The hotel tells me that expedia write fake information aboutvtheir rooms. I paid 100$ for 8 bed female dormitory. Instead I was put in 30 bed mixed dormitories. I just tried to talk to the reception and he told me that they don't have this, they are refusing to transfer me to 8 bed dormitory although i paid for this. They are insisting that they don't have it available and it's falth of expedia, and that they have nothing to do with qhat expedia sell. They refused to offer the services i paid for. This hotel is extremely dirty on top of everything. The receptionist is Eric, the ruddest person ever. This is realy horible not welcoming, and not comfortable pleace. Do not recommend

Stayed at this property and enjoyed every minute. There is a full kitchen minus a stove and move lounge area with TV. The pool was the best, a bit cool but so nice to have. Beds have individual locking drawers, metal and a bit loud but big enough to fit your carry on luggage. Bathrooms and showers are coed so not alot of privacy. People will complain about anything. So one bathroom is without a lock... Don't use that one! The private dorms are very nice. You get a security code and key card to enter. I never felt afraid. Great Happy Hour say the local bar about 8 blocks away. Took me 25 minutes to walk and the drinks are starting. Great way to meet people. I can't wait to return, would definitely come back to same location.

Muthukumar

Hostel is in the thick of things on south beach/ocean drive and collins Ave. You are in the middle of the party. Checkin, access everything was smooth. Staff changed my bed next day when the lock didn't work smoothly. Toilets aren't cleaned early enough in the morning; Lights are out until 10.30 am and staff come to clean only around that time. Toilet was a mess on one of the mornings (was a Sunday, they may not have had cleaning staff on Sunday; I don't know); thankfully it was my checkout day and didn't use it on that morning. I have stayed in dorm style hostels before. But Posh was little odd as all dorm beds were crammed in 3 huge halls. The upper bed doesn't leave enough height to the ceiling in some of the beds and is a safety hazard. Also feel the space is a fire safety hazard; no way they can evacuate easily. They had a pool which I didn't use as I was busy exploring the city. I visited Key West on one of the days; the coach I booked picked me in front of white claw hotel which was convenient in the morning.
Response from TM, Guest Relations on 21 Jun 2023
Hello Muthukumar. It's nice to know that you liked our amazing location, in the heart of South Beach, with the famous Ocean Drive just one block away. However, we are disappointed to learn that you did not have a better overall stay. Our hostel has an open concept, so the beds are in one area. We would not be operational if we did not have safety measures in place. Our housekeeping staff cleans the common areas regularly, but please keep in mind that each guest is on their own schedule, so the frequency of guests outweigh the frequency in which we can address these areas throughout the day. Our apologies for any inconvenience. We appreciate all feedback.

I got food poisoning from a different establishment my first night there and the staff member was really helpful to me. I really appreciated him going above and beyond. I was able to stay the rest of my trip and everything was good. The cleaning people did a good job cleaning every day. I was in a girls dorm and it would have been better to have been able to close the door for privacy to dress.

Posh Beach Hostel is an amazing Hostel! The location is really in the heart of south beach! Everything is close by 7/11, CVS pharmacy, Clubs, Restaurants Etc. The atmosphere is a modern chill safe, clean and secure vibe. It has all the main amenities one needs in a Hostel! They have a full fridge, microwave and kitchen sink. The pool is a major added bonus with the beach just about a 7 minute walk. They have a living room TV area. They offer a free Happy Hour daily at one of there sister properties which is a great way to meet people. But everyone is forgetting that this is a hostel and you have to be respectful and mindful of others, they have rules you have to follow. I would recommend this hostel to anyone. I've stayed in others hostels around the world and this is a really good one.

My first Hostel with a pool ... Wow ! Fantastic EXCELLENT Location ... I would stay here again in a heartbeat if I didn't learn about another hostel up the street that my bike tour guide pointed out ... it's 10 times better for the same price . Not as good of a location as POSH but every bit as safe or safer and only 5 minutes up the strip by bicycle.

I have stayed here in the past Pre Pandemic and in thr past ive had an awsome time. Checked in and did not use the locker because I was going to Orlando so I left the key with the check in gentleman. When I came back the key was missing and I had to be put in the 1st dorm room which initially I did not request because of the lound noise from the kitchen area at night. The TV stayed at the maximum volume up until the lights went out at 11pm. Noticed quite a few bunks had people sleeping in them together which is not allowed. Even though there are rules it has become very lax there.

I enjoyed my stay ,amazing pool ,location , security, stayed three weeks. My criticism s would be guest the checked out left so much food in the fridge their was little space for guest that were actually staying there. Microwave is super loud and at night the clerk turns the TV down so low you can't here anything. Some of the guest were slobs ,my heart goes out to your cleaning ladies they deserve a raise for dealing with all that. See you next year!

HORRIBLE ! Avoid at all cost
You basically pay to be in a homeless shelter format stay. Thete are rats running around. And homeless people in front if the door. As a women I felt unsafe and security made me go through the back door instead of making the homeless person go. They have weird rules which totally entails that there was a lot of problems previously. No security. Everything is open, like the bathroom and the showers. There is absolutely no security if you shower anyone can come in. You can hear everything if people go to the bathroom. The kitchen was a mess and completely disgusting. I dont even understand why this property is listed here. You need to make your bed and they dont even do that for you for 100$ a nigh on a bunkbed with 56 other people with NO PRIVACY ! No changing room but they have a rule about not being naked. You pay so much money for no reason at all. They are sketchy and cheap and are here just for your money. Pay an extra 10$ a night and go somewhere decent
