Customer Reviews
***A MAN ENTERED MY ROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THE PROPERTY DID NOTHING TO HELP*** My stay here was over a year ago now but I didn't review because honestly this stay was quite traumatic. This place is not staffed and there is no one to assist you - all you have is a number. When I first arrived I entered the place with a code I was sent. It is obvious that the property does not change its code because at around 3am a man unlocked the door to my room. Luckily he saw I was sleeping and immediately left - but obviously a terrifying thing to happen as a solo female traveller. I called booking.com who I had booked with and they helped me file an official complaint but the property themselves wouldnt comply - denied my request to refund any of stay, not even the following night becaus
I should have read the reviews before booking this. I arrived on 10/21 and there was no sign outside and no street number. I found a doorway that looked possible, and rang the buzzer but no answer. Fortunately, a young man came up the steps from the sidewalk and said that in order to get in I should have gotten an email with instructions, which I had not received. He let me in with him, and there was a dismal flight of stairs. There was, however, no staff at all on the premises. He gave me a phone number, and I was able to speak with a man who said I had to have the instructions in the email. He tried sending me emails and texts, and finally I was able to get the text. He did assign me a room and give me the passcodes to the room door and the downstairs entry door. When I checked the room,
The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. And there’s a public kitchen where you can store your food and drinks. Great location for students and visitors if you’re going to Brown or RISD. By the way, Stefano helped me with the booking process and daily arrangements. If you have any questions, just text or call them directly.
everything is stained (headboard, floors, tables, curtains, walls), there were chip crumbs on the couch in our room so clearly wasn’t cleaned whatsoever, the women’s bathroom was out of toilet paper for a whole day (and the toilet paper is outside of the stalls??), trash on the hallway and kitchen floors, and no one around to enforce rules when drunk kids are screaming in their room at 3am. one of the worst places i’ve ever stayed, and i’ve stayed in some pretty cheap hostels before.
Stephen has been incredibly helpful throughout our stay at the Michie House. He is consistently kind, responsive, and always willing to assist—answering our calls promptly at any hour, day or night. The location of Michie House is excellent, and our experience was made even better thanks to Stephen’s exceptional support and genuine kindness. We are truly grateful for everything he has done.
