Redlight Historic Bunk Hotel and Speakeasy

Hotel

I intend to come back here on every single solo snowboard trip I ever take to Tahoe. It's the perfect spot for 1 or 2 people that need a cheap, simple place to sleep. It also has a full kitchen and an awesome lounge to relax in. All of the workers are very friendly as well! That being said I would definitely recommend this to the younger, more hipster crowd. This is not a conventional hotel. I'm personally glad that it isn't!

Awesome hostel with incredibly nice staff and clean facilities. I had travel issues (getting stuck on I80 during a snowstorm) and they sent me info so I could check in late. Beds are comfy and there’s storage locations for ski gear. No dedicated parking if you’re driving but you can easily find overnight parking in Truckee.

Great place for an overnight. Ski storage in the rooms, plenty of hooks to dry things out, cozy bunks, free towels. Also a bar and a sauna and a very nice kitchen and a TV room downstairs. One stay docked from this old man because it's a bit rowdy for those of us who would rather early to bed and early to rise.

The Redlight is too unique to describe with mortal words. It is it’s own category.

It's a hostel, so don't expect the hotel experience. You'll be in the same room as 7 other guests (unless you pay extra for a private room), and sharing a bathroom. That said, this is one of the nicest hostels I've stayed at. You get your own semi-private sleeping cubicle with curtain, lights, and locker. They've also got a bar and dry sauna, which is super nice. Supposedly there a house dog (Moki), but sadly I didn't see any dogs around. Bottom line, as long as you're willing to forgo privacy (like any hostel) this is a great stay with a nice social atmosphere.

There is no parking spot designated for your room. On the street, you have to pay during the day and during the night parking is not allowed. The only overnight parking allowed is in the corner parking lot, where you stil pay during the day but you are actually allowed to park during the night. Though, there are not too many parking spots there! My room was only 10 by 10 with a shared bathroom. There is no sound insulation in rooms so we can hear the bar which is open in the lobby and everything in the hotel and everybody around you. The kitchen is shared too. Though, the price you pay is pretty much the price of a hotel. My room was pretty cold to me and I had no option to control the heater.

The hostel was very easy to find, and had a really cozy atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen was nice for cheap meals, and the various common areas were a nice place to relax!

Very cool place to stay with bar to hang out at.

The best facilities for a hostel I've stayed! Clean and tidy with full kitchen facilities and lots of personal space inside the room.

Not a hotel. It's a hostel. You'll meet fun people and have a great time. I love the hats that everyone can wear at the bar. Great ice breaker.

One the coolest and most friendly establishments I have EVER been to! Very well done facilities, and kept up immaculately. THIS NOT HOTEL, this is a hostel, you will be sorely disappointed if you come here expecting a hotel. But if you come with an open mind and a friendly demeanor you leave with more friends then you came with.

I really appreciate that this business is here! I work in Truckee but live in Reno and so far twice this winter I have been stranded in Truckee because the storms shut down the freeway. This place offers an affordable escape in an excellent location. I loved being able to check in while enjoying a drink at the bar. The bunk beds are really cozy and are fairly private. The bathrooms are clean and I had no issue with the shower. If this place wasn't here I'd half to pay twice as much to stay at a normal hotel and I wouldn't have enjoyed it half as much.

A great way to experience Truckee! I spent 2 months in a private room at the Redlight for a ski trip. I had never been to Truckee before and was surprised at how quickly I got to know the area through the Redlight. The old fashioned saloon bar was a great place to meet fellow travelers and even local townies — — which is a special way to get to know any town. I couldn't have felt more comfortable with the staff and their accommodations. I'll definitely be back!

First time I stayed here, I was more than satisfied and pleasantly surprised! I have now stayed here on multiple trips. -Nice clean comfortable sheets (and mattress) -Includes clean towel -Nice private bathrooms -Friendly staff that are fun to hang with in the evenings -There's a kitchen area -There's a sauna -There's cool attic upstairs I am very impressed with the bunk "capsules". The curtain is very handy. Plus it includes outlets, a light inside, and a place to lock your stuff although I never felt the need to. 10/10 for the very low rate hostel! You will be happy here :)
