Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
For the price of staying here, I was willing to put up with a broken handle to my room door, dirty comforter, a wobbly and broken refrigerator. Not to mention the excessive banging and noise; the shower curtains not big enough to shower privately , the broken lights in the bathroom, food left overnight in the kitchen toaster oven. However, finding a dead mouse in the shower soap holder was the limit. I cut my stay short and sis not shower. This place requires a new facilities manager ASAP!

Cons: You get what you pay for! The place is a second story building in a very busy part of Thayer street. It's very noisy at night, esp on the weekend, with lots of motorcycles and cars revving their engines. Goes on past midnight. You will have trouble sleeping if you're light sleeper or don't fall asleep easily. The bathrooms don't have toilet paper in each stall! It's a giant roll on outside of the stall. Our roll was completely depleted. So you're on your own! The walls are paper thin; you will hear your neighbor very easily if he turns TV on loud, which ours did. The Pros: The location is very central to Brown. You won't find anything cheaper in the area. Lots of eateries and businesses within a block. The managers are nice enough on the phone and via email.

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

Inexpensive hostel stay for two nights ~$145. It’s located within short ~5min waking distance to some of the buildings of Brown university. It’s next to Ben and Jerry’s ice cream store on the upper level. The entrance is somewhat obscured and easily missed and there is no posted sign; you really had to follow the email instructions word by word, otherwise, you won’t be able to find it or get in. And I had seen it happened. It’s very very important to call (401) 863-2378 ) for check in instructions 1-2 days before arrival by providing your personal information and uploading your ID. It’s centrally located on a busy Main Street with lots of dinning options. It’s about ~20min Uber drive from the Rhode Island airport. For the price you pay, the quality of the place is acceptable with the bare minimum: clean bedrooms, shared restrooms, and kitchen; except that you need showering shampoos and bath soup. One bath towel is provided. There is even a sitting area with skylights. We visited at the end of August with superb weather so it would be interesting to see whether the AC unit functionality during hot or cold months. If you are sensitive to loud street noise, do not stay here as some of street facing rooms have poor sound proof and the hole on the window barrier did not help with the situation: loud crowds, car honking, blasting music last well past midnight on the weekends.

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.

This is not a conventional hostel, but rather a boarding house with no on-site staff. You'll receive an email prior to "check in" that gives you the door code and your room code and then you are on your own. One thing to be aware of is that the bathrooms are less secure and private than a typical hostel situation. There's no lockable stall for the showers, so anyone could pop in you. As well, the shower doors were clear glass and only one shower had a curtain to hide you from view while you were showering. I'm very accustomed to shared bathrooms in hostels and feel comfortable in them, but this lacked the security and privacy of a typical hostel bathroom. As well, since there's no on site staff, I don't know what you would do if something creepy/weird did happen? You can't beat the price, but I think there are some significant safety concerns around the shared bathrooms
