Staff are running this hostel like a group home or shelter. Needs better management. The freehand brand is suffering. I've stayed at freehand for over 10 years and can't believe how bad it's gotten .. I'll never stay at Freehand again.

Disliked: Staff & service
The Front desk staff were somewhat friendly upon check in .. however, after a few days they became very cold and abrasive. Tried calling the front desk several times and they never answered the phone. Horrible experience on behalf of the front desk. Not sure I'll ever stay at freehand again

This place has gone downhill over the years. Stayed there 3 years ago and loved the vibes. Went again a week ago and it was incredibly dirty and stinky every where, the elevator barely works.

Richard

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff seems to think they are running a group home or prison halfway house. Very disrespectful and condescending tone when in conversation with several of the staff at front desk. They speak little English and seem to cloak the fact that they do not understand English profient enough to be hotel management or front desk staff. I encourage the hiring managers to find replacements. Horrible experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I checked in to see someone in my bed, then was given a different bed to only come back to someone else in my new bed again after dinner. So I complained and switch the room I originally payed for because I was so upset at what they allowed to happen and I was tired from my trip and first day there and ended up in a much worse room with less amenities and a mold smell, my bed side light wasn’t working and had no covers to sleep with they replaced my cover with two thin sheets. I never got the problem resolved no one apologized for the poor treatment I was just so unhappy with my first time being in Miami at that hotel!

My stay at Freehand Miami was good, my room and bathroom was the perfect size for me it was very spacious. The staff were very accommodating as well. The beach was round the corner 2-3 minute walk with a grocery store close by. However, as this is a hostel there will be noise you should expect banging on doors, shouting ect from the hours 8-12pm so if you’re an early bedtime person expect to be woken up.
