If you can avoid it do not stay at this hostel. We arrived at 6.30pm and headed straight to our room and it was a complete mess. There was atleast 2 days rubbish by the bin, all 4 of our beds were not made up and one of them had food on them. We went down straight away to get... more

I had a really great stay at this hostel. The staff were friendly and very helpful, the atmosphere was cool and people were really friendly. I stayed at the hostel by myself and met loads of people and had a great time. The hostel is like 2 blocks from the beach which is awesome. The rooms were generally clean and... more

I've done a lot of traveling and stayed in a lot of hostels - in SE Asia and Australia especially, and I have never stayed anywhere as hideous as the Jazz Hostel in Miami. It's filthy, the beds and uncomfortable and had bedbugs and the front desk are next to useless. I booked to stay two nights but couldn't bear... more

I would not stay here again as this place is not organised. Even though I had booked in advance, when I arrived they did not have a bed available for me, and asked me to enter rooms at random at 2am to go find a bed that was available. After disturbing about 4 rooms of sleeping guests, I managed to... more

Stayed here for one night on a short vacation. I think the biggest problem was the terrible, disorganized, unappologetic staff. There was also a thick layer of black & white mold growing on the bottom of the shower curtain that physically made me gag. The shaky metal bunk beds & plastic covered matresses weren't great, but ok. It's an ok... more

This hostel was a mixed bag honestly. GOOD POINTS *clean and new (but plastic on beds) *Located in a quiet neighborhood *closest hostel to the BEST part of the beach (on 3rd ave) *free wifi (*usually* a decent signal strength) *organized activities (sunday BBQ, occasional nightclub at half price, fishing, etc.) BAD POINTS *unhelpful staff (indifferent attitude, didn't know how... more

The location is really good. But when we arrived there was not enough bed and there was no linen. The management finally put us in a 8 bed-dorm where we were alone. I don't get how they manage their hostel and how they cannot know who's in which room. more

We stayed at this hotel in December 2006. Pros: - Great Location (few minutes to walk to beach/shops) - Yummy breakfast - Nice clean room - Internet access - Good Price Cons: - No parking - No swimming pool Overall a nice hotel for the price.. we would stay here again! more

The hotel is in a great location for the Art Deco district - it's a five minute walk to the edge of Ocean Drive. We were unlucky with getting a car park pass, but the garage across the street were happy with some haggling which brought the price down for 2 days parking. We would recommend a car for Miami.... more
