I stayed in a 8 bed female dorm for three nights and every thing went better than expected. First, the hostel itself is breathe-taking. The backyard is so amazingly beautiful :) I stayed in Saturday night and decided to have drinks at the Broken Shaker which is located on the property, and I swear to you, Escobar's Punch was the...

There is a bus stop just outside the hostel so transport wasn't an issue. Towels were provided and changed daily so it was an added bonus. Room was clean and breakfast was provided - simple but adequate with fruits and pastries. However, service from front desk could be improved, checking in was extremely slow. 4 of us shared a quad...

I stayed four nights here, 3 nights in a room on my own and one night in the dormitory. I didn't pay the cheapest rate ever but that is mostly probably as I booked at the last minute. The single room was spacious, comfortable bed, shower fine and no issues really at all. The dormitory was fine as well. There... More

I stayed at Freehand with my boyfriend and we got the King Bed private room. The place is really cool, clean, has great cocktails, so it’s definitely worth checking out; however the staff there is awful. To be more specific, the front desk girls. Out of the 3 we dealt with, 2 were terrible, rude and unfriendly. Seems like they... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights instead of the planned 3 nights. From the moment of check in we experienced a nice hostel with a good private room. The garden and pool we nice. The garden a good place to relax and have a drink. The room was clean and specious enough. PROBLEM: Our biggest problem was with... More

I stayed for 3 nights. Very nice and quiet but close to the action if that's what you want. It's about 15 minutes walking to 15th street and Collins Ave. where the action is. My only problem was that on my first night someone took my bottom bunk bed- after I put my things there. The girl at front desk... More

The front desk staff were very nice. I stayed in a shared room and it was surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom left a little to be desired and there were a ton of other people's products all over the place. The drinks by the pool were delicious but just as high priced as other places in Miami. The courtyard and pool... More

Very good value. Is more like a hotel than a hostel. Lovely pool area. Nice music. Nice atmosphere. Comfy big beds in dorms. Clean. Friendly helpful staff. Close to quieter end of beach, about 2 minutes walk. Can't fault it, except maybe bring some earplugs if you have trouble sleeping when there is noise, just because you can hear the... More

My friends and I really enjoyed this affordable, low maintenance (in a good way!), perfectly adorned hostel for our trip to Miami. I would certainly come back with a bachelorette party or friends. The pool area and outdoor patio is relaxing, in fact, the whole property seems to be on sedatives compared to the rest of the city which is... More

Me and 3 other friends shared a private room. 2 bunk beds. The place is well kept, staff are very helpful and the price very reasonable (even more so, if you book extra days whilst you are there as we did!). It's situated really well. Close to amenities and close to both South Beach and Washington Avenue, which are probably... More
