You should have a computer in the lobby for people who don't have one!

It was a good price for an excellent location, very clean facilities, and offering free breakfast, lunch, and dinner is a very nice touch.

We asked for a private room, wich was much more expensive. When we arrived, we've been told that we were in a flat 8 blocks away !!! Nobody told us that before ! We've booked this hostel like everybody else because it was close to the beach....but WE payed more and had to walk avery day more than 20mn to get there. The room was big yes, but not very clean, a window was broken and we got cold at night, plus the building we were staying at wasn't secure at all...Not really a good stay...

Great place to stay provided you're coming to South Beach to party. With the banging music all day and the crowds waiting for the nightclub tours, it's definitely built for one thing and that's partying. So if you're looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing then I'd look elsewhere. Also be careful if you're booking single rooms, they often run out and try and put you in another hostel located a bit further away. As such again it's probably ideal if you're just looking for shared rooms.

Loved my stay in Miami. This Hostel was right near the beach, easy to wonder down and check out the sights. Very much a party hostel, great to meet people, great free food and a great vibe from the staff. Was a bit intimidating the amount of people out the front of the building when we arrived but once we settled in we loved it.

Just fantastic. Great atmosphere, events organized every evening. 1 block from the beach... Best place to go if you are travelling alone. Totally worth staying there. I'll be back for sure.

Incredible hostel! Had a ton of fun! They even feed you! If you are looking for things to be a baby about then I'm sure you could find them here but if you come to have fun and not concern yourself with the tiny things then this is THE PLACE TO STAY! I see that many said they couldn't sleep, this is false! It isn't the ritz with sound proof walls but if you came to Miami so sleep then you can here... But why would you want to!!!!

Everything was great besides the initial welcome to the hostel. We did not have a line, but the receptionist was incredibly brash and rude. However, it did not ruin our stay, and we loved the rest of our time at this hostel. Totally worth going to if you like the party environment!

Loved this place! Awesome location, very clean (housekeepers come 4 times a day), and really great atmosphere. I met tons of people from all over the world. They organize excursions and club outings that are great deals and a lot of fun. Plus, three free meals a day and a very inexpensive bar right in the hostel. It's definitely a party 24/7 which might not be right for some people (although I couldn't hear a thing from inside my room), but I had a blast.

It was the best hostel i have ever been, the room is cleaned 4 times per day, and you make a lot of friends from all around the world, not to mention that you save a lot of money that they have free brakfast, lunch and dinner, that is in most of the times good, not very good, but good. Anound it is in the hert of south beach, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want almost always just walking ( only the dolphins stadium is far). It was one of the most wothwhile experience ever

Staff was very rude and unhelpful, I have been working in customer service over 12 years and I surely know how to treat people....they don't! Especially a woman was super rude (all the times). Music is so loud that is not possible to sleep...even if you wear ear-plugs, it's a sort of disco volume at night. I would not go back and I wouldn't suggest it either.

Excellent value for money. First hostel we ever stayed in that provides all meals for free. Great food (breakfast, lunch and dinner). It is mainly a party hostel, organizing Pub crawls every night, cheaper for group discounts. Free beer keg or drinks to start the evening from now and than. Nevertheless, if you are not looking just for white nights, soundproofing is good and you can get a good night sleep. We would definitely stay again. Direct bus from airport, direct bus to anyplace in Miami.

Great hostel, great location, the only problem I had was with the air conditioning. Because of the dry air I got a sore throat and caught a cold in Miami!! But apart from that, you'll really get your money's worth there. Three free meals... that's just amazing. Staff was very helpful. A lot of parties going on there.

Great hostel, they made it easy to meet people. Staff was very helpful and friendly. A major advantage was the 3 free meals a day-- it saved us a lot of money! Would recommend this hostel to people who wanted to connect with others while in town!
