Freehand Miami is a relatively new and stylish entrant into the hostel scene in Miami. It is housed in a renovated art deco building plus a few satellite buildings in its sizable garden, with a tiki bar and an adjoining restaurant.
The Location
The hostel is located in the South Beach area, a neighborhood full of upscale hotels and restaurants and with a very active nightlife. It is a safe neighborhood and there are several more hostels based in the general vicinity. The hostel itself is only two blocks from the beautiful South Beach. There is a supermarket, a sandwich shop, a coffee shop, and a liquor store only a couple of minutes away by walk.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostel has four-, six-, and eight-bed dorms plus private rooms. Each dorm has two bathrooms with a toilet and bathtub. The beds are sturdy and comfortable and they come with reading lights and outlets to charge your electronic devices. There are lockers in the room enough for each person, but you must have your own lock with you, or you can buy them at the hostel from the vending machine. Rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, but the quality of cleaning could be improved. And at night, music from the bar can be a problem for light sleepers, as the rooms are not soundproofed.
Common Spaces
Freehand Hostel has an extensive common area, both indoors and out in its beautiful garden full of greenery and a swimming pool. It is perfect for chilling in the sun with a book. Your own food and drinks are not allowed in this area, however, because it is part of the bar. They do make great cocktails at the bar, and there is a free drink for hostel guests every evening between 5 and 6 p.m. There is a guest kitchen and lounge area behind the swimming pool where you can enjoy your own food and drinks.
Summary
All in all, Freehand is a great hostel from which to enjoy the perks of Miami with its onsite swimming pool and the beach nearby (a beach towel is provided by the hostel against a deposit). It has a good, relaxing vibe during the day and a more of a cocktail-party atmosphere at night.
