Convenient location in that it was super close to Brown. It’s right downtown, but the entrance is difficult to find. It’s an old dorm so it’s worn out. No amenities.

This place is unsafe and way overpriced for what I got. My room had a loud sound, I called the hostel and they gaslighted me by saying that there wasn’t a noise. The place was empty except for a couple and a maid

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The first room I checked into was riddled was bed bugs… luckily, whoever I emailed allowed me to check into a different room that night. No bed bugs in that room but there was a strong odor of mold and mildew. Woke up the next morning with a shallow cough. I opted to not stay my second night because this place was so gnarly in the worst possible way.

It is room for homeless, poor condition, public bathroom, everything in highlight is shared by whole floor or even whole building. These rooms are supposed to be free, Expedia should not sell it.

Disliked: Amenities
I was here for a Saturday night, and there was lots of loud activity outside, including racing cars, until about 1:00.After that it was quiet. Location is very convenient for exploring Brown’s campus, and there are many restaurants nearby. It’s challenging to find the place, since address numbers are scarce. I really appreciated being able to check in early! Thanks! I never saw a person who worked here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property should not even be listed as a Hotel since it doesn't have any of the amenities to cater to guests. It is philthy, noisy and not practical at all. Moreover, the so called "team" is a lying woman who can talk the talk but the place clearly does not walk the walk. Expedia should definitely remove this pseudo establishment from its partners.

It was my first time staying in hostel. I loved it. Make sure you register before check in. This is the only way to get number to enter the building and room. There is no service desk or human. It is kind of hard to find without an email from hostel and directions. Room is huge and clean. Washroom and kitchen are clean. There are no spoons or knives. Bring your own
