I was pleasantly surprised staying in the crates. I have never stayed in a hostel but knew those participar rooms would be a similar experience as staying in one. I think I read on their page they described it as the “anti hostel.” The staff was nice and the simple breakfast included was a nice bonus. It is a popular bar at night so there will be some noise if you go to bed early but the crate rooms I stayed in wasn’t over the bar and they clear out the courtyard after a certain time so it’s not too late when the noise shuts down. Plus they do provide earplugs since the crates are in a shared space with other guests.

It was friendly, clean and gay! The crates were awesome. It’s such a great idea. I like the tv were muted and you had to use head phones to get sound from tv.

The crates are really clean, the beds are comfortable, the hotel/bar/sauna is nice. Of course, it is not intimate with the plywood walls not going going fully up to the ceilings, but I wasn't expecting it to be... I just needed an affordable place to sleep and that was perfect. The room was actually even a bit bigger than what I expected.

Sentralt plassert gay hotell. Selvstendig parkering 19 $ pr døgn. Grei frokost, men savner endel. Bra renhold og spa.

Pas mal pour le prix.

Que cela soit clair, c'est un hôtel pour gays. Vous êtes dans une salle de 5 casiers. Chaque casier est spartiate. Il y a 2 douches communes et 1 WC commun pour 5 casiers. Faut accepter de se montrer à poil pour la douche. Point noir : le petit déjeuner est de 9h à 11h mais tous les restos ouvrent à 9h pour le breakfast aussi. C'est comme ça à Miami. Vous êtes au bout du Lincoln Road Mail mais loin de l'Ocean Drive et de la plage.
