We were lucky enough to spend our Memorial Day Weekend getaway in the Monroe Room. The space was adorable and spotlessly clean. We tend to seek out chic areas off the beaten path when travelling, The Germantown Inn was all of the above and just the perfect spot to recharge. The staff was simply amazing and very accomodating. Top remarks to Chrissie, she was very passionate about the neighborhood and offered some great recommendations. We cannot wait to return for a longer stay!

We had never visited Nashville before.We wanted to stay off the main drag and found the Germantown Inn. The Rosa Parks room,in a charming building beside the main Inn. We were treated like a welcome family member. Krissy,Amy and staff were very helpful with good places to dine and worthwhile visits. The room was so comfy and decorated simple but elegant. They offer a delicious breakfast and happy hour with fine wine and charcuterie. Germantown is a great place and is within walking distance of great dining. Hopefully,we will do a return trip Thanks again.

Germantown inn was at a great location! It was super close to downtown, and Germantown itself had a lot to offer. Beth, one of the staff, really went above and beyond for us with recommendations. I'd also like to give a shout out to the manager, Kellie. She was exceptionally kind and helpful. The rooms are on the smaller side. However, definitely worth it for the location and the kind staff!

Our kids bought us a room to celebrate our Anniversary! The Inn surprised us with a upgrade and a bottle of wine from Natchez Vineyards. Highly recommend staying here. Not only lovely area but walkable too. We went for a Sounds ball game. Ate close by. Enjoyed time with friends who secretly gathered with help of our kids and we celebrated my husband’s birthday early. We got up and a quaint continental breakfast! Our room The Jefferson. The bed very comfortable King and pillows were wonderful. Very clean, quiet. Will definitely go back for special occasions.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful rustic, quaint, clean Inn. It exceeded our expectations. From the minute we walked through the door, to the friendly greeting, charcuterie and choice of wine or beer, we knew we had picked the right place. We checked out very early 4 a.m. and staff had a wonderful breakfast for us to take on our long journey home. If we are ever in Nashville again, we would not hesitate to book this place again. Thanks for making our stay top notch.

Nice, quiet room in a hotel with a great vibe. We had a great night's sleep, and found the inn to be a relaxing place to visit. We parked in the back and went around to the side door to be let in. Chrissy's breakfast was delicious, thanks, Germantown Inn!

We were in town for a show that was happening a few blocks away and chose the Germantown Inn as our home base for an evening/day. They were super easy to work with on the phone to make our arrangements. My friend that accompanied me requires handicap access as she is in a wheelchair. They put us in "The Buchanan" because it has a roomy bathroom and a full-size walk-in shower. Our arrival was rather early (4am), which was arranged prior, and we had no hiccups in the slightest. Everyone was quite friendly, the room was as it should be, and our experience as a whole was amazing. I would not hesitate in the slightest to stay here again.

A very impressive and historic property. We had a weekend stay-cation as Nashville natives. It was the perfect fix for our quick getaway. The team of staff was pleasant and welcoming. Chrissy and Bobby we so helpful with our planning and our stay. Rooms were well appointed, quiet, and unique. Highly recommended for anyone wanting close to downtown, but quiet when the time comes to turn in. Cleanliness a 5. Aesthetics a 5 Comfort a 5. We will return. Thank you Germantown Inn Nashville.

This is by far one of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed at. It almost seemed as it was a hidden gem in a great neighborhood. We mostly dealt with 2 staff members (I forget both the ladies names) and they were AMAZING. Every time we walked in they asked how our day was or if we needed anything. They were great at making suggestions for things to do while we were there and even went as far as calling ahead to make sure they weren't too busy. The happy hour and breakfast was great, and since there were only a handful of rooms it was never "crowded". We got to chat with other people staying there and the two owners. They were also great and it was fun talking to them about the Inn and great places to eat. We will definitely be staying there again every time we are in Nashville. Rooms were great and comfortable as well. We didn't want to leave.

Probably one of my all time favourite places I’ve stayed. Chrissy and Amy go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. Rooms are amazing, beds amazing, atmosphere amazing, neighbourhood amazing. We were able to sit and have wine with one of the owners as we were relaxing during one of their happy hours where Amy gave us a glass of wine and a charcuterie board. The neighbourhood is close enough that we would often just walk down to Broadway or hop on a scooter and be there in no time. I can’t wait to go back.
