Having stayed in Viajero in Colombia, I leaned toward this option to save money for a solo weekend business trip during Art Basel. As a female, I booked the 6-bed, all- female dorm for about $10 more than the mixed room, which for safety and comfort, in my opinion, is worth it. The room was clean and I liked that it had a private bathroom in the room that the women all shared.
Pros: 24/7 front desk, cute pool, fun lobby hang out area, weekly activities listed on calendar in lobby, available tables and chairs on patio in front to eat and hang outside, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In the heart of South Beach, the beach is 2 min away, great shops and restaurants around (24/7 restaurant, Azteca, literally on the corner)
Cons: parking. There is virtually zero street parking, but I found a municipal lot 2 blocks away (do not park in a private lot, use only municipal lots that charge $20 max for 24 hours!- others will charge you $40+ per day). I felt this was reasonable for a 24 hour period.
Soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided- I used my own towel.
Overall, I had a great 2-night stay and saved a ton for what hotels in this area cost during Art Basel. Love me some Viajero!
