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.

Great location. Walking distance to Duval street. plenty of parking in a clean neighborhood. Bike rentals on property if you don’t have a car. My 22 yr old daughter and I stayed in the Women’s only dorm. our room had two bunk beds , half bath and full bath. Each bunk had privacy curtains, mini fan, mini lamp, and outlet. Lockers available in courtyard but must bring your own lock. Laundry machines on site, kitchen area and refrigerate. Laid back, no frills but clean and comfortable. Would stay there again. Easy check-in and check out. no issues.

Basic room. Not the Ritz, but simple and quaint and in line with expectations. Towels could be nicer based on per night cost this is not a big ask.

Perfect stay
Excellent stay. We stayed in a motel room instead of the hostel. The room was very clean with a great bathroom, refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. There was a small parking area, and ample free on street parking. The motel rooms each have their own entrance. There is no lobby, you check in at a window. Check in was very easy and smooth. There is a beautiful courtyard with a kitchen and seating for guests to share. The location was quiet and convenient. Excellent stay. We'll be back next time we stay in Ket West.
