I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The hotel manager was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean, well decorated and equipped, cool, and airy...perfect for a stay in Florida. I look forward to another stay at hotel Deauville!

I think this is a great place to stay if you prefer to be directly on the beach and stay in safe, clean, quiet accommodation. The manager lives on site and is very accessible and full of information and energy. The only negative for me was that there were some uninvited guests that would creep into the rooms; I'm talking about HUGE water bugs a.k.a. cockroaches. If you can deal with those pests than you wouldn't mind staying here.

Thank you for your comment. I hope you enjoyed your stay. Yes, Dennis is just great with guests and we were also amazed about all the information he can give !! As far as the water bugs, I guess the season started... We have a pest control coming two times a month, but I guess it is not enough. The other problem we have is that people leave their door open all the time, allowing those uninvited creature to come in the room. I will call the pest control to see what they can do more. Thanks

AMAZING, great, incredible...words like these would not do the hostel justice. To start, the beach is just ONE block away. You won't find bathrooms in other hostels that are so nice (large, tiled showers) and clean. Most importantly, the hostel manager and the hostel owners were so helpful, welcoming, and great conversationalists! I was so stressed during my flight to FLL, but I left happy and relaxed. Dinner, wine, and nice people can really turn a bad day into a good one. Thanks so much!

Much luck on your future world travels and Dennis, I LOVE YA! Your New Jersey Queen will return SOON!

Good and quiet hostel, even in the spring break period. Very close to the beach but kinda far from the main night clubs and bars. you'll need a cab to get to Downtown Fort Lauderdale. But other then that I'll recommand this place to everyone. The owners are caring and know a lot of stuff around the Hostel.

The hostel was super clean! The people staying there were cool, no straglers. The location is great - near shops, restaurants and the beach.. if you want to go to the busy end of the strip, it's only a short bus ride (0r about $8 in a cab). The owner - Dennis, is really helpful, fun and approachable. It was freezing cold when I was there but the communal room was always warm The only feedback I'd give is to have some up to date panphlets about activities, other than that - fabulous!

very well done! Extended or short stay visits are a pleasure. So close to the ocean, grocery stores, and shopping centers I couldn't really ask for anything else. Give it a try!

Good location, though a car would be handy (as everywhere in Florida outside Miami Beach and Key West!) as it's a bit far from the action, though just a block from the beach. Dennis is very friendly, tells you everything. I had a 'single' room which was really a double bed and very nice and clean. I was only there a night and didn't socialise much, the weather was cold so nobody by the pool - everyone was in the shared kitchen and seemed to be having fun!

The hostel is very close the beach and not too far from the more populated beaches of Fort Lauderdale. Dennis is very friendly and super helpful with any questions you might have. During my stay, they were undergoing renovations, to which will make this place better to go back to. Additionally, the hostel is under new owners, to which i made suggestions to give the hostel more character and atmosphere. So hopefully when you go, some changes have will have taken place. Even still, i recommend it!

Dennis (the manager) is a very friendly, caring man, who gave me some medication to help me get through my sickness. The location is a couple of blocks from the beach, but more North of the more happening areas of Fort Lauderdale. This place is like a mini 3 star resort, so you get what you pay for. On, and there's a pool! Cleanliness was very good. It's well-set up, with a big common area in which to socialize. I met some amazing people!

I cant say enough about the staff and owners of the hostel. I would say this is very much like a family atmosphere. The best hostel I have stayed at in Florida! Close to the Beach and other attractions.

Looks a little ghetto from outside, but not too bad inside.

We did enjoy having you here. I don't know if it looks a "little ghetto", but we want to make sure that our guests feel secured. It wasn't too bad, as you said, and I'm happy that you got a chance to see the Deauville from the inside. Hope to see you again !!!

Thank you so much Larisa, it was nice meeting you and it was even nicer to see you back again. We are still here renovating the place, it's going to look like a nice oasis, and we try to keep it as friendly as possible. See you soon !!!
