DK Eyewitness "A mere three-minute walk to the beach and to Old Key West, this hostel is usually full of young backpackers."
Rough Guide "The cheapest digs in town are these grubby dorms, run by a friendly owner who provides bikes for rent."
Time Out "Cheap dorm rooms down near the Southernmost Point, a five-minute walk from central Old Town." Full review
Frommer's "This well-run hostel is a 3-minute walk to the beach and Old Town. Very busy with European backpackers, it's a great place to meet people." Full review
