Great spot Great location
As a solo traveler it was nice to be in a 4 person room with peace and quiet. The New Year’s Eve party was a surprise so i definitely enjoyed that.
Already recommended it to my daughter and her friends

Little gem with great courtyard.
Great place to stay in Miami beach that was affordable. Location was perfect to walk around, and bus stop just across the road. My wife love the Starbucks was less than a 5 minute walk.
Court yard with pool was one of the best I have ever enjoyed.
Be forewarned, our room let in a lot of outside noise. Traffic, music...

Great Value and Location
Great location and hotel. It offers both hosel style shared rooms and private rooms and apartments as well.
Only issue I had is that there is no bar open for the majority of the day. Broken Shaker is amazing but doesn’t open till 17:00. With that said seems you can just bring your own drinks in so maybe that’s the option till the bar opens.

great location and pool
This is not your typical hostle. the commonareas are shared by 3 restaurants. The parking is a royal pain in the butt if you drive here. They dont have any parking or parking passes so you have to park public which requires you to renew every three hours for the duration of the trip. the room was fine but my roomates were filthy. The staff was nice about providing towels. I feel like the price was very reasonable for the location.

Kul hotell/hostel
Jättemysigt hotell/hostel med superfin innergård och pool. Stämningen är härlig med mycket folk i olika åldrar och deras drinkar är jättegoda.
