Banana Bungalow is a bright spot on the South Beach budget scene. Across the street is a popular beach; the best shots, clubs, and restaurants redone in 1950's two-story new-comer surrounds a pool and deck complete with shuffle board, a small alfresco cafe serving cheap meals, and a tiki bar. This is one of the only hotels in this price range with a private pool. Guests can also take advantage of free coffee and refreshments each morning, a communal kitchen, access to a nearby health club, a coin laundry, free movies, sight-seeing tours, discount at local clubs and a great community spirit. - FROMMERS FLORIDA The newest concept of budget travel has hit South Beach in the form of Banana Bungalow, a hostel/hotel with the convenience of both. Boasting a large pool, nightly movies in a plush video room, organized land and water tours, and the cheapest tiki bar on the strip, and guests can lounge poolside while playing shuffleboard or gabbing with fellow travelers from arround the globe. - ROUGH GUIDES FLORIDA Our new favorite is the seriosly fun Banana Bungalow, now this is hostelling; a great pool, right on the canal, and more importantly, a great bar and a fun crowd of Americans, Europeans, and Aussies. It's a kitschy 50's building (the office was formerly a gas station). - Lonely Planet Florida
