    I promised the guy at the front desk (I think he was a manager?) that I would leave an honest review of my stay at Viajero Hostel in Miami Beach, so here it goes. I've stayed in 40+ hostels around the world, and by far, this is one of the best. They recently opened in December 2021, so everything is very new and clean. Beds were great, mattresses, pillows, clean crisp sheets, showers and bathrooms looked like a high-end hotel. Lobby is a great atmosphere. Library for remote-working where I stayed can get crowded, but it's still an awesome space. Pool and bars are fantastic too. You definitely have to be a bit more on the outgoing side to meet people here, but if you're capable of creating your own atmosphere, it's fantastic. Location is the best - literally you cannot beat this location, it is absolutely perfect, a 2 min walk from the beach and surrounded by all the best restaurants, shops, bars, etc. Everything you need is within a 2 min walk from here. I stayed for a week and a half, but easy could have stayed for a month. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating - some of the best staff I've encountered in a hostel. I'll definitely be back - thanks again Viajero Hostel!

    I loved the place! I stayed in the Penthouse which was spacious and had a huge wrap around terrace with sun loungers and view of Collins Avenue nightlife. Walking distance to many restaurants and entertainment a huge plus. I would stay again and recommending to everyone I know!! The front desk staff was so amazing and Hospitable. The lobby, pool, and restaurant bar are super fun! And the beach is a block away!!

    Had a 5 nights stay at the hostel and it was AMAZING ! Location is 10-15 min walk to any bar and also the beach, rooms are surprisingly clean, each bed has curtains for privacy, the pool area is my favorite love the vibes and good energy you get from there. Staff was amazing, friendly and hospitable especially Franco from front desk, always with a smile. Also, Nate the bartender by the pool super fun Carlos from the restaurant sat with me at 4am and super friendly. Lot of amazing experiences in this place and I’ll definitely be back here! Thank you very much

    Fantastic Hostel! The Location, Staff, and Amenities - so much so that I extended my stay to 3 more days here! Sheila was an amazing coordinator! From the check in to the activities, I had a great time, it felt like we all became friends within the moment we met! Additionally, I was here during the world cup, got to see the final from a bar 10 minutes away (crazy good), got back to get an invite from Sheila and the hostel to an Argentinian Bar for $30 with free drinks! (As compared to $200 entry at the door) The hostel has three small pools, fun for an impromptu party, there's also a great speakeasy with STRONG drinks, and the poolside has the speakeasy's pop-up bar, where people from the hostel get $5 drinks - great to tailgate! I'd definitely come back here if and when I come to Miami, thanks Viajero! Spread across the country, we need a better hostel culture here!

    I absolutely love it here. I keep adding dates to my stay because I don't wanna leave. The hostel is new and nicely decorated, rooms spacious, with comfy beds and nice sheets and towels. The staff is so friendly and I find often myself hanging out at reception and in the lobby with them and other guests. I'm a solo traveler and single woman, and they also really take care of offering a safe environment. Highly recommended!

    For such an expensive hostel you don’t get a lot. Not even a blanket. Just a sheet. Lockers are tiny but deep so I had to literally crawl on the floor to put something big in there. The “kitchen” for the entire hostel is this tiny fridge (photo below). Plus a microwave. That’s it. Yes it’s next to a trash can. Yes it’s less than 4’ tall. Yes this hostel sleeps more than 100 people nightly. How is this reasonable? When I want to save my $70 Miami leftovers for lunch the next day, I can’t do it here. Our room had a window slightly ajar and I asked for someone to close it around 6pm. They never came and it was super loud all night. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Facilities were nicely maintained.

    Do not stay here, the cleaning staff will steal your stuff when they clean, and you’re not there. Also we had to ask for toilet paper multiple times before and after they “cleaned”. I guess they were too busy stealing our things instead of restocking our room. I liked the place before that happened, but now I can’t trust them anymore. We also told the front desk about our stolen items and they did nothing to remedy it.

    We stayed in room 401. The room was spacious and the view was great. We were able to see the pool side and street side. The room needed cosmetic upgrade as in fresh paint etc but nothing that really bothered us. House keeping was always on point and honestly never seen them come or go! The front counter staff were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely plan on coming back!

    Very affordable and central location for a stay in Miami! The beach and Ocean Dr. is right there and the hostel itself has nice amenities (pool, bar, restaurant with promotions you can redeem for staying in the hostel). The room was spacious and clean upon entry, although I don't think the room was ever cleaned by staff during my two-night stay. That would've been a nice touch. As far as sleep, I was able to get a good night's rest even in a six-bed dorm room because nobody was exceptionally loud. Nicolas and Matias at the front desk were also warm and accommodating which I appreciated. Lastly, I loved that the hostel rents out towels because I forgot to bring mine. All in all, I have no complaints and I will be back the next time I'm in MIA!

    My stay at the hostel couldn't be better! It was just perfect, the whole hostel is clean and comfortable. Staff is super receptive and always able to help the guests. A special thanks to Sheila, Dani, Nico and Juan who always helped me when I needed and also gave me good advices for trip.

  • 5/5 FERNANDO Z. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great hostel in a perfect position to enjoy Miami Beach. The activities organized by the hostel are well-thought and the price very convenient. People that work at the hostel are amazing. Great mention to Sheila and Hellen that work as hard as they party. I highly recommend Viajero hostel. See you next time.

  • 5/5 JoĂŁo H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great stay, perfect location, just one street from the beach: a hostel for backpackers and travelers who wish a youthful environment and vibe! Wonderful staff - super friendly, attentive and caring - who will make your stay be filled with options of things to do and daily activities in and outside the hostel. Viajero was a nice surprise and a place to stay whenever going to Miami again!

  • 5/5 Amanda B. 10 months ago on Google
    I had a really good experience! The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I stayed in a room with bunk beds for four women, and everyone I encountered was nice and respectful. Not the quietest at night because of music from the bar, and the kitchen was a tiny fridge and one microwave for everyone to share. Overall I felt very safe and had fun!

  • 5/5 Maurizio C. 11 months ago on Google
    The best hostel in Miami! I had an amazing experience at the hostel! Excellent location, decoration, attention, cleanliness and rooms. The staff is the best in the place! I want to especially mention Nico, Juan, Sheila and Grace. From the minute I arrived, they attended me from 10 so that I would start enjoying my stay instantly. Always with good vibes, doing inclusion activities to have fun. The place would not be the same without them! Without a doubt, I would choose it again just to see them again and share. Just say thanks and I hope to come back soon

  • 5/5 Hannan A. 9 months ago on Google
    Hands down one of the best hostels I have been too! The perfect cocktail of beach/pool, good vibes and parties, and hospitality. When you go please look for Nico, Juan or Lau! They made my trip unforgetable. Thanks to the rest of the staff and guests too. I can recommend and would love to be back someday.

  • 5/5 Alessia N. 9 months ago on Google
    Fantastic hostel! Also great for solo travelers (like me)!! If you don’t know what to do don’t worry because the staff organizes lots of fun activities to do, from the morning to the night !!! Great location, everything is very close. Showers to be reviewed a bit but overall great stay! Thank you :)

  • 5/5 Vedant K. 11 months ago on Google
    -Rooms were clean and well maintained. -Very convenient location, just a block away from Ocean Drive and South Beach -Great events and awesome hosts, overall a very friendly environment. Met some awesome people from all around the world and made some really good friends. I am an introvert who loves traveling solo but struggles to socialize with people but trust me you would not feel alone there. The hosts (Nico, Sheila and Grace) went above and beyond to make sure I was having a good time and made me feel at home. Taking a lot of good memories from this place. Great experience overall. Cheers!

  • 5/5 Nick D. 4 months ago on Google
    Loved my stay here. Incredible boutique hostel that instantly gets you feeling like you are part of south beach. The staff and other guests are the highlight of the stay. Yes the location is great but the people really go above and beyond to make it a comfortable and fun experience. I remember Shelia by name as one of the members of the team that were particularly good. Atmosphere down by the pool is top notch. Only thing they could improved is some things in the room like easy to access plugs and temp of water. It’s a hostel so it did t impact my stay but I did notice it.

  • 5/5 Alexia Y. 5 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Viajero Hostel in Miami, and I can confidently say that it was one of the most memorable experiences. From the moment my brother and I stepped into the hostel, we were greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The vibrant decor and lively ambiance set the perfect tone for my birthday celebration. What truly made our stay extraordinary, however, was the outstanding service we received from Cesar. Cesar guided me and other guests of the hostel on where to go for the nightlife and even walked us to-and-from a venue to make sure we found it safely!! Cesar gives Viajero that authentic hostel experience, where you can tell he wants to elevate the guest's stay and make sure everyone is having a good time. The bar on the pool deck is very nice, with special priced drinks for hostel guests, but do not forget to go to the Twizzle which is the bar under the hostel! We did not expect there to be such a cool bar underground because we did not see anyone entering, but one night we decided to venture down and were very surprised to see a full lively bar! The activities organized by the hostel are very fun, I strongly suggest coming to this hotel if you are alone or are specifically looking to do activities with other people. This is not a place to come and catch up on rest, it is the perfect place to party and make friends! The rooms were very clean, although I did find that the house keeping staff would enter our rooms periodically without much warning. For a fantastic hostel experience in Miami, look no further than Viajero Hostel, where Cesar's outstanding service elevates the stay to a five-star experience. We can't wait to return for another enjoyable visit.

    Stayed at Viajero this past weekend and had a great time. Rooms were clean and some even have balconies overlooking the street. Good spot for your money and in a prime location. Be sure to hit up Swizzle by the pool and stop by the late night parties outside of it as there are many other people to meet and have good time with

  • 5/5 Ricardo A. 4 months ago on Google
    I really love staying here the service, staff, and environment are excellent. I never had any issues with staying here. They have great activities every day and the rooms and areas are clean and the staff is welcoming and ready to help you make your stay better. I would like to give a special shout out to Laura and Facundo at the front desk they have been great. Also Shayla has been great as always too.

  • 4/5 Denis M. 4 months ago on Google
    The Room was good and the location also but we booked a tour to the Everglades, unfortunately the bus didn't come and the tour was simply canceled. Of course it's a different company that organizes the tours but we still booked through the hotel. Unfortunately the hotel didn't care. Next time I would recommend offering a small compensation, e.g. a drink at the bar. I still give it 4 stars because everything else was good

  • 5/5 Maria ïżœ. 3 months ago on Google New
    The whole experience was great! That’s what you look for in the hostel, when you want to meet new people and have fun not spending a lot of money! The receptionists were very helpful and made sure everyone is having a good time (especially Sheila and Hellen) Definitely recommend, best hostel in Miami Beach!

  • 5/5 Ollie W. 5 months ago on Google
    Cracking hostel, everything you want from such a stay. Perfect location, great staff, cool little rum bar in the back by the pool. The bunk beds are more like stacked little cabins, you have your own locker (bring your own padlock) and each room has got a separate shared bathroom. Very clean, good AC, top marks.

  • 5/5 Chana T. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently stayed at Viajero, and I can't say enough about the amazing staff, especially Dani, Nico, and Melly. From the warm welcome to their helpful recommendations, they went above and beyond. I highly recommend this hostel if you’re coming to Miami ! Unforgettable stay guaranteed with this remarkable staff. Kudos to Dani, Nico, and Melly for making my visit exceptional, each in their own unique way !!

  • 5/5 Michael D. 1 year ago on Google
    Viajero Hostel is an excellent location to explore South Beach from. Everything was clean, the staff wonderful and the dorm spaces bigger than expected. I stayed two nights in the 4 bed mixed dorm. The curtained dorm beds provided quiet, comfortable privacy. While I didn't use the pools, the pool area was a nice area to sit out in the evening for a beverage before bed.

  • 4/5 Ashleigh M. 10 months ago on Google
    The stay for the first time in Miami was great. The hospitality is great. Front desk is great. Nate the bartender made our entire stay! Such a cool bartender. Makes great drinks. $5 drink specials for guests. They were actually delicious. I would give them 5 stars but the room is lacking. It was not cleaned well. Floors were dirty. The fan in bathroom is broken. No shower door? Pillows had makeup from previous guests. Location is amazing. Close to everything. My boyfriend and I didn’t feel unsafe walking in the area. Close to the beach. 2 blocks. Definitely happy I went with this hotel. Will book again in the future.

  • 5/5 Emily K. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved my stay at Viajero Hostel. Met so many fun people and the hostel has great activities, led by Sheila! Sheila is the best, she takes you out to the best places and makes sure everyone has a great time, no one is left out with her! The location is EXCELLENT for the beach, I don’t think you can get much better, and you are surrounded by restaurants, bars and nightlife. I will definitely stay here next time I visit.

  • 5/5 Angelica L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time stay at Viajero! It was close to everything nearby and the beach. And the staff was super helpful! I had a group of 6 people or friends coming from different parts of the world; so we had separate bookings, but the staff was able to group our entire group. We're so grateful for them! Definitely would recommend and stay here again in the future.

  • 5/5 Tyler L. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazingly location makes the Viajero a great value for the money. The staff was friendly and check-in/check-put were seamless. The room and bathroom were sparkling clean, and the shared room was more comfortable than any other I've ever stayed at in my 15 years of traveling. Night front desk attendant Juan helped me catch my ride to the airport on time despite my having a very early flight. Would absolutely stay again next time I am in Miami!

  • 5/5 Alyssa A. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed here for 5 nights and we loved it ! Our room was king size room and room was perfect and clean. The staff in hotel is super friendly and helpful butThe most amazing thing about here was the location for sure! It’s super close to everywhere we wanted to go. Very nice restaurant around. Overall it was amazing 5 nights. Highly recommend 💜

  • 5/5 Shaina A. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn’t expect my stay in Miami will be this comfortable. My partner and I were there for the weekend. The hotel was very welcoming, there were activities for you to enjoy, if you don’t have anything planned. The host Sheila and Nicolas were fabulous, always there to welcome you with a smile. Prompt response to your needs. The lobby area was such a delight 😍

  • 5/5 rspedron87 1 year ago on Google
    I am typically weary of staying in south beach but decided to give Viajero Hostel a chance. I am glad I did! The rooms are comfortable, hostel is centrally located, and superbly staffed. One name comes to mind...MATT. From check in to check out and all in between, Matt displays impeccable charisma and attention to detail with a smile that lights up the room and welcomes all. All part of having excellent customer service. I will definitely be staying here again!

  • 5/5 Kristian F. 1 year ago on Google
    Location it’s just perfect, really close to Ocean Drive and also the beach. The structure is awesome, 3 pools, an internal bar and for who needs to work the internet connection at the Library is really good quality! The staffs are really attentive and try to help whenever you need, specially Sheila, she handle everything with fun and responsibility. The only thing that I think that can be improved is having more source of power at the rooms (sockets). I will probably stay here again; for sure!

  • 5/5 Nancy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Viajero Miami's location is excellent! It is within walking distance of everything. 10-minute walk to the beach and between a 2 to 15-minute walk to any bar/restaurant, depending on what you want to try. The facilities are beautiful, you can tell it's new, as everything is clean. The room has curtains on each bed for privacy, as well as your own charging station with a nightlight. The pool is beautiful as well as the bar in the lower area. Nate is the most amazing bartender there. The only con is that since it's a pretty big hostel it's just a bit hard for solo travelers to meet others.

  • 1/5 Ronaldo A. 2 years ago on Google
    I was promised compensation for my two night horrendous stay but these people are not honest after you leave. The hostel, remind you “hostel” not “hotel” the hostel is not Stiles Hotel and still illegally falsely advertises it on their websites is not a four star hotel yet rather a travel lounge for travelers carrying themselves from around the world. The hostel is not suitable for elderly, pregnant people, people who like to sleep and spend tourist days at Miami Beach rather bring strangers back to Viajero Hostels. Hospitality does not exist here and I didn’t get that experience. Spent $400 and was also informed that the pool wasn’t working and charged me extra for resort fees. Elevator smells horrible and had a lot of chewed nails and fake hair. Many residents of Viajero Hostel possibly carry Covid-19. No one wears a mask here nor does the staff as you can see their smiles during the pandemic. My second night my pregnant wife was woken up seven times since 4am with the fire alarm. People smoke in the hostels because it’s a small fine that they could just add to their extremely cheap hostel room. Still awaiting my $400 refund before I contact the better business bureau for falsely advertising the four star Stiles Hotel for a one star hostel and neglecting multiple customers for refunds via “google reviews”

  • 5/5 Jeniffer A. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! The best place for travelers. The experience, the front desk everything. And they have a good rate not include breakfast but the location is wonderful. If I have to select one place for sleep I took Viajero Hostels.

  • 5/5 Jason M. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is great. The location can't be beat. Literally 1 one block away from the beach. The room was clean and comfortable. There's an awesome bar down by the pool. Nate and Jose were great bartenders. And the Manager Will was so accommodating. Definitely will return. Plus: the price was the best on the beach.

  • 5/5 Donald D. 2 years ago on Google
    Yo, this place is awesome. The staff is very courteous and kind. Very attentive to your needs and will address any issues you may have at the drop of a hat. The food is very good, the rooms are clean, the air conditioning was cold and this hostel is a block away from Ocean Drive and of course the beach. You can't get a better location. If your looking for a hostel with great rates and all the amenities, this is your place. And did I mention the 3 swimming pools.

  • 5/5 Iliana V. 2 years ago on Google
    Stayed here with a group of 8 people. They accommodated my friends and I to two rooms for 4 people. I absolutely loved our stay here. The front desk people are super accommodating and they made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. They held our luggage the day we arrived since our flight was early and check in wasn’t until later in the day. They also held our luggage through the day after we checked out while we waited for our time to head to the airport. I will be staying here again! 10/10 recommend.
