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. - Chris

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.

All the staff were helpful and knowledgeable on the area. This place hosted a comedy night while I was there, and I believe they do other events, which is a nice included benefit.

Unrealistic maintenance timing
Bathroom cleaning maintenance at 9-11 am was unrealistic. But overall it's a good stay with great restaurants and the Santa Monica pier nearby
