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.

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.

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.

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

Hostel near Brown

I have stayed at hostels and budget locations around the world and found this location in need of some attention. For those looking for a hotel experience, this is not the location for you. This is perfect for those on a budget. It is located in the heart of Brown University with plenty of food options. The street life can be a bit loud with cars revving their engines from 6 PM - 1 AM. The smell of the vape shop/hookah lounge below adds an extra flavor. I had no issues with these things - it was more the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms and room. When I arrived the bathrooms were a mess and my room looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. I did call the manager about the state of the bathrooms and they had their cleaning team clean them the next morning. So that was a good sign. It would be great in the future if their cleaning team put a bit more effort into prepping the rooms. FYI - bring your own soap and shampoo since none is provided.

The hostel was not very clean. There was no soap in the bathroom or kitchen and the hand dryer did not work. One of the showers did not have a curtain. The room was okay, but very hot and the street outside was noisy at all hours of the night. The bed was comfortable and the tv with access to Netflix was a nice amenity, but the room was a little run down. There was a child living in the hostel who would run up and down the hallways and make noise. At one point he would not stop hitting my door. Would not recommend this place unless you need a cheap place to stay for a night and plan to be out of your room as much as possible.

does the trick

It is hard to find a cheap place to stay in the heart of Providence; so if you are looking for that, this is the place to stay! I think my biggest issues with it was security (it does have a code to get into the building and your room, but other than the security cameras, there is no front desk etc) and noise. The walls are very thin so you can hear the people in the rooms next to you, the people in the hallway and the people on the street. Other than Saturday night where I heard lots of people going out on the street, it was not much of an issue. The hostel itself was decently clean (except for the kitchen on occasion) and for the most part I had the shared bathroom to myself (cold and hot water available for showering but I would say there was no soap for the entirety of my stay there :/)

The two sofas were very old and not taken care off (full of stains), we didn't even think about sitting on them. The bed was old and also damaged, the sheet and towels looked clean but since the rest of the room didn't it was very concerning. I hope you get ride of the old/stain furniture. There is cheap furniture in Ikea that you can use instead.
