  Welcome to Gram's Place, where BnB stands for  "Bed'n Beat" => Hostel & Music;  Dorm Beds starting at $23, private rooms at $50 per night 

Gram's Place - where time stands still and the music plays on...

 

We have quiet, restful MUSIC THEMED Rooms and a simulated RAILROAD Station Depot with SLEEPER CAR as our Coed Dorm. In Florida everything happens outdoors, that's why we have remodeled our sunning deck and oversized heated in-ground Jacuzzi. For the late evening hours, guests meet & greet at our all favourite BYOB Bar "Parson's Pub".

What travel books & guests say:

 

Let's Go USA, 2009:

"The only hostelling option in Tampa. What the "train" dorm lacks in spaciousness it makes up for in quirkiness and you're sure to bunk alongside some interesting folks!"

 

Insider's Guide - hostels U.S.A., 2009:

* * * * (four stars out of five!)  =  Excellent!

"This place is an Oasis in Florida, a combo B&B and hostel... If you're the type to noodle away on a guitar for hours this place is practically heaven. Cool! Overall, hostellers just love this place! The owner's friendliness, the cleanliness and centrality, the Boho vibe, and the constant tunes knocked us out!"

 

Lonely Planet USA, 5th edition, 3-2008:

"Rooms at this 'rockin' hostel are themed by music genre, the jukebox spins more than 400 CDs!"

* * * *    Diferente              Comment by Monica, Colombia             October 2009

Es un lugar diferente..y por el precio esta perfecto!

 

        * * * * *   An Oasis -- very relaxing place!       Comment by Andrea, Germany        August 2007
My guidebook sold this place as an Oasis and I have to agree. There are live concerts and

you can have lunch under palm trees and enjoy an ice cold cola on the roof top. Stayed in the

'adventure room' and gazed at the stars at night - I loved it!

The owner was fantastic. He upgraded my room for no reason, I booked a dorm but he gave me a private room with a TV. He drove me into town and to Clearwater beach (which was going to be a mission on the bus) He went well out of his way to find things out for us and even offered to put in $20 for three of us when we were going out to dinner. If we had accepted, it would have almost covered the entire meal! The hostel is easy to get to from downtown and the area is safe and residential. Internet is free and there is plenty of common space inside and out to meet people.

 

 

Featuring 2 old Tampa cottages, circa 1945, shaded by ancient Oak trees laced with Spanish moss.  Embellished with quaint walkways, porches, 2 courtyards with waterfalls, palms, Flowers and vines. 

 

Our guests are: International, respectful, tolerant, business professionals, couples and families with children from all walks of life, as well as some artists, musicians, singers, songwriters, actors, painters, and poets from all corners of the world.

You'll find Gram's Place most comfortable and eclectic, with the laid-back feel of a faraway island and a European attitude. Many guests’ ideas are now and will continue to be a part of creating Gram's Place over the years and we encourage it.  

We are nondiscriminatory of race, color, creed, or preference. 

 

This is a fun relaxing place!

Stop by and say “hi!” next time when you’re in West Central Florida.
