Not a good place to sleep

The guy at the front desk. was playing video games when I showed up late night. After a long 9 hour ride from Jacksonville to Miami on a bus. He tell me Florida residents not allowed cause yall break stuff wow. Then tell me to leave the property very rude. Orbitz never inform me of the no state residents rule. And the guy couldn't have a care in the world that I would be sleeping on the streets. Most of the reviews was bad about this place. The reviews be true the reviews be true.

For the price it cannot be beat. It is not a 5 star resort, but if you just need a place to stay for a few nights.

Upon arrival they wanted more money! I couldn't stay there and I didn't get my money back from Orbitz! Now I have to sue Orbitz for a lot more money than what I paid! Orbit should get rid of this bikini hostile because it's a roach motel had a prostitute trying to hook me up! So many violations electric codes health codes!

Excellent location. Staff Very polite and helpful. The hostel itself is old and needs a lot of upgrades, the worst part are the beds and mattresses in poor condition, the blinds in the room also in poor condition.

The place is not at all like the pictures. One of the dudes who works there slept on the couch in our room. The rooms are dark - not at all like the bright and cheery spaces on these site. My email questions went unanswered. I get it’s a hostel, but there is a level below which is tolerable.

Parking was tough. I had to park about a mile away and Uber back.

Bikini Hostel discriminates, based on age I guess, because they refused to allow me to stay even though I drove 3 hours to get there and prepaid for week using orbitz.com.. I told the ahole front desk person to expect lawsuit but don't feel like the time, just avoid this scam and don't believe the pictures, it is a dump.

Jorge & Cherie were awesome.... Very hospitable! There is not a pool anymore, although staff said we could use the one a few hotels down. Hot tub was clean and worked well. There was also a pool table, ping pong, and outdoor jenga.

dont even soend your money .... TERRIBLE! the staff was friendly but rooms smells terrible and you had to share..: EW!

Hostel was quite okay, stayed in better ones and stayed in worse ones. What made the Hostel so great was its amazing staff. A special shoutout goes to Atif and Hailey, who made my stay really great! Thank you guys!

I booked a room for 7 people and they said I have to split my party into 2 groups with 3 in one room and 4 in the other, and sharing with other people as well. We didn't stay at the hotel and really unhappy about this experience.

The most complain is about the manager Jose, with a poor communication skills and paranoia, I saw him kicking people out from both staffs and guest for no reason but just because he thought of something, makes the stay not enjoyable at all. No I don't recommend staying at this hostel at all even for the cheap price, pay couple dollars more and stay somewhere else.

The staff are not friendly specially the manager Jose, he asked people to leave the hostel from the staff and the guests for no reason, he is just paranoid which makes the experience to be there not enjoyable. There is a bar in the hostel which you can't bring your own alcohol. Over all I won't recommend staying at this hostel even for the cheap price, not worth any money.

very good hostel. nice place. good location. very good price. excellent place

I was here for 3 weeks in January and also been here couple years ago. The rooms have their own bathroom with a bathtub, they have a kitchen where you can cook food and the hostel is right near the whole foods. I like the place, would love to stay again in the future. Thank You ― Rahul.

As per our listing, our hostel is for international travelers and not for in state locals, as you mention you drove just a few hours to get to us. Keeping our guests safe and in a hostel environment is out top priority while providing a good time and fun!
