I’ve stayed at this hostel many many times over the years and it is still fantastic! super clean, really friendly staff nice atmosphere. you get a free breakfast, it’s Nothing fancy but it does the trick. I’ve never had an issue staying here. I highly recommended it! My only Disappointment in my last stay after paying for 3 nights I needed to put my bags in storage for less than two hours, and they wanted to charge me for that.

Don’t remember the last time I climbed into the top bunk. I’m not the social butterfly, so I mainly stayed to my room or the library. I will consider staying here again the next time

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
