Freehand, Miami

We loved the room, the decor. Super comfortable and good vibes in the bar area.

There were no bikes available even at 6.30am so couldn’t avail of the perks advertised.

Thank-You Very Much!

I get this is a Shared Space. Though I was TRIPPING Over Open Siutcases strewn Across The Floor of A VERY SMALL Space. Food & Personal belongings took OVER Every inch of Space Available. It Was Honestly Beyond Inconvenient. I Remained Light-Hearted & STRICTLY Entered Room for Retiring @ Night & Showering. 😊

Fun, funky space with great outdoor spaces, like the pool area. Comfortable rooms with mini fridge. Decent hotel food and bar options. You can walk to the beach and many restaurants.

We were on the first floor next to the public bathrooms. Our window overlooked an outdoor wedding party that raged until 4am. Very loud! Seemed strange that the food and drinks places didn’t open until 5pm when people were out by the pool all day.

The room was nice, and the location was convenient.

I wish they had provided a kitchen so guests could prepare their own meals, especially since breakfast was not included.

Very close to everything, clean and friendly staff. I liked that they have a key for the room and a little lamp for each bed. They also cleaned the room everyday. The pool is also a positive point.

There is no kitchen in the hostel and the rooms with 4 beds are small.

Bed was very comfortable. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Guests receive 205 discount at bar and restaurant.

Friday night there was extremely loud disco music from 8 pm to midnight.

our group had our own little place, the setting was nice, the place was clean, and the location was very close to the beach!

The pool was a bit dirty and had a lot of pieces in it, the shower was hard to figure out (the water would come out super cold and wouldn’t warm up, and the pressure of the water wouldn’t come out strong, customer preference of having a shelf in the shower)

Location is good. Easy to access anywhere you like to go. Very close to the beach like 2 min walks. Feels cozy. Rent free bikes, provides beach towel, chairs and umbrellas for free. Personels are cool and friendly

AC is so noisy. Building and the furnitures are too old. If you have a question to ask to the front desk they're always busy and have to wait on the queue too long. Unfortunately If it's a special week like Valentine's Day it ends up being very expensive to stay.

The location, the vibe in the lobby or outside the lobby

First, the air conditioning was set to 18°C, which made the room extremely cold and windy. I only had one small, thin blanket. When I reported this issue, I was told that they could not do anything about it and that guests were not allowed to adjust or turn off the air conditioning. I was also told that even if they changed my room, I would face the same air-conditioning issue.

The towels were not changed during my entire 9-day stay.

To get a hairdryer, I was required to leave my passport at reception, which felt unsafe and inappropriate.

The room was not clean, especially the bathroom. The cleaner did not clean thoroughly—there was female pantyliners on the floor, and it remained there for several days.

During the last two days, no paper towels were provided, so I had to use my own.

The location, the staff, the cozyness

The room was little bit dark

Room was actually more spacious than expected, filtered water machine was a huge plus.

Walls/door were pretty thin so noise could be an issue depending on neighbors

Amazing location, kind staff, and a fun bar!
The place was clean, and I would stay here again because of its proximity to the beach and great restaurants/nightlife. The staff gave great recs for where to go around there.

Location and courtyard. Loved the bar.

It was very noisy / mainly the corridors - could hear everything!

Good location

No WiFi at the pool 😪

Original

Music was loud on the weekends past midnight

Very well-placed hostel in the middle of Miami Beach! Overall, very nice accommodations for a hostel, with a pool and two bars in the courtyard. You are able to check out a bike from the reception for free, and anoverall very comfortable atmosphere.

Something that would have been nice to communicate is that the hostel plays music until midnight, and that the hostel bar space is relatively open. I personally didn't mind, but this may be important information for some travelers.

Affordable stay

Room is not well lit. Very old sofa. Room temperature should just be set standard. One roommate put heater then few hours later cooler and repeat.

Good location close to supermarket and coffee shop

Needs simple privacy curtains for the bunk beds. Crazy loud music in the common area. Unnecessary.

This spot was perfect for my quick trip to Miami Beach. A bit of affordability in a very unaffordable city. Minutes from the beach, where you can easily bike to wherever you need to go comfortable rooms, fabulous backyard and pool where you can work, laundry onsite. They’ll give you a beach chair and towels and a 2-hour bike rental for free. Sweet staff and a couple great bars onsite too. Fridge in the room.

It’s far from many other places you want to go so just keep that in mind. And the nearby supermarket is very pricey.

Loved the location and on premise amenities like the courtyard and the bars. Met some really rad people. The vibe of the rooms and interior reminded me of an old apartment I had in college in the best way possible — but way more thoughtful and elevated. Was a little dingy but we kind of Loved every bit of it.

Parking was a nightmare!

Would have loved some cups in the room.

location and vibe of the place. the atmosphere was relaxed fun and inviting.

no ice machines. restroom was a bit tiny (toilet area)

The front desk manager was awesome. Exceeded my expectations. Great staff.!!

Everything was great

The decorations and the vibes were really good.

Street parking sucked. It was a busy area so getting parking was a hit or miss which I didn’t like.

It was very close to the beach and also had good amenities such as the pool
