About this property

The Jeff is a boutique hotel and private oasis located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall. Nestled above the world famous Jefferson Theater, you'll find sleek spaces, soaring archways, and subtle luxury with a rock and roll edge. Once you're inside these soundproof walls the world recedes like a dream – until you're ready to emerge, refreshed, with the heart if the city on your doorstep. To ensure privacy and true getaway vibes, The Jeff was designed to be entirely self-service (no front desk or need for check-in). Upon booking, you will receive a unique code that gives you access to your room.

The Jeff offers:
"Suites" with king beds w/additional living area
"Studios" standard king bedroom

Jeff Studio 303: Each room is individually furnished, with a distinct personality. Think effortless cool, creamy suede, and desert colors with pops of quirky humor.
The Jeff Hotel Studios feature a luxurious, custom-made king bed - perfect to settle down in after a hard day's rockin' with a flat screen TV. A Marshall amp speaker is provided to kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes. Each room is equipped with Nespresso coffee maker with pods, an electric kettle for tea that is also provided plus mini-fridge. Our spacious en-suite bathrooms boast high ceilings and walk-in showers.
Purchase of each room comes with one, single-use parking voucher for the nearest parking garage – about a 3-minute walk from the entrance. Being on a pedestrian mall the hotel has no on-site parking, but we think that having Cville's most popular bars, restaurants and music venues mere steps away is a great trade-off!

Other amenities:

*Note – The Jeff Hotel is located in a historic building above the nationally renowned Jefferson Theater so it has no elevator. Each room is only accessible via stairs, in some cases multiple flights.
Due to the active nature of the theater below, there will be times where there may be crowds outside of the main entrance waiting for an event or during an event.

Great Location, Studio is Accurate

Went to a concert at The Jefferson Theater so this was a perfect spot. Probably the smallest and darkest hotel room I've ever stayed in, but it served its purpose. Maybe a bit pricey considering the size.

Great Location

Fantastic location for a fun one night trip -- very convenient to go right upstairs after a show downstairs. The mattress was comfortable and the bathroom and room clean. Everything looked like the pictures. I would stay here again but try to get an end room, as the room next to ours turned out to be a mirror image of ours, which meant the headboards of the bed shared a wall... and you can guess where this is going here. The rooms are advertised as sound proof, but that doesn't apply to the percussion of our neighbors' headboard hitting the wall during their extensive midnight and somewhat shorter 7:30 am "bedroom activities." I think if the headboards were secured to the wall this could be prevented.

Great location

This is in the heart of downtown C'Ville. Nice decor and as small as advertised. Not a spot to hang, but plenty around to make it enjoyable. All in all, it was a good experience.

Accommodating Staff, Clean & Quiet

The staff at Guesthouses was very responsive and accommodating for our need for an early check-in. The room was clean and quiet, great location in the heart of the mall. Would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Drew Thomasson

Created in 1976, Guesthouses Reservation Services in Charlottesville, Virginia emerged at a pivotal time in the hospitality industry where travellers wanted a more personalized and comfortable stay wherever they travelled. The bed & breakfast was a largely European phenomenon before today's time and Guesthouses sought to bring this type of travel to the United States. With the announcement of the Queen Elizabeth of England's trip to Charlottesville, Guesthouses Reservation Services was born to accommodate all the tourists funneling into the city to set eyes on the Queen. It was a roaring success in Charlottesville and gave visitors a peak into how the locals lived and gave homeowners a chance to showcase their homes and provide exceptional experiences. Newspaper and magazines all over the country (USA Today, Travel & Leisure, Virginia Pilot), all saw the benefits of this new phenomenon of Bed and Breakfast accommodations.

Guesthouses was started by four women who saw this need for change in the hospitality business long before the times of AirBnB! Guesthouses was the first of its type in the country. The motto of "Guesthouses is YOU and works for you" still stands today over its forty years of ownership. Guesthouses historical, and current, aim is provide guests with a true authentic Charlottesville experience and accommodation that differentiates itself from the traditional hotel.

In July of 2019, Drew Thomasson, a Charlottesville native, became the 5th owner to continue the long legacy of Guesthouses. Drew, son of two UVA Alumni, grew up on Rugby Road immersed in the UVA and Charlottesville culture. Even though he decided to venture to Tennessee for college, he has always been a Wahoo at heart. He has called Charlottesville home ever since from returning from college. Being that Drew had experience in the vacation rental industry and property management (locally and internationally), he saw a great opportunity to take the legacy of what Guesthouses had already established and apply that towards the current market trends of today.
