This property is a disaster. The pictures don’t come close to what the reality is.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked the hostel and yes I understand how hostels work, a bunk in a shared room with shared bathroom facilities. I’m ok with that, no frills is what I expected. The issue however was the facility was literally a very small cinderblock room unattached to any other building. The “grounds” were nonexistent. It literally looked like what I imagine ground zero of a bomb explosion looking like. Gravel piled up, no trees or grass or cute colored chairs around an outdoor seating area as the advertised picture showed. Only a couple other cinderblock buildings in various degrees of demolition. Inside was very dark, only a trickle of light from an outdoor street lamp seeping in. I tripped over luggage and shoes (I think) in the dark, cramped room. It was late and I had little choice but to just lay on the bunk until the sun came up and I could leave. I imagine the cleanliness was lacking, perhaps the reason for poor lighting. To say that I was blown away by this accommodation would be accurate, however in the most negative way imaginable. If you are looking for a war torn experience without the danger of death, (tetanus being the exception), this hostel is the clear winner. If you book this hostel expecting a clean, reasonably priced, no frills, cute colored chairs around outdoor seating area type of experience…. you will be sorely disappointed.

Great rate clean and friendly
Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Close to all fun things Key West. I booked the 10 bed dormitory but had the entire place to myself. The front desk staff was so polite and held my bags until I could check in. This is an amazing place for the price!
