The dorms were an apartment, with the all the facilities of an apartment. A nice change from the traditional hostel bunk bend layout. Close to the airport and easy to get to and from the town centre. Very helpful staff

Overall Outstanding! Super helpful and friendly staff. Found location to be
centrally located to alot of stuff to do, as well as nearby shopping. No problem finding and got there by public transportation from airport.
Enjoyed the breakfast poolside in the morning. Finally all other guests were pretty cool. I recommend highly for the price.

Absolute good choice price/quality. Remark: I've read it before and I agree that this place can be of higher quality if some basic renovating things (painting and check waterloss by position curtain/shower, lockers, better lock on door, use of extra protection of mattress etc) would be done and replace the furniture with some 'modern items'. Breakfast is a nice moment 'to meet and greet' some new people. Nice bed, we slept fabulous. Nice possibility renting bicycles. If your demands are average and if you can deal with some minor things it's a good place to stay.

This hostel was very friendly. The owner is really helpful and the other travellers were very nice.
The room was clean and had TV, fridge and microwave.
The bathroom was clean.
The hotel was quiet and the area very safe. You can walk at night on your own. It is a residential area with a supermarket near the hotel and some shops on the main road.
I chose this hotel because it was close to the port Everglades where the ships leave. The location was very convenient for this and the price quite cheap.

Really nice staff people, it includes internet use, but don't be in a hurry if you wanna do that, because they have a slow connection. Good location too, very close to the beach and central Ft Lauderdale. You can see Quarterdeck, Liquors Stores and malls in this area. I recommend that!

Staff is helpful, but most of the time they're not in the office. You have to call them. Rooms are dirty with ants in it.

it is more like an hotel. Aand because of the 3 and 4 bed rooms it is more like sharing an apartment.

The Bridge was amazing! The staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. They quickly helped us add a bed to our room and were able to give us accurate and helpful directions. I would highly recommend this hostel whether you're from the U.S. or abroad.
