brian are fine hosts. The accommodations are good and the kitchen is a bit of a challenge if more than one person is trying to prepare a meal at one time. The hosts' knowledge of the local area and its history are first rate. Location is very convenient and no problem with parking for those with vehicles. It's a bit noisy with the Interstate next door but earplugs are available. Definitely worth a stay!
Uncle Johnny's Nolichucky Hostel & Outfitter in Erwin … Had an excellent stay. Included with the night's stay was transportation into town for both Lunch and Dinner (I took a long day there chill'axin). The camp store is well stocked with goodies. The bunkhouse was very comfortable. As Johnny says "The shower never runs out of hot water!" and it didn't. Highly recommended for the stay. Right on the AT and no travel into town required, unless you want to.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … Fantastic! The owner is very kind, warm and helpful. It's a comfortable, homey place that was actually hard to leave!
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … Great location. Five-minute walk to old city and ten minutes to downtown. Al (the owner) and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast, coffee, tea, linen, towels, and internet makes for a great deal.
Music City Hostel in Nashville … I've stayed in many hostels over the last five months and this one would be one of the nicest yet. The staff are attentive and will always give you the time and help you need. They know the good spots in Nashville to visit (in which there are many) and there are always people around to join you in your adventures. The rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable, and the sheets are clean. Overall, the facilities are more than adequate. In conclusion, Nashville is a very charming, with plenty to do and the The Music City Hostel facilitated one of the best times of my trip.
Music City Hostel in Nashville … Had a great time at this hostel, such a friendly place! If you want to meet people and just basically have fun I recommend a visit. Most nights we had BBQs and sat out in the garden talking, but if you want your space the dorms still retain the privacy. And there's no stupid rules like at other hostels, just basic common sense ones like don't shag in public. I had seen a few negative reviews (heaps of positives but too) coming into stay here, so thought there may be problems. But I was really pleasantry surprised! Dirty and dingy? Never even crossed my mind, I've seen some absolute shockers on my trek across the states and this place doesn't rate. It was clean, free wireless is fast, and Klaus and Ron (owner) are really cool cats. Everyone gets to each other pretty quickly so a good place for the solo trekker. Pretty easy to get places as well, definitely go and eat at the Hospital Cafeteria if you stay. Cheers for the memories, had a blast!
Music City Hostel in Nashville … Music City Hostel is after thirteen years of traveling the best place I have stayed. Ron and Tracey take you in as an extended member of the family and Hope ensures no one is left out. The trio work the crowd well and everyone can benefit from the relaxed and homey feel generated. The dorms are clean, as are the bathrooms. The beds very comfy and the whole place is really safe and accommodating. No one goes hungry, with communal meals on offer and Ron and Tracey's outings to various restaurants and shops. I highly recommend the place for anyone of any age. I arrived for a week and left after three! Best time ever -- well done guys.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … Great place to stay! Exceptional management. The smallest hostel I have stayed in but one of the best.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … I love this place, and the very kind people who run it. I was hosteling by myself for the first time, which was a little scary, but Al the owner helped me find my way around and gave great suggestions for food/music/strolling/hike. He even packed me a little snack for my hike in the Smokies the next day! I think I was rather spoiled.
Music City Hostel in Nashville … This is a wonderful hostel. We were there for Thanksgiving and received a warm welcome. Clean, fun, good size, friendly. Highly recommended!
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … I had made the decision to stay at the hostel, but didn’t really want to at first. I was on my way to Great Smokey Mountains National Park (about an hour away from the hostel). Once I stepped into through the door I was very happy to be there. The staff was very welcoming, and made me feel at home. I didn’t go out that night, though many options and recommendations (including live music) were made available to me by the staff, and were within walking distance. Several days later on my way back from the National Park I decided to stop back in for a good nights rest before my eleven-hour drive back home. I was greeted like an old friend. I was sitting in the boys room when Al (the owner) asked my new friend from Peru and me if we were interested in some tickets to the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. We both were very interested, but low on money. Al gave us the tickets ($60 each) for free, and even drove us to the parking garage. The staff and people staying there easily made…
Uncle Johnny's Nolichucky Hostel & Outfitter in Erwin … We had a great time here. The hostel was located in a gorgeous area right next to the nolichucky river. I think they had bunk beds and tenting, but even better, they had beautiful, inexpensive private cabins. We stayed in one, and there were books, videos, a little TV/VCR, and a cozy quilt on the bed. It was so relaxing!! Also, the cutest dog and cat live on the property! I definitely recommend it.
