I have stayed here probably 12-15 times in the last two years. I LOVE this place! I needed an inexpensive, safe place with a warm bed and hot shower in the morning for my short work trips from the west coast of Florida. I found this and haven’t stayed anywhere else since! It also is a short walk to the beach, has a pool and I always meet people traveling from other countries, which I find so much fun! I’ve been meaning to review them for quite awhile, just never took the time. The only con is occasional parking issues, and that they are sometimes booked but they have been great to me since I stay so often. Sometimes they will try to rearrange things and find me space & it’s always worked out. Can’t say enough about my ‘home away from home’! I’ll be staying there again this weekend :)
Great value. Beautiful beach hotel/hostel with helpful staff! Very clean with kitchen access stocked with condiments and spice.
Everything was clean, the pool and shared kitchen are fantastic, the staff adorable. If I ever go back to Fort Lauderdale, I'd definitely check in here again.
A must stay place. Extremely clean, friendly, walk to the beach. Pool and tanning area is really good. The hotel offers beach chairs and towel, at no cost. Absolutely, will return.
This is the best hostel I ever stayed not even close pool kitchen location
Amazing value. Location is only draw back (about 10-20 mins from downtown Ft. Lauderdale) but the more private beach, great staff & well maintained rooms more than make up for it. It may not look amazing from the outside as you drive by but once you're inside the gates it's amazing, truly a great atmosphere for backpackers and holiday makers alike.
First ever time at a hostel, so did not know what to expect. Only stayed for one night, so cannot give a good review. That being said, the manager was nice, rooms were clean, and the bathroom was spotless.
Excellent place! Clean, quit. A nice place to be. Staff are very friendly.
Pricey for a hostel but well worth it. It felt safe, was clean, and was right next to the beach. I was lucky enough to snag a room for 5 girls last minute after other plans fell through. Staff was friendly & incredibly accommodating--gave us great local advice, made sure we all roomed together, & even stored our luggage between check-ins. If we stayed longer we would've certainly used the pool, the laundry machines, & the kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!
For my first time in a hostel I was impressed they go to "great lengths" to keep it sanitary at all times. The only issue is parking because of the location of the building. Very adult oriented people with common sense. If you like loud party atmosphere go to South Beach this isn't for you. If you need to just relax and chill this is your place.
Best hostel I have been in Florida. It is very very very clean and well taken care off.
Guests and staff were all very friendly and the whole time I was there I felt more like I was staying with extended family and not in a hotel. Most of the guests were "grown up" so there were no loud parties or music after hours and you can get a good sleep at night.
The beach is just a few blocks away. There is Win-Dixie and Walgreens within walking distance and a few bars. (Dive bar). The bus stop is right in front so you can ride to downtown easily.
The hostel has a small yard with a swimming pool where you can relax at night. Beer and wine are allowed but no hard liquor.
There are also free beach chairs and bike rentals. There is also limited parking space available.
The staff were friendly, polite, and accommodating.
The 4-bed dorm was clean and smelled nice.
There was a communal area which included a microwave, fridge, stove top oven, plenty of cooking/eating implements, a TV, seating with charging ports, and numerous free condiments and other less perishable food items which had been left behind and organised by the staff.
There were lockers (about the size of a toaster), though you would need to provide your own lock or purchase one for $5.
My only complaint was that the shower temperature varied between "kind of cold" and "holy s***, this is freezing" (hence the 4 star review).
Overall, a positive experience at a very affordable price.
