The location is excellent - the roof deck overlooks the beach and Ocean Blvd. We felt very secure and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They have fun happy hour specials and a beautiful lounge (and roof deck) that you can relax in. They didn't change our bed sheets every day or sweep the bedroom and the bathroom had a funky smell although it seemed clean. They also plan barbeques and outtings to Nikki Beach or other parties sometimes which is great. We'd definitely stay again!

The Deco Walk Hostel is a great place right in the middle of everything. The staff is very friendly and helpful ( Victor and Andrea) they made my visit. I would like to be back one day. The roof top at Deco Walk is one of the best place to people watch in Ocean Drive without having to pay a fortune. Gracias Deco Walk for everything.

The one girl smoked in the room, when I informed two staff members on seperate occasions they merely shrugged it off. I felt a simple apology would be ok and an acknowledgement of my inconvenience. I also felt it is an American hostel and it would be more ideal if the TV programs were in English. There was a big group that stayed in the hostel, I feel th staff could not control them and there were seperate rules for them. I've stayed at the Hostel before and ws very dissapointed with this visit

It was great staying there. People could be more open-minded and not so much into party and just hanging out. They also could ask their guests to be a bit more silent. The guest kitchen was not really good equiped. Wifi is not working in room, but there are some other networks working in the room. I loved the breakfast, even if the lobby is always crowed by people eating and you have to manage with you cup and plate on the floor or the couch. Would stay there in Miami Beach again!

I did not have a pleasant stay. A 8 bed female dorm was my room for the night, and it was right over ocean avenue, so the noise of the bars/cars/sirens/rowdiness continued until at least 5. A group of 6 girls in the room caused a lot of trouble. 2 police officers were in the room talking to them in the early hours, no staff didn't stop them doing their investigation in the middle of the room. Blokes kept coming in and out of the dorm and the staff didn't do anything. Pathetic breakfast. Avoid.

Excellent location in Miami, just some steps from the beach and clubs. Alcohol is not permitted in the hostel.

I loved the hostel, the staff is great, etc. I would definitely go back. The one thing I would complain about is the $15 limo/club deal. We paid our money, then had to walk 6 blocks to the limo in the rain, then had to wait in line at the club (we were told the limo would pick us up and we would skip the line at the club). After waiting for more than an hour we were told we would not be let into the club. We did not get our money back from the hostel after we told them about what happened.

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