I’ve stayed at this hostel many many times over the years and it is still fantastic! super clean, really friendly staff nice atmosphere. you get a free breakfast, it’s Nothing fancy but it does the trick. I’ve never had an issue staying here. I highly recommended it! My only Disappointment in my last stay after paying for 3 nights I needed to put my bags in storage for less than two hours, and they wanted to charge me for that.

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.

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.
