A hostel is basically a hotel with more shared space. Dormitory style Super Bunk beds, shared bathrooms, hangout space, and kitchen are the staples of our hostel. All this shared space is the launching pad for shared stories, shared experiences, and new friends!

Possibly. It depends on our availability for the day you’re booking. If you’re staying on a full house weekend, then the probability would be high that you’d be sleeping next to someone that you don’t know. However, know that our guests are tremendously respectful of one another and our Super Bunk areas provide an ample amount of privacy. With our private rooms, you’ll be behind a locked door.

No magic tricks here! There are several aspects of the bunk areas that contribute to the privacy: the wood wrap-around design of the bunks, the privacy curtains, the built-in fan for white noise. Also, the way the bunk areas are laid out helps: 4 bunk beds to a room, 3 bunk rooms to a floor. The bunk rooms are divided by a large partition wall and joined by a long hallway.

Yes. There are 30 free parking spots right next to our front door. Also, there are 15 spots, back behind our pavilion. Those are free too.

Definitely. Once you check in, we give you a keycard that gives you 24 hour secure access. You have to swipe that keycard to get into the building and again for entry into the accommodations area.

And around the area, we’re in the developing Southside neighborhood: well lit, a good amount of foot traffic, and since we’ve been here, there have been zero incidents.

For sure! There are number of great bars, restaurants, and art galleries. Alleia, Terminal Brewhouse, and Taqueria Jalisco are all great grub and drink options, within a 5 minute walking radius. Area 61, Hart Gallery, and Planet Altered are all fantastic art galleries that are a 1 minute walk away. Also, check out our custom Google map to check out all the bars, restaurants, attractions, and cool things we love here in Chattanooga.

Our normal check in times are from 4-9pm, Eastern Standard Time. If you’re arriving earlier or later than that window and you have a reservation, give us a call at 423-648-8393, and we’ll arrange your early or late check in.

Unfortunately not. We have a no pet policy, unless it’s a service animal.

Yup. We have free WiFi throughout the entire place and two guest computers that are free for our guests to use at any time.

You heard so right. We provide the supplies (eggs, Niedlov’s bread, Greyfriar’s coffee, and spreads), and you make it yourself. We’ll brew the coffee for you. Best part: it’s all included in your bed price.

It’s just a 24 hour window policy. So, if you cancel outside of the 24 hour window, you’re not liable for any remaining room charges. However, the 25% deposit that you put down to reserve the room is non-refundable.
