A more affordable option for the area if you don't mind sharing space. 😇 Privates available. Female traveling alone. I felt safe. Place was basically quiet day and night. Other guests around but quiet and respectful. Staff friendly and efficient. New towel daily you dont have to rent 😀 It's not your typical youth hostel or party hostel but there are ops for socializing if you are up to it. I have stayed at hostels in Europe, Scandinavia, Caribbean and the US. I had no issues here. Ashtrays provided outdoors. There is a grill at the outdoor kitchen. Nice set up for group or roomie potluck/BBQ. Easy walk to nightlife, the popular Duval Street and nearby beach.

Piotr at front desk was very helpful.

other guest snore and make noises at night, no ear plugs available

Very clean

The rooms looked completely redone inside and it looked like they were about to refurbish the exterior. Accommodating staff!! We would totally stay there again.

A great place to stay if all you need is a bed and a bathroom. Very peaceful, more than you would think with so many people in one room. But everyone was just there to sleep.

A walkable to Duval street and other nearby properties. Rooms is small size, but good enough to stay. For the price definitely it is good for its location. A good for a short stay.

This little gem was perfect! The location is unbeatable, you are literally at the south end of Duval Street. Walking distance to anything, the store, restaurants, the ocean and the most southern point. Very quiet, shower and bed perfect. Hostel options here. Appeared to be very safe, cameras everywhere, 24 hour office person and a gate, by the office, is locked at 9 pm, key access only. Also an outside sitting area, outside kitchen area for use and multiple bike racks. Worth every penny!

People smoking weed inside the property through the night. Couldn’t sleep and had to checkout early to find a better place.

This place was cozy the only thing I struggled with was with the water temperature. The shower was extremely hot and I was only able to get a small drip of cold water which made it hard to shower. Aside to the water issue the place was really nice and clean!

Great location. Nice comfortable rooms.

Nicer room than I was expecting. We got there early and were still able to check in after a short wait.

My overall rating is excellent for the level of hotel. It was perfect for us, but I didn't need 5 Star or 5 Star pricing. We especially enjoyed being able to handle our golf cart through the front office. The attendant walked us to where we could park when all of the spaces were filled. We had a light go out and the staff was there promptly. Thanks.

It was clean and a great price!
