The hostel is essentially an open, modern loft space that is divided into, common area (kitchen, dining, & living), private room, rooms with bunk beds, and rooms with pods. Pods are bunk bed units equipped with individual locker, shelves, lamp/light, outlets, and a curtain. You get a lot more privacy staying in a pod and it's well worth the $10... More

I loved this place. Super clean and friendly, great amenities, well located. The noise was an issue, but I just stayed out until midnight (on a Tuesday night) until it ended. The noise in the AM was also an issue (being an urban location, I could hear garbage trucks, etc) and it was at that point that I wished I... More

Thought this place was great till after I pay and get the tour the guy says here are complimentary ear plugs cause of the bar downstairs. Huh?! Ok, I hoped it wasn't that bad... But alas even with eat plugs and my pillow over the vibration of the bass from the hip hop/rock music and even sometimes the lyrics could... More

For me, I thought this hostel was wonderful! It was extremely clean with nice people, secure entry, and an awesome, downtown location. I can agree with everyone that there is some noise, but, for me, it wasn't a huge deal (the music coming from the bar was even kind of soothing). A friend and I both stayed in pods and... More

I've stayed at Sweet Peas twice, and everything that's said about the noise is 100 percent true. Unless you're coming in after the bars close, it is too loud to sleep without earplugs (provided by the hostel) because of the noise from below. If you can manage it, however, you'll be rewarded because Sweet Peas is a comfortable, warm (almost... More

Well, I'm a little torn on this one. The hostel is very modern and clean, safe and in a great spot downtown, and the staff are friendly. BUT I stayed there on a Saturday night and couldn't sleep because of the loud music from down below. I saw the reviews complaining about this before I went but figured I could... More

smart folks will avoid Sweet Pea's. There is a bar downstairs owned by the guy that owns sweet pea's that blasts music literally all night and day. just terrible. didn't sleep a wink. the price for a bunk is $30/night, and there is a full-function kitchen. the location is excellent. The facilities are all very clean.

This hostel really is perfect for those that plan to go out drinking every night of your stay. However, if you plan to go to sleep anytime before 2:30 AM you shouldn't even consider this hostel. Sweet Peas is located right above the L.A.B. brewery, and the live bands that play there can get really loud. I have stayed in... More

This hostel is right in the heart of Asheville, meaning it is really convenient to see everything. The staff were helpful and friendly and knew the entertainment options in the area well. The dorms were well equipped and the open plan area was very light and airy - with a very well stocked modern kitchen. Wifi was free, as was... More

This place is so clean and unique! The staff was super friendly and helpful! But to stay here you need to be comfortable with using earplugs while you sleep, the bar under the hostel gets very loud. But for a group of friends traveling or a couple who are able to handle the noise at night you can't beat the... More
