I liked it because is very close to everything!! Close to the beach it’s literally two blocks away from the beach!!! And near the hostel you can find restaurants , clubs etc!
I saw a cockroach🥲😭. Also I didn’t like that the breakfast is very small they don’t have eggs or anything like that. Only waffles and cereal with milk and coffee :( But Overall was a good experience. you get what you pay.

In general I liked the place and I’m willing to be back there. Small suggestions are only for improvement, otherwise I must say it was a really cozy place. Especially the personnel was kind and helpful. I liked Abel, the Mexican guy, and Elias, the Argentine. They helped to organize local excursions and gave advice when necessary. The location was perfect and I don’t find another low-budget site with such a convenient location there. All possible difficulties were well-balanced by the performance of the personnel that was really kind and helpful. I liked the atmosphere, it was a kind of bohemian style, super nice:).
Sometimes there were issues with hot water: it took way too much time to get it, sometimes it wasn’t working. Probably they use solar cells and this might be not in the best condition. Also the bathrooms could’ve been more clean. It was easily visible there. Otherwise all good.

I recently stayed at [Hostel Name], and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure that I felt at home. What truly stood out was the atmosphere. The communal spaces were perfect for meeting fellow travelers, and the organized events (like pub crawls, city tours, or game nights) were a fantastic way to connect with people from around the world. The location was unbeatable – close to public transport, popular attractions, and local eateries. Just 2 blocks away from Ocean drive and the beach. Overall, south Beach rooms and hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you’re a solo traveler, backpacker, or a group of friends, this place is a gem. I can’t wait to come back! And don't forget the best price in area. Can't get anything better.

They had rooms with bathrooms inside with only 4 or 6 beds, not looking like a homeless shelter with 50 beds in one area!
The women are very rude and don’t want to help you like the men do. Our room they assigned us was great until the toilet stopped working & then they ended up splitting my daughter and i up after promising that they would put us back together in the same room but never did! The curb appeal was sketchy and it’s always some men hanging out in the front trying to sell you something!

Excellent experience at this hostal! I want to highlight the exceptional service I received from the team. In particular, Tolu at the front desk was very friendly and efficient in resolving my requests. His positive attitude and contagious smile made my stay even more enjoyable. But what really impressed me was the personalized attention from the manager, Elias. He took the time to ensure everything was okay and made sure my needs were met. His leadership and dedication to quality service are evident in every detail. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thanks Tolu and Elias for making my stay an unforgettable experience!"

Location is great! Bed was extremely comfortable! People talk about the property being sketchy but I didn’t find that at all. I checked in at night and the staff member who assisted me, Tolu, was awesome! He made me feel good about my stay right away and I felt comfortable checking in as a result of his customer service. I’ve been putting off trying this hostel based on reviews and it does look a little sketch from the outside, but i finally booked because of price. And, I rebooked because of Tolu. The hostel was very booked and they were short on sheets and towels (weird and really unacceptable but I just needed to sleep) and Tolu was sympathetic and apologetic and I was ok with the shortcomings of the hostel based on his customer service.
Some sketch people hanging around outside…didn’t feel unsafe…just uneasy but it’s ok. Lack of bedding sheets. Bathroom door in room didn’t lock but it was ok…I had respectable roommates.

I love that the Property is close to everything. The beach is one block away and there are plenty of restaurants around. I love that you constantly see staff cleaning. There is a full kitchen, activities, and a pool table. And it’s the most affordable way to travel if you’re alone or with a partner. Me and my partner made separate reservations but still didn’t cost more than $50 for the day. You won’t find that with the kind of hospitality this place gives anywhere else in Miami. We definitely will stay again !

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel because of its friendly staff, particularly thanks to Dunia at the front desk. The common areas were lively, perfect for socializing with travelers from all over the world. The location was excellent, very close to the beach and main streets. I also appreciated the affordable rates.
I didn't like the cleanliness of the rooms and the bathroom. I would have liked to have one or two public bathrooms in the hostel, apart from the one in the room.

I was nervous when I found that place online and decided to go check there before doing the reservation. It was my first time knowing and being in a hostel. The receptionists were very nice. The costs and location were incredible. I was surprised to have housekeepers cleaning the next day I got there. Having the $20 for inspection back minutes after I left was very impressive compared to the hotel I stayed before I had to call almost a week after to return my $100. It was nice to meet and live with new people from different countries. I might come back in the future with other friends.
My roommates were also nice, but some were a little noisy on the first day, so it was hard to sleep (being sensitive to too much noise when it comes to sleep). I think I would be better to be with people who are there for a few days together instead being with someone who actually lives in the room. It would be good to remind people to respect others when sleeping (leaving the room to speak on the phone or watching videos or movies with headphones). I think my room was too small to have 3 bunkbeds, but I got what I paid for. Overall, it was a good experience.

Perfect Hostel for a Solo Traveler in Miami Beach! I recently stayed at south Beach rooms and hostel in Miami Beach for one night, and it was an incredible experience as a solo male traveler. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and nightlife, yet tucked away enough to avoid the noise. The staff were super friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations for local spots and arranging group activities like pub crawls and beach yoga. The dorms were clean, with sturdy bunk beds, personal lockers. The common areas were vibrant and social, making it easy to meet other travelers. Overall, I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. If you’re traveling solo and want a mix of relaxation and socializing in Miami Beach, I highly recommend this hostel!
