No Frills- Bring Your Own Toilet Paper

A no frills hostel which has converted what looks like second floor offices with track lighting into hostel rooms. There is nobody from the hostel on prem, only a ghost staff you can email or call. You are required to upload a copy of your drivers license before check in. There is a shared kitchen and a shared bathroom, the mens room didn’t have toilet paper for the whole time I was there (gross). I emailed the ghost staff to let them know about this but was ignored. There are also what seem to be migrant families living in some of the rooms with their belongings left in the hallway. Speaking of the hallway, there is a very strong air freshener like smell throughout the hallway and the rooms. Be aware if you are sensitive to things like this. Location is great, close to the Brown and RISD campuses. I’m glad I only had to stay in Providence for one night.

The common bathroom and showers didn’t have toilet paper. The shower curtain were broken and even if it wasn’t broken. It still didn’t cover the whole shower

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

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

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.

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.

It is room for homeless, poor condition, public bathroom, everything in highlight is shared by whole floor or even whole building. These rooms are supposed to be free, Expedia should not sell it.

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.
