Dry hostel, no bar, don't expect to be partying here. Lots of families and children! Nice and clean safe place to sleep though

The proprietor, Manny, was extremely helpful in accommodating my late arrival and in advising me of local destinations. The hostel is spacious and inviting, providing comfortable settings for sitting down to work.

Manny is an amazing guy who makes you feel welcome and at home immediately after walking through the door. I was only there a couple nights, but it was a great chilled out atmosphere. Dude needs to buy some new bed linens though. They were that fake silk stuff, which is comfortable but slips off all the time.

We had a great time in the World United International Hous in Orlando. We met awesome people who were very nice. The "Hosteldad" is very kind. He really cares about you and your trip and always answers your questions. I would always stay there again because of the other travelers and the kindness. The only thing was that it was not clean how I wished it would be. One evening we all cooked together and enjoyed each others company ;)

There's a market and other shops within walking distance. And its on a bus route. They know of the places to hit up and will help you get there best way possible. The open living room makes it easy for everyone to hang out. Although I didn't take full advantage of the kitchen, its very nice. I would definitely stay here again! :)

Worst "hostel" experience in my entire life. I put the quotations around the word hostel because even Manny (the crazy owner) himself said it wasn't a hostel. It's his home and being there is a privilege- NOT A RIGHT. So basically you're paying HIM to have control over your life while you're there. HUGE WARNING if you decide to stay here. He may threaten you, and yell at you if you talk to a pretty girl that he has his eye on. He's just that kind of a classy dude.

Friendly guests & genuinely accommodating staff. shown room, made payment, and asked about plans in morning. Round-trip ride to Universal Studios for reasonable fee. Starbucks & supermarket 5 min walk. Previous review states, “several times they request my checkout”. A simple explanation is, they were asking about his plans for the next day. His definition of clean is weird since both bathrooms were immaculate. Sounds like an incompetent individual that had logs up his rear

I stayed at World United during my Winter Break, I had a great time and met many new friends, I decided to come back for another visit this spring break and have extended my stay. I am glad to stay some place every one is friendly and the owner does not hesitate to turn away some one that is a nuisance, just like he did the second night I was there, this made every one more at ease. I will always stay here when in Orlando.

The World United International Awesome House is simply wonderful!! A very nice place, very well located, with free parking, a great owner who treats everybody like a family, and a lot of other great stuff! I went to the beach, had San Patricks Day with free beer (OMG!!!), listened to great real stories.... it was just outstanding! Next time I come back, I'll fly near Cape Canaveral, and have a barbecue with the Legendary Manny!! :-)

It's was very confusing about schedule. Payment had been make it at check in, and several times they request my check out!!! An Asian woman verbal attack me, very aggressive, regards a parking issue. I was sleeping and that woman scream like crazy to remove my car. Isn't necessary? Restroom was dirty, super dirty. Both toilet were out of service! And nobody to fix it but an Asian man asking me, about my check out!!

A very nice place to stay. Manny, the proprietor takes a real personal interest in every guest and helps as much as he can, offering lifts to different places, helping out with meals and giving good advice. The atmosphere is somewhat family like with guests from many different countries. I somewhat regret we did not stay longer. There is also a supermarket near by, but the only regret might be that it is difficult to get around in Orlando with public transports if you do not have your own car.

World United International House is a special hostel. Its in a house with three bedrooms therefore you get the real american house living experience. Manny is also a very special person as he extremely friendly and loves to share stores about his experiences with other travelers. This greatest difference between this place and other hostels is the warmth and care you receive, as its like you're being invited by a friend to his own house.

Manny is a great host! I would recommend World United to anyone because it is a safe and fun way to make connections with people from around the world! Wonderful place for people who love to stay in hostels as well as for those who have never tried one before.

110% That's what I promised Manny and that's what he deserves! Even if the hostel's location is not prime, there is a Publix, Walgreens & some others shops almost around the corner. Manny's heart is in the hostel and its guests; he goes out of his way to try to make you as comfortable as possible by cooking dinner, providing for breakfast and drive around to drop you at the mall, attractions and airport or greyhoundstation. The hostel is very homey with swimming-pool and dining and living area.

Manny was a great host, very welcoming and even made us dinner. We enjoyed our stay, however the ensuite bathroom was not very clean. It was good that we could park our car there and there are supermarkets and shops nearby. Thanks for a good stay.

We stayed there for 2 nights and it was horrible.I would rather recomment to pay a little bit more money and stay in a hotel. Manny, the manager was nice and the house could be a nice place, but it was so dirty, the bathroom was disgusting!!! I've been to many hostels in my live, but this one was really the dirtiest I have ever seen. We booked a private room, but when we arrived we got a dorm only for us,which was fine, but when we came home the next day there were 3 other people in our room...
