Deco Walk Hostel

I have stayed at this hostel for over a week and its pretty new. Lobby is nice and it has a terrece being put together thats looks very nice so far. The building is pretty quiet. Joel herrero from the front desk is very proffessional and juggles alot of people with needs i noticed. somehow seems to make everything work making sure everyone is happy at all times. pablo padron was also very accommodating making me feel welcomed and at home. Thanks guys i will be reccommending this to friend and i hope to see joel and pablo when i return!

One of my best hostel experience ever!!!
My 5 best friends and I booked a reservation for memorials weekend.
The stuff were super friendly and I just realized I didn’t upload any review, even though I promised the stuff I will.
The hostel is located in the best location in Miami beach, with an amazing rooftop, great ocean view.
The hostel was super clean, which is very important when you share rooms with other people…
I specially want to thank Bryan that helped me with all of our needs (airport shuttle, coupons for local restaurant, free entrance for parties).
I def recommend anybody that read this review to check out this amazing hostel…

I stayed here for 2 weeks for a sunny getaway. Even though most of it was thunder and rain. Haha I got checked in by William. Very sweet and and great with recommendations! The staff was very friendly. The lobby was quite homey and I loved how the window looked over ocean drive!
He showed me to my room and handed me freshly washed covers and linens. The rooms were well kept and the bunk beds were quite comfy. There was air conditioning in all room so the heat wasn’t too uncomfortable. There was space around the beds to shove all your luggage and stuff in and lockers for valuables.
I was told to go upstair to check out the bar that night. Cutest little roof bar ever! Not too crowded. I had taken bartending classes during my stay so the bartender at the hostel would let me help out every once in a while. They had a hot tub, a big projector screen beds and sofas everywhere. Very comfortable spot to chill.
At the front desk, they had information on tons of excursions and mini trips for guests to look through and the staff happily helped with booking! I got to go on a trip to key west, a day trip to the Bahamas and some of my roommates went on the everglades tour which they said was amazing.
I loved staying here! I met so many cool people and all the places the staff recommended we’re great! I also love the fact that it’s so close to the beach!

My friends and I had reserved a room for 10, during memorial day weekend. We arrived 30mins early to check in. The chick at the front desk had no customer service skills. She had attitude. We were waiting for our rooms supposedly they were cleaning them. When we got our room keys to go to the room, the room did not look clean. The bathroom and tub were gross. I wore my sandals to shower. The toilet had no lid. the hallway of our room outside smelt like someone vomited. We got a towel, pillow, and sheets each.
We paid about $ 50 a person for a room for 12. We liked the fact that it was walking distance from the beach on ocean drive.
The elevator to get to the desk was iffy felt like it would get stuck. Also inspection tag is expired. Also the new rule is you can’t stay here if you are from Florida. You have to be a foreigner. For sleeping its okay but I wouldn’t bring anything valuable and expensive to leave in the room its not 100% secure.

You get what you pay for. Don’t expect a 5 star resort

Stayed here during the Miami Beach World Cup Beach POLO Tournament and am extremely glad I did.
Loved the location because it is RIGHT in the heart of South Beach, a super great location.
The accommodations were more than adequate, and for what I paid, it was like getting a 5 Star accommodation for a unbelivable bargain price!
If anyone is looking for a South Beach bargain — THIS is it!

Everything started out fine then it all went to crap…
My boyfriend and I were staying here before a week cruise we were taking out of Miami, we spent a lot on the cruise so we decided to check out the hostel situation.
I will be fair and give a list of Pros and Cons even though the overall experience SUCKED
Pros: Literally across the street from the beach, really great rooftop area, and very close to the nightlife.
Cons: They apparently dont have a limit on how long one can stay which makes people feel entitled and act like they own the place (a neighbor of ours was loud and obnioxious at all hours of the night to the point where a guy in our room told him to be quiet and it caused a huge fight in the alley involving bricks, the N word, etc),
The rooms are TINY, smallest I have seen
Front desk staff doesnt know the meaning of customer service: I realized I had left an expensive item in one of the lockers there and called while on my cruise (3.99 a minute –_​-​) to ask if the had seen anything or if they coud please check when they had a chance the guy said that he didnt know and that I should check with housekeeping when I get back (a week later mind you). He was worthless so I wrote an email asking for some kind of help with the matter, I even said they didnt have to go out of their way but to please check next time they booked someone in that room… No respone. I called yet again once off of the boat and the woman who answered just said she didnt have anything turned in… hmm well maybe if lazy guy number 1 could have checked a week ago when I first called you might have them. I also asked if the email I wrote to was correct and she said yes… oh so you just dont respond to emails, cool.
Still ranting on the front desk: My boyfriend went back to book one night once we returned because I wanted to stop by and actually look for my lost item myself and didnt want to deal with traveling up to Fort Lauderdale right then. Once he gets in they tell him that the room was thourougly cleaned and no items were found so he couldnt go check (yet when we stayed the week before there were bags and boxes of peoples items that had stayed before not touched by housekeeping). After he books his room we realize that our friends had booked us at another hostel already, so 15 inutes after booking he tells the manager that he doesnt need the room. The manager refuses to refund the money! He tells my boyfriend that he can wait in the lobby and try to sell his room to someone else.
SERIOUSLY GO F*CK yourself dude
Note: I understand that it is not the staffs fault that I left something behind it jut woud have been nice to talk to someone who sounded like they cared. Also I may have grammatical errors in this review because my boyfriends computer has a weird European keyboard.
Moral of the story: This place is a freaking gamble that I would not take again, I am currently writing this reveiw from another hostel in south beach and it is 1000 times better and is less expensive, and comes with free drink tickets. Just wish I had found it last week…

I stayed here two non-​consecutive nights and am fairly pleased overall. The first night was pretty uneventful and I spent very little time in the hostel at all. For the second night, I had a bit more time to get a feel for the place. I was initially quite frustrated because their online booking system seemed to have a glitch so it took them over an hour to check in three people so many of us were standing in line getting frustrated. The management went out of there way to make it up to me (and perhaps to other guests), and while one person there was slightly unpleasant, most staff was very friendly.
Meals are included here (simple meals like bagel with peanut butter for breakfast, tuna sandwich for lunch, meat spaghetti for dinner), which is a good deal in general, but I didn’t partake since I’m vegan and there was meat served at the meals during my stay.
The price is right, the hostel is clean, and it’s literally right across from the beach. There’s a big open rooftop with large TV screens, pool, and a jacuzzi. I hung out up there briefly and would imagine it would be really nice for a more extended stay.

I was at DecoWalk Hostel last month and had a blast, beach access is the best, place was super clean and roof top night life was a blast. Three thumbs up!!! Marc

Good little spot to just stop and have a seat with your friends or boyfriend. I was here on a friday night after leaving shack shake. Me my boyfriend and his brother were walking south beach and while he went to get a fat tuesday drink I was craving a milk shack. I know I know your probably saying «hey didn’t she just leave shack shake? Why not get one there»? Well at that time I didnt want one you know how that works lol. Anyway I walked up to the little stand in front of deco walk and asked for a Vanilla milk shake my fav. It took here forever to make it but once it was done it was deelish and pretty big too. So we sat down out there finish our treats had a good time looking at all the weirdos and went home after I got my parking ticket :(. Some way to end the night. Its an ok place, is it a must no because I could find better but for that night its what it was.

Just fat catting enjoying my cigar with a long beach ice tea that I got from Fat Tuesday sitting on the sidewalk at a table «people watching» as I was told. My baby had a milkshake from the stand on the sidewalk and she said it was good. Oh yeah one time for the homeless man who thought I was famous because a couple people spoke to me and he said you have to be somebody famous because everyone keep talking to you haaa.
