Pilgrim House Hostel

1000 S. Cooper St.

Description

We have shared bunk rooms available for $25 per person. For the Private rooms we ask for a $55 flat fee. The facilities of Pilgrim House include warm and friendly common areas, full baths, a well equipped kitchen and food storage options for guests.

We are just about 15 minutes from the airport and downtown by car. We are also on MATA bus lines. We have 2 labyrinths (one inside and one outside) for meditation/prayerful/focused walking. Pilgrim House shares space at First Congregational Church with about 30 shared space partners–which makes for some interesting roaming around the place. Our Global Goods Fair Trade Store provides conscientious gift shopping & education. Through our partnership with Revolutions Bicycle Co-op, we can now rent recycled bicycles for $15 a day. And for those interested, Sunday morning worship begins at 10:30, with a coffee/fellowship time at 10:00.

The Pilgrim House Hostel is located in the heart of Cooper Young, a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in Midtown Memphis. The neighborhood, a lively mix of homes, shops and restaurants, is known for its free-spirited ambiance, which attracts artists, musicians, and folks seeking a diverse, creative environment from which to live and work. On top of that, you're only 15 minutes from downtown arenas, the music of Stax Studios and Sun Records, and world famous Beale Street!

The Pilgrim House is located in the heart of Memphis, only 15 minutes from the Airport, Megabus, Greyhound, and Amtrak station!

Greyhound Station to Pilgrim House
Take the #2 MATA bus from Airways Transit Center (stop #7) located next door to Greyhound Station to outbound stop #5 which will bring you to the corner of Young Ave and E. Parkway.
Head west down Young Ave towards Cooper St. Before Cooper, take a left onto Blythe. From Blythe you will see a series of 3 yellow brick buildings and a large parking lot. Locate the playground then the double red doors. This is the entrance to the hostel! Input the code given to you by staff then follow the stairs up to the 2nd floor and enter the code again. Voila! You made it!

From the Airport:
• Follow the signs to I-240 out of the airport complex.
• You will be on a road called Airways – stay on this road and do NOT take the actual exits onto I-240.
• Stay on Airways for several miles. After you pass a traffic light at Lamar Ave., you will go over a couple of bridges.
• After you pass the 2nd bridge, you’ll see a traffic light at Young Ave. Turn LEFT.
• Go about 4-5 blocks on Young Ave. and turn left onto Blythe Street.
• Go half a block – you’ll see the rear of the church on your right: 3 large yellow brick buildings.
• Turn into the back parking lot and park. (If you’re staying in Pilgrim House, you’ll be entering the red door closest to the playground. If you’re staying in the Retreat Center, you’ll be entering the door that goes into the basement of the middle building.
