Very nice hostel, we got free upgrade in an apartment. Very good value for money, as you get free breakfast, lunch and dinner. Rosa, the girl at the reception was very nice and friendly, gave us lots of tips and infos regarding our next destination. I'll definitely go back again when I return to miami

I was in a 6 bed mixed dorm - the room was cleaned four times a day and was always spotless! Everything you would expect and need, with extremely comfy beds, hot water and AC! Their is a great vibe and buzz around the hostel 24/7 and the staff are brilliant. Free Food 3x per day - couldn't really fault it! I would definitely stay again!

This is not a good hostel. Very expensive, staff not friendly at all, even rude. Booked a private room and just after read in small letters that would be in another site, then tried to change it and got the same fee for a 6 bed dorm. Too loud and very poor character and falling apart. Would not recommend at all, for the same price you get a nice hotel.

My second time in this hostel, but unfortunately not as good as the first one. I booked a room for me and my girlfriend 'cause of the perfect location perfect and to stay close to some friends. But what we got was an apartment more than 10 blocks away from the hostel. A good apartment, but didn´t have the atmosphere and the location we expected and got really complicate to have meals and meet our friends. Also, nobody came to clean the bathroom for the hole week, even after I asked twice.

Really wonderful stay experience there.Stweet and great helpful staff, the patient french guy, the sweet bold buy, and cute skate boy. And the main building really near the beach,close to a 7-11, clost to the shopping street,and can book bus to OUTLET for crazy shopping.The most attractive thing for booking this hostel is the PARTY every night.LIMO coming to pick us!Circus performance!Hit music on lobby every day! But, if you just want the quite sleep, may be you should choose other hostel.

This is the best hostel in the world. Definitely will go back. The staff are all amazing, especially Jeff, John, Fernando, Alessandro. Every night the hostel organises amazing nights out for around $15 a wristband with free beer/drinks, limo's/partybus and queue jump to clubs. Extremely clean rooms, cleaned 4 times a day. Free meals are great. The people here are all great. Highly recommended.

This hostel is a few blocks away from the beach, bars and clubs. The food is basic but saves loads of money for going out. They organised something every night at a bar or club so if you want a party this is the place. It is a good hostel, big, busy and noisy so don't stay their if you want piece and quiet! Only negative was they were a bit rubbish as getting the bookings right in terms of the type of dorm you booked online - it was more rock up and get placed.

Our students feel that the apartment itself was not the best quality. They should have indicated that for the amount of people it was not appropriately a good fit. Location is great. Due to lack of communications with, it was to cramped for the amount of people.
