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.

It was nice

location, employees and vibe

the room smells very musty. I couldn't sleep the two nights I stayed. Mattresses are terrible for anyone's spine

Fair stay in place close to the beach.

Bedroom was good, bed super comfortable. Staff were nice and facilities fair

The pool isn’t really a swimming pool, much more suited to sitting near the pool and drinking. I wouldn’t book it for the pool. Given the proximity near the beach I would have thought the cleaners would sweep the rooms every day. The pillow cases didn’t seem to fit the larger pillows

Very good

Cute and eclectic. Felt historic. Everyone very kind. Safe place for a solo female traveller.

Not a great spot to get to happening stuff. More like residential. Not a good spot if you wanted to meet a guy (as a female) but very quiet and quaint In the mornings. Clean if outdated interior.

Good hostel needs better check-in staff

Bed was nice, small reading light, charging sockets, plenty of nooks and shelf spaces to store stuff, spacious bed, attached bathroom to the rooms and so on

Check-in staff, specifically the young man (looked like a teenager) was so completely bland. He looked like he didn't want to be there at all. Just gave the keys and pointed to the room and that's it. Didn't explain anything about the restrooms, the towels, the activities happening in the hostel, the breakfast, any rules, nothing. Had to come back couple of times to ask. It was jarring because I heard another member of staff in the evening greet other guests and it was exactly as I expect to be greeted at any hotel /hostel. But it felt like a night and day difference

Nice location with beautiful outside area

The Hostel is located very closely to the beach with a beautiful outside area and pool. The staff was very helpful and there was parking available with the hostel right around the corner for about $17. Everything was clean and there were lockers available in the room (bring your own lock).

The elevator didn‘t work and the breakfast available in the back area was too expensive for the quality of the food ($12). We also got unlucky with a roommate who was on her phone on speaker from about 6am on, which is obviously not the hostel‘s fault but something to keep in mind even if you book a 4-bed room.

Fabulous

The location is good, very close to a beach and stores. The place is clean and I love the fact that there's a bathroom and toilet in the room that I don't need to go out.

I was given a space up and it was not convenient for me climbing up and down at all. Also the way one of the occupants snored was really disturbing that I couldn't sleep well in the night during those two days of my stay. This is not the fault of Freehand Miami of course.

Location excellent, but needs to be vegan throughout and not allow disruptive guests.

I liked the location and those roomates who were fine.

I didn't like that meat was cooking near the pool are or at all. Freehand was plush, with greenery, which suffered also from the nasty smell of kitchen cooking animal products as food. I didn't like the fact that obnoxious roommates were transferred from room to room, disrupting peace and joy.

Very good value for money, nice and with swimming pool!

Very good value for money, depends when you book though. Nice and professional staff, clean, comfy beds and swimming pool (Unfortunately it was too cold to use it - December). 100 metres to the beach. Oh and beautiful girls swarming to the bar! - who said it??! Wholeheartedly recommend! Maciek

Glass in the shower could be longer, so the water doesn't spill out on the floor :/

Staying there was a great experience. The staff was nice especially, Alexandra the hotel manager, Steve the kitchen & Bar manager as well as Jean Ernest and Mckenzie were so nice, and professional. They are great assets for Freehand. They are hard working, and reliable .They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. The drinks were very good, and the foods were delicious. I liked the room and bed. The mattress was very comfortable and my roommates were very nice . Although, I referred many people there at Freehand.

To be honest the only things I didn't like which all my roommates felt the same as well as other guests that i spoke to were the humidity and mold in the room. At times, I couldn't breath well I had stuffy nose , I kept coughing and sneezing throughput the nights as well as my roommates which made it uncomfortable . And also, I needed a blanket to cover at nights because I was feeling cold at nights, and every time I asked for a Blamket, they gave me another bedsheet instead I would suggest that, they provide Blankets for the guests. That would be great. These are the only things I didn't like. Other than that, I like everything about your facility. It's a great environment to be. Thanks for your service!

Not bad

Comfortable beds, fairly cheap (for Miami standards), only a 20-30 minute walk to main south beach area, WiFi covers the whole of the hotel, including pool area.

The dorms are fairly bright, as no curtains on the beds and the curtains for the windows don't cover them fully, the pool is a bit dirty.
