A message to our guests:
On the morning of December 25, 2020, a bomb went off on historic 2nd Ave in Downtown Nashville. While we are relieved to report our guests and staff are all safe, the 2nd Ave side of our property was damaged in the explosion.
We will be temporarily closed while we assess damages and work through our reopening plans. If you have a reservation with us, we will be making contact with you soon. We are confident we will return to business and cannot wait to welcome travelers back to Nashville in the months ahead! Thank you for the support. #nashvillestrong

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Our hostel is located 1-block off of Lower Broadway, the live music and entertainment area of Nashville
Downtown Nashville is known world-wide for its rich history of music! Nashville is home to talented instrumentalists, performers, and song-writers and every day of the week you can see them playing the Honky-Tonks on Broadway and other venues across town. We are down the block from the famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, where stars such as Willie
Nelson would duck out the backstage door of the Ryman Auditorium between shows to grab a drink. We are also blocks from the Country Music Hall of Fame, Nissan Stadium, Ascend Ampitheater, Music City Center, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, and Bridgestone Arena. There is no absence of good food, drinks, music, and fun right outside our door!
