Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Wood that’s blonder than Barbie and a crisp-and-clean deco theme combine to create one of SoFi’s most elegant yet stunningly modern sleeps." Full review

"This clean, modern, extremely low-key, 24-room hotel is on a quiet residential street just south of the South Beach action." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In a trendy area, Hotel St. Augustine is part hotel, part spa, and wholly a refuge from other boutique hotels which mask themselves as lounges."
Gayot "Located near the Third Street Beach, this 1937 Art Deco hotel offers 24 elegantly furnished guest rooms."
BlackBook "Located in SoFi (South of Fifth), this in-the-thick-of-it-all boutique hotel feels blessedly out of the way. Well, out of the traffic and snarl of rookies anyway."
Zagat "Spa-like amenities fill each of the 24 guestrooms in this boutique hotel -- multijet showers that convert into steam cabins (with speakers), aromatherapy oils and skin treatments."

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.
