南灘集團酒店辣妹海灘青年旅舍 - 邁阿密海灘 Posh South Beach Hostel, a South Beach Group Hotel

Definitely a posh hostel

What hostel has such modern interior and chic, clean pool? None! And it really is a block away from the beach!! I was worried about the co-ed dorm but people were respectful and no shady business occurred during my stay. Outside guests and parties are not allowed so that made it feel safe and not so rowdy which can be the downside of hostels at times. The staff was great, especially Monica, my Miami mommy! She was caring, friendly and helpful and respectful to even cranky, rude guests. Overall, - great hostel stay (not hotel stay so do not come with such expectations and complain!) Good crowd of people in their 20's-60's: majority in 20-30 range.

There were no activity items available that often a beach-based hostels might have: beach ball, boogie board, volleyball, etc. Not that I minded since I'm not a big sports person. There was a theft of a phone charger (not staff's fault) so be aware and stow away your items.
