I think some reviewers need to remember this is a hostel! It's not a hotel, service may not equal the Hyatt but for what it is... it's great! Michael the owner operator is friendly and helpful. My friend and I arrived after a 30 hour drive and he let us check into the mixed dorm early. You are a short... More

I know it's the only hostel in town but it's superexpensive for what it is.. It's the most basic hostel i've ever stayed in!! I would rather pay a little bit extra than stay here.. The rooms look like in the military and the bulgarian guy who's in charge of the hostel is just helpful when you're checking in, other... More

I had a great trip in Key West. the service is good, location is good, and the price is the cheapest one in Key West. And i made a lot of friend there. this hostel is definitely a good choice to live.

It is very unfortunate that this is the only youth hostel in the key west (June 2012). When I walked in the male dorm I was very disappointed and actually wondered whether I was still in the US. Here are some of the problems: 1) The bunks were old made of wood and some were broken. Two of them were... More

I was forced to stay there, because I've got stuck on Key West. Russian girl on the front desk was quite helpful, but the rest was awful. She offered me a private room for !$65! or dorm for !! $45 !! I took dorm, because private would be nearly the same price as hotels around. So I paid and what... More

Ended up paying roughly $35 p/n for a three bed motel room. For the price, the room was very decent. Two double beds, own bathroom and communal kitchen to use. Good location - five minutes walk away from the beach. Only downside was the location to the airport/grey hound bus station. Buses don't really operate in Key West so we... More

I am a frequent hosteller so I have a tolerance for the differences between hotels and hostel accommodations. That said, my hopes were high for Seashell - amazing location blocks from Duval St. and the Southernmost marker. At check-in, I was surprised when my total for a one-night stay came to $122.83! The posted room rate was $89.00. I didn't... More

BRIEF: DO NOT GO HERE - WORST MISTAKE YOU CAN MAKE IN KEY WEST! I have been across the world in many forms of luxury in hostels and hotels. This is one of the worst places i have seen in a while. The mixed dorm has bunk beds of a type that i assume are found in prisons. They are... More

Very nice hostel. It has clean rooms with enough space, a beautiful patio with an open kitchen with barbecue and tables, chairs, parasols. It's right at the beach, there is free parking space. Just a little dust from the airco...
