(+): New/modern/clean/nice place. Location.
(-): No kitchen, no microwaves, no fridge, nowhere to store food. We all have to eat out. A low buget trip ends up being HIGH budget. People keep turning off the AC in the room and putting it warm - there should be a way the temperature can't be changed.

I had a great stay at Bed n Drinks hostel, I can’t complain about the price it was well worth it and very affordable! The new bartender was nice and the staff was friendly to me. I only stayed 3 nights so it was the perfect place to stay in that time. Met some very friendly roommates and I felt safe in the hostel and around the area! I’d definitely stay there again traveling solo as a woman.

Because i have a Florida ID they said i couldn't stay there. I did not get a refund after i booked it. Nowhere i saw said they don't allow people with Florida identification stay there. Im upset because they took the money and i didn't get a refund. I only tried to book for 2 nights, because I was coming back to Miami. Im going to follow up by emailing corporate. Its not alot of money, but its my money. Im sure the place is fine but i feel i got ripped off. Thanks.

Хостел в центре

В хостел нет кухни, даже ни намекав на нее, нет места э, где можно элементарно согреть воду, чтобы приготовить себе чай. Располагается в центральной части острова, чисто, выдают полотенца и одеяло (по запросу). Если ты достал хотя бы позаботился о наличии чайника и микроволновой печи, было бы гораздо комфортнее. В душе текла холодная вода

Pretty cool! When booking another stay (extending) the checking out from 11 to 3pm is inconvenience and awkward but that's their policy. It is a hassle and breaks up your work day with distractions when you work remotely. That's the only thing I would change

I booked this place because my traveling partner arrived later then me and I needed a place to hold my bag and drink…drinks were delicious by the way…the roll was pretty warm and hand a bad smell. The other girls were nice but ofcourse even if I was planning to stay I would’ve been super unhappy because only top bunks were available! That doesn’t work for me. Other then that it was a great place to hold my bags and no one bothered my belongings.

Not for the weak at heart

On a positive note, there were no roaches or bedbugs, the location was great, half the staff were super friendly, there was a great vegan restaurant right next door, and I felt safe; sadly, it was not what it advertised in other areas. Suffice to say that it should be called 'just beds' because there are no bars on site, and the breakfast was a paper bag with a granola bar, yogurt and instant oatmeal pack. Regardless, I enjoyed my stay :)

The Good and the Bad

I was in Miami for a solo 5 day trip. I was ready for the bar, false advertisement the bar is not open, the bar is completely empty looks abandoned. But the hotel next door does have a bar.
I stayed in 6 all female room. The cleaning staff are excellent and friendly!
The front desk staff failed to offer me a blanket at check in and I found out blankets were available but I had purchased one by then. They only provide 1 towel. No wash cloth. Please make sure you bring your own towels or you can purchase some from Ross (two minute walk) like I did. The room was clean, no bugs, hot water, no one stole anything. There are lockers available bring your own lock or rent one for $5 daily.
The beds were comfortable.
Fees: $27 + $20 deposit due at check in.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in my life

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in my life. I have visited approximately 36 countries, this is definitely the worst hostel I've stayed in. I do not recommend it to anyone, especially if you are coming alone, never choose.They claimed that I did not pay the fee even though I bought it through hotels.com and demanded money from me again. When I said I wouldn't give it, they told me to check-out or they would call the police. I have never seen such a rude and problematic receptionist. I had to call 911 for the first time in my life because I doubted my safety. Anyone with a mind should stay away from this hostel.

I checked out early

This place looks good on the internet. When I first checked in, the staff was nice. When I got to my room around 3:15pm, the cleaning lady was in there cleaning. I couldn’t tell which beds were clean. The floors were dirty and the shower was disgusting. The temp in the room was 77 which made the room stuffy and gross. On my second day there, I had to switch rooms because the shower was leaking into the lobby somehow. That was annoying. We went from a 6 person room to an 8 person room. This room was better than the first one, but still not great. The staff randomly come in and out of the room and the cleaning lady comes in and out a lot too. There is construction in the lobby that was loud AF too and there is no elevator in the building, so if you’re upstairs you gotta drag your stuff up there.
I did like the location of this hostel. Close to the beach and shopping. And they do give breakfast in the morning which is yogurt and a granola bar. The staff is nice, but overall this place needs some serious work.

Decent! The people at the front desk were helpful!

I have never been to a hostel before and chose the open minded male/female room. I was the only female in the room but everyone kept to themselves. The bathroom needed cleaning though. There were no \"drinks\" to be had even though bars were open around the block. Someone played music until late and i didnt want to be rude and drown it out with my rain sounds. But i fell asleep eventually. Breakfast was a fat free yogurt and granola bar... coffee was ok though.

The main issue with this hotel is the rude, disrespectful, unprofessional, incompetent manager. The owners of this hotel are a disgrace to hire someone like has a manager. She yells at customers. She yells this is my hotel when it is not. She is just a manager. When i asked for the owners contact information. She told me she would not give it to me. If i have a problem i can only speak to her. I told her she was the problem and she told me if she felt it was a concern she would send them an email. I am sure she was not going to tell them I complained about her.

In town for a scifi Convention

For the price paid this was an excellent place to stay. I was in town for a science fiction convention called Supercon.

This hostel was just a few blocks away from the convention center where the event was held. This hostel is also just a few blocks away from the beach, a few restaurants and shopping areas.

I am a 42 yr old woman that travels solo frequently.

The place was relatively clean, the beds comfortable enough and there is a cute little kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave. There's also a device that dispenses hot and cold water. This was perfect for my tea in the morning.

There's a party like atmosphere with lots of loud music downstairs but this did not disturb things upstairs in the room. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm room. 8 women sharing bathroom facilities was challenging but everyone was considerate.

The free Wi-Fi worked very well. I was able to use my work laptop and watch a movie on Netflix.

Nobody was rude to me and nobody bothered me.

would stay here again next time I come to this convention.

Great location!! is 2 blocks away from the beach (with you ID they rent you chair, towel and umbrella), half block distance from Ross store, CVS pharmacy, 7eleven convenient store which has 1.99 hot dogs and of course is within walking distance from Washington av, Collins av, Lincoln Rd and multiple bus stops that make life simple to move around south beach. Also, you can easily get to ocean drive for a crazy night.

breakfast is included: fruit, yogurt, toast or bagel, peanut butter and jelly plus oatmeal, coffee or tea. So it a great start for your day. They also have a bar in the lobby so if you do not wish to go anywhere, you can perfectly stay there meeting international roomates.

The room was absolutely freezing when the AC was on, when it was turned off the room got really stuffy and we couldn’t open the windows and we weren’t able to control the AC ourselves and had to get a member of staff to keep turning it on and off for us.
