Pretty basic, odd part of town, don't think anyone slept well

Stayed in February 2025

The other guests were allowed to do and say what they wanted. I watch two Indian guests or whatever nationality they were, harass and assault another guest and got him to move hostels.

Only liked the location because it is in a prime area and transportation is simple.

Bed and linen is dirty, room and toilets is tiny, full of plastic flowers that collects dust and strong deodorant smell. No one manages the place, owner just remote orders some cleaners each day.

Good size semi outdoor kitchen and common area.

The add-on bathroom was difficult to maneuver in, this flaw detracted from the property. Additionally, the bedroom walls are thin so I could hear everything and felt immersed in the arguments.

Great location and has great workers though they argue like a couple. Plenty of space in the kitchen. The main bathroom is nice. The concept has a happy artsy feel. Hi-speed internet works well.

No coffee shop close to the location.

I like the place, it is super clean and comfortable. Close to the airport. Chris the manager is an excellent person.

My room was too cold and the AC could not be touched to be adjusted because it was centralized for other rooms as well. I ended up catching a cold because of it. The blankets on beds were really small as well. The manager was really helpful and tried to give me more to keep me warm. But it was just not really confortable to sleep with 3 small blankets

The manager was really helpful

In general the place and the host are amazing. The relation price and quality is the most convenient in Miami. I strongly recommend this place for those who are looking to just enjoy the city and need a place to sleep.

Location is in a little sketchy neighbourhood and far from public transportation and interesting places. In my room stayed 2 man that were very nice but I felt that they are tenants more than visitors, and their stuff were spread everywhere. Room is too small. Didn’t eaally have the expected social hostel environment. I was top bunk and the bed felt wiggly

The low price and the host (Chris), he was lovely and helpful

Staff keeps the place clean and tidy. Also it’s quiet especially at night.

I was booked for two weeks in a Single Private Room and had to leave halfway because I was completely grossed out when I realized the place was infested. I started getting itchy the morning after I slept in that bed. I noticed insect bites on my legs first. I was out all day, and that night, I grabbed a "clean" sheet set and changed it myself since it was late. The next day, I was more itchy and had more bites. I noticed small black specks on the sheets, floor, and walls. I changed the sheets again, and the clean sheets also had specks. I figured the sheets were probably old, but if they were washed, they should be fine. Again, the next day, I was itchy and had even more bites on the back of my neck and torso. That is when I started seeing insects moving around on the ceiling. I grabbed my phone to see it better, recorded it, and started taking photos of all I was seeing. I saw some weird insect walking on the wall, ceiling, and near the WiFi router that was on a black corner shelf. I knew I couldn't stay there another night and called Booking.com for my options. The reason I chose this place was because of the question they answered for another guest about service animals, stating that they could only allow a service dog if the guest booked the private room. I made the booking and left a note about the service dog, and the host (Chris) called me back very quickly. They apologized, but they could not allow the service dog and didn't know why that was there. They offered to waive the cancellation fee, but I had to stay somewhere, so I asked if the manager could maybe make an exception. I was given the manager Kayla's number and explained the details again via SMS, but they said they could not allow the service animal. They said I could cancel, and they would waive the cancellation fee.

Not much. More bad. I called BOOKING.com for their help. They would start a complaint and Ask for the Photos and videos I had taken of the infestation. The next day, I called Booking.com to ensure they received the photos I sent via email. That was when they advised me the Hostel had responded and claimed that I had brought a dog into the room. I was truly shocked. I could not believe they would flat-out lie when they knew I never brought the dog with me, and they have the place under 24-hour surveillance. And that they would so easily use the previous interaction about their policy regarding service animals to dismiss my complaint. Booking.com was going to reply to them that I had photos and videos proving my claim of the infestation. And I advised them to request the video that supposedly would prove theirs to see what they would say. I also emailed them with the photos I had and sent them to Kayla as well, but she didn't reply. I also was not planning to review them as long as they did the right thing, but now I need to warn others what they are walking into. I will likely have to call my bank if they do not do the right thing in the next 24 hours. I'm including a few pictures and videos of the disgusting state of this place. You've been warned!!!

The property is in a quiet neighborhood, the yard scenario is beautiful and allows you to sit in silence to relax and think. And the staff keeps the inside very clean and neat.
