This place has a lot of character. It is not your standard chain hotel. The people are friendly and it is close to the historic district and downtown. Most of the rooms have been updated. I would recommend the experience.

We've stayed here every time we've been in Tampa. The vibe is awesome, there are always new people to meet, it's within decent walking distance of so many things, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I can't think of a better place to stay.

Located in a safe area near the airport. Real friendly atmosphere and typical hostel beds.

I left a couple great comic books in the library of the communal area. Hope you enjoy them and if you want more, Comics & Stuff is ten minutes away.

When we arrived here we were greeted by a nice older man, he checked us in and gave us our room code and took us to our room. upon seeing the room it was a very small space with a bunk bed, table and single sink , the restroom was located outside(not an issue) later on we realized there was what looked to be mold on the ceiling, we were only staying the night and tried to disregard as we didn’t want to cause any issues. the next morning before we left we took the sheets off the bed to make it easier on the cleaner and found large amounts of black mold on the sheets. this was very shocking and unacceptable. we were in a rush and couldn’t find anyone upon checkout so we left. if you stay here check everything, this is absolutely disgusting. i have attached pictures below.

I had the pleasure of staying in the Rock and Roll room, which is quite nice and has its own bathroom with shower. It's a comfortable room, and facing the outdoor kitchen and lounge area. Upon check-in, I felt immediately welcomed (thank you, Bruce!), and met some very interesting people during my stay. The location of the hostel is very central, and is walking distance to downtown and other attractions, and is pretty close to the airport. The hostel is very cool, eclectic, and full of interesting stories! And there is a bike in a tree... it'll make sense when you see it. The staff was lovely, and I want to give a personal thank you to Bruce Sr. and Bruce Jr., Sammy, Andrew, Lisa, Demi, Kieran, and Sunny the Cat for making me feel welcomed, and allowing me to have such an enjoyable stay. Awesome place, awesome people, and chill vibes. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, and I look forward to staying again! Hasta la proxima!

As with all hostels - they are all different and will be the ideal for some and not others…

Pros:
Friendly folks from all over
Folks from a nice age span
Clean bedding
Unique vibe
Folks staying there seemed to be enjoying themselves and one another
Safe neighborhood to walk around (I walked from downtown and no concerns)
Outdoor music and restaurants within a mile walk

Cons:
Drunk and high folks
Terrible bathroom to folks staying ratio
Half the individuals in my room were challenged with the key pad to enter
Wait time to get into the property (I’ve traveled throughout all 50 US states, some territories, and close to 70 countries) and this was the first that it was uncertain if anyone would let me in after calling, texting and emailing)

Enjoyed staying here until it became very uncomfortable when Brce JR. thought he could try to date me. I came for a clean and comfortable place to stay for a few nights not for a date or romance. Not professional at all.

Last night I had a reservation, no one answered the bell at the gate or after a couple of attempts answered the phone number they ask you to call if a staff person doesn't answer the bell.

If I could give them a 0, I would. Sounds like some people have a great experience. Others like me have had experiences with their unprofessionalism. Their unprofessionalism made for a long night scrambling for a hotel.

Beware, you could be stranded

After two years of backpacking through countless hostels in Australia and the US, I can confidently say this hostel stands out as one of the best I've ever experienced. Nestled in a property bursting with character, it offers a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The staff, a delightful blend of warmth and friendliness, elevate the stay to something truly memorable. Special mention to the owner, Bruce – a genuine gentleman whose commitment to ensuring an exceptional experience goes above and beyond. In a world where not all hostel workers are equally helpful, Bruce is a refreshing exception. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Looking forward to returning for another fantastic stay!

It is literally the best hostel I have ever stayed. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. The place offers a lot such as free kitchen stuff. They have a bar and an open patio to sit and chat. It is also super clean and has a nice environment.

Don't come here for nice rooms or location. It's the people that make the difference.

What a treat! 1st view this place has an awesome vibe: combination Key West & Provincetown. Totally eclectic design inside too. Since I chose a one room it's comfortable with a designer bath

I have traveled around the world and stayed in a lot of very special places.
"Grams" will definitely stay in my mind as one of the extra special ones.
Thank you for a fantastic stay!

I have always had a good time in Gram's Place. The first time I came with the Amtrack train. You have a kitchen in the hostel where you can make your breakfast every day. The breakfast items like eggs, pancake mix, fruit, coffee and tea are there. You cook your own breakfast, just clean up everything yourself afterwards ;-)

There is also a lovely heated spa with bubbles. The wifi is very strong and can be used everywhere in the garden and inside. Bruce the owner is very helpful. He recommends restaurants, supermarkets and nightlife. For example The River Walk during the day and Ybor City at night. In short: Gram’s Place is a wonderful place to chill out and meet new people. Definitely recommended!

The location isn't too bad, it's definitely an interesting place to stay. Price isn't too bad comparable to a hotel, but there's competitive airbnbs that are cheaper. I stayed in the Folk room, heard some weird noises from the trash can. Turned out to be a huge roach. Not judging, they exist all over in Florida. But might wanna spray. Bed was a little uncomfortable. People were nice but definitely not the typical hostel traveler types. Maybe I came during a weird off period or something. The staff were nice folks, only thing that sucked was check out. It was at 11 am and I didn't get back until 11:20 to grab my stuff. So instead they did it for me and had my suitcase in the office. I understand needing to get folks out but it wasn't that long. Not a terrible stay but not a great one either. There's lots of potential but might be best if traveling with someone vs solo.

Nice staff for letting me check in early. However I’ve got to say I couldn’t wait to get out of there I left at 7am. Shower had no warm water and just trickled out of the head… no water pressure at all. Someone staying next to me was yelling on the phone with it on speaker with the door wide open from 2pm to 6pm. I could hear the whole phone call. He/she then blared the TV until 3am I had to put my earplugs in. Woke up to people having sex later on that night at around 3am ????….
Place was run down and looked nothing like pictures. Wasn’t given towels.
Would never go back here

They call this a hybrid B&B and hostel. They do have private rooms with private bathrooms as well as shared sleeping spaces. They do provide breakfast ingredients, but you have to assemble your own meal and that means cook it yourself. They provide everything you need to cook, you just have to clean up after yourself. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable, however the shower walls and floor had someone else's hair on it so we bypassed the shower. We could have used the outdoor shower which seemed clean enough but it would have been too inconvenient for us so we opted out of the shower experience. We told management about it (and had pics to prove) and they were very sorry and offered us 20% off our next visit. I think for the price, it's worth coming back. This place is not wheelchair accessible and difficult to navigate if you use any type of assistive device, so I would stay clear of this place of you have any physical disabilities.

I stayed here twice. Once in 2015 when I first moved to Tampa and was waiting on my first apartment to be ready. Then again in 2020 when I was in between apartments and had no place to stay for 3 days. Even though the amenities are as bare bones basic as it gets, I enjoyed my time there in 2015. Mostly because of the really chill vibe and the charming decor. Unfortunately in 2020 I had a bad experience that soured it for me. There were dead carpet beetles all over the blues room. At least a half dozen of them. But worse yet I got bit by a spider in the bed. My foot swelled up and I stripped the sheets and saw another spider scurry away. The mattress was about 20+ years old with the wooden boards underneath falling thru the box spring. The front desk guy (not the owner) had an attitude with me when I told him. I too itched for weeks after and had to get a prescription for Permethrin (a cream that treats scabies). Of course the owner will vigorously deny this but I am not the first or second or third review to mention this. It is not a grand customer conspiracy - the place is unsanitary. It's really too bad. If they would overhaul the bedding with new mattresses and new linens, and would commit to a deep clean of the floor once a month, this would be an awesome place to stay even if you were local and just needed a few days with some light music and cute scenery.
