Hostels in Florida, United States

On Balance Gilberts was ok but I would not want to stay more than a couple of days. We where probably not its target customers. The rooms where really nice with a great view but my sister was at the end of the block right by the sewage digester for the resort which made a humming noice which was audible in the room at night, it also smelt really bad in the mornings. Admiralty this could only be smelt outside the room. Suggestion screen the digester and put some filtration for the odour. Plus point they treat the sewage. Thursday night was Ok in the bar although the rock band thought they where playing a stadium, just way too loud, when they stopped and some normality returned the bar shut at 2100, Friday and Saturday, better music but the place was rammed with a lot of kids running around. We would have gone out but the resort is isolated and its almost impossible to get a cab, if you do its very expensive and no guarantee you can get one back. If you have a nominated driver than getting out is an option. Saturday the beach, the bar where just full to bursting, first stop on the Keys out of Miami. A lot of very drunk people having a good time which is fine but if you are not one of them its no fun at all. A visible police presence kept any potential trouble from happening. We where going to go to the pool but there was no room left in the water never mind the side. It is supposed to be for residents and they are supposed to ware a wrist band but that is not enforced, very few in anyone had a wrist band on. In short its not a bad place but don't go if you want a relaxed Keys vibe, stay away from the rooms at the end of the block and only go midweek but only do that if you want to be in bed at 2100. Good points, comfortable rooms, nice views, and very nice staff.

It was a great location in Miami Beach. It has a pool and I liked it all. I stayed in a dorm. The bed sheet wasn’t the cleanest but that’s the only thing to criticize.

100% this for the solo traveler, not for families. Great location has its pitfalls from random people hanging out late nights and you're in location of construction going on around you. No security on site.

This was a nice surprise. The location was awesome and accessible to everything that I did over the few days. I was there the hammocks the beach, the pool, the paddle boards, kayaks everything made it well worth staying. The staff were friendly.. parking was abundant. And even though it was on route one, it was set off the road and quiet.

Nice stay. We had a queen room at the back of the building, so it was relatively quiet. Not a large room, but spacious enough for my husband and I. The rooms are renovated to update an old motel and they did a good job with the theme of the pink tropical flamingo to lean into that retro esthetic. Shower was nice. Only downside was that the room had a bit of a musty smell. When we arrived the sheets were damp. Not sure of it was high humidity which caused it, but we contacted the support staff and they resolved it promptly, having the on-site housekeeping staff bring new sheets. There is also a dehumidifier in the room, so it does seem like something they are addressing. Was also excited about the coffee machine in the lounge room as other reviews had noted for a quick cup of decent coffee on the go. I was satisfied with the fresh espresso, but my husband was a little disappointed that their machine wasn't making the milk based drinks properly (probably out of milk for the days we were there?) And had to use artificial milk/creamer instead. All and all a 4/5 stars stay.

For the price it was more than adequate considering the area, and parking was free!!

Great hotel, very cozy. All entertainment and attractions are nearby, but the hotel itself is not noisy. Good breakfast, happy hour in the evening with wine, cheese and snacks. If there is not enough space for parking near the hotel, then a couple of blocks away you can park for $ 15 per day. Of the nuances - noisy air conditioning in the room and a dirty pool (lots of leaves).

El hotel es viejo si, es muy grande por eso. Tiene parking gratis. La gente que verás aquí, es gente más humilde ( también por su precio económico) en la habitación verás los muebles viejos y la limpieza podría ser mucho mejor. Pero para mi sorpresa, la cama es cómoda y las sábanas limpias. Por suerte no me encontré ningún “ animalito “ y eso hace más fácil mi estancia aquí. Tampoco es ruidoso a pesar de que haya tanta gente. La ubicación si estás más en medio “ de la nada “ pero está bien. Y es con tasas incluido así que bien, depósito te piden 100€. PARA LLEGAR Y SOLO DORMIR, esta bien.
