Crows Nest was right in Bohens wharf which made it very walkable and easy to get around. Upon arrival, we had some miscommunication with keys/ room assignments. However, that was fix very fast and the staff was very pleasant and helpful! Over all this is a very nice place to stay for a short trip in Newport (2-3 nights).
This was the perfect location for a trip to Newport. The place was clean and cozy. The shared bathroom was also clean.Tara was fantastic & got back to us in an hour. Would definitely recommend!

Nice stay in a great location.
The crows nest in in a 5 star location and ight in the heart of downtown Newport. You could not ask for a better location. The room was clean and comfortable, but I was unaware of the shared bathroom facilities. I was a solo traveler so it wasn’t a big deal to me but I would have planned to bring my own shampoo (none provided) for the showers. They were clean but dated. The communication with the manager was prompt and efficient. Overall a nice stay and would stay again if I was traveling solo.

Best location!
This is a great little place to stay in Newport! The room was adequate and comfortable and the bathroom down the hall was decent. Wish there were blackout blinds/curtains in the room as the wharf lights made it very bright at night. The best thing about this property is the location and the kindness of Tara the manager. We would definitely stay here again!

Unbeatable location. Room with bare bones necessities to spend the night. Shared bathroom and shower with several other rooms but can’t beat the price if you’re looking for a decent bed in central Newport.

Just to note this isn't a quaint bed and breakfast like you may expect. It is a room with shared bathrooms down the hall! Something we weren't expecting, but great location.

I saw reviews saying there was no AC. We had no issues. In fact our room was freezing, LOL. We loved it! We wanted a place just to stay the night, we knew we wouldn’t be in the hotel for very long. I was so impressed by the location! It is so close to everything. I had never been to Rhode Island before, but booked a bunch of dinners that were recommended 2 months ago. We were right next to all of them! I mean literally nextdoor neighbors to one of the restaurants and within 5 min walk to all others. Obviously communal bathrooms but did not bother us much as we were barely in the hotel, and never had to share the bathrooms when we did use them. Building is slightly run down, but it’s historical! I completely expected it to look like that. As far as I could tell, sheets were cleaned, towels were clean. Everything looked totally fine in my opinion.

Shhh…Don’t tell anyone
It’s the best value in Newport. Okay, there’s no TV, no refrigerator & parking can be problematic. (Mary St lot is $30 overnight) So did you go to Newport to sit in your room? Walk out your door & be in the center of EVERYTHING! Can’t wait to return.

Building smell could be fresher. Smelt like fish or dead rodent in hallways entryway bathroom and room. Smoke detector going off at 6AM and was not replaced during stay.
Curtains on windows should be heavier to block out light or add blinds in addition.

I did not expect luxury, but the lack of a mirror in the room, only a single towel per person (no washcloth) and no TV - but the bathrooms - I guess I did not understand that this was a hostel.....

As long as you are aware of the type of property it is, it’s great! I am not too far removed from college, so sharing a hall bathroom was no problem for me. I was able to figure out parking pretty easily. It was a lovely place to stay, and quite literally in the center of all the downtown action! I had an issue with temperature control, but the admin were very quick to respond and helped me find a solution. Make sure you figure out a parking plan, and bring ear plugs or white noise, you may have a next door neighbor with sleep apnea not yet on a cpap, and the walls are somewhat thin (as expected in an early 20th century building). Overall, great place to stay if you’re willing to live boarding-house style
The history of the property was interesting. The location is great for walking/ Parking is expensive and few options. $45 to park nearby overnight!

Convenient to a lot, easy walking. Easy in/out. Clean but old and worn. Very bare bones accommodations- got one bath towel each, not even a face cloth. No water cup, no coffee. Window air conditioner (didn’t need to use) poorly sealed, so room was very noisy from area live music, etc and wind blowing all night. A LOT of money spent for what we got!

The publication and the place are not the same, they are very small rooms, not very clean, where you share a bathroom with the other 9 rooms and which are not cleaned during your stay. There is no one to talk to, communication via text message took more than 12 hours in my case. And the answer was: I don't know, I'm sorry.

This was easily the worst place I’ve stayed at in the last decade. The location was perfect for our trip, but was completely tarnished by the filthy bathroom and zero air conditioning or air for any person to survive a night in the summer. The communal bathroom was in disarray and looked as if it had never been cleaned, further evidenced by the lack of toilet paper or soap in one of the bathrooms. To combat the lack of filtered air and the never ending war with the stale air of an attic, the only option to try and be able to breathe at night was to open the windows, which somehow did not pick up on the slightest breeze despite being portside. Because of the open windows and being located next to the busy wharf, trying to sleep was a lose-lose battle of fighting against the drunken sounds of the wharf or the archaic and warm stale air of the room. Horrific experience
