Providence Hostel and Guesthouse

We stayed in the private room. The positives: the place was fairly clean and it is cheap-ish. Negatives: one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in - I could actually feel the wooden slats through the mattress and there was no headboard to the bed. There were simple things missing from the room like a mirror and a trash can (having come recently from a couple of different hostels in New England, this was standard in other places). The faucet in the bathroom needed repairing, there was no hand towel or way to dry your hands provided in the bathroom and the overall environment in common spaces was dark and depressing. There is no laundry in the house, and even if there is a coin laundromat in another building it would really make the hostel experience better and more up to the standards of other hostels to have a washer/dryer inside. There was a mysterious line of duct tape running along the ceiling of our room and it looked a lot more run-down than photos. If you’re looking for somewhere affordable in Providence I would just go with a budget hotel where there will be better service and amenities. I would not stay here again as I’ve had better sleeps while camping and sleeping on the ground.
