Gram's Place Hostel
Tampa, Florida

Good Music, Good People, Good Fun
Gram’s Place is a B&B / Hostel / Hotel hybrid tucked away in the Historic Tampa Heights neighborhood of Tampa, Florida. Gram’s Place was established in 1991 by founding owner Mark Holland as a result of his having traveled to Amsterdam. Impressed by the tolerant nature of the people there, Mark returned to his Tampa, FL home with a dream: Mark’s dream was to create an environment where people could gather in both the “Spirit of Music” and in the spirit of “Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ”— (All Are Related) — A Native American phrase that reflects a world view of interconnectedness that is held by the Lakota people of North America.

Mark’s dream is realized and continues to be to this day. Everyone who has since stayed at Gram’s Place contributes to the everlasting vibe— whether it be a lasting friendship, a memory, a work of art, or just a pleasant circumstance. One thing for certain that Gram’s Place has plenty of is ambiance and personality. All have contributed to that personality which you are also soon to partake of. You too will then be yet another part and addition to that ambiance that makes up the whole of what is the indelible“Gram’s Place Vibe”. Welcome. We look forward to getting to know you.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
"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!"
-Anette L.
* * * * (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 tunes just knocked us out!"
-Candace E
Easily one of my favorite hostels. Very friendly staff and they offer a lot for the low price that you pay for a dorm: complimentary breakfast with plenty of options, a hot tub, plenty of places to work on your laptop if you're working …

Absolutely loved it here! The owners and hosts were so kind and helpful. And all the other guests I met there were so much fun to hang out with. The beds, bathrooms, kitchens, and common spaces were clean and well stocked. The hot tub was great, even as a tiny pool with the jets off too. The patios below plus balconies and catwalks above made the outdoor space here really special. And all the fun extras and knick knacks were one of a kind. Every time I go back to the gulf coast,I’ll be happy to use TPA now that I know I can stay here. Thanks Gram’s Place!

I saw another reviewer that described the place such: "It's like a treehouse but bankrolled by star fleet. Nice people." I wish I'd have said that!
-Richard K
The whole experience was great. So glad I found this spot. And it’s the only one in Tampa. It had a very euro vibe, and the atmosphere was super chill. During my stay I had the pleasure of rooming with an eclectic group of people that were all interesting in their own right. This place is great for a pit stop or for making your base camp for a few days.

This was my first time to a Hostel, and I was sure lucky enough to pick Gram’s. The uniqueness of the property and the great people I am definitely going back again.

I usually stay at hotels when I come to Florida, but I decided to try a hostel route on my latest visit. On the outside, Grams Place may appear strange, but once inside you felt like you were at home. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. I booked a private room which was clean and refreshed. The community kitchen was appreciated, and I definitely helped myself to breakfast on the house. Looking forward to staying again in the future!
