“Loved the atmosphere and location on south beach. Short walking distance from everything was amazing! Loved the food at the restaurant and drinks from bar. I appreciated that they were able to accommodate my early check in when I arrived at 11am. Wonderful staff!! Every person we met was so sweet and helpful!”

“The room was clean, very organized and you have some privacy with your own charging station and some kind of private bed.”

“reception accommodated my booking thankfully it was a flex booking through booking.com”

“A very quaint and charming place! The layout, the garden, the pool with surrounding palm and coconut trees, the lobby with that gorgeous wooden ceiling - beautiful! As you sat out in the patio, you could here the birds chattering, giving a tropical feel - there was even a local iguana! A rustic locale, not for those looking for spit shine and polish, but for you down to earthers, you'll dig it! Great music always playing in the lobby!”

“The place is great and comfortable, very close to the beach only 3 minutes walking, and many buses are coming every now and then to downtown and different areas. I was so happy staying at Freehand.”

“Booked a bed for a long layover, basically to take a nap and relax. Did both and exceeded expectations. Will now book in the future for an extended stay. Attentive staff and a great experience.”

“the decor , the cleanliness, music , restaurant on site , friendly staff, amenities as if a full service hotel”

“Localisation, room very nice, confortable bed and felt safe!”

“It had all the amenities of the surrounding resorts without the cost.”

“Loved the garden interior and relaxed vibe. Lots of young people at the hostel. I was a solo female traveler and requested a room with only women at the last minute and they accommodated me :) the women in my room were great! The room had 4 bunk beads in a sunny quiet clean room with a private bathroom. I was just in Miami for a very last minute overnight stay, and the other choices in Miami were exorbitantly expensive - so if you are social and understand it’s a hostel with shared personal space, not a fancy-pants hotel, this is a fantastic and creative choice with a little jungly pool and bar with lots of character right near the beach!”
