I like freehand Miami. They are very nice people. Friendly and kind, the rooms are clean and it always smells like lavender or something and its nice and pleasant. Only 3 minute wlak from beach and supermarket, cant complain. Pillows are soft and cozy, always someone at the desk and theyre always friendly. I like this place, been here 3 times. Will come back. Only annoying thing is security at night about alcohol. Its miami, take a chill pill. Other then that its great! Better property than some of other hotels i seen around here prettier and cheaper, pool is beautiful. I love freehand :)

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a “backpacker” type traveler. I prefer staying in hotels if/when I travel. However, compared to the other few hostels that I have ever stayed in, this one misses the mark. These are my reasons: - the bedding is not 100% clean. I often find stray hairs tangled in the knit bed cover -housekeeping does not clean the showers. Debris, hair strands, old razors, half used/empty shampoo & bidy wash bottles, dirty towels and used sticky bar soap all sat in the bathroom for weeks. I asked the housekeeper if they clean showers and she spoke no english -theres no rules or regulations governing what happens in shared rooms. Ive stayed in rooms where people seemingly do what they want-turn off the AC units or turn the temp up to 75 degrees, or hang their wet clothes from the AC unit obstructing air flow. Miami is a hot & humid city so lack of air flow is very uncomfortable for me. Many of the people that stay here do not speak english so trying to explain any of this is a waste of time or can lead to argument. -there are no fresh towels in the room obviously. You must go get a fresh towel from front desk. -no room service, kitchen or microwave to use I only stay here because its cheap. Front desk staff try their best but this property needs major improvements..

It was my first time there, nice place to stay, close to public transportantion, easy to arrive by bus from the Airport and ease to move around the area. I stayed in shared room, the only thing I can tell, beds should have a better courting or something to "cover" around while you are sleeping

Love the hostel feel and opportunities available to meet new people! Very respectful roommates and staff. LOVED the pool area and having the beach a few blocks away! Fantastic atmosphere, lots of individuals willing to enjoy Miami with others, food was tasty and fair priced. Dorm rooms had own bathroom with shower with privacy door. There are lockers (bring own lock) but I never felt more comfortable and safe and didn’t need to use them. Right on bus line that services Miami and airport. I chose to bypass a car rental to avoid parking as it’s scarce around Miami Beach strip. I was never at a loss of activities or new people to do them with! Great place to mingle and expand your travel experiences!!
