Waymore's Guest House

Outstanding stay from start to finish. Ari provided exceptional concierge and bar service, professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The rooms are modern, clean, and finished with high-quality materials, offering both comfort and quiet. The coffee bar and breakfast were excellent with great options and coffee. Gym 5 is an excellent facility, clean, and made it easy to keep up with training while traveling. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend.

We had the best stay at Waymore’s Guest House during our trip to Nashville! The vibes are good and it was such a fun, stylish spot that felt both trendy and welcoming at the same time. It ended up being the perfect place to land regardless of where you were headed and we loved not being in the chaos of Broadway. Breakfast and coffee bar were both so good and convenient to have right there in the lobby before exploring the city. Everything felt thoughtfully done and the curated vibes made us feel like we stayed at high-end boutique hotel but at a reasonable price. The amenities were all good and we loved that they provided a day pass for us to attend Gym5 which is walkable and had everything we needed for a great workout. A special shoutout to Ari at the bar — truly wonderful! Whether you’re stopping by for the wine happy hour before heading out or coming back for a nightcap, Ari makes the experience even better. Friendly, attentive, and just an all-around great presence with good conversation! We would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in Nashville!

Waymore Guest House is truly exceptional! During an absolutely insane storm that left us without power or heat, they went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we arrived, the kindness, flexibility, and genuine care they showed made an incredibly stressful situation feel manageable and safe. They were insanely accommodating, welcoming us while displaced and making space not just for us, but also for our dog and cat, which meant the world during a time when options were limited and emotions were high. Nothing felt transactional, it felt human, thoughtful, and generous. On top of all that, the space itself is beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell they truly care about the experience of their guests. Waymore Guest House didn’t just give us a place to stay, they gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. We will never forget their kindness and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Great experience at this hotel during a difficult time with or recent ice storm/power outages here in Nashville. Staff super friendly and accommodating for pets. The rooms were comfortable and well kept. Really nothing but positive things to say and having access to gym 5 just a short walk away was a top flight amenity. I know that the storm also affected staff at the hotel so that they were able to take care of their guests so well at the same time is very impressive.

We had a great overnight stay! Check in was smooth and the standard room we were in was the perfect size for 2 + a large dog. I wish I had the time to enjoy the rooftop bar as I’d heard great things from the friend that recommended this property to me. I was able to dine in the restaurant for breakfast. The breakfast burrito was amazing, and my dog loved his scrambled eggs that the kitchen made for him! Everyone was so sweet to him, and there’s a large park a few blocks behind the hotel that made for a great morning walk. I will definitely be staying again next time I’m in town!

my husband and I stayed here Saturday on Valentine’s Day and loved the hotel. However, we left to go eat dinner and go to a couple local bars that were recommended and returned not being able to access our hotel room. We told the people that worked in the lobby and they were very nice and told us they were calling a man by the name of Mike to help. We waited an hour and were not even allowed a drink at the bar while waiting, but got in our room. Anyways just letting yall know we enjoyed the hotel but would love it if we could get in our room next time

This was such a cute hotel. Loved their vibe. I will be coming back here next time I stay in Nashville for sure. They have a really great breakfast here as well.. not free, but worth the money 😊 I loved that this was on the East side of Nash which still had restaurants and bars all within walking distance from the hotel, but it wasn't full of traffic and loud, obnoxious drunks. The rooftop bar was my favorite part, and the view was nice with lots of private places to sit and enjoy your drink. They offer your 1st drink free! Drinks were made really well.. tasty and beautiful 🍸🍹❤️

My husband and I stayed here for one night to break up a long road trip home. Cool building, room was nicely decorated and bed was comfortable. Daily 18$ fee pays for onsite parking garage and drip coffee. We checked out the bar and had a good time. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. Possibly bad research on my part, but be warned if you are staying as a guest at the hotel that there are fees for virtually everything in addition to the cost to book the hotel. I understand not getting complimentary breakfast at a place like this, but I’m surprised there isn’t even a discount for those staying as a guest there. We were excited to see there was a tray of snacks and drinks waiting for us in our room, but come to find out that each little snack has an added cost to your stay with a price menu right next to it. I understand it’s Nashville and things are a little pricey by standard, but nickel and dime-ing water or a granola bar for a few extra bucks was a little off putting. Additionally, the shower didn’t have great water pressure and my husband had to fix our toilet multiple times as the valve wasn’t functioning right. We didn’t call the front desk over it as we were just staying one night, but it was a little frustrating. I think the place is doing a lot of things right as far as staff, decor and atmosphere, but I’m not sure we’ll go out of our way to come back due to all the reasons above.

We LOVED our stay at Waymore's Guest House. Elijah welcomed us at check-in and informed us of everything available for us to enjoy during our visit. The location is perfect for enjoying numerous eateries in the neighborhood or hopping on the bus to responsibly enjoy hot spots like music row and the gulch. Nashville area has lovely golf courses so we had fun's filled days and evenings followed by comfortable nights at Waymore's. Don't miss the roof top at Waymore's. It's a beautifully designed space (lots of plants and thoughtfully done seating for any size group to find a space and feel like you have it all to yourself) plus a view of the Nashville sky line!

We arrived in the evening and there was no front desk (counter?) person so I guess the bartender was doing both jobs. He seemed put off that he had to check us in. No affect, not welcoming at all. The lobby has a really cool/young vibe with couches, various sitting/cafe table areas and a photo booth. Very lounge-y feel to it. We had to park on the street while we checked in, as you need the key card to access the garage. The garage itself does not feel too secure because it's just one of those arms that raises for you to drive in and the fencing does not enclose the garage completely so anyone could walk in off the streets and mess with your car. That was probably my biggest worry while staying here. Thankfully you need a key card to access the building and elevator from the garage, so at least they thought of security in that way. I felt safe once I was inside. The room itself was good enough, with an industrial feel. Bed was comfy. Nightstand lamps had built-in USB ports, which was convenient for charging our phones. Closet was just a built-in hanging rack with shelving--adequate enough but could've used a couple more hangers. They provide a clothes steamer, which I was not too crazy about. I feel like it doesn't do as good a job as a traditional iron and takes so much longer to get wrinkles out. Hair dryer was adequate. No complaints about the room except that the lighting is pretty dim, but didn't want to open the windows because the view was overlooking the main street--not pretty. I was concerned about the location because when we were driving there we passed what looked like projects that were located not too far from the hotel, but it turned out to be fine safety-wise and it's not too far from where the action is in Nashville, so a quick and easy Uber ride away. Would I stay here again? No, probably not. But if you're a younger 20-30-something-year old, you might like the vibes here. It is a cool place to hang out.

Stayed here for a work trip and the staff was really kind. I came during a sweltering heat wave being from San Diego it was a bit rough. Really surprised the roof top bar has not an ounce of shade. Ordered breakfast at the cafe one morning and it was quite slow so had to pivot to take out despite being downstairs about 45 min before I had to leave. Staff is kind and the style of this place is quite cute.

A friend saw this online and we decided to come in & grab a quick drink to go. I got a dirty chai with two shots of espresso and it was pricey but it was good try. My friend got a raspberry matcha hot and she said it good and would get again. Definitely good for being attached to hotel and still making a separate vibe.

Service is AMAZING, rooftop is a VIBE, incredible views, unmatched ambiance, the drinks are FIRE. Coming back as often as i can !

What's the number one most important feature of a hotel? The bed. They had one of the most uncomfortable and noisy beds I've ever slept in. Pillows didn't smell good either. Metal bed frame stuck out to bang your leg on. So, regardless of other positive features, I cannot give it a good rating.

Stayed here for 2 nights and the hospitality was very kind. Checking in was easy and they mentioned the amenities they offered. The stay included wine hour from 5-6 where you can get a glass of red or white wine for free. The rooms are comfortable with black out curtains, heavy blankets which was a plus for the cold air blowing at night. One of the elevators was broken so it was a little inconvenient waiting for it or you had to take the stairs ( they had different sets of them which was good ).

This rooftop situation is a gift to East Nashville, $15 cocktails and all. The bar staff was kind, the night we went had a DJ theme blasting early 00s emo and it was such a fun time. I'll absolutely be back to frequent this spot.

Vibe was as pleasant as can be. The parking/check in situation is a cluster as there is one tiny spot so you can get a key to get back in your car and to the parking garage. Bed is not comfortable and I am 5 foot 3 and my feet hung over the edge. Not enough lighting in the room, it's all on or all off. The air conditioner makes some clicking noise all night so had to turn that off. It's a cute vibe just not lux. I wouldn't stay again but it was clean and maybe just too modern for me.

Stayed there recently. Beds were uncomfortable and we did not feel safe as there were people living in tents adjacent to the property. There are nicer hotels in better neighborhoods in Nashville. Also had an event here and found the venue booking department was unethical. I would never stay here again.

Booked a one night stay for my boyfriend's birthday, it was absolutely perfect. The bedding was so nice and cozy I didn't even miss my own bed. It's was very clean and a beautiful atmosphere. I wanted to make sure I picked a place that fit our vibe and wasn't too over the top fancy that we felt out of place and this really nailed it. I will say the claim of city views was a stretch but everything else made up for it

I love finding hidden gems and the food menu at Waymore's is truly one for the books. Billed as a guesthouse, Waymore's is more than a boutique hotel. Serving a brunch menu from 7 am to 2 pm and a bites menu from 3 to 9, Waymore's offers a number of options for something to satisfy your hanger in a chill and low-key atmosphere. I've been for brunch and lunch and feel like my experience has just gotten better and better. The grilled cheese comes with 4 different cheese that ooze and drip out as you bite into the sandwich, fresh crusty sourdough, pesto, and sun dried tomatoes (ends up tasting a bit like a pesto pizza but better.) The tots are crispy, salty, and perfect. The beyond sausage that comes as an option at breakfast is truly one of the best I've had. I can't wait to try more of the menu. Dog friendly inside, if you sit in their lounge area, which was wonderful as there are so few eateries that are dog friendly inside. Cozy lounge chairs and games throughout the area with hip decor. Small but tasty coffee menu (lavender honey latte is not to be missed) and I haven't tried their drink menu but hope to on future visits. Easy parking behind the building, making the experience so easy. Just a stunning, funky, and tasty place to grab a bite and leisurely hang out!

Cool vibes, rooftop is cool. Won't stay here when I come back to town. Jenky and loud.

The chai latte iced was AMAZING. Their avocado toast, sausage patty and pancakes were good as well. I thought the food was very well presented and cooked. Food came out warm!

We stayed at Waymore's for two nights a few weeks ago when we were back in Nashville for a wedding. The hotel's location is convenient (the wedding and almost everything we were doing were in East Nashville or Donelson, so it was perfect for us), and it has some parking (not enough for everyone to park in the garage below the hotel, so overflow is street parking behind the hotel). The lobby is cool - very of the moment design-wise. They have a cafe in the lobby where you can get coffee and breakfast. Price is reasonable for Nashville and its location. Our issue with the hotel was the service. We got a call on the afternoon of the day we were checking in asking us what time we were going to arrive. I said we had an 8pm flight from the East Coast and would be in around midnight. They said that was cool. When we showed up, we were told they didn't have a room for us, that they were out of rooms. The staff member who helped us - and she was very friendly even if she was very confused about what to do - made a call in the back room and then said they had found us a room and they wouldn't have to transfer to us to another property (we had booked through a third party so she had initially told us they would transfer our reservation to a different hotel). This all took about 20 minutes and there was a couple waiting behind us in the line - I think the same thing happened to them. The room they gave us was a handicap accessible room. I appreciate their finding us a room but the handicap accessible rooms aren't the best if they aren't needed (shower without a lip, shower usable with holding the shower handle only, etc.). Something else weird in the room that really bugged my husband is that turning off the light in the bedroom turned off the power to the outlets near the bed so we couldn't charge our phones (I figured out that if we left the light switch in the hallway on, that that fixed the problem). I really do appreciate that they found us a room without transferring us to another hotel after midnight. And she was genuinely trying to figure things out. Ultimately, their overbooking their rooms and the confusion this caused when we checked in kind of put a damper on our stay. Ultimately, not a place I'd prefer to stay again, especially since it seems like Nashville is half hotels now and there are so many options.

Love the location near all the fun and funky East Nashville has to offer. Add in a really nicely appointed room and excellent, friendly customer service and we have a winner. Have never stayed a Waymore's property before but will now be on the lookout for the brand in other towns. Well done all the way around!

I'm a big fan of hotel bars so it comes as no surprise that I like this one too! I've been twice so far and it's lovely. They have plenty of seating options: couches, booths, chairs, bar seating, etc. One time they even had live music. First time we just had cocktails and they were delicious. They are on the seasonal/inventive side of the cocktail scene. The second time I got a very earthy and delicious mushroom dip. Highly recommend! If you want an easy night or maybe just a place to start or end your night, this is the place. I also saw they do brunch but I've never experienced it AND a rooftop bar is on its way.

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF! Staff was super kind, accommodating and took time to chat with us at the bar. The great atmosphere created by the staff also indicates that there is great hiring and training by the manager(s)! This is a fantastic spot to lounge and read a book or grab a meal even if you're a local not staying at the hotel (or if local - great for a staycation). The decor is modern and artsy. I am a fan!

A unique hotel with a hybrid upscale/vintage aesthetic. Purely on the merits of the uniqueness of the hotel and the quality of the room, I was quite satisfied. Price wise, there seems to be much fluctuation depending on the day and vacancy. I do quite like that the hotel seems to be made from a repurposed industrial/factory building; but it can at times feel more like something out of an art catalog rather than a place of respite and peaceful solitude. Likewise the corridors are very long, narrow, and unwelcoming. Whether this was made for a particular reason, I cannot say. I can, however, offer my bias against such an aesthetic. Next, here are the primary factors that made me less satisfied; whereas I otherwise would have proffered a four-star rating: Upon check-in, we were subjected to an additional fee which was not clearly advertised at the time of booking. Upon inquiry, we were told this is for parking. Upon inspecting the posting on an expedia, this is notated as a resort fee. Whether it is simply posted in an ambiguous way, be it from the merchant or the host, I cannot say. But again, judging simply upon what is, I do not care for the lack of clear and obvious transparency. To see the fee, one must click on the details portion of the advertised price and then go into depth to look for the breakdown. Perhaps this is an issue of buyer beware but it still significantly impacted my partner's mood and appreciation of the experience. Regardless of how you may fall upon the issue, I was quite disappointed by the receptionist's nonchalant and dismissive attitude toward my partner upon this topic. With that said, I will say that the parking quarters are quite tight but are secure. And the security is quite high tech. Quite useful, given the area is not exactly the safest. But then one might also offer the rebuttal regarding staying in an area with safety concerns. I can go either way on this. What did annoy me, however, was having to wait in line for about 20 minutes because access to the secure parking garage is limited to those who have a hotel key card to present and swipe upon entry. A person in front of me seemed to either not have her key card, be it due to forgetfulness or leaving it with her travel partner, or having had it become demagnetized. As there is not enough space on the adjacent road to turn into the parking garage as well as within the parking garage lane to turn back, myself and another person behind me were stuck while we waited for this person to receive assistance. By the time I had actually made it back up to my room, having first checked in and then immediately after seeking to take the car to the garage, I had felt exasperated to the extent I no longer desired to go back out and make use of my time in Nashville; but obviously, I did, as there is no time to waste when traveling. One thing that annoyed me but which I cannot entirely fault the hotel upon, is their tendency to text you with offers for an additional night's stay at a reduced price; after check-in, and likely as a function of vacancy. If you are indecisive or book things last minute, this can be quite viable. If, on the other hand, you are organized and deliberate, this would vary from being useless information to simply adding insult to injury due to offering information at the last minute when it is no longer valuable for consideration and incorporation. Though not explicitly the fault of the vendor and I am unsure of how to come upon this issue as well, there is mention for a free beverage upon check-in, one for each person per day, up to two people, per room, as per the listing on Expedia. I did not receive my beverages and if I recall correctly, the bar was not in operation when I had checked in sometime in the late afternoon/early evening. While I am unsure of a remedy for this exact incident, it was not major enough for me to make an issue of it; but at the same time it is something that was advertised. The principle kind of thing. The last issue I have is entirely not the fault of the hotel and for that reason I do not include that within my rating even though I still post it here for everyone to read within my composite analysis. While I have experienced a great number of antisocial people, I encountered a particularly high amount within this hotel. Are they travelers? Are they locals? Are they people who have connections to locals, or recurring/ wayward/transient/former locals? Who knows. Is it a Nashville thing? Is it a big city thing?

Came here for coffee and quick bite after yoga next door. Great space with floor to ceiling window. Nice chilled vibe. Friendly staff

This is such a hidden gem! A hotel in East nashville, with an all day cafe inside. I love this spot for chilling with friends, remote working, and a happy hours. They have a fairly large space in the cafe, but the lobby is also super cute with fun decor and seating.

Rooftop here is definitely a vibe. It is a huge rooftop with lots of open space and private coves for you and your party.

Hats of to Keith!!!! He is a strategist and problem solver! Fire pits weren't working he brought out 2 heaters! You are the best! He deserves recognition !

Got here at 2:45 couldn't check in 15 mins early ok understand that but it's now 3:20 and still having to wait 30 more mins for room.. not starting out well.. very un organized at front desk won't be back and not within walking distant to downtown..

Brunch is wonderful. Homemade biscuits and bacon are good. Sausage is really spicey. Very relaxing place.

Great room, better service. Incredibly friendly and breakfast in the cafe was wonderful. Will stay here again!

Beautiful hotel, everything perfect, except the cleaning products in the air -- from the surfaces and blown in thru the AC -- make it unbearable. I'm not that sensitive and it was awful, totally toxic. The staff didn't seem interested in the feedback. Don't stay here if you're even slightly sensitive.

Cool little place to stay. Seems to cater to people who want a hipper vibe. Parking is convenient, it's in a great spot, the rooms are nice, nice bar and community area downstairs. The only thing I didn't like was the lighting in my room. I do like to have overhead lighting if I need to see something, like for packing, and there was plenty of this, but aside from that I prefer low lighting, lamps for example, and there weren't enough of these. Sounds petty but if you're trying to create a space away from home, lighting is key.

If this place had a pool I'd never leave! This is my fav place to stay in Nashville! It's pleasing to the eye and the staff is always friendly! They are renovating the roof and I can't wait to see what that will look like. The beds are the comfiest also.

This might be the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Holy wow! No AC in the dead of the sweltering summer! Sweated my sack off. Rooms are small and sparse. The staff needs serious hospitality training. Avoid this hotel at all cost!

Just stayed at the Waymore hotel. Clean & conveniently located. Our room was clean but furniture was uncomfortable. Nice big sink with cabinets working refrig. Could use a new mattress. Wanted to see the roof top bar but could not get up to roof. . Seemed like it was more unavailable than available. I did like the added security of the hotel. You have to scan from key to get up to room floor& get into building. Staff some were friendly & some were blah.

Great rooms and atmosphere. Their lobby restaurant was delicious with a great selection of food and drinks.

In 40 years of traveling the U.S., Waymore's is in my top three. The vibe is Urban meets Funky Southern. Impeccable service and exceptional food. We stayed three nights and I hated to leave:

Fantastic ambience, great hospitality, amazing food. Highly recommended. Cool venues close by. Just loved our stay there.

I stayed here in June for a work trip and had a decent stay, but this hotel has demonstrated poor management and a complete lack of customer service after I had some personal items thrown away by housekeeping. This has left me fuming after I was promised to be reimbursed for the items but still haven't seen a dime three months later. I tried contacting the hotel's management multiple times over the past three months to resolve this issue, and they told me numerous times that a check was on the way but still nothing. They consistently ignore my emails and have a complete lack of urgency to resolve the issue. This experience has left me drained, frustrated, and hopeless.

Cute boutique hotel. Great service. Staff all went out of their way at every interaction. Very trendy but comfortable

Adorable building. Staff was helpful and kind. We enjoyed this location. We did not get a chance to try the restaurant downstairs but we did eat at the Asian street food place down the street. My only issue was to me the room smelled stale. Maybe some linen refreshing is needed. Otherwise, loved everything about it.

Loved my stay at this hotel! It's new and clean. Staff is friendly & helpful. It's not downtown, which I prefer, but it's close enough where a Uber/Lyft will be about what we would have paid for parking. This is especially great when there's an event at the stadium. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Nice hotel, comfortable room and a cool vibe. But it seems like they need to work the kinks out. Checking in took 10 minutes while they figured out the credit card machine, hotel staff friendly but not very knowledgeable about the area. No ice machines on the room floors - so have to head down to the lobby every time you want ice. And no hot water in the entire hotel on our morning. So traveling home with out a shower. Doubtful we will return.

I only use Yelp for special situations. A terrible location or an amazing one. This place was absolutely amazing. The rooms are neat and clean and the food and drinks are absolutely amazing. If you're in Nashville this is the place to go.

My stay was an average one. There was no hot water through the weekend we stayed. The location is not the best but not the worst. A few times I walked out of the hotel, I was greeted by the homeless. I felt safe for the most part, but I could see where others wouldn't. No fridges in the room which is fine but you could only get ice at the front desk as there are no ice machines like usual. The coffee bar was also closed due to there being no hot water. Hotel views were nothing special.

This is my second time visiting Nashville, and I decided to go with a hotel that didn't break the bank, despite the fact that it had a lower rating. After leaving today, I can say this hotel deserves more stars than any other place I've stayed. The staff was incredible, the security was amazing, a parking garage for the car, and a well cleaned and beautiful room. We will definitely be booking many more stays here!

Do not order chicken sandwich. Disgusting. The coffee was good. But I would pick somewhere else. Tons of great places. Don't waste ur time

We were so excited to find Waymore's guest house when planning our family weekend trip. The atmosphere, rooms, location and price all were exactly what we were hoping to find! To say we were extremely disappointed and downright upset after our stay is an understatement. When booking our room we were trying to book the king bunk room because we are a family of 5 so this was the perfect option for us and actually the reason we picked this hotel, what a cool option for a family, we have been telling our kids for weeks they were getting bunk beds! After I booked the hotel I realized something happened after booking and it switched us to a two double bed room (obviously this would not work for us) I reached out to the hotel as soon as I noticed what had happened and asked if there was a way to update this obviously willing to pay the difference, to my shock they were so extremely helpful and actually upgraded the room at no additional charge and confirmed we were to have the king bunk room. Everything about this hotel is amazing until you arrive. Our check in was for 3pm we arrived at 3:15 only to be told they actually didn't have a room for us... that lovely upgrade we were promised yea they were not willing to honor that and low and behold they put us in the 2 double bed room.. a family of 5. On top of that the room wasn't ready so we could not check in until 4, were stuck in a lobby with 3 kids for 45 minutes while they tried to make room for us. Now let's talk about the room. bare minimum is an understatement, if you like sleeping on concrete you will love these beds, I actually didn't even know you could have a "bed" this hard. There is hardly room to walk the room is so small, there is no mini fridge and to top it off no ice anywhere to be found. Overall this was extremely overpriced and we feel we were cat fished if you will by how awesome the customer service was online.

We had a great experience! Loved Han! She was so friendly and welcoming. Love that you check in at the bar! Cool and funky place! Highly recommend!!

Nice hotel. Cool vibe. Staff was super friendly. Checking in was a breeze. We were in town for the Supercross. There was an issue with the hot water, but stuff happens. We would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent cuisine and a wonderful selection of bourbon flights from which we found out now go to bourbon- Knob Creek single barrel private reserve! Great French onion soup, bruschetta and burgers! Friendly staff.
