    STAINS ALL OVER THE BED SHEETS!!!

    Do NOT book this hotel!!! I repeat. Do NOT book this hotel!!! It was the nastiest hotel I've ever been to. There's one thing to be aged, but this hotel is disgusting. From the moment we walked in, there's a feeling of filth that came over us. We immediately went to the bed to check if the sheets were clean and they weren't. They were stains all over the sheets and bed bugs within the mattress. Then, after complaining to the front desk, I was given another room. SAME!! I couldn't believe it. I requested a refund because they was no way I could stay at such a deplorable location, and was told i needed to check the cancellation policy for a refund. I called for weeks to speak to a manager who is never at the hotel and no one else could assist me because my credit card had already been charged, it was a straight nightmare and not a place that anyone should book for vacation!!

    So let me say first I completely understand this property is, well we just say aged. I checked reviews before booking and it was a mixed bag so i took a shot. So I made my reservation the night before my stay and was told I could check in at 3pm the following day. I arrived with family in tow and was informed it would be another hour. Ok shit happens. So I came back and while waiting to check in, a guest came in and was going off because she couldn't get her $50 deposit back. Few minutes later the police arrive. All of this going on in the lobby. Get in the room and..... Have you ever walked in somewhere and felt instantly dirty? Only 2 wash rags in bathroom, food stains or something on the curtains, buttons missing off of the phone, mold and trim missing, broken lamp, no outlets, walls are filthy. After my 8 year old granddaughter walking on the floor for 10 minutes I made her go wash her feet and put shoes back on. Picture of the rag afterwards included among other. I haven't checked out because they won't refund my money and we are flying out early in the morning.

    Regla D.

    This place is a total disappointment, I got there and my room wasn't ready then when I did get my room the AC was unplugged from the AC And the room was hot it was really dirty also the staff came in-and-out of the room trying to fix the refrigerator without a mask, during all of these pandemics on top of it there was mold on my toilet paper and they didn't acknowledge any of these things, management contacted by bookings dot com and refuse to help me get any type of discounts or credits and the manager there says that none of these things happened which is a lie because it was brought up to the attention of the people who worked there the staff during my Saturday and Sunday visits which we left early on Sunday Because we couldn't take the noise and we couldn't take the disappointment of such a waste of our money and time we had no beach access which we thought we were going to be able to at least go to the ocean and we weren't able to it was a total disappointment dirty and this meant dirty and has really weird people staying in the hotel at the same time that I would not recommend anybody with family coming here or anybody in general save your money and go to a better place that will have clean toilets running refrigerators and at least a coffee maker that makes coffee and not something that doesn't even look like coffee looks like water so that's the basics on what happened in my situation I can only pray for somebody who Comes from out of state and thinks that oh this is gonna be the best day ever and you know what it isn't it's the worst place to go to and I do not recommend and I would never come back here again even if it was free.

    I've stayed in hostels around the world. This place is hands-down, the worst run, sketchiest,…read moredirtiest one I have ever run across. Unbelievably, horridly run place. Why five stars? So this review would stand and be read. Bikini Hostel deserves one star, or less. In fact, shut it down. It was free for me because they tried to use my credit card to buy pizza and Bank of America refunded all my money due to fraud. The police might as well be on staff - the cops come at least twice a night. I was there 3 nights. Each morning they locked me out of my room, and once took all my stuff. The lockers didn't work either - that was part of the CC fraud case. And don't bother asking for your deposit back. It's so messed up I saw the receptionist take a drunk guys money, give him beer, then call the cops to haul him away for being drunk. He was yelling "PUSSIES!!!!" As the cops shoved him in the car. Unreal. For real, everything is so upside down I'm not sure the experience WAS real. That said, I met some great folks staying there just looking for a good time. I'm gonna stay in touch with a couple. A lifetime of stories in 3 days. Absolutely whacked place. I left yesterday and have already forgotten some shit. It's super cheap and overpriced.

    I was there since October 2023. Not clean, not a place for families to visit, Restrooms are dirty…read more Better to have a restroom in your own hotel room rather than sharing in the hallways. Downhill management. Never go back to those places. If you see that hostel. Do not spend your night and waste your money there. That place is a waste. They charge for your luggage and locker. I don't care for that place. When you drive by, do not stop at that place. And find a better hotel somewhere or another place around there. Like I said. Stay away from that place.

This time tent camping was no longer an option, we bought a room for $113/night it was a bunk style hostel room with the bare necessities, it was clean enough although there was a huge clump of hair in the shower but the vibe has totally changed. There were zero fellow travelers, seems everyone who was here was an elderly local who lived at the hostel. This gives it a completely different feeling. No more community feel, no more excitement about adventures in southern Florida, no more community breakfast, didn't feel like a hostel felt more like a monthly pay run down motel. The amount of smoking was also oppressive and could and infiltrated the inside. The backyard is still pretty, although things could use some love and attention- much is in disrepair. Cute rabbits and cats and sweet elements of some of its former magic but I feel the owner needs to decide if it's a hostel for travelers or a monthly motel because it makes a huge difference in comfort and interaction with other guests and the overall experience. In addition at $113 a night can no longer afford a multi day stay. Sadly won't be back.

After two nights in a premium private room, spending over 400+ in 24 hours, I regret every single penny spent here. After my first experience and night, I wanted to give them another chance. Boy did I regret it. I'll never return. Certain staff have a nasty arrogant service approach. If you want a great location with rude and indecent staff, sure, stay here. When you try to do the right thing to express your dissatisfaction, 3x, in a single stay, yet no-one takes responsibly, don't be surprised. I have reasonable expectations, but I certainly didn't expect to return for a SECOND night in a private room, to be treated the same way. They'll state the bar management is separate than the "hostel" management/owners, which is likely true, but there's no excuse for the REPEAT rudeness and disrespect from staff within the SAME building. The sad part, I liked this place for a whole few hours, until I started spending more money and MORE inexperienced staff, who clearly are UNDER-trained to deliver average service. For my second night in a private room, approx 150 dollars again, I nearly waited 10 minutes at an empty desk. Then, I went to get a drink, only to experience the same as I did earlier in the day when I left, only to give them another chance due to location. That is when I tried to express my suggestions and calm feedback, only to be told my one of the managers/owners (of one of the establishments) that it was my fault. No, this is where wrong becomes more wrong. It's no surprise that the waitress and bartender came at me with negative comments, right infront of one of the manager, the same one who practically blamed me. I had to ask that he get me a drink, because of the CHIP on the shoulders here. No surprise that they're sitting at a table together, drinking together. So yes, if you want a cheap place to stay, with 1 star service, even for a private room, then stay here. Highly disappointed. I appreciate and think Christina is great, Sofia was one of the rude employees of the bar, but not the hostel I guess. Yet they're sitting together and I tried to make things right earlier today, by trying to make things right, as the CUSTOMER. Nope. I think I've only written 2-3 YELP reviews, ever. But this experience called for it 100%. The only positive experience I had was with Christina, who took my ID my first night while a transfer from one account to another for business occurred. It's one thing to not understand decent service and be from aboard, which my parents are as well, but the name of "international hostel" is no excuse for ridiculous and disrespectful service. Hopefully this review will make things better for them and I hope others never experience what I did. The place is clearly popular but I can't settle decent human respect for cost, even at paying cost and spending hundreds here.

    The bartender is very nice and super friendly. Great prices for drinks. Especially for south beach.read more
