The location is good if you want to go to cozy places that locals go. If you're interested in going Downtown or to Beale St it is a rather long and expensive taxi ride. Public transportation is extremely limited. For what Memphis offers, it's great but can be a little inconvenient.

I stayed for one night in January in the hostel - it was a nice stay. The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful! The dorms are not that crowded with beds, but the bed were not that comfortable! It is in a nice neighbourhood and it's no problem to park the car next to the hostel for... More

It seems like some reviewers thought they were paying $45 to stay at a luxury hotel downtown. The Pilgrim House is just what they claim to be. First of all, I loved the part of town it's in. We walked around and enjoyed the coffee shops and stores in the neighborhood. In the morning, there was breakfast items out. Coffee,... More

Conversing over Email, the Place seem to be just what we were looking, Upon arriving, we had to read through and sign about millions rules to do with the hostel, drinking and sorts of other rubbish. We were then instructed we would be doing some sort of cleaning activity each day and upon questioning what this might be we got... More

Based on great reviews on Tripadvisor, I went to PHH. I have to say: it was very dissappointing. Staff forgot to email me the codes to the door. So when I arrived at night (there is no doorbell and nobody answered the phone...) I waited about half hour untill another guest arrived and I could go in with him. Bathrooms... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this hostel. I felt very comfortable and safe during my time here. A large kitchen and nice furniture gives it a very homely feel. It's in a good location with nice restaurants. The staff are very nice and welcoming.

Pilgrim House provides basic hostel facilities in a pleasant floor of the bigger church complex. The facilities such as bathrooms and kitchen were very good, clean and comfortable. My husband and I had a private room which was clean but not very private as we had to walk through the mens dorm to get to it! We didn't realise this... More

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights - one night in the dorm and the 2nd night in a private room. Typically, when we stay in hostels we try and get privates, but in this case the dorm was just fine and we would of been perfectly happy staying there. The hostel is located in a nice part... More
