I was really hoping I could give a 0/5 star rating on Tripadvisor, because this place does not deserve any respect or credit whatsoever. We booked a room for two nights three weeks prior to our trip through hostelworld.com and secured our reservation there. Fast forward three weeks and we find ourselves in busy Miami in the middle of the... More

I spent 3 nights in this hostel and would never again go there. The room and bathroom was just disgusting. The bathroom was full of hair and the shower had mold. During the 3 days I saw 3 cockroaches in the room. One even was on my bed. Probably, there were also bed bugs, because my body was full of... More

Very pretty, clean, and safe-feeling hostel. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff who upgraded the 3 of us to a private room from a dorm reservation due to availability. Was a little quiet and a bit far from most clubs so if you're looking for a more wild experience you might want to go further south on... More

Not so good at all. You can probably find better hostels for the same cost and location. Although the hosts were friendly we wouldn't advise going there. Hygiene was also not the best and the room we had was situated behind a generator which was very noisy.

What I look for in a hostel is a place to sleep, somewhere safe to leave my stuff, and somewhere to meet cool people. This place provided none of that. Place to sleep: When we arrived we were proudly informed that there was no curfew. We assumed this to mean they never locked the front gate, but apparently it means... More

If you're here to sleep then find somewhere else. This is a hostel with a real fun, party feel. After being screwed around by another hostel (That Hostel was the Miami International Hostel...don't ever go there no matter how good the reviews say) I checked into the Santa Barbara Hostel at about 11pm at night. The staff were very friendly.... More

Just stayed 3 nights at Santa Barbara. We were desperate for accommodation and booked one night after another there while constantly trying to find something else. All the rooms face the patio, where LOUD nightclub music is playing from early morning until 2 am, and teenagers-20somethings drink and scream all night. It almost drove us crazy and last night we...

The atmosphere and friendliness, social aspect of the place gets an off-the-charts positive. It's simply among, if not THE, best hostel for meeting up with others from all nations and having great conversations, friendships and fun times. So if you don't mind a little sleep deprivation (or have GOOD noise-cancelling headphones) and socializing is important to your trip, don't hesitate... More

The negative reviews about the hostel are a bit exaggerated. I mean HELLO it’s a hostel not a 5 star hotel! My friend and I shared a room with 2 other guys. The rooms are not big, but because we were out all day it didn’t matter. The bathroom was not too clean, but again it is a hostel. The... More
