This place is absolute magic. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It's not for everyone, but if you're a outgoing person who loves nature, good vibes, and super awesome hosts, this is the place for you!

location

Local people live there, no traveler vibes, the neighborhood area is one of the most dangerous in Florida

I booked here because I only wanted and needed the bare necessities to get me by for a day while I stayed in Florida City for my 2-day vacation. It did meet those needs successfully and I did not have any issues with coming into the hostel and leaving.

The most frustrating thing about the hostel was the poor condition of the doors. After having my card scanned at my door, I had to pull in and then push out quickly just to open the door, and this could take many tries. If I was someone elderly, this could've been extremely exhausting. The bathroom doors had vacant/open locks on them, but on each of the two main bathrooms either the top or bottom lock did not work, since at least one lock did work you could lock the door, but not without unnecessary anxiety from both the inside or outside. From the outside of the bathroom, you had to learn that even if the closed part of one of the locks barely showed, it was locked and someone was inside. Another issue was that there were no paper towels provided in the bathrooms, which left you to either use your own towel, your pants/shirt or leave with wet hands after using the sink. The final issue came with my tour of the hostel. When on the tour, I was given the impression by my guide that the only showers were public, this is not the case--do not worry. But it left me extremely caught off guard and disappointed until I discovered that there were showers in the bathrooms inside the building that you could use without worrying about someone walking in behind you while you are unaware. The final issue was something that can't really be fixed but was just the building that was chosen to build a hostel in. The stairs to the second floor are extremely narrow and treacherous and are major falling hazards.

best hostel for this price for traveling alone. near to everglades natl. park next to ROBERT IS HERE fruit market next to GATOR BITES

Converted hotel into hostel, so each room has its own bathroom, although there were like 10 people in bunk beds in my room. Has helpful staff and they do a good job keeping the place including bathrooms clean. The location is near cheap eats and you can walk to nicer restuarants at Florida City downtown if you want. Very convenient if you want to explore Key West (a semi-direct bus leaves right across the street from the hostel). Also easily walk to downtown Florida City to take the free buses to Everglades and water parks on weekends during summer. Direct bus from South Miami stops across street from hostel.

It is a hostel, so everything is what you expect a hostel to have.....so no compliant. Although the swimming "pool" is really a fountain pool, but the back is big and open and good place to hang out.

This is an awsome place. The best place to stay in florida city with regards to price ...

There was some drama between long term clients at first, for the most part all is quiet and peaceful

Friendly staff, nice and very clean room, many outlets next to beds

The kitchen was not well equipment nor clean.

The shower in that 1st room was clogged with nasty water from someone showering and I had to shower with my feet in it. Very squeamish.

The atmosphere is relaxing. Staff is friendly and helpful. The guests rooms are comfortable and the outdoor area is so much fun.

Love the grounds and the nice bathroom in our room.

Didn't really understand breakfast. It didn't happen on our stay. I guess we make our own pancakes? But I didn't know where any of the ingredients were.

This is an older property built in the '40s that they are constantly improving. I stayed in a private room with a shared bath for one evening. It worked out perfectly for me. The staff was super friendly and gave me a tour of the unique property. Great rates, clean room uniques setting. It was a nice diversion. I really enjoyed touring the grounds and the tree house was cool.

Nothing at this time. The property is older but clean. Repairs are ongoing. If one does not mind something unique nice choice. It is not a new property but the character and the staff make up for it. I enjoyed.
