ohhhh so lovely!!!! the location is just perfect perfect perfect. ThThere is no housekeeping in the rooms though, a bit of sweeping and cleaning the bathroom would have been nice. The people who work at reception are angels of patience, I seldom met such sweet people!!!

Some of the staff is so unfriendly that it was not a joy to stay here. I will never ever go to this hostel again and would advise anybody to not stay there. One of our members in the group didn't get her key deposit back, because one of the staff members "lost" the paperwork. you don't wanna go here, trust me.

We have a professional team of staffs, and if we do not give a key deposit back, is because the guest lost the key not because we lost a file.

A really awesome location for the price, the beds are comfortable, and the rooftop has an awesome view, but the place could do with a better clean, and friendlier staff who seemed to always be grumpy except for the manager..

It is close to the night life and you don't need to walk too much to go to interesting places. Other good thing is that they help you to plan your trip and offers some tours. The guys in the front desktop are friendly and helpful! On the other hand, The breakfast could be better. I've been in European Hostels and you get a better bkfst for the same money. There are only 2 PC to surf by internet and 1 of them had troubles with connection. The third floor is missused, and could be well improved.

these is the first time that we hear something like this, and is also surprising to read that our hostel is dirty and crappie when you stay here for 5 night, and did not complain at all when you were here.

Very nice hostel with friendly staff. A 100 yards from the beach and in the middle of one of the most fun streets of South beach!

I LOVED staying here. My roommates were amazing (all cute european boys) and everyone was super friendly. The rooms were clean, relatively spacious. And obviously there is no better location than being right across the street from the beach, and right next to some great clubs. Deco Walk made my 48 hours in South Beach amazing.

The location was great right by the beach. It was a party people hostel which doesn't fit to me.

Very nice hostel, well located, amazing roof terrace. However the room and the bathroom could have been cleaner.

Great mix of party and relaxing in this hostel, making it suitable for most people. Plus it is a 30 second walk to the beach which is a huge plus!

Could not ask for a better location! Right in front of the ocean. The inside of the building is BEAUTIFUL! Its not a huge hostel which really makes it enjoyable. Staff were so helpful and friendly. There is a great rooftop patio with a great view. Really clean. The breakfast is very basic but hey, its free! I will definitely be back here again! One of my favorite Hostels!

  • The facilities were great, especially for the price, however, the friendliness of the staff is severely lacking. They don't say ...
