Great atmosphere, but the staff is very rude, they don't treat you nice, it's like beeing in the subway, for 5 extra bucks, I changed to Deco Walk Hostel 2 blocks and it was much better.

We had some kind of insects in the room. Quite disgusting. And at night was quite noisy.

The location is great because the acces to the beach and night clubs. However the staff is really bad. Each time you ask something is like thay are making you a favor. I've been in many hostels around the world and this is one in which I had received the worst attention. Also, I agree with having loud music at night, but they use it like that all day long, during breakfast, lunch, in the afternoon, so you can not have a minute for rest there.

Free food, cheap beer, parties every night, friendly and helpful staff. Don't know how they do it for the prices they charge, but I'm thankful, as it made my trip to miami beach a possibility on a student budget. Would definitely stay there again.

I enjoyed my time at Miami Beach. I have stayed at many hostels, mostly in Europe, and Miami Beach is one of the top ones I have stayed at.

Very nice, always things to do in the evening.. Actually it was party, party, party! :-) Do not forget your ID (Student ID is not working I tried it) for the clubs. Stuff was helpful and room was nice. It is loud in the night, but probably you are out too.. Free breakfast, lunch and dinner and the quality was OK.

Don't say you have a kitchen if you only have a toaster. I came to this hostel so i could cook food as i have a lot of allergies. When i arrived and realized i was going to go hungry because you misrepresented yourself i wasn't too happy.

I had a bad experience. I made a booking 3 months in advance to stay 8 nights. Unfortunately had problems in Europe and I was forced to cut my stay in Miami from 8 to 4 nights So, when I was checking-in I told them that I only could stay 4 nights instead 8 and they told me that I had to pay the full amount. At the end, I decided not to pay the 8 nights and find another cheap hostel instead; in less than 40 minutes I found TROPICS HOTEL, which was ok and cheaper (17+2 taxes =19 USD/night)

The hostel's team is great, lovely and helpful people. The place super. Thanks: I'll be back! Soon! I miss you... @Hostelworld: Your booking system is confusing. Can you add something like: "your checking out day is...". If I arrive on 27th (after 3 p.m.) and book 14 nights not everybody can see that I will check out on the 11th (at 11 a.m.) and not on the 10th.
