The facility was great, one of the best I've been to in recent times. but the beds were super creaky making it difficult to sleep through the night without making a sound

Don’t remember the last time I climbed into the top bunk. I’m not the social butterfly, so I mainly stayed to my room or the library. I will consider staying here again the next time

Didn’t spend too much time there but it was clean and just a fun place to be with other fellow travelers. Definitely recommend if you just need somewhere to sleep for a few days.

Danius was an excellent host as he made me feel welcomed on a rainy day in Miami. I was short $13 dollars on my security deposit upon check-in and he made the executive decision to go above & beyond to get me checked in. I really appreciate his help with it being my first time at the establishment. I would definitely recommend to friends and stay here again. It's a friendly atmosphere. - Chris

I had such a good time. The hostel is in a very good neighborhood. A lot of eateries, shops and really close to the beach. The people who work there made me feel so welcome. Beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfy and showers and toilets were very clean. The breakfast was what I needed. Very simple but with a lot of choices. I definitely will be back and recommend to my friends.
