Liked: The options to have for free a bike for 2 hours, the other amenities to play at the beach, toys, chairs and umbrellas, the closiness to the beach, options to eat at the restaurant at the same place, tables and things to prepare your own BBQ ;) smelly

Disliked: They were not caring about cleaning the rooms... :( too sad because the place has a lot of good space and facilities just getting ruined

16 August 2011 Katherine would recommend this property

Liked: I stayed in the female dorm, and I was impressed that we had our own private bathroom in the room. It was very clean and had a skylight, which was a nice touch. The hostel is also very close to a beautiful beach and many restaurants nearby.

Disliked: The only thing I didn't like was that it is very difficult to get to the hostel without taking your own car or a taxi. I tried using public transportation to save money, but it took me about 2 hours to get there from the airport (I took a taxi back to the airport when I left and it only took about 20 min.). Partly this is due to the infrequency of the buses, but also because I didn't know where to get off the bus since it was my first time in the area. Advice for those taking public transportation: When you take the #4 bus from Dania Beach, take it all the way down A1A to Arizona Street, which is a major road just a block before an overpass ramp at the very end of A1A.

Liked: Receptionist was super nice and helpful. If you wana be close to Hollywood Beach itself then its perfect - only one block away but super hard to get to Miami by public transport.

Disliked: Not much of an atmosphere - pretty quiet and i didnt see any other travellers. Hollywood beach itself isnt the nicest place - Fort Lauderdale and Miami are better.

Liked: the nearby restaurant has the best food around and offers every saturday dj live music!

Disliked: at times it was difficult to reach the responsible manager to inquire about rescheduling, unfortunately she couldn´t help us and so we checked out a day earlier without any refund/etc.
