Approximate travel time between Newport and New York City is 3 hours; Newport and Boston is 1½ hours; Newport and Cape Cod is 2½ hours.

    Walking directions to 16 Howard Street from Newport Transportation & Visitor Information Center:
    The Transportation & Visitor Information Center where you will arrive if coming by bus is on America's Cup Avenue. Keeping the water on your right walk about 1/8 mile to where America's Cup feeds into Memorial Drive. Thames St. will be on the right. Take a right on Thames St. Continue straight for about 8 blocks. When you see a sign on a brick wall on your right that says "Vincent's On the Pier" you have reached Howard St. Take a left. (Howard St. is a one way street going towards the waterfront. If driving you will need to take the next left on Pope St., then left on Spring St., then a left on Howard) 16 Howard St. is the large white house with black shutters - third house on the left.

    By Bus to Newport: Bonanza Bus lines services Newport. From Boston take a bus from Bonanza Bus Lines (Peter Pan or Bonanza) from South Station to either Providence or Newport. If to Providence, then change to a Rhode Island Transit Authority (RIPTA) bus (this is the cheapest way to travel on public transportaton between Newport and Boston). From any other location take a bus to Providence then take a Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) bus to Newport. Follow walking directions above.

    By car to Newport: From points north - 95S, exit 4S (south of Providence), to 138E to Newport. From Cape cod - 6W to 195W, to 24S, to 138E to Newport. From points west - 95N to 4S (just before Providence), to 138E to Newport.

    By Train, then bus to Newport: Take AMTRAK train to Providence. Change to Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) bus for Newport.

    By air to Providence: The T.F. Green airport outside of Providence, RI, is the closest airport to Newport. The best way to get to the William Gyles Guesthouse from the airport is by a minivan shuttle service run by Cozy Cab. Cost from airport to Newport is $20 one way. For reservation call 1-800-846-1502 if out of the area or 401-846-2500 if in Rhode Island. Ask them to drop you off at the William Gyles Guesthouse in Newport. The people from Cozy Cab may want to drop you off at a hotel near the hostel rather than at the hostel. If so, have them drop you off at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Newport. From there you can get to the hostel by catching a local cab ($4) or by walking 15 minutes along the waterfront (beautiful walk!). This scenario could happen because you are taking an airport "shuttle" which costs $20, not a private taxi, which costs $75. If they drop you off at the hostel when taking the shuttle, thank them profusely because they went out of their way for you and gave you special treatment.

    Property Description

    The Newly Renovated Hotel 17 is a chic budget hotel conveniently located in Downtown New York near the East Village, Gramercy Park, Greenwich Village, and Washington Square Park.

    A few years ago Woody Allen filmed his movie Manhattan Murder Mystery at Hotel 17. Madonna has stayed here, as well as many other celebrity artists, models, and actresses.

    Accommodations in our safe and friendly hotel are perfect for tourists, students, and international travelers on a budget.

    East Village:The East Village is perhaps the 'Social Mecca' of New York City. Much different than Greenwich Village, the East Village offers a more grungy, rock and roll type atmosphere.

    The East Village is home to many major acts of the past such as The Ramones, Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground, as well as many punk bands that still continue to play on. The Fillmore may not be alive anymore, but there are a lot of great clubs such as Coney Island High, CBGB'S, and Irving Plaza. (which is only 3 blocks from Hotel 17)

    NOTE: THE RATE DOES NOT INCLUDE CITY/STATE TAX
    TAX RATE $13.63% PLUS $2 OCC TAX WILL
    APPLY TO THE RATE UPON CHECK IN.

    Rafael from Spain stayed here on 07th August 2007
    I wish you cleaned the room everyday instead of waiting till the last day. Also, some desk and chairs would be nice. Our room was smelly too. Otherwise, everything was ok.    


    msertac837343 from USA stayed here on 07th August 2007
    It was the worst experience I have ever had!!! The linens and the pillow cases were so dirty. There were roaches in the room, and the staff were so rude. Basically everything was horrible. Even if you have to stay there check the room before you make the payment. M-    


    svfalkenhayn1802 from Germany stayed here on 05th August 2007
    i just can give a warning to evereybody, who wants to go to this hostel. It is not clean, there is no aircondition in every room, and if there are problems, you can not even get the manager, he is always "out"..., this hostal is not worth the money you pay, and if you want to leave earlier, you don`t even get your money back!    


    Brent from Canada stayed here on 05th August 2007
    The exterior of the building looks great. the inside is so-so. its really close to the north end of central park in a good neighbourhood. having a fridge in the room was a major plus    


    steelhorsenyc5030 from Russia stayed here on 02nd August 2007
    They had no change?! my total was $75, i had 4 $20 bills, he could barely mae change, in fact he said he couldnt... until i did not let them get away with that... the room was tinyy, which is ok, but the tv barely worked. they need to be a bit more clear on the conditions.    


    hannekathrin1114 from Germany stayed here on 29th July 2007
    doors won't shut, you have to lock them at all times; only one key for a 4-bed room; bunkbeds are not safe at all and very noisy    


    georgegilbert51195 from USA stayed here on 29th July 2007
    The place is serviceable, but the website is misleading. Probably slightly overpriced for what you get.    


    stefaniebrill9894 from Germany stayed here on 12th July 2007
    no airconditioning in the rooms broken locks window not lockable wholes in the wall dirty floor the most horrible room i´ve ever seen too expensive for that kind of staff only payment per cash - no creditcard cash-maschine in hostel give only 100 dollar per time and charged 4 dollar. for 300 dollar we have to pay 12 dollar plus creditcard charges.
