About this property

Boutique Hotel Room above The Jefferson Theater on the Downtown Mall

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:
•High speed internet
•Clothes steamer
•Hair dryer
•Heating and cooling
•24-hour guest support

*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.

Pet Friendly Room with $75 pet fee! 1 dog max. Please mention to us that you plan to bring a pet. We will charge a $150 fee if we are not notified of pets staying in the space. Please do NOT leave pets unattended in the space, unless crated.

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.

Not for out of shape folks
No elevator made it a challenge to carry overnite things up 2 flights of narrow stairs. My wife has a bad leg so I made the trip up and down for each bag. If we stay here again, I will be better prepared.

Best Location
I stayed in the Jeff for a week in Charlottesville and it was the perfect location in the downtown Mall, close to countless restaurants. The walk to the UVA campus was an easy mile. The room is tiny but cozy with good coffee and a small fridge. Very comfortable bed and great shower. The stairs (up 3 flights) were fine but those with mobility difficulties would have a hard time. Finally, the staff was attentive and thoughtful. Great stay.

The bad made good
Overall my stay at The Jeff was good. It is in a GREAT location and the property manager I corresponded with was wonderful. Since The Jeff is a historical landmark, it does not need to have an elevator or a separate fire exit. I didn't realize how much of a concern this would be for me until I got into my tiny 3rd floor room. When I reached out to the property manager, she accommodated a room change. Even though I was charged a fee, I was grateful for her genuine care and concern and her speedy communication back to me on what they could do to move me to a different room. The rooms are immaculate and even though you're staying downtown, the building is very quiet. The beds are super comfortable, nice linens. I would stay here again.
