People at the Hostel were very friendly and Fun. Even at age 60 we enjoyed each other, young and old. Southbeach is always an experience.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The location is perfect and the hostel is good value for money. Had a private room, it was comfortable and clean which is all I ever really want. It was quieter than other hostels but still had a good communal area to sit and drink and chat. It's not a party hostel but is a great place to get good value for money in a perfect location with helpful friendly staff and the opportunity to meet other travelers.

We are cold but they don't provide bed cover but very thin cover. After taking a shower, they don't have a towel or hair dryer. We had wet pillow after we just entered a new room. The window at bathroom can not close so people can see inside. I think the room is 103 maybe The female staff's attitude was bad after we asked some questions.

We had a great time at the Tropics because NICE staff, GREAT location and AMAZING atmosphere. There is a kitchen with big freezer were you can put your stuff in brown bags and cook outside next to the large swimmingpool! We even extend or stay because we loved it so much! And because we had a walk in closet ;)

We found a cockroach in our hotel room and when we explained the incident to a lady at the front desk, she was extremely uncooperative plus, she gave us lot of attitude and accused of us lying because the cockroach was not there (which ran away to a room across the hall). Moreover, they did a false advertisement which led us to be surprised because the pictures of room, facility on hostelworld.com was totally different. The money on spending this hostel was not worthy at all.

The location is super and the staff are very helpful and keep the hotel clean. They need to add more cooking utensils to the kitchen and another cutting board.

Great value for a hotel/hostel. We stayed in a double & we're treated extremely well like hotel guests & had access to all facilities. Great price for the location. Basic hotel but had everything we needed. Extremely helpful & friendly staff. Would definitely go back.

IIch hatte ein female dorm gebucht. Bei meiner Ankunft erzählte man mir,es gebe keine female Dorms,ich müsse in einen 8er Schlafsaal mit 7 Männern. Als ich dies verweigerte und erklärte ich würde mir ein anderes Hostel suchen,sagte man mir in dem Fall müsste ich die erste Nacht trotzdem bezahlen. Warum kann man female Dorms auf der Website Buchen wenn es gar keine gibt?

It's a great location, hands down. However I reserved a 4 bed all female through hostel world and when I got there was told that she could give me what I want but there were men in there, so she'll have to put me in a 8 bed "potentially" all female. Not cool in my book. Then she wouldn't give towels, said it was only for private rooms. The next day I ask another staff person and they were happy to accommodate. Again great location, great price, safe, friendly people, just unpredictable staff.

Fortunately we were only here one night because our toilet didn't flush. In an 8 person dorm this was shocking. Really needs maintenance

The hostel has an excellent location, nice ample rooms and a big kitchen. The only things missing are a TV in the lobby or patio to watch sports and lockers in the rooms.

Nice hostel, great location, cheap parking (well for Miami standards) nearby and the rooms are basic but OK. The only thing missing is atmosphere, because in the evenings it's basically a "get behind your laptop and do not socialize" mood.

It's incredible to have the chance to stay in the absolute middle of Miami Beach for a price like that!!!! When I gave the 'average points' to ' fun', so is this only, because it is not neccessary to entertain your guests when you live so close to everything: beach in 2-minutes-walking distance; Ocean Drive around the corner; bus-stop from the airport ($ 2,35) one block away and shopping, dining and bars right in front of the exit door! Thanks for a good time!
