Room had a window on top of entry door that wasn't covered. So you'd effectively get all the light from the corridor into the room. Showers and toilet on the second floor are avoidable. The ones on the top floor are easier to manage. Location is not the best but it has great proximity to the city centre and airport. It's cheap for a reason.

Property completely misrepresented on the pictures provided We arrived late night, and place just scary looks completely abandoned, and looks like in the horror movie. We just opened entrance door, and left even not getting into the room itself. No light inside. Smells very strange. We had to find another hotel in the middle of the night. I called Expedia next morning asking for the full refund. Request was rejected by property owner Nice work Expedia Thanks

Yes, room was clean including the air quality. I am highly sensitive to mold and allergies. Was NOT an issue what so ever. Please keep in mind that this place is a living place of historic significance. The original training center for fireman since 1856!!!. Please dont judge it until you get inside. I love this place; especially because I feel SAFE here. The owner is an amazing and genuine person that is easy to communicate with and does his best to accommodate within his ability. Area is convenient. Has bus lines right out front. Access to food and convenient store is within a very short walk. . I rebooked immediately solely based on not once feeling uncomfortable. Thanks guys!! Ill stay as long as you'll allow until my new job starts in boston. I am a nurse that has been hired in the dermatology department of brigham and womens.. Ill always keep your place high on y list to stay whenever im in the area

Literally impossible to get into the building. No staff onsite. Sketchy behavior, musty, falling apart. Staying at a motel6 in LA was literally a better experience. Didn’t even end up being able to actually stay the night there becuase when we came back from dinner the front door to get in the building wouldn’t unlock. On top of that the police were outside when we got back. Ended up staying somewhere else, came back in the morning to a book propping open the door so luckily we where able to retrieve our belongings, which seemed like ether a total pain or close to impossible at that point. Oh also the staff that is available is only on the phone and have little to no customer service skills. When I told them that there where police outside and we couldn’t get it they told me that they weren’t notified of any security alerts. Lol just don’t stay here

No staff on site, phone number online is incorrect. The room itself was clean, but the AC unit in the window was broken, and cold air got in all night. There are plenty of shops nearby. Location is a little sketchy, but is okay.

Our one night stay at Michie Hostel was nice. There was some confusion about which unit in the building we had rented. When it became apparent that we required more beds, the manager was very accommodating. I would definitely consider staying there again.

Beware of this place. It’s filthy, chaotic, and has a revolving door of addicts and sex workers wandering in and out at all hours. Some woman was getting it on with multiple Johns right above me, and I have the recording to prove it. You truly get exactly what you pay for and nothing more. I booked the main-floor room with a private bathroom, which sounded great in theory. In reality, the walls were so thin I could hear every conversation in the hallway, every door slam, and even noise from outside the building. It was like trying to sleep inside a subway station. To make matters worse, it was the middle of winter, and the room was freezing because the staff forgot to turn the heat on for my unit. The bathroom didn’t help matters: the shower was dirty, and the toilet was even worse. It was so bad I debated whether sitting on it required a tetanus shot. No one could fix the heating issue, and I got sick of chatting with Karteeni from Indonesia, so I grabbed my belongings in the middle of the night and got the hell out of Dodge. The only thing this hostel delivered successfully was my refund. Would I recommend this place? Perhaps to an ICE agent.

The room was boiling hot, the sheets and entirety of the room were dirty, the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. I came back to the building around 10:30 at night and had gotten locked out of the building and with no proper explanation I was told that I couldn’t come back in to at least get my things until check out time in the morning. When I called, the staff member on the phone had accused me of sneaking people in when I was barely ever even in the room, I only used it to store my things and sleep. Since I accidentally didn’t register the one person I was staying with, they requested I register them after checking in by sending their information via email. Even though I did this, they lied about receiving it, and used it as an excuse to take my money. After accusing me of sneaking a group of people in without stating any evidence, let alone showing us, they told us that we were banned and wouldn’t receive a refund WHILE keeping our belongings hostage. We had to get the police involved due to the staff’s incompetence so we could get our things. Besides that really weird chain of events this place is absolutely disgusting. The walls are paper thin and showers and kitchen were dirty. To top it all off the area around the place as well was extremely filthy.

This is by far the worst place I have ever been at across Europe and the US. Please do yourself a favor and book literally anything else. Expedia was also not the best at advertising the place online (photos do not match!) or providing support after the check in. The room is extremely dirty and smells very bad. Same with the common area and the shared bathroom weren’t cleaned probably in years. Area in unsafe and the front door of the apartment is open 24/7. You can hear other guests from your own room.
