Michie Hostel

This was by far the most terrible stay we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, everything was a disaster. After booking, we received a confusing message with unclear instructions on how to get in. When we asked for clarification, the only response we got was to “read carefully.” To enter the building, we had to install an external app that required Bluetooth access - something completely unnecessary. Once we finally managed to get inside, there was no light in the hallway, so we had to use our phone flashlights to find the room. In the room there was only one towel for two people, and when we asked about it, we were told that “one towel per room” is their policy - absolutely ridiculous. There was no bin in the room, it was cold inside (despite the listing claiming both heating and air conditioning were available), and there was loud beeping sound coming from a ceiling device, loud enough to make sleep impossible. We reported it, waited a long time for a response again, and were finally moved to another room which smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The entire second floor had an unpleasant odor, and both the bathrooms and kitchen were dirty and smelled bad. And the worst part: in the middle of the night, we woke up to scratching and biting noises. A mouse was inside our luggage! When we went to the kitchen, we saw multiple mice running across the tables and floor. At that point, we packed our things and left immediately in the middle of the night. We’ll be asking for a refund, but based on the slow and dismissive communication so far, we’re not optimistic. This place should not be listed for rent.

第三次入住，经济实惠的旅馆，很适合经济预算有限的旅行者。

The good: the room was very comfortable and the common room/kitchen area was great. It's affordable compared to the other options in Providence. The inconvenient: the hostel is not staffed, so it wasn't possible to store my luggage before my 4 PM reservation. The app to access the property didn't work for me, but there was fortunately an employee on site trimming bushes who was able to let me in. I didn't leave the hostel again because I wasn't sure I would be able to get back in. The bathroom I used doesn't lock and the shower stall has frosted-glass style plastic, so there isn't much privacy. The bad: the neighborhood is not great. I didn't feel unsafe during the day, but if I were a solo female I might have been uncomfortable about arriving or going out after dark. Also, as other commenters have mentioned, there's a club directly underneath the hostel. A long-term guest I asked said it's only been open for a couple of days over the last several months, but a worker who was refurbishing the property was playing salsa music until 6 PM and it sounded like the speaker was located directly under the vent to my room. If the club was open the noise would have been intolerable.

Vi ratos andando pelas instalações do Hostel. A vizinhança não é boa.
