Had a wonderful week here at Freehand Miami. Like the outdoor area with an amazing pool and the guest kitchen allowing us to cook. It’s clean and the staff really friendly too. It’s overall a great stay for vacation.

Great place to stay for solo travellers or group of friends travelling together! Super close to the beach (approx. 7 minutes)!!!!!! Good breakfast! Swimming pool open for the guests all day! Highly recommend for a short break!

It was all good. The pool area is super super nice and romantic. The staff is nice and location is great. Value-Money is definitely super!

The location and hostel very great. The outdoor area was amazing and in the evening it looked spectacular. Staff was friendly and very helpful, the rooms pretty cozy and a small breakfast included in price was a great morning snack. And of course, can’t beat the price. Free bikes for 2 hour use (more for extra charge) and rental of beach towels was a great add on as well.

Breakfast at 8 was a bit late for family with children. It was also very self sufficient. It was ok. I missed eggs and bacon and other things I would have liked to have eaten but it was clear that it wasn't going to be a standard served breakfast. Thank goodness for the refrigerador for the baby's food and milk. I liked the restaurant very much, the awesome cocktail I drank and the pool area. I liked the staff, nice to talk too and the area. Quiet and nice for families-no loud noises and nice beach-mid beach. I grew up with South Beach. I appreciated the trolley stop and bus stop near the hostel. This was great.

Great location, close to the beach and walking distance to the main street. Includes a very popular bar and restaurant. Clean, hipster and great value for the price.

Advertised breakfast then told everyone it was cancelled after organizing our morning around breakfast and wander around the property to look for it. At the very least, being told at check in would have been the professional thing to do. Bar staff more interested in chatting with each other than serving drinks. The restaurant portions were very small for the price.
beautiful property, clean and the rooms are bigger than expected.

The rooms were really outdated. It needed a good paint and some maintenance Jobs in the bathroom and showers. The curtains were originally white but they looked almost grey from the dust...... The staff DO NOT speak English well enough and the bar staff aren't the friendliest either..... they'd kick you outta chair if another group arrives eventhough you're chilling at the bar in you own hostel.
The convincy of the restaurant, bar and pool. It was good that it is close to lots of cafes and supermarkets. There's good public transport link.

The bathroom in my room needs a face lift from the sounds the toilets makes when you flush it, to bathtub needing to be redone. I think I was expecting a lot more because of how much their rates are. Also the washer and dryer were broken and I had to ended up spending $18 on catching Uber’s to and from the nearest laundry mat and it still hadn’t been fixed by the time I left. It was a bit disappointing, the location is also far from where most things are. I won’t stay there again, rather stay somewhere else.
The bar/ pool area was nice and lobby was nice.

It's a party Hostel, so non-guest are constantly in an out during the wee hours of the morning. The staff is not very informative about the extras provided by the hotel. And they no longer offer free breakfast which booking stated that they did.
That it was so close to the beach.

We stayed at this hotel years ago when it was still called the Indian Creek Hotel, we come to Miami often and we liked the position and remembered we liked it the first time so we got back.We understand since our last stay the hotel.has changed name and property and now is home to a younger crowd/semi hostel type of structure, but our experience this time was very bad.The check in staff does not seem to care much about what they do or you.Not a word of welcome or a smile.No useful information about what to do in town those days.We got our room on the 3rd floor and there were food leftovers in the fridge, the floor did not seem properly clean and the mattress was very uncomfortable, not to mention it was covered with plastic underneath the sheets...the next morning we woke up early and headed to the pool(no breakfast served, not even coffee or tea!) .the pool area was literally stinking of cigarette and alcohol from the night before.the floor surrounding the pool was very dirty, the tables very dirty, using a simple broom to clean the area is not sufficient.the pool and chairs around it did not get ready for clients to use them before 9 .30! My sister and I work in the same industry and we highly recommend the manager to have someone taking better care of this lovely building.

I was disappointed that breakfast was all of a sudden not offered as promised online and on the in room flyer. Bikes also seemed to be mostly out of commission and not available. The front desk staff barely spoke English and made things not easy or helpful. I got a drink at the bar and sat in one of the outside chairs. I was promptly kicked off the chair and told it was because I needed to order from the outside waitress instead. That did not seem fair as I was a hotel guest and a bar customer.
Bed was comfortable. Bar was nice.

The room was dirty and really outdated. There was mould on bathroom walls and the shower just about spitted water out. The shower didn't drain. Non of the water basin taps worked properly. Bar staff aren't particularly nice. It's a shame because the hostel itself is really nice.
The facilities are good, it has swimming pool, bar and kitchen. The drinks and food were really good with reasonable prices. It has communal areas to chill.
