Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dated rooms and facilities — Some guests note that the rooms and bathrooms feel old, with a few describing the decor as 'funny 80s style.' Clean, but not modern.

- Basic amenities — Free Wi-Fi is only available in public areas, not in rooms, and there's no mention of a fitness centre or restaurant on-site.
- Value can be debatable — While many guests find the price right, a few feel the overall value isn't great, particularly if you're not taking advantage of the location.

6.9Verified guest“So close to the beach, shops and restaurants, and the price was fantastic. The whole family plans to come back next year.”
6.9Verified guest“A classic Art-Deco hotel that suits students and young travellers. Nice location and a lovely swimming pool.”
6.9Verified guest“You can't beat the location—near shops, restaurants, nightlife and the beach. There's a range of prices and room types; I chose a 4-bed dorm with an ensuite bathroom. The room was spacious, though a locker for valuables would have been useful. Private rooms are also available. It's among the cheapest options in the usually expensive South Beach area. The pool area with sunbeds was the highlight, plus there's a dining area and a large communal kitchen for cooking or keeping drinks cold while you swim. Young and friendly vibe, helpful staff. I'd definitely stay again—great value with unbeatable prices in South Beach.”
6.9Verified guest“The location couldn't be better—right by Lincoln Road Mall, the beach and the clubs. Everything you need in Miami Beach.”
6.9Verified guest“Great location and wonderful service. We loved being able to cook in the public area next to the pool.”
6.9Verified guest“Really good location and helpful staff. Free Wi-Fi, free towels, a small but decent pool. A simple hotel, but at a great price.”
