I liked that every morning started form cleaning the bathrooms and the halls, althoug they banned us from using two showers. The air condition was very poor for 8-Bed Dorm with all eight girls inside. And they were too little lockers. One more thing beware of some guests bringing others to the dorm from outside obviously. I was very concerned for the security of my stuff. But perfect location (3 min away from the beach) made up for all the trifles inspite of 3-days rain. Good staff, food.

Everyone was friendly and welcoming and it was a great place to stay for a couple nights. I wish the common area didn't have to be a bar though, (it was a bit too loud at times for an area with computer access), and that there was a section where people could relax that was quiet.

It was a great hostel very clean and close to the beach and restaurants! Loved the bar at the place it gave everyone the opportunity to meet others. Just disappointed no one wanted to come out with the group maybe a little more promotion on tours and party nights out!

I was there for 2 nights with my friends. The hostel wasn't bad at all but the staff was horrible. I didn't see a smile in the whole stay.

This hostel is kept very clean, the staff are super friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn't like was being chased away when cleaning the main reception areas. And the breakfast could include some British teas as we don't all drink coffee. Thank you for our stay, we felt at home and most welcome!

Overall, I would give the place an A-. The location is great. Its about a 5 minute walk to the beach and the shopping. The facility is very clean but one of the mens bathroom was closed during my stay so we only had one, which was pretty puny. The staff was friendly from the cleaning ladies to the adorable chica at the front desk. And there is a great little ceviche stand embedded in the building - a bit pricey though. From what I hear, it's a quitter hostel relative to the others in Miami.
