I recommend this place. Overall, it's just an average hostel. But, the people that work there are super cool. It makes the stay. Tobin

Sand on bed linings. Very worn bathroom equipment. Pretty unmotivated personal.

Good atmosphere. Pool and Jacuzzi makes a difference. Staff is not interested in help. Some strange persons that are not staying there circulate inside and look to be interested in rob tourists luggages and have fun for free.

Excellent atmosphere! All the people is very nice and the organize a lot of activities during the day and the night, at a good price. Also, the rest of the residents were open too. We have meet a lot of people during a weekend and we have enjoyed every second! Thank you very much!

They did not check me in correctly so they were moving me from one room to other during 4 days. The manager did not want to receive me personally to apologize. One of the rooms in which I stayed did not have the facilities that are said to every room to have. I did not have the bathroom in my room. Although they clean the apartments every day, there is a infection of bugs upstairs (room 12 at least). It was a deception,

We like the hostel. The people are very friendly and obliging. The rooms were ok. We were in a 8 bed room. You have to live out of your suit case. And you need a lock. The breakfast was good too. You get a bagel, one egg, jam, creme cheese and coffee. Sometimes we had toast. Every day you have special activities for example a pool party in a hotel. Most you pay 20$ and a party bus pick you up and you can go in to the club. The party live is in the near.

Very good option if you want to be in South Beach, at a low cost. Maybe its not sooooo cheap, but it worth its price.

A great place to stay in South Beach. Nice staff. It's my first time to stay in a dorm room and I woke up 3 am when my roommates came back, but it's a hostel after all. Doesn't worth the high price, but I guess it was during the tourist season. Can't complain....

The price for a hostel was way to high! $75. If it was less expensive we would have a better value. When we arrived our girl dorm was filled with guys leaving! It was very dirty. At the end it was clean. The beds have thin matrasses, you will feel pain when you wake up! Make sure you drink enough so you won't notice any of the negativities of a hostel : ). Cool Staff and breakfast is very good (egg, bagel, fruit, coffee, jam, creamcheese). ultrafest. Poor security everybody leaves the door open.

We rented an 8 bedroom mixed dorm. We were supposed to have our own bathroom, but it was under construction and we had to unknowingly share a bathroom with 13 people. They did construction at 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. everyday in our room. When I asked the front person for a refund, he said, "well. it's a hostel." Yeah. I paid to share a bathroom with 7 people, not 12. Rude. The people who work there are ridiculously stupid and terrible hosts.

Cheap motel that has been converted into a hostel by adding more beds into the rooms. Uses cheap mattresses, beds and sheets. Cleaning is hit an miss - trash all over the place & rooms are given a once-over. Wifi is fast, but the signal only works in the common areas. Frequently have more people staying in the rooms than are meant to be there & no checks on who is coming or going. Pool table basically doesn't work - completely warped. You really need to get drunk and stay that way to enjoy it.
