Liked: Great location. Within walking distance of the beach and a number of great eateries.

Disliked: The rooms whilst reasonably large, where not exactly clean. The bunk bed didn't have any ladder, so i had to use a chair to get on the top bunk. The lockers did not shut properly so you could not attach a lock to it. The rooms are detached from reception, so you had to walk down the street to get to the front. Having said that, it is a good place to sleep.

Liked: its close location to the beach , the most important , beside being in the heart of the Espanola way which is amazing at night MUST visit.

Disliked: When i first moved everything was ok but after spending 2 nights sleeping on the same bed , a young man woke me up in the third night claiming that I am sleeping on his bed provided he has put his sweater on it and that was not an enough reason from him to get the bed anyway , the problem solved when one of the staff came to the room and handled the situation by giving him a different bed .But that situation was disturbing to me.

Liked: The location is absolutely good. It's near the beach and the shopping center. It's also convenient to take bus to the airport.

Disliked: The bed is not so clean and the room is a bit small without even a table to hold things.

Liked: People at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. The neighborhood is great as well! Definitely recommend it.

Disliked: I asked for a wake up call, but it didn't happen. The person forgot about it (he told me after I inquired...). Other than that the place was pretty great for what I paid.

Liked: Hostel was located in the premium place; very close to everything on South Beach: nightlife, shopping, beachlife etc. Dorms were ok for that price! They could have been a little bit more cleaner, but for that price we were satisfied... you can not expect hotel standards for such a little money:) It was also very easy and close to a bus stop to get to the airport with 2,35$.

Liked: Location... Superb it is, there are many cheap 24hrs combo streamlessmeal shop, where a natural beer and big chicken piece with flavored rice coasted me $5..

Liked: Unquestionably, the best location in historic South Beach area, near all major attractions. Area is great for short stay (2 to 5 days), great quiet room for wifi internet use...but area is too noisy if you're going there to relax. Great stay overall!
