Unfortunately, the place also has about 2-3 long-term guests who are placed in the same rooms with short-term visiting/travelling guests. One of the long-term guests who happened to be in the same room as me has a bad temper/verbally aggressive and abusive (and maybe has some mental health issues as well as he talks to himself, another guest in the room can verify this too) and have had verbal altercations with one other roommate in my room, and he (this long-term guest) has yelled at me twice for adjusting and/or switching off the air-conditioning. Apparently, he wants the air-con on full blast 24/7 even when he is not around and gets mad when he comes back and find the air-con on low cool and not high cool (full blast). But is there a need to yell and use expletives, the F-word? Mind you, all this time, I never raised my voice at him. He just found that he could verbally abuse a single female guest in the room. And one time, I didn't even touch the air-conditioning, I just checked that it was on full blast as it was hot during the afternoon and I just got back and wanted it full blast as well, but he also yelled at me and said not to switch off the air-con even though I didn't even touch the air-conditioning. This guest is definitely a RED FLAG and is verbally aggressive and abusive. More should be done to protect single female guests placed in the same room as this person. This guest acts like this is his room and we are his guests and have to walk on egg shells, we have to "obey"" his orders or else... He behaves like dictator of some kind. I raised this up with the staff on the night he used expletives the F-word at me, the staff didn't do much and didn't even reprimand this guest (which totally surprised me, that's why I feel more should be done to protect single female travellers placed with long-term guests with questionable behavior) so I raised it up with the management.

I have extended my stay here and stayed a total of about 10-12 days to be close to and explore Midtown Miami. Hence, my review here is pretty accurate and reflective of how the place is. Would likely return if I want to be close to Midtown Miami and the Miami Design District. Staff are generally very nice and accommodating. Staff Trudy, Jose, Belu and Daniel keep the place very clean and presentable. There has also been a change in staff recently so some days the place may be less attended to due to a shortage of staff in the morning shift, but things usually gets cleaned up by the afternoon shift. The place has a nice functional kitchen and an outdoor patio/garden area to chill. Location is also good, close to Midtown Miami and the Miami Design District. The management is attentive to feedback from guests, which is a plus. Hence, my 7 rating. I hope the management will visit this property more often and check that the long-term guests are properly audited and are "fit" to mix with visiting/travelling guests. Also, consider placing long-term guests in the same room, as their needs are different from visiting/travelling guests, and some long-term guests have anti-social behavior as well, as mentioned here, so it is better to have them in one room and not put other guests in vulnerable situations. Thank you.

Lack of showers inside the premises, there is only one and the other two are outside the hostel. And they are in the open, there not indoors. Very inconvenient.

Mostly the staff

The 3 issues I had that could have given this review a higher rating are 1. Mosquitoes in the patio area in front of the house, may I suggest that the property install mosquito repellents in the patio area for the comfort of the guests. I had to go to Walgreens to get a bottle of insect repellent spray. On the first day of checking in, I sat in the patio for like 10 mins and got quite badly bitten by the mosquitoes there. 2. The water pressure in the shower/toilet near the kitchen. The water pressure was very low, and as a result, I had to take a "longer" shower to rinse off the soap. 3. Provide more power extensions in the rooms or on the property for easy charging of devices. Other than these 3 issues, all seems fine.

Overall a pleasant experience. Check-in was easy. Staff Trudy and Daniel were helpful and kind around the premises. Guests on the property also seem polite, kind and respectful. The staff also keeps the place immaculately clean and tidy which is very reassuring. Would stay again. Hopefully, the water pressure improves, mosquito repellents are installed in the patio area, and more power extensions around the premises for ease of charging mobile devices. Thank you.

Towel rental was $3 and laundry was $10 The room I was in felt crammed and the beds were creaky

Cheap place that was close to Ultra Miami. It was a bus ($2.25) from the Metromover (free), but you could even walk from the Metromover it was 10 blocks. Facility was nice, it had 3 bathrooms 1 indoor and 2 outdoor all with showers. The place was clean. Free Wifi. Sheets and pillows are included. I would definitely stay here again.

I don't like the fact that the rooms and front door are open all the time. There is no type of security on the property. I don't like the fact that there is only one bathroom inside and the other bathroom is on the outside on the side of the building.

I really like the location, it's perfect to where I needed to be.

Quite a small place with relatively few inviting common spaces except the picnic tables outside. It’s just a converted house with low-end bunk beds crammed into the bedrooms. Not terribly clean. Only one indoor bathroom, with two others you had to access by going outside. Very small lockers only enough for a purse or a few small things.

Good location. Some of the staff were quite friendly. The sheets were comfy. Nice kitchen, decently stocked with cooking items.

There were not enough power outlets in the room.

The location was great! Close to restaurants and within walking distance of the Wynwood neighborhood.

Management I literally called this place 50 times and only spoke to a actually person once I preceeded to ask the guy is this a business or not.

Honestly I only stayed 1 night while working a event in the area needed a place to stay for the price It wasn't that bad loved the area not to far from the beach Walgreens right around the corner and a pier down the street.

The hostal had zero security. Anybody can enter the hostal cos the door was always open, they have four shared rooms but only to bathrooms, so one of the rooms that was supposed to be with private bathroom only for women, everyone from the hostel entered to the room to use the bathroom. The facilities were messy.

Nosy neighbors that peered a little bit longer than usual into the gate. Door to the facility being left open repeatedly.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Location was centralized to the area and quiet.

Only one bathroom, not so clean (while the room was very clean). Bedroom quite small for 4 people. In general is ok for a few nights.

If you don't want to spend a lot, for two night is perfect. Very close to wynwood. Located in a silent street.
