Miami Beach Hostels

Pros: The breakfast was fantastic. Our stay was very good value for money. The place is very clean, well kept and maintained. The free use of bikes really made our trip. The bar is a lot of fun and the staff are the nicest, friendliest people you will meet.

Pros: I loved that the staff was very friendly and helpful..I loved the the hotel was clean and they had a theme for every day of the week.. The location was awesome and was easy to get to where u wanted to go.

Cons: Did a reservation last minute on the last room they had available in the hotel and got a new bus ticket to Miami so I can get in the hotel earlier to enjoy it better. 5 hours later, a front desk employee calls me to tell me they're overbooked and my reservation is cancelled. Talked with a manager on the phone who was very disrespectul and yelled at me several times. Told me that is not his problem they're overbooked and didn't offer me any kind of respect, option, discount, invite to come any other time. Suggested me to get another hotel room in south beach saying there were millions of options in Miami to sleep. Didn't realized I wanted to go to that hotel to live a different experience, not just to sleep. 4 hours after this, called me to tell me somebody else had cancelled and they have a room back for me. Totally disrespectful. Ruined my experience and my first day of vacation.

Pros: Cost and cleanliness

Cons: Far from the beach, length of bed I'm 6'4" so I had to sleep diagonally on the bed lol

Pros: Perfect place for gay people who like to have fun and be in the center of it all

Cons: The crates are not totally private and can be a bit noisy during the night

Pros: The coffee break and the location are good. You can find several restaurants nearby. The bar inside the hotel is also great.

Cons: The crates are a little noisy, but nothing really impossible to deal with.

Pros: The staff was always friendly and Helpful. The room was very confortable and the entire place was nice, my expectations were exceeded, good breakfast and location also amazing.

Cons: Nothing to comply about.

Pros: Absolutely everything, the staff service is a 7 star hotel level, loved Danny and all the other employees! The facilities are amazing and the location is very central. Breakfast is delicious and the free beach shuttle is so convenient.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The atmosphere

Cons: That I booked such a short trip.

Pros: Great staff- good kitchen

Cons: Far from beach- and nightlife

Pros: Stuff is amazing! they provide us everything that we asked for, even more! vibe there was just great and kitchen and dining room area is perfect to meet people.

Cons: there was not a single thing that was missing

Pros: Welcomed me very late after the Bikini Hostel would not give me a bed after 11 pm. Friendly guy requested I book online and guided me through the process. After a quick check-in process, i was in a clean bed in an airconditioned room. Met some nice people, the kitchen is great

Cons: The girls from Finland beat me on the 8 ball table.

Pros: The extras Food, music, cleanliness. Everyone including guests were great.

Cons: They lied there’s no free shuttle it’s $10 and the cancelled after having us wait till 7:30 very late notice almost missed my flight

Pros: Location was good

Cons: The place was dirty.

Pros: Staff were really nice and helpful, kitchen availability and bicycles which you can rent.

Cons: In my room there was a very specific and unpleasant smell.

Pros: The kitchen is greatly equipped.

Cons: The AC is too cold...

Pros: Great patio to relax on the evening, lively hostel goers at all hours of the day and nignt but everyone is respectfully quiet during quiet hours. Conveniently close to amenities (liquor store, cafe and bar all within drunken stumbling distance) and especially the staff. They were the best part about the stay from start to finish. Would definitely recommend for a cheap weekend stay or as a solo traveler.

Cons: I developed a new term while staying here to describe this type of place: sloshtel. Clearly a cheaper place preferred by those coming to drink the weekend away (which I did as well) but the amount of vomiting going on each morning was rather noticeable, no fault by the hostel though.

Pros: The staff is super nice and useful! Location is very convenient, beach towles are provided for free. The price is cheap.

Cons: The rooms are a bit small. It was hard to make the water warm in the shower.

Pros: Excellent value for money, good location but quiet as it is not a party hostel (which I liked). Free bike, free coffee/tea, free BBQ on saturday. Good atmosphere

Cons: No dislikes

Pros: Everything about Miami Hostel is good from the time you walk through the entrance, until you checkout. Laid back atmosphere, helpful staff, and very nicely organized/clean hostel.

Cons: There is nothing to dislike about Miami Hostel. If you are not happy with under $20 a night on South Beach at a property this nicely taken care of, operated, and located then you may be impossible to please.

Pros: There was plenty of movie entertainment and even a hot tub. Lots of attention to detail and very clean.

Cons: Getting used to sharing a dorm room with six other people.

Cons: The kitchen is closed before 11pm. Some guests are allowed to entered, Others not.

Pros: It was good for that price

Pros: I had the best time as a solo traveler. It was like an adult slumber party.

Cons: I had the top bunk which was a little difficult for me

Cons: Yo deje cosas en mi cuarto y me lo tomaron tube qe pedir les las vosa qe la mujer qe limpio tome

Pros: Really nice place, nice staff, nice decoration, Nice breakfast

Pros: The vibe, the decor and amenities. The beds are super comfy and front desk people are the nicest!

Cons: The Wifi is very spotty. It constantly drops and it is kinda slow. Housekeeping ladies are kinda rude. We kept running out of toilet paper in our room and they kept taking our towels without replacing them.

Pros: Definitely enjoyed my stay..will definitely be back..the pool area is something out of a fairytale. The food at broken shaker is amazing. The comfort of the rooms was also great

Cons: The tub in my room kept stopping up Everytime you take a shower. Also, I don't think the staff cleaned the bathroom at all during my 3 day stay.

Pros: I loved the patio and the beautiful area outside of the hotel, especially the bar Broken Shaker. Rooms are in nice style, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was decent. Freehand Miami offers free bicycles, twice a week free yoga and some additional activities.

Cons: The noise from the bar made it really difficult to fall asleep unfortunately - I think it would be good to turn off the music after 10 pm.

Pros: I like the fact that the rooms are very clean.

Pros: I really recommend this place for short stay in Miami. Good localisation, nice neighbourhood!

Pros: The pool area is great! The Broken Shaker is an awesome bar! The staff is excellent; helpful & very inviting! The the rooms are nice and beds are comfortable! The property is in a great location, right in the middle of Miami Beach!

Cons: The main building needs an update to the interior. There was a lot of rust and chipping paint in the room and the bedroom/bathroom windows are disabled (so fresh air in your room is a no-go). The continental breakfast is meh. Freehand places a hold on your credit/debit card during you stay that will freeze funds in your account ($100 or so) for 4-5 days after your stay, even though your payment is debited from your account on your checkout date.

Pros: I am never gonna book with kayak again! The hostel told us that they don’t make business with tou, therefore my reservation wasn’t saved in their system.

Cons: When we arrived at the hostel, they didn’t have out reservation! We spent half of our vacation calling Kayak and dealing with the hostel! No help!

Pros: It was better than nothing

Cons: The toilets were not working so well and the rooms were not so comfortable. There is no wifi in the rooms

Pros: Close to the beach, easy public transport around the city and from the airport

Cons: Room (4 only female) was very small, not very well maintained. Always cold water in the shower (morning/evening, doesn’t matter)

Pros: Location

Cons: The first thing I noticed once I walked into the hostel was the old book and dust smell. It could be ok for someone else, but I'm extremely allergic ( And I can't imagine it would be good for anyone, allergic or not). I raised the issue to the crew but they didn't care. Hopefully the bedroom wasn't so bad in smell, but the bed was AWFUL! The mattress was very thin and sloppy. I could feel the bed strips and it was very unconfortable. I couldn't sleep. I had to look for another place to stay and go over my budget so I could enjoy my vacation, even though I have already payed the hostel. And that is just talking about the place, now the staff was another story. I got there with my friend and our reservation was a little mix up. So the payment was in my name and the reservation was in hers. I had the payment receipt and everything, but once we get there the man on the reception was extremely rude. We tried to explain the situation, but he wouldn't hear us. He kept saying. "You haven't payed!". I went to my credit card transactions and after a while of being rude raising his voice, I finally was allowed to show him the payment receipt. He then found it in his system. Ok. We thought he had it fixed. But on check out we had the same problem. It was a mess and I'm still afraid they haven't fixed it and will charge my credit card again. I'm not super picky as it might sound. I have been to many hostels before and know the drill, but I can recognize a good hostel from a bad one, and SoBe was very desapointing.

Pros: Has a great location in the South Beach area. Many places within walking distance. Bars, clubs, restaurants and the beach. Somewhat friendly staff. Free breakfast is always a waffle, one fruit, coffee and juice. You also get a free drink in the bar every night.

Cons: This is no 5-star hostel, beware. The bathrooms were gross, not clean at all and there’s no privacy. The shower stalls need a serious update, starting with the fact that there’s no hot water. Sheets and a towel are provided to you upon checkin and you have to return them to the front desk upon check out. Meaning you have to make your own bed and sheets are not replaced unless you request for them. The room was very basic with four bunk beds and one small stool. The windows did not open and did not have blinds to block the incoming sunlight. The a/c unit in the did not work for 2 nights out of my 3-night stay. All the staff ever said was “we’re working on it.” They tried to accommodate me in another room, however, the new room was already occupied and also had no a/c. The problem with the a/c was throughout the entire second floor. I was not even offered compensation for the terrible inconvenience. The place has a good location, however, I advise to stay away from this place. Definitely not staying there again. You can find better places for a far better price.

Pros: Central position few steps away Ocean Drive. The 'bracelet key' is a great idea to keep it handy.

Cons: Toilets were very disappointing: just 3 for an entire floor of which one did not have the door and another one had it but was broken and impossible to close. No window in the room and locker broken which did not allow me to close my stuff.

Pros: Great staff and very clean

Cons: Thin beds and anything you leave in the kitchen gets taken

Pros: The staff is always very friendly, especially the manager :)

Cons: No hot water in shower. It needs to be fixed!!!

Pros: The location of the hostel

Pros: Location

Cons: The beds are not comfortable.

Pros: Very nice people in front office

Cons: Very old furnitures and stairs. No elevator available

Pros: No

Pros: Near the main places of south beach, nice facilities

Cons: The staff (specially the guy from the bar) didn’t have the best attitude

Pros: Must meet George he is the coolest guy over there every body is very welcoming awesome place really recon for every one and most interestingly i happen to meet a lot of new people

Pros: I really appreciated the front desk service and professionalism, especially Gio. Gio really seems to know his job and treats everyone with respect and checks you in and gets you over to your room as he answers any questions you have. Great that they have big fans in the patio area AND with electrical outlets at the table. Makes it very comfortable on hot sticky nights. I'd definitely recommend this hostel.

Cons: Parking can be tough sometimes.

Cons: Bikini is an amazing place, and Gio is very helpfull :)

Pros: Since I was traveling alone I wanted to stay somewhere I could meet people and mingle, this was the perfect place for what I was looking for. I loved the beer garden, free breakfast and dinner also the staff is so friendly and helpful, the linen and rooms were clean! I honestly enjoyed my stay and will stay there again! If you are in the Miami Beach area and looking for a nice Hostel to stay at, go to Bikini Hostel, you won’t be disappointed. Also a good place to mingle and meet new people, met some pretty cool people whom I will keep in contact with in the future. I recommend this Hostel to all those who are looking for a place to mingle, stay and drink all in one spot!

Cons: Honestly there was nothing I didn’t like. Maybe extend the hours of breakfast? But It was close to a Whole Foods, Walgreens and some restaurants, so you can’t go wrong.

Pros: We were a group of 6 - perfect for us and a bit different to all the other places we had stayed in as more expensive. We spent a really good time at bikini hostel, beautiful bartender, and great service of staff. Jhon best of them.

Pros: It was easy and not complicated at all...

Cons: Breakfast with only possibility to choose from very sweet cereals and white bread...apart from the eggs-no healthier option...

Pros: People here at the reception ar superfriendly. Ashley is solving any truble in a minute. Good location far but walking distance from noisy party part

Pros: Great staff, very helping and caring. Nice atmosphere. Lot of fun in the beer garden

Cons: Little cleaner would be appreciated but it is ok.

Pros: It was fun!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The location was excellent for nearby restaurants, ship tours, souvenir shops at Bayside. We saw the 4th of July fireworks. Front desk attention courteous and friendly, especially Jhon.

Pros: Easy check-in and check-out and the staff was very friendly about helping to upgrade, because we weren't satisfied with the dorm room

Cons: Pretty expensive for a 9-bed-dorm, not welcoming or clean - we basically had to upgrade to feel better about the place... still no clean kitchen and bathroom

Pros: Staff and Jhonatan were very Helpful and the Rooms are very good. Location is perfect distance from the beach and the Breakfast is excellent also dinner free. Will recommend and I will visit again.

Pros: I love the fact that it is near everything like the beach, restaurants, and major retailers.

Cons: I had to re-activate my card every day and the stairs from the hall to the patio is a little hazardous if not fully paying attention

Pros: Good location, great price... Was not super dirty but definitely was not clean. Staff could have been friendlier. Would stay there again if on a tight budget
