2/10 Poor

The room is spacious, but its location is terrible. It’s on Thayer Street, where crowds of young people party loudly, screaming and yelling late into the night. The noise lasted till early mornings, making it impossible to sleep.
Jian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet and close to everything in town, walking distance
Lynda, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great locatin and price but do not expect anything else.
Timur, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for the price and if your staying by yourself and don’t mind sharing a bathroom.
Quincy, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

This is the best place closing to the university, this is not convenient using bathroom.
Jian, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Kitchen- food left in microwave, and on table. Little mouse ran away when light burned on. I'm looking for another place.
Jerry, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t sleep here on a Saturday. The noise goes on until 1am right outside your window. Horrible sleep
Claudia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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!
Noelina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Robyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful value for money - clean, great location, good communication from staff.
Artemiza, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for the price with a well equipped, clean communal kitchen and bathroom . Our room was very comfortable.
Diana, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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

Very comfortable, quiet, clean and well located. Great stay for any number of nights.

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
Maria, 1-night trip

I stayed at Michies on Thayer

Good atmosphere, good staff and friendly other stayers, and very well kept. I will definitely stay here again

great spot
Francis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Great Location!! Right next to Brown
Doris, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

Amazing location! It is right next to Brown University and RISD. Their staff is very friendly, I'd would highly recomend them.

Convenient spot for those wanting to be around students, near the Brown campus. Self service check in / out - small kitchen and seating area.
