The Hollywood Beach Suites, Hostel + Hotel

Stay here while visiting Big Vinny this place was so nice did not want to leave it was so relaxing so clean and all the restaurants are walking distance All I can say is we will be back.

We spent 2nights here as a group of 6 and had an amazing time! Great staff! I loved all the common areas to relax! Rooms were clean and great! Just about a block off the ocean. I will definitely stay here when I go back!

HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS PLACE TO STAY! I received a VERY LARGE ELECTRIC SHOCK near the outside shower here and after informing the staff, they were like ok we disconnected the electric by the ice maker no worries now. WHAT? How about asking me if there is anything we can do? Should we call an ambulance, right up an incidence report?? anything??? No nothing. I was not entitled to an incident report because Fabricio the person in charge at the time said they do not do this there– I asked to speak to the manger-​she was away I was told. He came up to me a few hours later and asked how I was feeling. He said If I was not feeling well and wanted a report I could call 911 myself. Well thank you for the concern. Another guest who heard me speaking said he was shocked the day before when using the outside hose to clean his cooler. I was told he would give me 25% off but when I checked out nothing was in the notes. I was more horrified about how the whole situation was handled. Quite frankly if it were my Dad that was shocked like that he would have died (he has a pacemaker) For them to treat it so lightly is very concerning. The Rooms here although very clean are uncomfortable. There are no hooks anywhere to hang things (wet towels or clothing) no Luggage caddies (put it on the floor I guess) The BEDS ARE SO HARD that I think the floor would have been softer, it also had a huge depression in the middle of it. The walls of the rooms are so thin that every outside, next door noise can be heard. I hardly got any sleep in this room. Definitely avoid the dorm rooms because the air conditioner in them seems to not work. I had to move rooms and forgot a bunch of stuff in a cabinet, that was never recovered. The complimentary coffee is served in tiny cups with powdered creamer and tastes like it’s been there for a year. Good thing it’s free because they should be paying me to drink that! The one redeeming quality of this hotel is the STAFF. Super nice and amazing (with the exception of Fabricio whom pretty much inferred to me that I was making up the electric shock incidence even though another guest vouched for me) Jenny, Laura and especially Hiram were exceptionally nice and accommodating. To sum up you get what you pay for! If a comfortable, quiet’s nice sleep is not important to you and your family’s safety is not important, then stay here. It is very close to the beach which is nice. The Taco shack on site has good food, but we all were sick the next day. NO THANK YOU!!!

Pleasantly surprised at this cute affordable hotel. Great location, just a short walk to the beach. Simple and clean rooms. Take advantage of the free bike rentals or surfboards. The outdoor showers were great after soaking up the sun. Love the taco shack next door, and there are tons of other options all on the boardwalk. There are great sitting areas all around the grounds to relax at. I’ll definitely be back!

The only thing I can say cleaning was bad!!! I stayed there for 6 days, the first day they didn’t clean it, or change out towels, second day they did, third day they showed up at 3 pm, I ended up getting ready in the car so they can clean it, the lady that was cleaning got in and out of the room like 4 times, after half an hour I went back to the room because I left something and the lady didn’t even start cleaning, maybe she was stealing things, next day they did came to clean it, but they only change two of hour towels, they never change our bed sheets, and they never refill the coffee and sugar!!!
Don’t stay here!

I had lots of fun meeting the many people from various countries here and learning about their cultures. Stayed here for $ 133.00 per week for up to 10 days then found a house 5 minutes from the strip on Hollywood Blvd.
Found out that other ppl were paying up to $ 2.000 per week just to stay on the beach. #Bargain

Halfway into my trip and what a great place. I paid $ 400 less for a suite here than at the next cheapest 3 star place on
. I must say this is closer to a 3.5 or 4 star quality hotel simply for the benefits.
They have complimentary coffee all day; free use of bikes, volleyball, surfboards, boogy boards, beach chairs, etc. Suites also come with microwave and mini fridge and there is a full kitchen and bbq grill in the common area.
Rooms are comfortable with recent updates and quality a.c. They floors in the room aren’t flat which is slightly annoying, but seems to be intentional to how the place was built.
Seems that a diverse age group stays here, from high schoolers through senior citizens, at least in the suites.
Located just a hundred feet or so from our room is the beach which makes trips to and from the beach very quick, without long elevator rides of many hotels. About 50ft from our rooms is a reasonably priced taco stand. For those wanting groceries there is a Publix 2 miles away. Finally, for this wanting to stock their fridge with alcohol the liquor store is across the street from the rooms.

The staff were amazingly friendly, helpful& smiling. especially the front desk and managerwnt every morning with beautiful smiles and attentions. the room was pretty nice, lovely and relaxing .I recommend this hotel. day we’ll get back there. I love quiet and being away from it all. 1 block to the beach but serene on a private little corner. Restaurant and bar was excellent as well

We very much enjoyed our time at the Hollywood beach hostel. The family suite felt much more like a private hotel than a hostel. The rooms were clean and spacious and the free beach gear: chairs, sand toys, towels were very helpful. One small inconvenience — one of the bathroom sinks did not turn on — but the other one did so that was ok. A few days into our stay the front desk ran out of beach towels for a couple days in a row, but since they were free anyway it wasn’t such a big deal. The communal kitchen was a nice bonus and a fun place to chat with tourists from all over the world.

A delightfully warm breeze wafts through my seafoam green room as I write this review… I am a block from the beach, and perhaps two blocks from the harbor opposite the ocean.
My towels are not folded in shape of animals, and mints do not await on my pillow when I return. This is a place to lay my head comfortably between Boardwalk strolls and sandy naps while waves nip and cool toes.
It is clean, with ample room, surrounded by Palm trees. If you’re lucky, perhaps you’ll find a sunbathing lizard. If you’re smart, you’ll house your clothes here while sunbathing yourself.
Enjoy.

This is my second review for this motel, experience so far is horrible. They put me in their «new building» which is a little town house. I paid the Same price as I use to pay for a way better and wayyyyy bigger nice room here. I feel like I’m in someone’s house in a little bedroom, my bedroom is so tiny with no view, thin walls I can hear absolutely everything the neighbors next door are doing while laying in the bed. No kitchenette which the lady at front desk told me there FOR SURE is one in here … This is so far the worst experience I ever had in a hotel. The doors are so shitty there’s bright light inside my tiny little bedroom from the hallway. This is def not worth the full price I paid for the «two peas in a pod room» I’m so disappointed im contemplating just leaving now and driving home :/​two thumbs down. I was really hoping to get a nice room like I am use to booking here by the taco shack :(

Just finished staying four nights here including a weekend.
The location was awesome right near the beach, restaurants, bars, & shopping.
Parking was available at the hotel but an additional $ 10 a day was charged to my credit card.
Free bike rental was great and we used their bikes to up and down the boardwalk a few times.
They also had loaner beach chair and umbrellas too.
The room was very «beachy» with no carpet and nice cold AC.
One bummer was the bathroom was very very small.
Bed was so comfy I slept like a dream there.
The nearby Taco Shack had good food and a happy hour every night 10pm til close
With $ 2 margaritas & $ 3 draft beer plus mini tacos 3 for $ 3.00
Overall I would go back again.

Love this place. Great service, clean so very nice people. My one and only complaint is that the rental equipment could be tuned up. (ex: boogie boards broken … Several of them). We will be back! I believe owners can fix a 10.00 issue :)

very close to the beach with a very inexpensive price tag. the room was quaint but very comfortable. every time i had encounter with the staff they were always pleasant.
it is not a 4 star resort, but for $ 55 a night right on the beach, i was very happy with my stay. they should offer a continental breakfast

We fell in love with this place. Clean, comfortable and spacious hotel. The location is perfect– right on the beach and next to many local eateries and shops. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, especially Bruno. I look forward to returning in the near future!
I highly recommend this place. :)

If using a debit card, put your deposit ($ 100) in cash or else it might take 7 – 14 days together it back. Free bike rental, quaint courtyards, basic but nice rooms nice staff. Parking $ 10 a night. Boardwalk is beautiful and right there. The only bargain place in town near the beach that isn’t terrifying.

Don’t know about the rooms, but the hostel was pretty terrible. They hand you linens at the front desk to make your own bed, like you’re in jail. The bunk beds are all loose and falling apart. There’s way too many bunk beds stuffed inside such a small area, so it’s stuffy. The hostel is co-​ed, which could be unsafe for women (there’s two hostels, so why not split men and women??). The linens were stained, guess they don’t use bleach. One of the mattresses had a large bloodstain, not sure why they didn’t just simply replace it. The mattresses are so small, my feet hung off the edge. Don’t recommend the hostel at all.

Had the best mini vacation with a fling here one week. Stayed in a 1 bed suite. It was clean and so cozy. Walk to the beach & boardwalk at anytime. Safe location. Get completely drunk and walk to your room. Cant beat the complimentary bikes, chairs, surf boards, etc. there’s a kitchen and a washer and dryer. i loved that outside the rooms there are tables and comfy launch chairs to chill at all night. There is minimum parking but I was able to park mine & his for $ 10 for our whole stay. very chill getaway :)
Find great discounts online.
P. S. This is not a quiet kid friendly place.

I stayed here 3 nights while working near Fort Lauderdale. Due to the nature of my work I can never make reservations and thus wound up in 3 different rooms over the course of 3 days; once in a 4 bed dorm, and twice in a single.
Overall: great experience. Great value, good location, helpful staff, and surprisingly clean.
Staff: 8. Very accommodating. Worked with my needs for late check in and early check out. One of them even gave me his parking spot!
Location: 8. Nice beaches, good food, good bars, all under a 2 minute walk. Relatively safe. Great for tourists, wanderers and a party crowd, but probably not ideal for young children.
Mattress: 5. Very average. May not do for somebody with a bad back but I slept like a baby.
Cleanliness: 8. Clean sheets, clean bathrooms and shower, fresh towels, no bugs, and no yucky smells. What more can you ask for at that price?
Amenities: 8. Fridge, microwave, satellite tv, free wifi, free bike rentals and other toys, full kitchen. Everything you need for an extended stay and some fun on the beach.
I didn’t think to write a review till the end of my stay so the pics are after I made a mess of the room, but you can see how well kept they are despite my clutter.
Only negative I had was finding a parking a spot. The place was packed every night. I ended up just forking over the extra 10 bucks for a parking pass the last night.
I’ll definitely stay there again if I’m in the area.

I stayed here over the weekend after the big Hollywood Beach Unilocal pub crawl. I don’t drink drive, nor did I fancy spending $ 200 for a place to crash for the night.
So I got a bunk bed here for $ 20. Can’t beat that for a place to crash for a few hours. I rolled in the place in the middle of the night drunk off my face, climbed into my bunk and slept like a baby.
Unlike most American hostels, this one was more to a European standard. Clean, tidy and very safe!
Despite my appearance in the morning. I was groggy, contacts stuck to my eyeballs, dressed in nightlife gear from the night before, and fake tattoos on my neck and chest. Looking very rough, but everyone was polite and friendly. I will certainly stay here again when i’m drinking in the area!
