  • Every night while I was there, there was a lot of partying and talking going on, often into the wee hours of the morning, thus making it very noisy. Many of the lights weren't working and almost every room in the dorm-like apartment I've stayed in had black spots on the floor and my bed was extremely lumpy and hard-as-a-rock. I've checked-out early as a result. It was a slighty-clean, party-hardy place, to be very blunt.

  • One drawback. I paid $11 up front to get a confirmation for four nights. They took the $11, sent the confirmation and then took another $101 for the full price of my stay. I stopped payment on the $101. When I arrived, they insisted I pay the full amount in advance even though the $11 was to allow me to change my dates and length of stay if needed. They said the $11 was just for you guys and had nothing to do with any promisess. Long story short, I paid the $101 up front and had a great stay.

  • the place is very cool.is awesome. most importantly the two owners of the hostel. the columbian guy has avid music taste, playing a DJ during the day, and giving complimentary spanish language lessons during the night in his bedroom, which is a bonus. he's very acomodating. his partner is a very sweet girl.

  • This is not a hostel for people who expect high standards. But when that is said, I had the best three days in a hostel ever. The atmosphere was super nice and the people staying there very open and friendly. The staff was really friendly and relaxing. I'll definitely stay here again if I come back to Fort Lauderdale

  • Tale City Bus 1 from FLL airport and get off at the crossing of Burger King and CVS Pharcy and Dennys.. Lots of restaurants outside; even Dollar Tree in the Chase Bank plaza nearby. Good if you can cook. Just booked 25$ private male dormitory for two but was given 4 in a room NO towel so bring your own

  • Staff were late to check us in. Charged $5 for a deposit for the key and then tried not to give the deposit back. Charged twice on my card for the stay, once a week before I arrived and again when I got there. Still haven't been refunded. Will definitely not stay there ever again or recommend to anyone.
