Viajero Miami

What can I say? It's one block away from the middle of Ocean Drive, and everything you may need is at walking distance. The staff is really nice and proactive. Juan is a fun and cool guy, and so is Sheila. They're very invested in keeping the hostel fun and chill, with weekly activities and help all-around. Also, shout out for the cleaning staff, they're all great and hard workers. Bare in mind that, especially in hostels, most of the cleanness depends on (you and) your roommates. As for services, they give you a towel, soap, shampoo, and everything. The bathroom mat can get wet soon, maybe they should give a couple. The beds have a little tent, USB chargers and lights. The lockers are big (bring your own lock). They have a library/room with 2 refrigeretors and a microwave. The fridges were barely sufficient for all the people, I would add another one or put bigger ones. But ultimately you can make it work. There is also a terrace, a restaurant, an inside bar, a speakeasy for late night, an outside area with two small pools and another super cool bar outside (shout out for Nate here). This hostel is the most expensive in South Beach, but it's defenitely the best in the area, don't even consider the other ones that pop up. You may look into Generator/ Freehand. They're good, but they are in Mid Beach. South Beach is the best. There's nothing in Mid Beach. And I'm not even a "party guy". Recommended.

I like that the property is one block away from the popular Ocean Dr. and the beach. There are a lot of food options in the area. There is hardly any parking out in front of the hostel and good luck finding parking on the street. Staff was nice and got to meet and make friends with other visitors. Nice that the property has activities to keep visitors entertained, the pool party was great. I did not like that the photos online don't show how old and outdated the building really is. Old carpet and floors, base boards, walls and ceiling needs fixing, water damaged areas with rust spots in certain areas. Also there is a confusing sign for drink specials for anyone staying at the property, but these specials are not honored at the bar inside of the building that is 15 feet away from the front desk but the outside bar downstairs near the pool in a corner where you won't see it if you're not actively searching for it.

Nice staff, clean rooms, and great amenities for the price! Would definitely stay here again. They had a cool DJ and really cool speakeasy bar that’s voted one of the top speakeasy bars!

Loved the room, it was clean and spacious, better than I expected and room cleaned daily if requested. There was free coffee during the day and cold drinking water always available at reception. The only downside is the pool area. The lead photo is pretty misleading. There were only 2 of the pools open, both of which were pretty dirty. The third (closest in the picture) was covered by more seating for the bar. The area around the pool wasn't maintained and looked pretty filthy. It wasn't a pleasant area to cool off after the beach as I hoped. Although it's not a big space it definitely has more potential. I have stayed in Viajeros across LATAM and this was definitely the worst pool area I've seen!

A great option for south beach. Good location, helpful staff, decent WiFi, comfortable beds. Only negatives for me - no shared kitchen, and there was no towel available on arrival (I it veas Easter Sunday but I had spent a long day travelling)

Great location and nice little pool bar

the staff was an absolute delight! the speakeasy in the pool are is a hidden gem! drinks are absolutely delish!

Good hostel with excellent locations. Some suggestions for improvement: quite cold inside the room (AC). Very small and thin pillow provided. Two pools are extremely small.

Really cool place with an awesome speakeasy downstairs. Can't beat the price.

Excellent location and friendly staff. And they kept the place clean everyday . It’s my to go hostel whenever I need a place to stay in Miami. Thank you for the amazing service Miami team

Not the cleanest Hostel in the world. Why have carpet or furniture if you cannot maintain it clean? Guests are ambivalent to hostel rules. Staff ambivalent to enforcing hostel rules.

The bathroom was completely filthy. Literally had blood all over the walls and all over the shower. Completely disgusting.

Not clean… some one had period blood on the couch

We stayed at a private room for two nights one before and after our cruise. First time, we stayed in a nice room, but there was lots of noise coming from a party that didnt let us sleep till very late. The second time, we arrived early in the morning, around 9am and we were told that they had our room available but we had to pay extra if we wanted to check in early. When we asked what time we could comeback, the answer was around 13-13:30. We were back around 13.15 and another receptionist this time told us that the room wasnt ready yet. We returned around 15.45 and we finally checked in. When we went to bathroom, we found out everything was dirty. When we complained to the reception, they sent someone to clean, but when she left the tube still had hair from the previous people. It was very discouraging, to check-in to a room that supposingly took them so many ours to be ready, and at the end of the day it wasnt clean. :(

The property was nice, but does not seem to be kept up on with routine maintenance. Things like light bulbs were out, the sink was loose, the carpet in the common areas were filthy, and window locks/cracks were broken. Staff was friendly, but were very strict on 3pm check-in time and did not want us going to the room even 1 minute earlier as we arrived 45mins prior to check in. If you’re looking for a quick one night stay, this is perfect for just that.

The staff is awesome. And they keep the facility very clean..

Nice large hostel. Clean and comfortable beds and bathroom. They have a group chat and activities for everyone. I didn't stay long enough to do that but it's nice that they have it. Elevator is old though. They have different shared areas so there's different places to hang.

The shower could’ve had a deep scrubbing. It looks the mold has been growing for a while.

SAFE, COOL ATMOSPHERE, EASY ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND AIRPORT. AND SOUND PROOF EVEN WITH AWESOME DJ OUTSIDE. MODERN SHOWERS. I WOULD PAD THE LADDER HOWEVER... BUT AWESOME FOR SOUTH BEACH!

I had a good time there. My room had an amazing view. It was social and I met a lot of new people but I would’ve preferred it was a little more social because some activities didn’t have too many participants.

The hostel is average, it only worth the price as it is situated in Miami. The room was very spacious but that's it. The AC was Very LOUD, like a truck turning on everytime it turned on. The lift was broken so people was using the stairs doors, so everytime it closed it looked like it was inside our bedroom.

This hostel was okay. The downstairs bar/restaurant area looks nice, but the rooms and rest of the hostel are pretty bland. The room seemed pretty poorly planned out, like they were forcing a hostel layout in an old apartment. For 8 beds there was only one bathroom and the sink, shower, and toilet were all in there, and almost everyone spent 40 mins in there when they were showering, so it meant hours with no access sometimes. The beds were all crammed together and then there was a lot of random space that was pointless. I think they should work on adding some life to the rooms. Also, the room supposedly had AC but everyone in my room talked about how it was so hot in there at night that they couldn't sleep. Also, this hostel didn't really have that vibe where people did fun things together or talked with each other, so if you're looking for that, I'd try another hostel in Miami, there are so many. I think I'll be staying somewhere else the next time I come to Miami.

Three location is great, staff very friendly, the a/c in the room was extremely loud, the toilet seat old and started to dissolve, the lift was out of service

The property is in a great location, close to everything. I felt safe. I was in a women's dorm. There are 6 beds per dorm and only 1 bathroom. Was a little difficult to use restroom with that many people in room.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in one of the more hotel-like rooms with a queen bed and private bath. Our room was clean, bed was comfortable, and enjoyed the updated bathroom. We really enjoyed the rum bar and pool area. The location near the beach and in the heart of South Beach was fantastic.We would definitely stsy here again. The only slight disappointment was that there were no laundry facilities as we were on an extended trip.

Location Excellent Room size seems small when compare to images shown

The hostel is located at the safe and convenient area, I loved that they have private curtains for privacy and kept the place clean with the large amount of people visiting every day. I will definitely return again

There was a drunk/on drugs girl checked into my room at 1210am who proceeded to be loud and then scream in sleep so I Complained 3 times up until 3am when nothing was done I had to sleep in my car just to get 2 hours of sleep, she was removed later that morning. Then the next two nights the fire alarms continued to go off repeatedly and guests were banging on doors and screaming. I asked for a different room and they said no and then I asked for a refund and did not receive one.

Great value for cost of room! Staff were friendly and kept the place clean. Breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. They also do a good job organizing events for their guests.

This is the place to stay in Miami as a traveler. I have been to uncountable hostels all over the world and Viajero Miami will always see my face again for another check in. The receptionist BECCA welcomed me with a warm smile and her kindness and helpfulness will always be appreciated. The amenities and location are top and will enhance your good times in Miami.

They never gave back the 100$ cash deposit I gave for the room, also they are the only place who asked for this inconvenient way to pay the deposit during my trip, it's been three days now and they tell me to be patient, that they will pay me back, but they never give any news except when I call or text them and then say to be patient again, it cost me money to pay my deposit cause I had to withdraw and they charged me 4usd dollars to withdraw,

Tomy & Mica Made My Check-in experience extremely easy and comfortable! Very Helpful with accommodating me as I stay there we definitely come back to stay at this hostel! The dynamic duo!

Had an unpleasant experience with the staff. I’ve stayed at the hostel before and had a great a stay and the staff were great however this time while at the I was in the lobby on a call where many guests hang out as a common space with the available couches, on the seventh day of my stay. While on the phone I was approached by one of the front desk staff and asked if I am staying at the hotel, I confirmed I was and was told I required a green wrist band, at this point none of the other 15 guests in the lobby had wrist bands, neither had any other guests throughout the 7 days had wrist bands. The staff member then asked me to come over to the desk in order to confirm my name and room number. I did what was asked of me and she put a wrist bands on me. The staff member then stayed behind the desk and continued with her work. After 2 mins I asked how come she wasn’t approaching the other guests in the lobby regarding the wrist bands. After hesitating she replied “Oh yes” and walked over to the other guests in lobby and started putting wristbands on them, she asked for their name and room number but did not ask them to come over to the computer to verify the details as she had me. She put the wristbands on 10 guests or so and made her way back to the desk, which I was standing close by. As she approached the desk I enquired with her as to how come I was singled out for the obviously different treatment I had received. The staff member said that guests were to wear bands, at this

This was by far the worst hostel/hostel experience I have ever experienced. I came here in January 2024 at the Viajero Hostel in Miami Florida where I believe I was racially profiled. I had checked in with the hostel, dropped off my bag, then went out to eat, had some drinks and went to my room, but then realized I misplaced my keycard. I went to the front desk at around 8PM that night and asked the receptionist if I could have a new key card, but was told No, I don't think I want you staying here. I then explained please I am really tired now and I just need to go to sleep. The receptionist said I don't think I want you staying here and to sit over there and I will decided if I want you to stay here or not. I thought this was very strange language, but I complied and and sat and after about 5 minutes I went back to the receptionist and he told me I could not stay there and called the police on me. I usually travel every 1-2 months and this is the first time this has ever happened to me anywhere and has caused me so mych grief and he also refused to refund me so I am currently taking action. I never rarely wirte reviews, but this is a reciew I thought was important to share. Everyone knows that often people get racially profiled at some of the hotels in south beach which is why people will either get an Airbnb or in my case usually get a motel there and stay to myself, but I was just there one day and had no idra all this could happen in one day. Shame on this company.

The property was nice, but does not seem to be kept up on with routine maintenance. Things like light bulbs were out, the sink was loose, the carpet in the common areas were filthy, and window locks/cracks were broken.

Love front desk customer service , Alyse super nice! Hope to see you guys soon. Lost of love to Viajero!

The employees there are amazing all of them specially Alyssa. I really enjoyed my stay there and definitely will go back.

Very fun place to go to. They offer daily activities, the staff is very friendly and the location is great. Definitely check out the two bars they have at the hostel.

Great location -

Location is unbeatable. Right next to the beaches, shopping areas, etc.

I came to Viajero Miami for a much-needed solo birthday trip as I just adore Miami. This was my fourth visit to 305. I stayed in a hostel the very last time I visited Miami over 6 years ago, too. Both hostel experiences have been wonderful. As a solo traveler, it’s the perfect way to socialize as well as get to know the island. You cannot beat one block away from a gorgeous beach, ever. I even cried leaving…my roommates were respectful and the bedrooms remained quiet and tranquil aside from general acoustics of room ie doors and trashcans opening and closing. Beds come with two lights: one overall, one targeted as well as usb port for charging. And if you love air conditioning, best central air of hostel. One perhaps wouldn’t expect such quietness while sharing one room with nine strangers, but you can believe it. Very friendly people. My room came with the sole balcony and I took full advantage of it. City tanning, charging phone, chatting with roommates, drying beach wear, etc. And the complimentary coffee and water fountain were the cherries on top!! I definitely recommend watching the sunrise as often as possible! Natural beauty all around. Great location to practice your Spanish/español, too! If you have forgotten some toiletries, the shower came equipped with built-in shampoo, conditioner and body wash. And hand soap. One towel is supplied by staff so I suggest you bring/buy your own as well so you don’t use the same one for shower and the beach! Haha. Gracias a todos!

Nice and friendly staff, great location, recommend

We stayed one night before jumping on a cruise. It was a perfect spot with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The area felt safe and we were out walking around until well after midnight. The beach is a short walk away. Already excited to come back!!

Great location. Close to the ocean front beech. Just around the corner of the Twist dance club. Amazing restaurants all over the area.

I have stayed here several times and love it. It’s in the heart of South Beach, walkable to everything, beach, restaurants, nightclubs, and shopping, A perfect stay before or after any cruise from Miami.

Easy walk to the beach. Close to many restaurants. Very convenient

They have a very nice unique tiki bar called Delirio and hotel staff was great.

This Hostile has agreat location just minutes from Ocean drv. where everything is happening. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant on site. Bar was lacking in variety and was not stocked for potential business. Room was clean and comfortable. Sink in the bathroom was clogged for two days, but taken care of after I reported it. Checking in time is 3pm exactly, but they will store your baggage.

Great value for cost of room! Staff were friendly and kept the place clean. Breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. They also do a good job organizing events for their guests.

Very fun place to go to. They offer daily activities, the staff is very friendly and the location is great. Definitely check out the two bars they have at the hostel.

Be prepared to hear blasting music all night if your room faces the pool area. My stay overall was cool. It was nothing too special about the place. They offered activities each day throughout the day. The restaurant attached to it is mediocre as far as breakfast and drinks are expensive ( which is expected due to location) . But if you’re staying for two nights max then I feel this is a cool place, nothing longer then that.

Nice staff, clean rooms, and great amenities for the price! Would definitely stay here again. They had a cool DJ and really cool speakeasy bar that’s voted one of the top speakeasy bars!

Great location and nice little pool bar

Really cool place with an awesome speakeasy downstairs. Can't beat the price.

I loved staying here! This place is in a very walkable area. It's close to restaurants, clubs, and only a block from the beach! The vibe was great! Nate, the bar tender kept our cups full! The hookah bar was cool. The dj kept us dancing. I WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK!!
