Expert reviews

Telegraph review:

“This hip hotel-hostel with both private and shared rooms anchored by Broken Shaker, Miami Beach’s most popular cocktail bar, is something of an anomaly; at once one of Miami’s trendiest and most affordable hotels. There is a lush, inviting courtyard and pool courting Miami Beach locals, as well as 27 Restaurant.”

New York Times review:

“The Freehand Miami Hotel is a five-minute walk from Miami Beach and is less than a mile from the nightlife in South Beach.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Miami.

This a great value for a clean, comfortable room in a desirable location! It's a fun place to stay!

The room was great value for the money, and the location was amazing.

If you bring a car, it's tricky, because the street (and lot) parking in enforced until 3 am. But the hotel itself is lovely!

‏The location and the cleanliness was excellent

The absence of a kitchen and a policy that the outside area in the evening is forbidden to sit in it by the security, as it belongs to the bar and the bar becomes not for the hotel

The location and area of the hotel was absolutely lovely! Pool, chairs, bar, all you want to have for a great stay! The beach was just a few minutes walk away.

The room could have been a bit cleaner, but that depends also on the individual people staying in the same room.

The location is 10 minutes by bus to the market. On the street. There are small restaurants and a Starbucks nearby.

Shared rooms are not comfortable. Some ladies make a lot of noise and you get disturbed, they eat in the room and on their beds and it causes a very bad smell. There is no water in the hotel, you have to go outside and get it. I stayed in a private room, the TV in my room did not show clearly and the number of channels was very few. There was no kettle in my room and I had to buy it from outside. I left my kettle in my room when I left. I hope I will find it there again when I come next year 😁

Arriving is as much a dignified event as departing. We are all ambassadors of great service.

I always like the service and the relaxing atmosphere after traveling or working, also because I have learned each time a new that I will encounter great people from diverse ventures of life, chives regarding space and common areas, great food, friendly staff and safety. The staff team has always been great like the smile and diligence of Alex, the patience and anticipation of Victor, the welcoming greetings and service of Agustina, the dedication of Florence to detail and modesty, the prudence and consistent work by the cleaning and maintenance team, the cautious and permanent serenity and politeness of Security team; the radiant attitude to inspire and transcend . We all love to be served as equals in respect. Thank You. I will always want to return. Great energy all around!

I realize how comfort can be diminished by disregarding extra hands on maintenance of though clean bathrooms, tiles on showers and humid environments. Godliness is something so surreal as feeling clean and finding everything else as clean and sanitized as towels. I would like to find an air refresher in enclosed areas as well as a toilet brush.

Fantastic location with a nice atmosphere.

It’s insanely close to the beach! On the way there you’ll pass a market and a couple of sandwich shops. It’s really cheap and clean.

A communal refrigerator would be nice and a water fountain to fill bottles. A cooking area would be asking a lot but it’s an idea. They have this towel system where you only get one and if you want an extra it’s $5. Five bucks isn’t too bad but I wish you could just get another towel. However, they do provide a beach towel that you can trade.

Perfect for a quick overnight stay

Good location, only 20 minutes bus ride from the airport, from the hotel you can walk to most places on Miami Beach.

The lobby/lounge area is very dimly lit, it puts you to sleep the moment you walk in. Too much clutter in that area.

Such a great stay, very close to the beach, the bus from the airport dropped me right outside of the hotel and close to

Great location for the beach. Only a 5 min walk! There’s a supermarket just down the road that opened early until late and a 24 hr subway shop if you get hungry. Very close to bus stop which is very handy. Also make use of the free Miami Beach trolley loops from those stops too. The room was great and spacious! Beds were so comfortable. Very clean! Had a pool which looked alright. The bar was small but had lots of seating outside. There was also a club which we didn’t know about. The drinks are expensive though. One drink set me back $22! Would recommend for sure

Good value for money, great location & basics covered

We stayed in a private room, and while the building in all honesty is a bit dingy, the important things like bedsheets and towels were white and clean. Location is what made this place for us. Right by the beach, walking distance to many shops, restaurants etc., easy to uber/drive from if going further. We were initially worried about parking, but were able to buy overnight parking right next door for $17 at the reception which was great. Bar/poolside downstairs is cute!

Majority of the guests seemed to be teenagers on big organised group trips which interferes with the ”young adult” vibe we were hoping for, a minor thing. However based on other reviews this seems to be a consistent contract so maybe something to be aware of. If you’re booking solely with poolside lounging in mind be aware that the pool is not huge and was constantly very busy - great for a quick dip but not a resort pool day type setting.

Nice hostel with good facilities and in a decent location.

It was very nice having a pool on site as well as the bar and restaurant. I also liked the layout of the dormitory rooms which had comfortable beds and a handy shelf with plenty of plug sockets and a lamp. The bathroom was also clean and tidy although the shower could have done with some shelves.

Some of the staff members were a little abrupt and the laundry facilities at the property were a pain to use.

Lovely experience, great hostel if you’re not a fan of the idea of the stereotypical “hostel”

Loved how clean and safe it was, everything you needed in the dorms and it was super easy to get to and then also get to the Main Street for food/drinks!

My stay coincided with some sort of school trip so the pool was always very busy with teenagers but this is down to timing not the property!

Excellent Cost Benefit in Miami

Excellent cost benefit in Miami, where prices are so high, it's possible to stay comfortable without paying much at Freehand. The staff is very kind and the room is very comfortable. The location is not the best if you're looking to go and come back from downtown, but it's possible to take the free bus Miami offers and the beach is quiet and great to relax. The hotel provides free chairs and an umbrella, which is AWESOME. Overall experience was excellent.

Lightning in the room wasn't the best, but honestly, nothing to complain, Just mentioning it.

It was ok but it is a hostel expected more from the “hotel rooms”

Great location next to the beach and the trolley. nice pool area comfortable beds, friendly and helpful stuff (except this one lady she was rude)

It is a hostel not a real hotel. I review the hotel part Stayed at the double rooms and it was overpriced. the room was very very big that was great but the building is old and it smelled so musty in the room and you could not open the windows. Stayed at the ground floor and did not feel safe, building was next to the main building so a little bit apart and there was no security. saw a lot of homeless people jumping over the fence using the outside bathrooms and hanging out in front of our window. Bc of the bar ( many non guests in the evenings ) it s loud till after midnight it s ok bc its also a hostel and for young people but you have to know this. If you prefer a hotel experience it s not the right place. But i think the hostel part is really great ! Great location and nice area
