A friend and I stayed here for a weekend in Nashville and absolutely loved it! The hostel actually feels a bit like a hotel, except with a more relaxed vibe. The bedrooms and showers are very clean, as well as the commons area. There is also a sweet kitchen area and laundry and drinks are available for purchase. Everyone we... More

My apologies for my review on Nashville International Hostel - it should have been on Nashville Downtown Hostel. The Downtown Hostel is the new hostel in 1st Avenue (on the riverfront), which is great. The location is superb; the hostel opened in July 2012, so everything is new and modern. My stay was great. I have never stayed at the... More

So.. I'm writing this as I still sit here in the lobby, waiting on my shuttle to the airport because I just can't wait any longer! My friend wanted to celebrate her birthday in Nashville and told me she wanted to stay in a hostel and I was soooo not down for that. She literally had to twist my arm... More

The hostel is located just a few minutes walk from Broadway meaning the bars, restaurants and public transport are all very accessible. It is also within approximately 10 minutes of other sites such as the Tennessee State Museum and the State Capitol. It is also right at the edge of the city centre meaning meaning you can also be on... More

This place is absolutely amazing! The building is totally renovated and in a perfect location just feet away from the action of downtown Nashville. Everything in this building is new in from the last year. The common area is open 24/7 with no noise restrictions and is spacious and has plenty of room to hang out in. The floors that... More

Our room was right in the center of the hostel which made it very stuffy with no windows or fresh air. Arthropod are very open with no where to get changed except out... More

Please note that interior temperature is set to 71F (22C). The temperature control get a little tricky when outside temperature changes from 30F to 75F (-1C to 24C) and humidity changes from 20% to 80%. This doesn't happen often but does happen some days in Spring time. Please note that we have large community bathrooms (There are two). A bottle... More

It was my first time staying at a hostel & wasn't sure if it would be for me. I did only stay 1 night but I have to say it did exceed my expectations. The hostel is down by the Riverfront (a little confusing if you're walking there from the other side of town, but once you find your way... More

Fantastic location, comfortable and spacious lounge, clean restrooms, decent beds...and a bargain price. This is what a hostel should be. Rooms are all named after country music stars. My floor had two private bathrooms, plus a large "group" facility. Also, in addition to the main lounge, my floor had a smaller, quiet living room to relax in. Kitchen with a... More

This hostel has a lot of good things going for it. Perfectly situated in the heart of downtown, you can walk everywhere easily and the famous honky tonk strip is just minutes away. Despite being so central it has an unbeatable low price. The level of cleanliness throughout the building was exceptional (bathrooms were the best i've seen in a... More

For the most part this hostel is great. The whole place is spotless with newly refitted bathrooms and big lounge area downstairs. Dorms are very minimalist but it's fine. Security was excellent - you need your swipe card to get in everywhere, even the downstairs bathrooms and the lift. Location cannot be beaten. A block from Broadway and totally fine... More
