The room was really dirty when we entered. The bathroomfloor was more black then white as it should be. Location is perfect close by the beach. This is a real party hostel. If you don't want to go out every night, getting some sleep can be difficult because of the loud noises from the central hall. There are three meals every day, so that's really good, but there isn't always enough for everybody.

amazing location, tons of interesting people and things to do at any given point in time (day or night), free dinner rocks... but that wi-fi needs to be upgraded or something - they went frugal on it... it's only available in the lobby, which can get overcrowded, it's too slow most of the time (forget about watching youtube), and doesn't reach the rooms at all... if they upgraded that and you could access it in the rooms too, pffft, this place would seriously rock..

We stayed in a private room away from the hostel and I must say that we all thought it was fantastic value for money. The apartment was clean and well presented (no mice or cockroaches!) and amazing air conditioning. Good walking distance from hostel and beach (easily done with suitcases). Meals were basic and no choice but nice and good for the money. Staff were generally polite and always helpful. Would stay again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, organised lots of things for the guests. Great location in South Beach. Rooms were clean but bathroom was quite run down, although good hot shower. It is a party hostel with lots of noise so only go if you are wanting to party lots, there is nowhere to chill out if you dont want to party, loud music always playing. WIFI only works in reception which can be annoying when there is loud music. Room is really hot, there is air con but it was really loud.

LOVED this place - I heard about its awesomeness on the other side of the world. Came for UltraMF, this was a perfect place to drop my bags and party my ass off during the week. Staff is great, lots of space to socialize in the common area, super location. Didnt try the free lunch or dinner because I\'m a picky eater but I think everyone else loved it.

Brilliant hostel. Staff very friendly. This is a party hostel- don't go to this place looking for a quiet time. They give you 3 free meals each day which are fairly nice. There are organised nights out each night. These cost a lot less than entrance into clubs at the door so are worth doing. Located about 5mins walk from the beach and all major tour companies will pick you up at the front door.

Had a great time at Miami Beach International Hostel during spring break 2012. The location is perfect, very close to south beach and bars/clubs. The rooms are simple, bur they are cleaning them every day. It's a perfect place to stay if you like partying and wanna meet a lot of people for a cheap price. The staff is really cool and friendly, and I really liked the concept of the hostel arranging trips to bars/clubs every night.

I would definitely stay in this Hostel if I were to come back to Miami. The location is ideal, the staff is helpful, and you get to meet tons of cool travelers from all over the world. The accommodations are pretty basics, but lets be honest, if you\'re looking into Hostels, that\'s what you would expect. If you\'re looking to stay in a place on South Beach and make some new friends, this is definitely the place to stay.

This place was great. I stayed for Miami Music Week, aka the Winter Music Festival/Ultra Fest. The hostel was lively and there were many new people to meet. It was an amazing time!
