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 stayed at this hostel the year before last when I visited for the Notre Dame game in town. The staff (including ownership) was absolutely great. I felt right at home. I wish I kept in touch with them. So far, this is the best hostel experience I've had -- U.S., Ireland, Florida, Hawaii and California included. The neighborhood is not the greatest, but very conveniently located for easy in and out (even for walking to the stadium). I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
Music City Hostel in Nashville … the hostel is very clean and very comfortable, lively in the evening and very peaceful at night. the staff are very nice and very helpful. the hostel is located in a very pleasant area at walking distance from downtown and the park. it's just about the right place where to chill out and enjoy the weather. Top notch!
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … I just found this hostel in Knoxville on my most recent trip through Tennessee, and I'm certainly glad I did. It's clean and friendly, and the hosts are fantastic. Even after having lived in Knoxville many years ago, I will choose to stay in the 404 hostel on all future trips to the area. Give it a try!
Uncle Johnny's Nolichucky Hostel & Outfitter in Erwin … i'm a seasoned thru-hiker with two thru-hikes and nearly eighteen thousand actual trail miles under my belt and very few places equal uncle johnny's! every time i've stayed here he has gone out of his way to accommodate my every need. how many hostels on the trail still charge the same rate they did years ago ($12) and offer free shuttles to town for groceries and food? not only that but johnny shuttled a bunch of us in for breakfast and dinner, dropped us off and came back later, and picked us up at no charge! now, folks, that is hospitality! but do me a favor. when he shuttles you around at least give one measly dollar each towards gas because it is expensive and really adds a burden to operations. some places charge you for every little tiny thing they do for you -- which is ok as it is a business -- so when you come to a place like uncle johnny's where true southern hospitality is a keyword you should just naturally want to stay there! thank you, uncle johnny, for all the…
Music City Hostel in Nashville … What more is there to say? I simply loved it! Me and my boyfriend stayed there for 8 nights and we had so much fun and meet so many cool people from all over the world. Including the owner Ron and Klaus (especially!) and Brad who worked there. Everybody was so nice and friendly and we had a BBQ and a poolparty and everything. Klaus had the coffee hot and ready for you when you woke up even if it was nearly noon. So what more can you ask for? And the place wasn't dirty or what ever that girl is saying. It was a really nice hostel with dorms with only 4 beds in them instead of 10 or 14 or 18 which you find in many other hostels. I give this hostel 5 stars. And I hope to see you soon:-)
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…
Music City Hostel in Nashville … I really enjoyed staying in Music City Hostel -- it is very safe, friendly, and clean! I came to Nashville for a Welcome Weekend for students admitted to Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management MS in Finance program and was able to walk to Vanderbilt campus in ten minutes. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Nashville to stay in this hostel -- you will enjoy meeting students from all over the world, the hostel staff will be very attentive to you, you will be able to cook in the kitchen, and you will be very close to downtown Nashville.
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.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … Anyone who has stayed in a hostel knows not to expect very much, but I was more than pleased with Al's hospitality and the amenities provided. He spent a lot of time helping a friend and I get oriented with the city, wireless internet was convenient although a computer was available as well, extra toiletries were in the bathroom, there was a hairdryer and iron available, convenient location. Initially intimidated by the area as I had never been to Knoxville, we had a newer car full of gear that stayed safe. I also appreciate Al's recycling, which can fall to the wayside when you own a hostel. The best hostel I stayed in on my trip!
Music City Hostel in Nashville … I had an absolute ball here. Booked in for a week and stayed for two. Met some of the most amazing people ever. Ron, Tracey, and Hope are very helpful and really want to ensure that you have a great time while in Nashville. It is a very clean hostel with great cooking facilities. Would Highly Recommend This Hostel.
Pilgrim House Hostel in Memphis … This hostel is awesome. Probably one of the best I've ever stayed in. It's run by five young people who also live there. The rooms are large and there are several common areas. Everything is clean and neat. The kitchen is really big and well equipped. There are small daily chores, but everyone there seems to be very environment-conscious. The hostel is located in a great neighborhood, but I guess if you don't have a car it would be a while to get in downtown (blame the Memphis public transportation, not the hostel).
