Mixed feelings about this place.. Got a great deal on Hostelworld but sometimes you get what you pay for. Was kicked out early and had the cops called on me for packing my bags before a flight. read more

A friend of mine stayed here and had extended her reservation. When she returned later that day, her belongings had been removed from the dorm and she was told she would need to leave due to alleged rule violations. She disputes the claim and was not given a meaningful opportunity to resolve the situation before being asked to leave. We reached out to management afterward but were unable to resolve the matter. Travelers relying on clear communication during their stay may want to keep this in mind. read more

Very bad service at the reception. They are illegals working there and asking americans to provide a return ticket back home before check in. what a joke! read more

Great location for walking to restaurants & shopping. There was no auto parking provided for this hostel. There is hourly on street parking & a parking building 2 blocks away. It was clean. The price for one bed in a room of 6 is low so that's the main benefit of course. You are provided a thin towel & bedding but not even soap. The bunk beds are the inexpensive, lightweight, tubular ones so whenever anyone turns over in the lower bunk bed it felt like a quake in the upper bunk. There is a bathroom with shower for the 6 roommates & a sink in the room. It's advertised as having alcoholic beverages at the bar but that wasn't open in December, 2024. The staff are nice but most don't speak English. Make sure you observe the bed number you're assigned if you're new to hostels or they charge a fee. read more

Great value for where it is located. So close to the beach. We rented a two-bedroom private room w ensuite and were impressed. Some areas for improvement: check-in was super SLOW, maybe have guests sign the waiver online before arrival? The bathroom in our room had a constant wet funk smell to it and most of the outlets did not work. And housekeeping only comes on request which wasn't explained to us. Otherwise, staff were friendly and helpful. And the room had AC (a must!) and lots of windows to let in the sun. Would stay again. read more

Update 6/3/22: The hostel has decided to remove me from the premises as Tropical Storm Alex hits Miami, due to the below review. I am appalled at "Beds'N Drinks" hostel for this decision, and will never return, regardless of their future renovation status. It feels criminal at worst, and incredibly petty at best. The owners of this establishment should be concerned about continuing to use Equity Point Management. Luckily I have been able to book at Generator Hostel nearby. It is such a huge improvement, and I'm so glad to now be at Generator. Original Review: This was sold to me as the best solo traveler hostel, full of lively activities, but that seems to be a lie. The worthwhile events (hotdog parties, movie screenings, back patio and bar, nightclub crawls, etc) are all cancelled due to "renovations." This is not apparent on the website, or HostelWorld listing, anywhere. This fact lowers this property from a fun place to meet people and do things to a very lame place. It is close to the beach, but so is literally every other hostel in Miami Beach. Do not recommend. read more

First time at a hostel. It was a great experience and recommend this place regardless of your age. Well kept premises with washer and dryer's new by the way. You pay a tiny amount for security deposit but they send it back to you after a few days. read more

Only beds, no drinks (the bar area was not open at all). Staying here was okay but I wouldn't do it again. That being said I don't think I would stay in any hostel again. Pros: -pretty cheap -they have beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas you can take to the beach for free -check in anytime -close to the beach Cons: -no drinks -so many of the outlets in the room didn't work -kinda gross (doesn't seem like they do deep cleans) -some of the staff clearly hated their job The free breakfast isn't great, but it's not the worst (oatmeal, yogurt, nutrigrain bar, and fruit). There are lockers in the dorms BUT YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN LOCK! (or buy one from the desk for $10). It was a fine place to stay but overall just wasn't worth it. I would rather pay a little more and stay in a hotel or airbnb read more

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I had a booking for 4pm, got here at 4pm waited 1hr40min on a line so the girl at reception would tell me that she couldn't find me in the system so I should wait MORE to get my room, that it wouldn't be "1 hour wait probably" even that I waited already almost 2 hours!!! I have a plane to catch at 10pm in fort lauderdale, just did the reservation to take a shower and rest. she didn't tried to help me or solve my problem, she was disrespectful laughing when I turned my back on her to wait at the lobby! I am 100% disappointed, cheap place but even cheaper service!!!! NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY! AWFUL, waiting at the lobby feeling like shit and tired af, but what can we do if the system wouldn't update right?!?!? UPDATE: 2:30 hours wait to get my room, still waiting for the manager to arrive. UPDATE: I left after waiting 3 hours for a room and for the manager to arrive, and today 17th I got charged for the room I never got! read more

Beds N' Drinks - Hostels Near Me - Miami, Florida

Ive stayed in a hostel a couple time but the sheets of this hostel smells a Clorox very strong, I've couldn't sleep in the whole night, was terrible and I found some hairs on the sheets, was disgusting read more

Note: I will like to add that this has been the only time where I had a "strong disagreement" with the staff everywhere else I stayed it was fine. So don't take this review as representative of my experience in hostels. I've stayed in other hostels for 14 days and never had any issue. You guys feel free to read my other reviews. read more

Staff here is very welcoming, humble and hard working. Highly recommend the breakfast's that they offer. All the bartenders are are cool. Don't forget to leave a tip!. read more

I stayed in the girls dorm. The check in was painless. $10 for the key card & towel deposit. I was given a number to hang on the bed of my choosing. The room seemed fairly clean. My bed was sandy though. It was comfortable enough & I didn't get any bites. The bathroom tile looked like there is some funky growth - Hard to tell because of the color of the tiles. They don't provide locks for the locker. Be sure to bring your own or there's a large CVS down the road. Breakfast was in a box: Bagel, yoghurt & banana. Towel can only be changed after 5 days otherwise it costs $1 per change. Great location. Round the corner from Lincoln Street Mall & 10 minutes walk from Ocean Drive & the beach. Good price for the location. The shuttle service is a little expensive compared to Super Shuttle so check them out first. read more

This place was okay. The rooms were clean - I had a private room. The breakfast was a hard bagel in a bag and not fresh coffee ... The staff was pretty unprofessional as they kept cursing at the front desk. It was uncomfortable. The location of this place was conveniently located near the beach. I would say that is worth the 3 stars. read more

Exceeded my expectations of a hostel. I've never stayed at one before, so this was a new experience for me. My boyfriend and I checked in at around 7am and checked out at 11am. We landed at MIA at 5:30am this morning, our hotel at the Henrosa was not ready until 1pm, so we needed a place to crash for the time being. The woman that checked us in was so nice and helpful! We called 3 other hostels before we called Bed N' Drinks, all the other ones denied us "check-in" at 7am because their check in time was 3pm. When the front desk woman answered at the Bed N' Drinks, she was immediate to offer a check-in at this hour with the same rules applying (a check-out at 11am). We walked over from our original Hotel and were able to get into our beds in about 5 minutes! About $33 each, which is AMAZING considering we could have paid $100+ for a regular hotel. The actual rooms are nice and neat. We were with 2 other men (co-ed dorm) so it was just the 4 of us. They were very courteous and quiet when leaving and entering the room and when they were packing. The bed was so comfy too. Only a regular blanket but that worked for us!!! would TOTALLY recommend this place. We missed the free breakfast because we were so tired, but would have loved to try it out! Check this place out!!!!!! read more

COCKROACHES wasn't even the worst thing!.....Not one amenity was provided as described. No shuttle as advertised, Breakfast consisted of Tap Water and Toast. The facility was in complete disrepair, the bar was not open and the common "kitchen" area was nonexistent. The patio was not cleaned and covered in vomit. Room 207 was infested with Cockroaches. Front Desk was "unable" to provide any service recovery without a manager. Not only was there no manager for 3 days straight, but there also has not been a manager available for the past 10 days. We checked out after the 1st night, were promised the have the 2 remaining nights refunded, They have not. They also kept the security deposit claiming we did not return our keys, we returned them when we spoke to the front desk clerk. read more

Hi, Do not stay here. Roaches, Rats, and bed bugs are viable present. Staff on site doesn't clean or provide security, Guests had to call police to get squatters out of their rooms. No response from management Josy Miranda for a month after stay. Very, Very poor experience start to finish, awaiting contact information for EquityPoint how runs property on who to escalate this to. read more

Had a wonderful time. Had the cherry hookah and pitcher of tequila and pineapple juice. The bartender was hilarious. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Met some people from Paris and London. We talked and laughed the night away. I got sleepy so I handed over my liquor and hookah to my new friends in Paris and we left. Will be returning read more

Had to wait over an hour at 3pm for check in. Tried to check in at 2:45 but was told check in was only at 3, which then took over an hour due to everyone trying to check in and the place being staffed by one person. Possibly the most inefficient place I have ever attempted to stay at. This ruined our afternoon plans and absolutely no concessions or concern about it from the employee. read more

This was the most disgraceful place I have ever stayed in. First of all, there were 8 people in the room. This number was constant even though people were constantly leaving and coming. My group came and witnessed some food that was on a small table in the room. By the end of our stay, none of the original people were there, yet the food was still there, and it had started molding. The floors were extremely dirty, and one could not walk barefoot without the bottom of your foot turning black. The hostel was supposed to provide a cleaning serviice, but that never happened. Day in and Day out, we saw people come and leave yet no one ever changed the sheets, they merely came in and remade the bed. If you are staying here! BEWARE! Also, there was a great infestation problem. All types of bugs were in the hotel. From roaches, ant, and mosquitos. It was absolutely nasty. The hotel workers are especially rude. One worker made us bribe him so that we could claim the bed we actually booked because the hostel had been overbooked. Worst stay of my life. I WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN NOR WILL I RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS. Several people staying at the time of our stay felt the same way. read more

This place has equal no of pros and cons. Pros: very close to ocean drive, small beds but good enough place to rest at night, we stayed there for two days and were in the room only for 8 to 10hrs and this is best for that reason.. you don't need to pay for fancy hotels which you might not use unless you have other plans Cons: You are not allowed to have @ hotel room except in common area which is very small only 4 ppl can fit in that tv room which is always occupied!! We dint have a place to do pre game before we left to our reserved party place!! Because of this we are forced to buy at the bar if we have to use the patio!! So you guys might need to know this!! Anyways it was a first time experience for us!! read more

I have stayed in many hostels around the world. Almost all of my stays has been a positive experience until I tried to check into this pretentious and pseudo cool vibe hostel. Here, I encountered the most rude front desk people. The front desk person did not allow me to check in because he didn't like my attitude and assured me that my booking was cancelled by the hostel itself. He also said that I would not be charged. When I asked for his name, he said, "You don't need to know my name, now get out of here." To encounter such blatant disregard for someone who has been traveling all day and witness such hostility from someone in hospitality was shocking. To add insult to injury, My card was charged twice by this property after which I was finally refunded the money after I contacted the reservation team. Unfortunately a month after the booking, they are still trying to charge my card, lying to the booking.com saying I checked in and checked out. I called the hostel to resolve this, Then the manager Ana had the audacity to say I was lying, that she was there when the encounter happened. I clearly remember her being in the office when all this happened. She hung up the phone on me soon after. I can't believe people like this exist let alone work in hospitality. Dealing with this hostel has been a nightmare since day one. They are clearly very disorganized since the management team doesn't seem to have the knowledge that I was refunded the money by their own reservation team. Save yourself the headache and stay at much travel friendly and true hostels like Freehand, SoBe and Miami. read more

As the other reviewer said, only beds, no drinks. The bar is closed and there are minimal common areas for mingling. The worst thing was that I had absolutely no reception, even when connected to the wifi. There also are not planned social events as advertised on the websites, which is what many people look for in hostels. You were pretty much left on your own to figure out what to do. It was a bit dirty and although housekeeping came around they should really do a deep clean. The free breakfast is also lame, just a granola bar, yogurt, and oatmeal packet. read more

Worst Hotel to stay at Not because of the location not because of the cleanliness but BECAUSE OF THE EMPLOYEES!! So rude so they do not know how to talk to paying guest the manager told me to shut my 3 year old up. I booked 2 weeks in advance and they told me I had to show proof of a flight to stay or else my stay will be canceled and my refund will be declined for the full amount I contacted the property several times and you have to call over 4 times in a row before someone rudely answers and won't even give you there name DONT STAY HERE read more

Great hostel and well priced. I have just some few complaints that I will name right away. The first one is about the towels. They are old beach towels. I also saw them using them to clean the floors when there was water from the air condition which didn't make me super comfortable. If you want to be sure, bring your own towel. The other thing is that you don't get a sheet that protects you from the blanket. Meaning the blanket has touched I don't know how many bodies before you. Could be smart to bring this too. Apart from that it was quite clean and pleasant. The people working there were friendly and helpful and always came up with solutions. The crowd staying there was a mix of early twenties until mid thirties so you had a wide range of ages. Mostly people were in their early to late twenties I would say. The location couldn't be better. Very close to all the shops, restaurants, bars and beach. The hanging areas were nice and full of people all the time so you had always someone to talk to. I would definitely stay there again. read more

I have now stayed at 10+ hostels from all around the world. Honestly, I don't think I've had a dreadful experience yet. Here's what you're getting with Beds N' Drinks 1) Great Value. Have you SEEN HOTEL PRICES IN SOUTH BEACH!!? If you're traveling alone or you're not with a huge group, try getting a bed for the price you get at beds n drinks. 2) Big spacious dorm rooms. Each dorm had a common area with a sink, mirror, and lockers, a shower room, AND a toilet room..and of course the room with the beds in them. That's right. Each DORM gets all of that. Not too shabby. I loved that. 3) You get a free drink! Booya! Full-time bar in the main lobby with friendly bartenders Cons? 1) Common area is just average. I've seen some crazy fancy common areas with pool tables, pianos, books, games, etc. This one is simply a lobby with a bar. Perhaps the "common area" is the front porch area.... i know when i book a hostel I like to mingle with guests (and i still did don't get me wrong). I'm just saying don't expect a crazy fancy bonding room. That's the only con I can think of? I stayed here for 1 night and I would definitely stay here again. I met a few people in the short span I was there, got a good night sleep (although 3 bro's had cell phone alarms go off at night...come on man!), had a good shower, got a free beer.... good job Beds n Drinks. read more

Solid hostel. The building and rooms are really new & renovated. I stayed with friends in a 6 bed room-- they're bunk beds with a bathroom in the room. The bathroom was very new and big. We were originally staying 3 nights but asked to cancel the last night & they obliged, so points for that. Also, even though you must check out at 11am, they hold your bags until 5pm, which is really nice. There's a nice patio in the back and also one in the front where you can chill & smoke. There's a bar in the lobby. They give each person a free drink coupon which is nice. The staff is competent enough & not completely unfriendly. The location is great, it's a block and a half from the beach. There's a liquor store two blocks away and it's in walking distance to the main Lincoln Ave strip of restaurants. Good place to stay for a few nights, definitely! read more

Bar: nice and stylish bar with pleasant and helpful staff! Greetings to likeable Kristina:) We had there some beers sitting in the relaxed terrace. Enjoyable guests, too. Check out their weekly events, like Club crawl, volleyball, ... I would book it next time. read more

Beds N' Drinks - Stylish bar! - Hostels Near Me - Miami, Florida

My first hostel experience was here at beds and drinks Miami and probaly will be my last. The place is invested with roaches.. if you don't mine that sort of thing then you'll be fine. Close to beach and night life. read more

PROS - The location is fantastic & there's a small bar on-site with friendly bartenders. Rooms were reasonably clean. Linens, blanket, and towel provided. En suite bathrooms. A public bathroom is available free-of-charge, which is great if your room isn't yet ready & you want to hit the beaches. CONS - You have to pay to store luggage, even if only waiting for your room to be readied. Related: they are adamant about not checking in before 3pm, even if rooms are ready. Desk staff seem very apathetic (though I notice this fair is endemic to all of Miami Beach), and I have no idea what else you get with your booking because at no point did he give any spiel to that effect (I see from other reviews that they have breakfast? This is news to me). Leaving luggage means "placing it by a closet door", where on one occasion the bags were still sitting out unwatched fifteen minutes later. Owing to that the closet is unlocked & the staff aren't very attentive, I was able to walk in and get stuff from my bags without anyone asking who I was & what I was doing. In your room: lockers don't seem to have any locking mechanisms and I didn't spot anywhere to install a padlock. Room security is controlled by electronic card, which is good, but raises the question of why you must also wear taped wristbands (we were told it was for security, but I promptly took mine off -- I loathe things on my wrists -- and no one ever seemed to notice. (admittedly a minor gripe, but in such a sunloving area: these wristbands are but one more source of tanlines) Noise is a MASSIVE issue here, with what seems to be a partier culture (hence I had very noisy bro-y roommates) and you hear every sound made from the floor above. The shower was only capable of becoming lukewarm. I had to take very quick showers to avoid getting too cold within the stall. The pillows are thick, which is great for some but less so for those of us who prefer thin pillows. The beds are perhaps on-par for a typical hostel dorm, but in combination with everything else I've listed: I tossed and turned all night, and upon waking up I spent the next 3 days with a thrown-out back. read more

I've traveled to 10 different countries in the world and have stayed in many different states in the US and this is probably the worst place I've ever stayed in. Main issues: 1) Not safe - People just come and go when they please. There was a guy that was following me around and there was no security to report it to. There was one girl staying in my room that was hiding from management because she hasn't paid for a couple of nights. If they let someone like that stay in the room, how can I be sure that my things don't vanish? I left one day earlier than what I paid for because I really didn't feel safe. 2) Cheap - They don't even provide napkins for breakfast and are disgruntled when guests asks for napkins. 3) Staff just don't care - One night I accidentally left my phone on the Lyft ride and they won't do anything to help me. They pointed at a drunk male guest near the reception and to ask him for help. That is so unacceptable. 4) Fraudulent - Never got my $20 deposit back even though I returned all three things (towel, room key, metal thing to mark your bed) and checked out 1 whole day early. Final verdict: Spend a few more dollars at a more reputable hostel that won't give you headaches. AVOID at all cost. read more

Hi. I have a reservation from 13 to 16 August but I have to cancel because my dog was bitten. Booling.com was willing to cancel without a fee but they called your hostel and your hostel said I had to pay the room for 3 nights anyway! This is the most inhumane thing, as I have a really sad emergency and moreover you still have time to book the room for someone else.. if you font cancel for free I will post in Twitter Facebook insta TripAdvisor, everywhere, so everyone knows how your 'cool' hostel is actually just one more inhumane machine of making money read more

First off, they tried to charge me a credit card fee of $10 even though I believe according to Florida laws this isn't allowed: https://www.cardsystems.com/2017/08/10/credit-card-surcharges-prohibited/ https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/ Second, I should mention that my friend and I were made to change rooms every single day, which amounted to twice, because of mix-ups on their part. I don't know if this is common or if they happened to be particularly disorganized the weekend I was there. Third, they seemed cheap and rigid in doling out breakfast. People were allowed one fruit item each, two tiny pancakes or slices of toast - everything was carefully apportioned, and you might need another breakfast soon thereafter. Fourth, keep in mind that when you make a reservation, the price does not include taxes, which come to 14%. This may be usual for hostel/hotel reservations - in which case, just a reminder. read more

Horrible staff, Do not stay here! They have disgusting attitudes. Each of them are unprofessional and they were trained such horrific behavior from the unpleasantly looking overweight supervisor. I'm speaking of the soulless self hating troll look a like that is the poor excuse of a manager. She denied me service because she was having a bad day I was not rude or using foul language. I understand she is having a bad day, as living with her face I'm sure most days are difficult. I never stayed, glad I didn't I smelled urine as soon as I walked in. I also overheard people complaining about door not locking. Huge safety hazard there. read more

We will definitely stay again. read more
