Frommer's "This venerable Deco hotel has gone through an identity crisis over the past few years, but we think it may be over." Full review
Insight Guides "Understated stylishness is the hallmark of this trendy Art Deco hotel. Bedrooms - mostly suites - and their wall-to-wall marble bathrooms come in muted creams and beiges."
Travel + Leisure "This Art Deco hotel in South Beach is just two blocks from the famed Ocean Drive and the beach." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Chic, comfortable Asto offers small, yet soothing, rooms with Frette linens, mood lighting, and snug mattresses."
Time Out "The intimate lobby is softly illuminated and decorated in sandy hues, while the elegant bedrooms boast European king-size beds, imported cotton sheets and fleecy robes in the marble bathrooms." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is one the neighborhood's showplaces for travelers in search of understated South Beach elegance." Full review
Gayot "Built in 1936, this 40-room hotel was completely refurbished in 2002. It has retained many of its original Art Deco elements such as terrazzo floors and aluminum fixtures."
BlackBook "Deco standout that's chic and cozy at the same time. The lighting is very flattering as are the rooms with Frette linens and towels that are hard not to throw in your knock-off Birkin bag."

Jetsetter "A hip Miami Beach hostel with designer interiors and plenty of buzz from prestigious travel publications." Full review
The Telegraph8.0

Mr & Mrs Smith "Freehand Miami is a hip hostel-esque stay for sociable millennials." Full review

There’s also a guest kitchen, which is open from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. Just make sure you remembered to bring your own food and don’t try to steal someone else’s.
Time Out "Small, intimate and quirky, the Freehand has more character than many of its South Beach competitors." Full review

It is technically a hostel, so you can choose from shared rooms for four or eight or private rooms for two.
