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.

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.

This is a shared communal space and so noisy inside and outside as expected. Communication regarding checking in was great. I gave it a lower rating because we reserved a room with two twin beds for two well built boys that would typically sleep well in two full beds, and instead we got one queen bed. Had I known I would have paid extra and booked a hotel.

The property was NOTHING like the pictures. It was dirty & beat-up. There is no air or fan and the windows are broken - if you can get it open you have to prop it with something so that it stays open. The common bathroom was not clean and several times it ran out of toilet paper which you cannot flush but have to throw in a bin! The streets are noisy all night long with people cruising with loud music. There were homeless individuals sleeping on the doorstep and even in the stairwell on a rainy day. I didn’t feel very safe even though I was two blocks from Brown University.

“So smoke meth” started my stay. Positives: the bedding and mattress seemed clean with minimal odor. There was a working TV. The location is close to the University and Starbucks is across the street. When I arrived the shared bathroom stall had the graffiti above, no hand soap and no rollers to hold toilet paper. The room consisted of old dorm beds, desk, chair and carpeting. It had two couches, both filthy. One had either blood or chocolate stain on it. The smoke alarm had no battery, only 1 of 3 windows opened, some device under the night stand seemed disabled. The curtains were thin, didn’t match and didn’t cover the windows so 5:40am the sun, and heat, streamed in. The pictures of bedrooms on website didn’t look anything like my room was set. The room smelled like gym socks and had no climate control. The locked thermostat in the main hall was set to 80 degrees even as the rooms were uncomfortably hot and when they came to put on the A/C days later, it was a cool night and room was cold. All the flooring was disgusting. The carpets everywhere were dirty. I don’t think shower rugs have ever been washed and there was blood on the privacy screen. There was hot water but pressure was so minimal, one woman washed her hair in the sink. There seems to be no one on site and guests piled up dirty dishes; the kitchen was gross. I never dared to open refrigerator. There was an electric kettle and minimal dishes. There was a homeless person sleeping in stepwell. Never again

Stayed here overnight and had room broken into and almost all items stolen while I slept. Police apprehended some perpetrators within days. They admitted to having the key code not only to the building to my room as well! How does that happen? Management was unable or unwilling to provide security camera footage despite a camera in the hallway right outside my room. To top it off i was denied a refund.

Pros: Closest lodging to Brown, lots of restaurants, very affordable, clean, huge common bathroom
Cons: rooms are run down, heating system is out of control (very hot and very cold), thin walls, no real lounge, a broken window in a room (they switched me to a different room)
If they invested $50k in new windows, HVAC and lighting, it would be a great place.

I would like to Express my gratitude to Staffs Linda, Sebastian, and the owner himself Sezar. I have been here for about 2 months, and I have been treated with a degree of gratitude, and respect that it's starting to feel like a family.
Anyone who wants this experience should book with this business, if not for the staff, the people, or the business than do so for it's location, surroundings, and friendly warm reception.

Very uncomfortable situation. Arrived at facility to find front door open(not secured). When we got to our room, we found the door open and the previous occupant still in room. Room was unkept. Text facility since there is no reception available, was told to wait for individual to leave and they would clean the room. This was not acceptable. The facility put us in a very awkward position and did not feel safe. We left the facility, requested a refund which they only agreed to refund 1 of 5 days.
FYI, we meet a few of the persons who placed good reviews on Expedia in the facility. Appear to be long term residents and or employees of place.

We liked the price, compared to other accommodations in Providence. The room was clean, but very bare bones. Sharing the bathroom was ok, but some of the guests just left their bathroom items always in the bathroom at the sinks counter. Traffic outside our window was quite loud on a Saturday night until 10:30pm or so. The room was sufficient for what my husband and I needed... a quick stay.
