I stayed in a hostel in Miami Beach FL. I booked 2 weeks. I was discriminated a was thrown out half of my booking, and they will not refund my money for the 8 nights i paid for. Also they don't have to ammedies they claim to have listed on Expedia and their website.

I thought this place is gonna be accommodated in the beginning. They were towards the end of my stay there. They were very nasty with me stole money from me. I would never stay there now.

Not the best place to stay if you’re looking for an experience within the place 😳 but great to sleep, and go explore south beach. Love the area it’s located in though. And the staff is incredible, namely Edwin and Sammy! They deserve a raise! 👏👏

My two favorite workers Sammy and Edwin are always so kind and so sweet. They deal with a lot from guest and they handle it very well. They deserve a raise $$

Unlike alit of reviews this place was cool and the people were really fun. We had parties and dinners and the staff was always helpful. Great place to stay especially for the price. Close to free rides on the trolley too.

Trashy place
ALEXANDRIA
Our entire stay was very pleasant! Don't let the other reviews scare you! It's not a hotel, it's a hostel. If you can't handle a motel, you will obviously struggle at a hostel. No issues at all! Had AC and made lots of friends! Be friendly and you won't have a problem! When we return we will be sure to stay here! A few hiccups with available rooms, but management made it work! Shout out to our girl Sammie for getting us checked out and being so outgoing and friendly!

Edward
Eugene Gant should not be allowed to work this property after his mistreatment of multiple guest and he escalated a misunderstanding of a reservation into insults, insinuations and, harassment and disrespect to multiple people. I’m not sure what his personal problem was but is not professional. He even admitted a few days prior to my reservation that he didn’t feel comfortable doing cash reservations because he was new and was not confident he wouldn’t make a mistake. I offered to do an online reservation because he stated he was still learning and had already made mistakes in his new position. Jawaan, Edwin, Sammi, have been more than accommodating and have been nothing short of excellent host
Edward
I have stayed at Bikini Hostel plenty of times and rarely have an issue that has to be brought to staff attention. The newly hired incompetent employee Eugene Gant needs to be fired and removed from that property immediately because of the manner he harasses and berates paying guest for his own amusement. After verifying my reservation Eugene begged me to leave the property a review and I told him I don’t leave reviews personally and he told me he could write a review on my behalf if I like. I ignored him and when he asked me again multiple times to allow him to leave a review I told him I didn’t want to have him leave a review at the moment because I was resting and he was interrupting my rest as well as the other paying guest. He insinuated I lied about my paying because he said he didn’t see my reservation anywhere in the system. After leaving the room he came back multiple times to harass me and try to hold conversation while I tried to rest. He said he didn’t care about my rest because it was 11:30am. He also confirmed seeing my reservation for more expensive room with less beds and advised the booking sites were not showing availability for the room I reserved for more than a few days so the custom request was sent via reservation for 16c and the extra money spent was not a concern and that I would remain in the same room. It was ready planned for that to be my very last reservation. Police were called directly to my room to remove me because of Eugene petty ways

The quiteness in the rooms and bath wait to use,the pushyness of the quest ,the uncomforatble sexual harrassment from guest which Was reported and they spoke with them and switched room

If you are really trying to save a few bucks PLEASE STAY AWAY. The place feels sketchy, ghetto and not safe. They are definitely a few homeless people staying at the place. The neighborhood is nice and safe with public transportation options and a free trolley that takes around Miami Beach though. But the place itself has a weird vibe and doesn’t make it for the surrounding. And again, there are definitely a few homeless people staying at the place. There was this black entitled guest making a lot of noise in the morning taking forever to get ready (very rude individual) acting like we were in hood. So ghetto ghetto ghetto. Kudos to the Hispanic guy from the night shift and the Argentine girl from the morning shirt. They were very nice. The other chubby employee closing the kitchen at night wasn't as nice. He acted like we were in the army or something.
Carlos
I arrived ask for my privet room, he registered me gave the key to the room and it didn’t work, so he said don’t worry when you go out and come back I’ll open the room for you.so I ask for a room that the key work and he said there wasn’t any other room available so y said i want a room with a key and he told me I don’t have it if don’t like it you can go somewhere else.

The attendant was very rude and kicked my friend out of there. There were another people there complaining about the same! They r awful. Dont book with them!

It a 1000 people's in one room homeless shelters/ hotel don't go there I walk out that place so fast people sick in all
Mark
After experiencing a criminal action against me, I was dismissed by staff who allowed that guest to remain and do the same to other guests who also complained and were met with equal inaction. I mistyped in another review. I meant to say that Sammie is the only reception person who is fair to the guests and doesn’t respond to their reasonable concerns with perverse dark sarcasm.
Mark
On my last review, I mistyped. I meant to say Sammie doesn’t respond to thoughtful guest concerns with perverse dark sarcasm. She listens and acts professionally much unlike any of her older colleagues who one would assume would be more mature. Sadly, this sarcasm seems acceptable to upper management and the owners. Those considering a stay at this property should prepare themselves or book elsewhere.
Mark
Sammie is the only reception person to truly care about the guests. She makes a real effort to insure their safety and comfort. She doesn’t respond to guest concerns without dark sarcasm. She is also alone in applying site rules equally and not making exceptions to favoured guests.

Unclean. I paid 800+ to stay at a homeless shelter
LUDVICK
I LIKED THE VARIETEY OF PEOPLE AT THE LOCATION. I ALSO LIKE THE AREA. I DID NOT LIKE THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY OF OBTAINING A PRIVATE ROOM.
Joel
Is basically a trap house, no one is backpacking there, they all seem to live there.
Noelle
As soon as I walked in I could tell it was a drug use place. It had multiple crackheads sitting around the front and inside the hostel outside of their rooms. I still checked in thinking my room would at least be safe. I woke up at 8 am to men doing drugs in my room and the door to the room being propped open with a trash can for anyone to enter and steal or harm women while sleeping. I went to the front desk to complain and she was already being yelled at by a crackhead who start verbally attacking me and drooling on my luggage until the cops came and handled the situation. I was promised by the Spanish lady at the front desk a full refund for the three more days I was booked there and now they refused to answer the phone or refund me my money. This place is dangerous and Expedia has been made aware and provided with photos and still won't refund me my money. This place should not be listed on this site anymore for everyone's safety
Cassandra
There are homeless people everywhere. Inside, outside
Karim
This was my worst experience ever.
I reach to the so called hotel, the receptionist informed me that he received my reservation but no room for me.
The hotel entrance was scary and i was not feeling confortable with the cround and the rooms.
Basically the choice through expedia was misleading, and i spent 2 night outside.
Miami was full, during the boat show and valentine.
Please expedia take action.

This place was a nightmare and if there was a choice to choose 0 I would have. Had me waiting around before i could check in at 3pm. A mistake was made on the booking as I paid for a room with 2 bunkbeds and not 6 which i will have to contact Hotels.com about. I did not feel safe at all there and shared bathroom doors were broken and some didn't lock and just some random dude just walks in and lucky I was not in the shower which i never used as both shower and toilets were dirty with womans dirty knickers lying around. I think this place is more of a shelter for the homeless than a hostel for tourists.They even charge you for lockers.
Nathan
It started with, \"I can't give you a card key for the room because the system is down.\" Seems more like a homeless shelter that a
Matthew
Worst Travel Experience Of My Life
I booked a PRIVATE suite. These criminals call a room in the back of a 12 person bunk that you have to walk through a private room! I am a male, and when I arrived they said the only private they had was in an all female dorm! So I had to walk through a room where women expect privacy and tell them I'm staying in the room in the back! I walked in put my bag down, decided this was absurd and checked out. Bikini Hostel refused to refund me, even though this is false advertising, even though I didn't get what I asked for. And Hotels.com refused to help just blindly citing the Bikini criminal's refund policy. They can both go Eff themselves. I'll NEVER use hotels.com again. And FYI, there are no girls in bikinis, there's just desperate transient people from south florida with no place else to go. I'd give it negative stars if I could

This hostel feels more like a halfway house for homeless people, don't believe the photos.
While the cheek in staff were friendly enough the rooms and the whole place felt unsafe and not like a leave you want to be.
The bar next door was nice and was a short walk down to the beach.

Buyer Beware! Go elsewhere!
They are listed to have an airport shuttle and a cruise port shuttle, which was the main reason I booked here, but THEY DO NOT! There is no way to speak to anyone before your arrival. All phone prompts tell you to email. I emailed 3 times and NEVER heard back from anyone. Terrible customer service. They say they offer free breakfast and dinner but fail to tell you that you have to sign up for the dinner several hours before or you can’t eat. The breakfast is just sugared cereal and bread for toast. I don’t eat sugared cereals. Saying they offer a continental breakfast and only offer that is NOT a continental breakfast. I purchased a private room but had to walk through a room with 6 beds to get to a door with a small hallway to reach my “private” room. Room was dingy and filthy. Know that a police cruiser is permanently stationed right in front of the Hostel to keep an eye out on the permanent residents who live there. Terrible. Buyer beware. If you don’t mind staying in squalor then stay away.

Simple lodging in a great location
Had a layover in Miami and wanted to see Miami Beach.
The hostel is what it is: an affordable place to stay near the beach. Accommodations are simple and adequate, nothing fancy. Neighborhood is safe. Walking distance to the famous South Beach strip.
Great for backpackers. Not recommended as a romantic getaway.
