South Beach Rooms and Hostel

It is a hostel so you will get what you pay for. Unfortunately for me that meant missing the sunset because it took 40 minutes to check in despite being the only individual at the front desk. I can tell they do run things seriously and seem like decent people. However, I was charged a $20 security deposit that was never paid back and have to dispute with my credit card now. The location is absolutely prime and especially cheap so you should still consider staying here.

This place is not a good fit for relaxation if you’re on vacation or such as the air conditioning is weak and it was so hot I was nearly sweating in there everyday. The building is kind of old. The mural’s in there is nice. It took such a long time to check into the hostel every time and the front desk people lack any compassion. They kind of have an attitude. The skinny young white guy with glasses and black hair was so nice though. He deserves to be a manager. Jorge who works there is so sweet and nice and I will never forget his kindness.

The worst hostel ever. Stefan is a nightmare and admitted that the hostel does not nor never refund the $20 to their guests. The place is filled with roaches and derelicts. I left 3 days early and Stefan never checked me out or initiated my refund. All Stefan does is play video games. I called three times to speak with management who made me call back each and every time because their bookkeeping is a mess. I contacted my bank and officials about their business tactics. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! THERE ARE BETTER HOSTELS ON THE BEACH! This place IS NOT SAFE!

This is my second time staying here. It was a wonderful stay! Special thanks to Elias…he was the most hospitable & patient front desk agent! Thanks a million Elias for making our stay memorable & special from your kindness! Oriana & Graziella both were also very sweet & helpful upon check out. We’ll definitely be back for a stay when in the area!

I had a really disappointing experience here. First off, they have a no refund policy even if you cancel well in advance, which feels extremely unfair ,especially for travelers whose plans can change unexpectedly. On top of that, the room I stayed in was not as clean as advertised. There were visible stains and a general lack of upkeep that made the stay uncomfortable. To make matters worse, when I reached out to their customer support team, the response was slow and unhelpful. It felt like they were more interested in avoiding responsibility than actually addressing concerns. I rarely leave reviews, but I hope this helps others avoid the same experience. Definitely not worth the hassle or the money

I love this place. The employees are usually awesome and helpful and very kind. They were super accommodating when I asked to change rooms and very helpful. They have a kitchen for cooking and food storage and a large community room.

Great atmosphere with a nice size game room and lounge area with a pool table and activities. staff are very friendly and welcoming rooms are pleasant with plenty of space. vending machines for late night snacks and a block away from the beach 🏖️ I am enjoying my stay with the Real South Beach Rooms 👍

I didn't stay here but I found it online as nearby, to store my backpack while I went to South Beach to swim and walk around. Super convenient and fast. It was $5.60 well spent, I could leave my bag safely and go swimming for a couple of hours with complete peace of mind! Guy in reception was friendly and efficient. Great experience!

takes forever to check in or out ! It's hard to get the deposit back 20$. If you are Arab or Muslim , don't go Because this guy in the pits latterly told me "you are not welcome here " and nobody want Arabs here. Shame on you

I contacted this Hostel after booking with them on Hostel World's website. The manager & I spoke about the random charge of $73.96 to my checking account. Hosyep World's site quoted me $180+. The manager quoted me over $250. She told me that when I come to the Hostel, I would need to pay $190+ additionally. This was not stated on the site. These people exploit people who are coming to Miami for Art Basel. She told me the fee was non-refundable but under what grounds? That's not the price I was quoted on Hostel World. I made this booking at 3 in the am at that. I do not choose to do business with this hostel due to its deception. And I definitely don't want to deal with the racist manager with the nasty attitude that was on staff on morning shift on November 25th 2023. My stay was supposed to be at from December 5th to the 11th but I don't trust this establishment.

Don't come here!! Our stay was so bad we had to cut our stay short after staying here for a night. The reasons? The living stands were unacceptable and unsanitary. In the middle of the pandemic, you'd expect the hostel to have cleanliness standards but they didn't even have soap in the bathrooms. The worst part is, there were these disgusting worms in the bathroom sink and rendered the sink useless. It was beyond disgusting. I've never seen such a dirty hostel before. Because we cut our stay short, I've been ask for a refund but the front desk pushed the responsibility to contacting their email. I have not received a response yet and they have not given me a refund.

1 staff friendly but the others are the laziest staff i ve ever seen. Lazy, super to check in.. the room are nasty, we have a lot of cockroaches in our room. The staff put music so loud in the nighttime ... till 4am i couldn't sleep. The ac is super noisy too.. The only positive thing here is the location. The breakfasts is fast from 7h30 till 8h30 am. And not good. Price is too high for the cheapest quality. If you want to sleep with cockroaches Coming on your bed at night and pay 40$ per night for that go for it. Also rooms are smelly. Bathroom aren't clean, toilet broken.

Amazing time in south beach Clean safe price is very low with good breakfast LGBT friendly Awesome music Very Artistic

Arriving at this hostel was simply awful. The front desk girl was not welcoming, extremely unfriendly and nasty. Not sure why this person is employed in hospitality, other guests also mentioned how awful she was. She seems to be more of a liability to this place than help. I believe her name was Oriona. I will never return!

Very nice staff, I came in exhausted after a long flight delay and the receptionist put me in a more spacious room and gave me late check out. Everyone was super sweet and accommodating.

Absolutely horrible. I booked while browsing and attempted to cancel within the first 5 minutes. The receptionist assumed I didn't speak Spanish and attempted to talk in code to the owner. refused to cancel and waive the fees as well. The receptionist also imitated an Indian accent which was very racist and pretended not to hear me and acted as if there was no signal. I called with a different phone and the receptionist then spoke to me very normal until he realized I was the caller he tried to dodge. booking.com understood and were willing to offer me a full refund so long as the hotel responded and accepted the email in which the receptionist and owner refused. the owner insisted that I pay 80 dollars for a mistake I clearly and quickly attempted to handle. very rude, unprofessional and racist.

I stayed here for a grand total of 3 weeks. Plumbing issues, flooding basement and not to mention they never returned my $40 deposit. This hostel doesn't follow safety guidelines and runs its business unethically.
