Very quaint and original to early 1900’s Inns.
The look was nostalgic and views were beautiful from a wrap-around front porch with plenty of seating. Breakfast time could be extended slightly and more variety of snacks. It could use mirrors in the room and more comfortable mattress. Overall we enjoyed the stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our needs.

It was a cozy small inn, staff was super friendly! Slightly annoying the windows wouldn’t stay up with no air conditioning (some windows did have wooden props to hold them up but not all) overall I was able to book a room on the 4th of July for the day of and it was a nice quiet place and we could see fireworks right outside our window.

Narragansett Inn was very charming, comfortable and clean! It is in a beautiful location near the harbor, in a quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend.

Really don’t know where to start, but shame on me maybe for not reading the amenities and overall info more carefully. 1 or 2 shared toilets with the entire floor, and 1 shared shower. Whole place is very dated. How it has a 7.2 rating is perplexing. No A/C, walls and ceiling are beyond paper thin, beds just uncomfortable, staff just seems indifferent overall.

My wife and I travel a lot and are generally not picky. But this was disappointing. As my wife told the front desk employee, we paid a luxury price for a youth hostel experience. The walls are paper thin (thanks, dude coughing two feet away from our head across the wall all night), the entire house is super noisy (stairs, doors, etc.), the quiet hours are not enforced (so many loud drunk people coming in at 1-2 am), the bathroom on the 2nd floor was shared by 4-5 rooms and was nasty -- the shower especially, my wife had no hot water for her shower in the early evening (!!), the room was very small and the bed surely not a queen as advertised, no AC, and just a rundown joint in general. To top it off, when I reported that the ONLY outlet in the room didn’t work, she was like, oh, that always happens, here I can fix it. And came up, pulled the bed from the wall, and wiggled the adapter until the lights came on. I was like: uh, I’m an electrician, and that is a super fire hazard! She shrugged, but I insisted she get an extension cord so we could plug in to a safe outlet. I can't believe we paid over $300 per night for this hole. The only positives are: location and access to other New Harbor establishments; and the $15 buffet you have access to 1.5 miles away at the 1661 Inn (which, by the way, feels much more like a "real" hotel -- actually a nice place to stay and eat). I’d look elsewhere unless you like youth hostels and fire hazards.

Great location, the staff was great, overall very convenient and accommodating. The rooms are very basic but exactly what you need. Will definitely be staying here again!

Based on some of the other reviews of this property, I would say if you're not familiar with old homes or you're a "fault finder" by nature, then this probably isn't the hotel for you. However, if you're a glass-half-full kind of person, then I think for the price, this is one of the best values on the island. Yes, most rooms have to share a bathroom but we never once encountered a delay in our schedule because of having to wait, etc. - it simply didn't happen. And yes, the bathrooms are original with some tile repair that wasn't the best in the world, but the water flows, the soaps and shampoos smell wonderful, and if you look at the news - it's light years better off than the people in Jackson Mississippi's water supply right now. The perfect spot in the early afternoon or late evening is on the expansive front porch, where there is always a great view and a nice breeze. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. To sum up this review, if you want AC and perfection, pay $1,000 a night and stay elsewhere. If you want the very best you can buy for your dollar and can pretend you're living at the turn of the 20th century, then I think you'll be pleased with choice. We survived - and thrived - for a whole week here.

The outside seating area is beautiful and you can hear the live music at night and sit by the water to listen.

Just very old and over priced , needs to be updated

The staff and view at this property are absolutely wonderful. The property is old but clean. We found it charming. The muffins and coffee in the morning are delicious and there are a couple of places to get a bite to eat next door. It is an easy mile walk into the town. We will stay here again. Please remember there is no air-conditioning but the screened window opens and they provided a fan. The view in beautiful. The bathroom was shared with others on the floor and was clean with fresh towels.

Like: fabulous water view, great rocking chairs on veranda, staff were happy and helpful, fluffy towels, and true sense of a vacation spot from days gone by.
Less preferred: definitely "charming" translate needs some upgrades..old furnishings could berepainted or replaced. Lack of mirrors. Better lit walkways in back of bldg. All in all I would happilyreturn

Their website says that they provide air conditioning.When we brought that to the staff's attention, they basically shrugged and said that's not the case.
We stayed in two different rooms during our stay, and both bathrooms had mold in them. The morning that we woke up in the first room, we were also welcomed by many beetles in the bathroom that joined us for our morning routine.
For an inn whose main clientele visits during the sweltering summer months, the only thing that they really provide are one ineffective fan per room and some decent tasting ice water in the lobby. Although this is one of the cheaper hotels in the area, they still charge way too much to be dealing with these kinds of problems.

Absolutely loved it . We have been on the Block many times, but, never to Old Harbor . Loved the people at the hotel and the ambiance. Rooms were what I expected for a 100 + year old hotel. We always book with hotels owned or managed by the 1661 house . I read reviews that were not accurate in any way before I booked . several claimed only one outlet to a room . ( we had 3) . One claimed rotten decking .( not true ) . Although you are a mile and a half from New Shorman ( the ferry landing ) . There is a great bar by the docks about 50 yards from the hotel ,and Dead Eye Dicks Restaurant is one of the best on the island and it is only about 75 yards away . Skippers does breakfast , and it is right next to Dead Eye's . If you must get into town the taxi is a cheap 14 dollars and very efficient . Your stay entitles you to brunch at 1661 running from 8 to 10 A,M. Possiblty the best breakfast buffet you will ever have , 15 dollars per poerson if staying at the Narragansett. The only drawback is the shower water was cool . Many rooms have shared bathrooms . Never found it to be a problem at any time . Going back soon as possible

If your looking for a low budget place to stay on Block Island be prepared for a European hostel experience. Great location . The management should stay there themselves for a night in a shared bathroom accommodation and they’ll know why I wrote this review.
The staff accommodated where they could .
The positive , the hotel is filled with history with a 1920’s feel. An excellent location with breathtaking sunsets .

I just needed a cheap place to stay. When I travel/vacation, I just need a clean place to sleep and this met the bill. It was one of the smallest rooms I have ever stayed in but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. I am fine with sharing facilities, I always wake early so I am not competing for bathroom space. The location was stunning. If it was closer to the ferry, the price would have been doubled.

The location was nice, but that was all. We couldn’t take showers they had just chlorinated the water- gave us coupons for breakfast but after a day at the beach we neeeded showers!! The rust in the bathroom sink was awful. My mistake, I didn’t realize it had no tv.

The staff were very nice and helpful except for at around 8 am they began to play music fairly loudly while cleaning, waking me and my girlfriend up. The rooms for the most part leave a lot to be desired. No real modern amenities. Cracks in the walls and the bedside tables. I noticed doors the for some of the other rooms even had huge gaps in the doors.

Photos of room were misleading. Property has not been updated in decades. Old tub, broken tiles, broken soap dish, leaking sink, piles of dirty towels on floor, no lamps in room, no closet, hold windows up with sticks. Great location but facilities need an overhaul. Staff was very nice though.

There was a lot of damage done to the property. It was not clean. Fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and nobody came to turn it off.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was excellent and courteous. Walls a little thin, but that is the standard for historic properties. Great great sunset views, plenty of seating on the lawn to see the bay and nature's vistas. Very nice comfortable rockers on the front porch to watch all the activity of new harbor.

Man it’s just so out of date. A room w one outlet and a dresser. No tv, fridge, closet, AC. Shower never got warm, never mind hot. It’s fine. It was clean. It served its purpose but for nearly $400/ night would not recommend. If you book early you can do much better for a similar price point.

Just what they advertised, no tv or ac of Wi-Fi but awesome view of New Harbor. Old building but room was clean and staff was friendly.

The property itself is a diamond in the rough. Needs a complete overhaul. The porch had holes in it and was roped off to prevent injury. Looks like the place hasn’t been updated in years. Shared bathrooms are doable but be prepared for the noisy doors from guests making trips to the restroom at all hours. Walls are paper thin. Biggest issue I had was the lack of quiet. I will say if you’re a heavy sleeper maybe not an issue for you. Rooms were clean and location was picturesque.
