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.
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 … There's a great retro clothing and furniture store, Legacy, you gotta see it!!!
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … Amazing place. Staff could not have been more helpful. I enjoyed every moment. Visit this hostel!!!
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!
Music City Hostel in Nashville … Much more than just an economical and conveniently located hostel, lots of information at the hostel about what to do and see. Really a very personal touch from the staff who did not treat people like they were just another number. I would not agree at all that the hostel was dirty. I thought it exceptionally clean and the beds really comfortable. There are few hostels in the U.S. that meet this standard and if it did not exist then what would the options be for independent travelers of any age staying in Nashville. I met some really interesting people there.
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.
Pilgrim House Hostel in Memphis … The staff member that checked me and my friend in was cold and had no sense of humor, but that was the exception, not the rule. The other staff often sat up at night with us drinking coffee, recommending good, non-touristy locations, and generally being quite friendly. Yes, you do chores, but mine were "Dust Dining Room Chairs" and "Wipe off top of Bookshelf." It was hardly slave labor. It didn't have the community feeling of some other hostels i've stayed in, where hostel residents all chill together at night, but everyone greeted each others in the hallways and was generally cordial. I'd recommend it! Anyone who didn't like it was probably expecting more of a hotel feeling, or perhaps for it to be more like a commune.
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 … from the moment i arrived here i was treated like an old friend.
the management were absolutely lovely & it felt like being welcomed into someones home - towels, robes, homely rooms & free access to stuff.
i would recommend this place to my best mate or parents!
when i was there dollywood was closed (nooooooooooooooooo!) but its such a laid back little town that i had a cool time chilling out instead.
Music City Hostel in Nashville … Nashville is a great city and this hostel gives you privilege access to it. It is conveniently located near the cool Elliston / Church street, which has a lot of bars, restaurants, indie rock venues and such and about twenty-five to thirty minutes from downtown by walk. The atmosphere is relaxed, the layout of the hostel favors sociability and the owner is super helpful. Beds are comfortable and you get fully operational kitchens. Also, free internet. Pretty much all you could ask for!
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … after traveling for awhile and feeling kind of unwelcome in the state of TN coming to the knoxville hostel was like coming home to old friends or to my mothers open arms. i am so happy that now i will be leaving the state of TN with a positive feeling, new friends, and a new home i can always come back to here in knoxville.
Pilgrim House Hostel in Memphis … I stayed two nights around mid July 2007. The property was spacious, a pleasant change from other places. It was clean light and airy, and the staff friendly. I didn't mind doing a bit of housework. It reinforces the fact that the place does get cleaned daily. I hope to get back to America this year and would return to Pilgrim house when in Memphis.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … I've had the good fortune of staying at this hostel on separate instances. The first time was great -- clean, friendly, lovely. So, when I went back the second time I was expecting something less. I was wrong! It was still clean. It was still friendly. It was still lovely. The owner/manager is a great man and a wealth of information. He is nice, friendly, and quite entertaining. It a bit of a walk from the UT campus, but there are plenty of watering holes along the way to refresh you! I love this hostel, and will someday return.
Knoxville Hostel in Knoxville … Well situated in a very pleasant town, this hostel is great. Al is great and the other staff are friendly. There's inexpensive laundry facilities; a local phone; pots, pans, plates, and cutlery; towels; and nice sheets on beds that don't squeak; with floors that don't creak; and mattress covers that don't rustle like a plastic bag every time you move. I was traveling around the southern U.S. from hostel to hostel, and of the places I was, this place was like a pleasant holiday from the rest.
