I love the property! The area wasn't great, but the inside was really unique and eclectic. The furnishings are simple. For a no-fuss stay, definitely come here. I felt very safe even though the area had graffiti.

Our one night stay at Michie Hostel was nice. There was some confusion about which unit in the building we had rented. When it became apparent that we required more beds, the manager was very accommodating. I would definitely consider staying there again.

DO NOT STAY HERE 1. The property is located in an area that I did not feel safe to walk around in. Being stared at by numerous large groups of people as they were setting fireworks off outside the building in broad daylight. 2. The hostel is located directed above a nightclub, which is not stated anywhere on the site. This nightclub was booming music all through the evening into the night so loud my floor was shaking and I could not go to sleep even with earplugs in. 3. The place is extremely unclean, from dishes left in the sink with flies everywhere, the bathrooms being disgusting with graffiti everywhere, the showers being so dirty I refused to use them. And finally to my room not even having clean bedsheets. The bed in my room was broken also. With the door lock looking like anyone could break in at any point with one kick. 4. I also did not see any sign of the host at any point despite displaying there was 24 hour service. They also did not respond to me via messages on Expedia despite me declaring concerns in the area I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYONE HAVE MY EXPERIENCE HERE. BY FAR THE WORST PLACE IVE EVER STAYED.

This is by far the worst place I have ever been at across Europe and the US. Please do yourself a favor and book literally anything else. Expedia was also not the best at advertising the place online (photos do not match!) or providing support after the check in. The room is extremely dirty and smells very bad. Same with the common area and the shared bathroom weren’t cleaned probably in years. Area in unsafe and the front door of the apartment is open 24/7. You can hear other guests from your own room.

If you really don't have the money

I arrived, and the room they offered me was full of garbage bags and extra furniture. Luckily, they answered my call and gave me another room, but I was supposed to have a king bed, not a queen. The ceiling light didn't work, so I gathered lamps to light the room. I felt unsafe as a man was sleeping in the shared space and was bothering my friend. The bathroom smells awful, but there was toilet paper by the sink. There is a hole in front of the urinals, which I suspect was an attempt to make a peek hole into the room I was supposed to sleep in. Someone put a fork in the shared kitchen, which attracted 100s of ants to the kitchen, and there were fruit flies around the trash can. It's a very eccentric and interesting room, but it was a bit unsettling. Our first night, we didn't hear anything from the 1st-floor nightclub, so I thought we were safe, but Saturday night, they played music well past 2 am. My friends wanted to get up early to go home for work, but we lost a lot of sleep to the pounding music. It would've been great if we didn't have to get up early, but it's just not the right place for a hostel. I looked in and there were only 3 people in the nightclub. Frustrating that I lost sleep over it. The area is nice, 20-30 min walk to the canal and close to There, There- a great sandwich from there. The lock on the door made me feel safe, and it was a nice room, aside from the broken light. The towels they provided me were dirst and had bits of rice or something in it.

After I spent 45 minutes by phone since there was no staff available at the property, I was able to access the property using a downloaded application and filling out the check-in form for the third time. The room was not at all like any of the pictures on the review. Last night I was kept up till 1 AM by the music from the club directly under my room the vent vents directly from the club to my room. The bathroom and chairs were clean, but half of the bathroom stalls and showers were broken This morning I was charged $charge the deposit that they held an addition to the $$ fee for the room because they claim my smoked. I’ve never smoked in my life. The van disconnected to the club and filled the whole place marijuana vapes I came for Brown university commencement, and this was the cheapest room room within walking distance. What a mistake next time further away and take Ubers.

A Charmingly Cheap Hostel

My buddy and I came into Providence for a concert and needed a cheap place so we didn't have to drive back. Price: Our one room with a bunk bed cost us about $33 per person after tax. This is much cheaper than anything in the area as most hotels were around $100 for the night. Hostel Quality: The building's outside doesn't look good but the inside is nice and clean. Whoever restored the building's interior did well. There's a common area with kitchen and a large table as well as bathroom and shower room. Area: The immediate neighbor doesn't look the best but its fine as long as you mind your business. Locals and other reviewers say similar. The worst thing we experienced was a homeless man asking for a cigarette. Otherwise, the location is great as its a 15-20 minute walk from downtime Providence. We had no troubles on our drunken stumble back from the bar. Problems: I only had two problems. First, the morning we were to leave, the bathroom didn't have any toilet paper and since the local stores and restaurants don't have public bathrooms, my friend was forced to buy some. The second problem is that there is a bar directly below the hostel that played loud music until 1 am. I doubt this is a problem most nights but I could see this being a problem if its the weekend and you want to go to bed early. Overall, if you're looking for a cheap place for 1 or 2 nights, Michie Hostel is perfect. I would stay here again.

We received the wrong room type. The room is insecurely locked. It takes 2 hours for the check in process as the code does not work. We asked for the refund and the front desk took 30 mins to handle then mention to talk with the manager and I never received a call back. The are very irresponsible for helping clients. Everyone basically can get into the building without security as no locker in the front door. We were too afraid to stay in this place so we immediately book different place to stay instead.
