Very affordable, not the nicest but more than good enough for the price. Stefano (Michie team member) was very helpful and prompt whenever I reached out. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for affordable stay.
I liked how easy it was and the privacy and how its like a dorm and you can't beat the price and the owners worked with me. I was going to stay another night if I could
I appreciated the staff, I was able to check in early. The room was great. It was clean and very interesting. Location was fantastic, minutes from downtown. The people that stay there were respectful and polite. The place is quite and comfortable.
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
The worst property I’ve ever stayed at, can’t believe it’s on Expedia. There is no reception, ur key is an app online which I had to wait an hour outside the place to get when checking in as no one was responding and this key also disabled during my stay meaning I couldn’t get back in and had to wait a further 3 hours for a response to make it work.
No blackout curtains meaning ur room is fully bright by 5/6 am, I was right next to the main door which slammed all night too including people knocking as their online key wouldn’t work. There was also a line of drugs in bathroom which hadn’t been cleaned and blood stains on my pillow we just had to deal with as the person I was emailing didn’t seem to care about. Location is in a dodgy area as well although quite close to city, it is defo not worth saving money compared to properties around imo.

Want my money back charged me added kids for cost then would let us in
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.
I love the property! The area wasn't great, but the inside was really unique and eclectic. The furnishings are simple. For a no-fuss stay, definitely come here. I felt very safe even though the area had graffiti.
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
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.
I wouldn't reccomend staying here as a female solo traveler or couple. Although most things are fairly similar to the pictures, it is true that you need to read reviews carefully and know what to look for. There were strange sounds coming from some of the rooms that were somewhat concerning. The lock on the door to our room was not secure. The bathrooms were very well out of shape and provided little to zero privacy. If you plan to shower, bring a bathing suit as there is no curtain with a see-through glass door the second you walk into the bathroom.
The kitchen was not well maintained, and looked as though it had not been cleaned in a long time. The cherry on top of the experience was that although there were no bedbugs, it was apperant the sheets had not been changed since the last guests with hair and old skin in the bed. I have to say that my partner and I arrived late in the night, and left as early as we could.
Spend the extra $30 to pay for safety and clealiness.
