91%Ohana Hostel I Ocean Drive

Could use some lockers so you arent forced to use the staff accessible 'safe' room. 90% of staff were great, a few had attitudes. Great Bar, good crowd of guests but not a massive social scene

Awesome new hostel right across the road from the beach. You really can't beat it for price and location. One of the best hostels i've stayed at for sure.

The best location and the plazma tvs everywhere including the rooms are ausome. No lockers though. Breakfast is pretty average. The cleaning lady is scary. Dont leave anything out or she will throw it. So annoying.

Location is excellent 1min from beach. Big sized rooms with clean bathroom. Really need lockers as there was nowhere to store valuables. 1 fridge is not enough for all the guests. A couple of minor additions and you have yourself a great hostel.

Hotstel very good, some people have little staff assistance. I do not recommend booking a trip to the hostel ... Otherwise, for sure, I'll go back blindly

I wouldn't count on breakfast as it really is just two slices of bread if you are lucky and the bar is often out of something...not withstanding that a nice hosteland the location more than makes up for it.close

This is a good hostel but definitely not a great one. Location and the rooms are excellent. Quieter rooms at the back. But it is let down by poor staff, a lack of organisation. Internet down for all 4 days. No staff cared. Was told "it's not my job to fix it." Breakfast is two bits of toast. If the staff can get their act together then it has potential. But maybe try somewhere else until it does.close

I don't know how can they say that breakfast is included, because breakfast was 2 pieces of toast and coffee. I tried to take 4 pieces of toast, but immediately one staff member asked how many did I take. I had to give those 2 extra pieces back. I wouldn't call that breakfast!!close

Clean modern decor. Fantastic location right by the beach. Quiet (relatively for Miami). Free breakie and wifi to boot. Worth the little premium in comparison with other hostels in the area (particularly if only staying for a day or two).

I would recommend them to any traveler who likes the feeling of an expensive hotel, but with a hostel budget. The staff are very very helpful and friendly. You can relax at the beach all day, and then in the Hot Tub at night on the roof! Just fantastic!close
