Cheap place to rest your head for a bit. The place seemed safe. Everyone has a locker so bring your own lock. AC doesn’t work very well and the top bunk gets very hot. Bring a fan to cool yourself and drown out the noise.

Its the end of an era for me with this property. Between the shabby room cleanings, rude hostel roommates and now a rude front desk clerk, I do not plan to return. I asked for both a bed sheet and a towel and both were rudely slapped on the front desk by the clerk ( the first time I asked for a bath towel and she slapped the towel down and walked away from the counter and secondly, when I asked for a bedsheet, she slapped down the sheet and went back to the computer… didnt bother to ask if i needed anything else or anything) as opposed to items politely being placed in my hand. I asked the clerk if she was ok and she said yes while staring at computer screen. Personal issues have nothing to do with guests. But overall, ive stayed at better hostels. Sayonara.

They charged me $50 for deposit and never gave it back and I didn't steal, break or damaged anything. The people that they put in the front desk didn't care.

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a “backpacker” type traveler. I prefer staying in hotels if/when I travel. However, compared to the other few hostels that I have ever stayed in, this one misses the mark. These are my reasons: - the bedding is not 100% clean. I often find stray hairs tangled in the knit bed cover -housekeeping does not clean the showers. Debris, hair strands, old razors, half used/empty shampoo & bidy wash bottles, dirty towels and used sticky bar soap all sat in the bathroom for weeks. I asked the housekeeper if they clean showers and she spoke no english -theres no rules or regulations governing what happens in shared rooms. Ive stayed in rooms where people seemingly do what they want-turn off the AC units or turn the temp up to 75 degrees, or hang their wet clothes from the AC unit obstructing air flow. Miami is a hot & humid city so lack of air flow is very uncomfortable for me. Many of the people that stay here do not speak english so trying to explain any of this is a waste of time or can lead to argument. -there are no fresh towels in the room obviously. You must go get a fresh towel from front desk. -no room service, kitchen or microwave to use I only stay here because its cheap. Front desk staff try their best but this property needs major improvements..
