Freehand Miami Reviews

I love the artistic style and the hostel itself. The thing I didn't like is that some of the staff is a bit lost and some other is a bit rude. Not good that it is like in middle beach, so it's far from the best part (south beach) if you are not by car or bicycle. Amazing that they have two bathrooms for room. Awesome the yard with the pool, chilling area and bar. Awesome the breakfast

First 5 nights I slept in room 312. Very nice and neat, espacially beds were awesome. Only disturbance came from traffic noise in the morning. Very good price-quality-rate. Last two nights I slept with my girlfriend in room 216. Room was very nice ond comfortble, especially bed was way beyond awesome. But I have to say, that I was very disappointed by the noise from backyard, stairway and hall, which was compeletely intolerable. The room price didn't correlate with sleeping quality at all.

So much character. Can't wait for my next visit.

Bring a lock with you for the lockers, there is a subway just one block away and a supermarket so you can buy the things you need, they have rent service for beach towels, the music is on until 2 and that's reasonable, the bar is cool I heard it has history and the bartenders are great, miami people come there to have a drink so that gives you the opportunity to meet people of the place.

Less a hostel than an island crowded with refugees (including people with kids & the middle aged cruise ship crowd) crammed together by the surrounding barrier of the high price of sleeping in M Beach. Like a factory (for printing money for the owners) you will line up & wait for everything (reception, breakfast). If your roomys all go to sleep at 8pm, there's no communal space that's not a darkened party area. Staff are disinterested / rude, it's really expensive & poor value - the norm in MB!

Not the cheapest but a nice place to stay. However, it's not really a hostel, rather a hotel with shared bedrooms, not the usual backpacking crowd but many hipsters/people on regular vacation. I loved the garden; it sucked though being asked by an unfriendly waitress to purchase a §13 drink to stay there at night. Plumming could be improved. Finally, the lobby got crowded with bar guests on several occasions so it was almost impossible to sleep in the prviate rooms on level 1 due to noise.

Excellent hostel, great experience.

Amazing hipster hostel, cool to hang out in cosy backyard! Only bad thing is that they do not have a kitchen or laundry facilities.

I have travelled a lot and stayed in many hostels but Freehand is the first hostel that made me want to write a review. They represent in my mind the ideal of how a perfect hostel should look like. Enough privacy in the beds, perfect R&R facilities, nice pool etc. And the bike rental is just perfect! I really love this place! :)

The staff were extremely painful. The location and feel of the place however was great. The music at the bar is very loud so dont expect to get some sleep before 2am.

I had mixed feelings about this place. The dorms are ultra-modern & spotlessly clean with nice soft mattresses BUT those overlooking the bar are VERY noisy till the bar closes at 2am. I stayed in one on my 1st night & had to take a sleeping pill. On my 2nd night I moved to one on the other side of the building & it was fine. No computers there (a problem if you don't have your own) & the atmosphere was fairly snobby & yuppyish. Also the breakfast is ridiculous. Big 'busy and fairly impersonal.

Great atmosphere and cool, relaxed mood! Staff was great, helped in late time checking, and to make modifications to our reservations on tight schedules! We had a great time and will recommend this hotel to others. It was a very pleasant surprise to discover this place in Miami Beach. The beds are great, I stayed both in a double bedroom and a 8 bed mixed dorm. The mixed dorm had clean bathroom, individual lockers and plugs for phones and other things. The pool/bar area is awesome!

One of the best I have ever stayed.

Good place. Nothing particularly good or bad about the place. It's a clean, affordable hostel that is in a good location.

Noisy bar part of facility so don't plan to get alot of sleep

Lovely new hostel, fantastic outside pool area and breakfast muffins are very yum. Rooms are spacious and exactly what you need in a hostel. Friendly and helpful staff, we have a great stay, thank you very much!

Freehold 5 *****'S. Just the best public experience with lodging I have ever had. Starting with the mood as you enter the building,the bed linen..the beds that somehow offer privacy ..even in a 8 bed room?! The staff, their politeness ( good morning with a smile) quick response to almost any request, the swimming pool AND the Broken Shaker on site bar that has lots of energy and fab drinks. The location is perfect for those that like to "get away" from the maddening crowds. GO and taste paradise

Staff friendly, Anthony's courtesy surpasses VIP treatment. 2 Blocks from beach. 1 block Subway shop, market, cuban cafe next to city buses. Nice pool great garden for day/night relaxing, cute foyer with desks lounge chairs, wifi reaches easily garden/rooms. This is a boutique hostel lamp & power points designed to beds, clean bathrooms clean towels, good mattresses, air-conditioning. I kept extending I enjoyed it so much, nice social atmosphere. I will be returning exclusively (note no laundry)
