This place is all you can ask for in an American hostel. It's not spotless, but it's definitely clean enough. American hostels as a whole are terrible, but this place feels like an actual hostel. You really feel like you are experiencing Tampa. Bruce, who now runs the place (the brother of the original owner), has put a lot of... more

My only regret about Gram's Place is that I arrived pretty late one night, and had to leave early the next morning ... so I missed out on all the legendary music that goes on there. The whole decor is really funky, and the other guests were friendly -- and seemed like they'd been staying there for a few days... more

I read all the reviews - but still was very excited about the hostel/hotel.... so I booked a room anyway. Then I received the automatic email confirmation saying my room was reserved for $60 a night- which is exactly what the website said. Then the next day- I recieved a non-automatic email from the gram's place manager saying that my... more

We had booked the Country Room at Gram's Place for what we thought would be a fun and interesting alternative to the usual hotel room. I searched hard on line for a budget friendly decent place, and chose this based on good reviews. How anyone could give... more

A real treasure in the heart of Tampa. I was just amazed. I have never seen anything like it before. I was planning to stay at a nearby hotel but it was full. We were even thinking of driving to orlando when suddenly we found this place. It was just great! The atmosphere was just fantastic and very confortable. I... more

This is a B&B/hostel. Never stayed in a hostel before. So, a little suspiscious at first, but was very impressed. We got our private room with a private bath and shared a kitched with other rooms. It was very clean. The byob bar was very refreshing and very welcoming. People just hung out there, we had some good times there.... more

I absolutely adored Gram's Inn. My boyfriend and I stayed there based on this site's recommendations and the promise that it was something out of the ordinary. Those factors combined with the price (I believe our room came out to $60) guaranteed our reservation. Mark is very kind and was a fantastic host, facilitating everything over the phone and online... more

If you like adventures and good music that never ends, then this is the right place for you! Check out the train room. more

We recently met with old college friends and stayed at Gram's. If your meeting a group like we did, I suggest you stay in the area of the house where rooms #7 and #8 are(there are actually 3 rooms) as this was really convenient. It was like having our own home. The owner Mark Holland was a terrific host. If... more
