Well located and perfect for budget travel. I stayed here as a cheap convenient stop for the first night of my trip before heading further north. The surrounding area is filled with stuff that you'd want to be near and there's a 24 hour diner/deli a couple doors own from here. More

Dirty - old - badly smell - mean employees. It was a terrible experience. More

I made a reservation on the Hostelworld website on November 27, 2011 and the room was confirmed for The Tropics Hotel and Hostel yet when I showed up at midnight on January 4, 2012 there were no clean beds available. I flew to Miami from Chicago and did not have alternative plans since I thought a confirmation was sufficient for... More

Very well located but very average otherwise. No lockers in the room, they will charge you if you want to keep your valuables by the front desk. Decent swimming pool. Since it's a hostel and a hotel, it does not have a hostel feeling, with tables where travellers hang out and share experiences. Not noisy. More

Totally OK hotel. It´s cheap, and perfect if you travel on a budget but do not want to stay in a dorm with partying backpackers. The location is perfect! Right next to Miami Beach, just cross the street. Has a swimmingpool, but I do not think it is the cleanest one. If you´re lucky (depends on how you see it)... More

The dormitory was clean, sometimes a bit too cold due to the air conditioning - the hotel is not able to provide blankets for all dormitory beds, my suggestion is to ask... More

i've stayed in a 3 bed room with friends here before, and in the 4 bed dormitory when i've traveled alone. nothing fancy, definitely hostel style rooms. but totally adequate and amazingly cheap. especially the dorm option. great mix of international travelers of all ages, and not just a bunch of rowdy drunk backpackers. there is a kitchen and outdoor...

the tropics is a great value right where you need to be in south beach. Now the airport bus drops you off one block away for $2.35. The beach is across the street and there are plenty of places to eat or shop and cook in their outdoor kitchen. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Bring a towel and a... More

I read of this hotl in the Lonely Planet. As it is budget, had not too much expectations. BUT, it is worst. The lady at the reception was not helpful at all when I phoned to check the avaiability and prices. The rooms are big but run down. The bathrooms are dirty. Wifi only in the lobby. You pay 90... More
