I’ve been staying at many hostels across the country and the one thing I’m learning is “you get what you pay for” holds much truth to hostels. This was the cheapest hostel I’ve stayed at but so many disadvantages with the cheaper price. The Posh South Beach Hostel is the only one I’ve visited that doesn’t have any in-bunk accommodations such as a fan, light, and electricity to charge your phone. I also didn’t like the shower area. The positive is it was a very clean shower; however, there is no bench or shelf to put clothes on. Your best option is to get undressed at your bunk and throw on a towel to walk to the shower. The glass around the showers allows people outside to see a blurred version of your naked body. This also was the only hostel where I had to make my own bed upon arrival (more difficult if you have a top bunk too). This was also the only hostel I’ve visited that charges a $50/night deposit. So if you stay 5 nights, that’s $250 plus your original rate. Now with that said it is in a great location for Miami night life and is about 2 blocks from Miami Beach. It’s also against the rules to use a sheet or towel as a privacy curtain around your bed. Which I found odd since I had a privacy curtain at all other hostels I’ve stayed at. If you’re single and self confident, like I am, this is a great place, but don’t bring your family, or significant other, here. That would be my suggestion. Now Under the right circumstances, I would stay here again.
