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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
