SoBe Hostel & Bar

Rooms and bathrooms are clean and the receptions are nice. Kitchens doesn't look perfect but it does the job. The price might seems to be cheap but there are many better options with this price especially if you're not traveling alone. One of the problems we had was the bathroom because they clean those between 8-9 a.m. which is time for shower and getting ready. Also, reception forgot to give our IDs back so came back all the way. I wish the reception was more considerate and make the check in a bit faster.

Good points: location.. can’t think of anything else Bad points: facilities, cleanliness, staff, comfort Everything seems like it’s either broken or about to be broken. The fridge is out of order, the toilets all have a problem either the doors don’t close or the whole toilet is out of order, even the tiles on the floor are cracked. The shower doors don’t close or the shower doesn’t run properly. The beds are really small and uncomfortable. The towels and sheets are stained. The windows don’t open in the rooms. The internet only works in the downstairs lounge which is small and uncomfortable. The staff didn’t give us any information when we checked in so we didn’t know about breakfast, happy hour, check out, or any important information. Basically we booked for two nights but stayed for

The location was the only good thing about this hostel. The parking was full at first and when we finally got a spot it cost. The beds were uncomfortable and very noisy. The AC did not work so it was very hot inside. The most awful thing were the bathrooms. The showers and toilets were very dirty, there were no working locks, the toilets did not work and the smell was disgusting. Would not go again!

It’s like prison. Would give 0 stars, if possible. Pros: location - very walkable Cons: Toilets were blocked up. Shower had caution type around it. No air conditioning. Small window unit that didn’t work properly. Customer service was nonexistent. Smell was was horrendous. No towels provided. Dirty everything. Kitchen was horrible. Again, seemed like we were in prison. I wish all the reviews reflected the hostel. We left on the first night. We did not complete our stay because it was so bad. We request reimbursement.

I can't say enough good things about this place! I've stayed here 4 times throughout the 4 years I've lived in Florida (Tampa Bay) and it's just the best. The location is only two blocks from the beach and they offer (limited number) residential parking passes which have been a lifesaver for me! They always have some fun events/trips going on..I've been to club LIV with a group put together from the hostel and I had so much fun! Staff is always friendly and helpful, rooms are clean, showers are clean, free breakfast....the list goes on and on! For real, I love this place so much!
