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.

Great place to stay on the budget in the heart of Miami Beach. It can get a bit noisy but people are respectful for the most part. Breakfast is great.

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.

All that was available was in the "crates". I had mixed feelings but i truly thought it was a good option for single men. The other guests were respectful

The best gay hotel on planet earth!!!!
Whats not to love about an adults only hotel that is catered to gay men? I love the decor, colors of black and red (so sexy and masculine), the quirky gay insiders, and everything about this place!!!!!

Very pleasant surprise
A really unique lodging experience catering to gay men. I stayed in one of the "shared" rooms, which have a common area and bathroom, but otherwise are fairly private. The decor is distinct and filled with sassy and erotic overtones. You'd think the Crates was a chain, with personalized soap dispensers and luggage tags among the cool touches, but it's one-of-a-kind. I loved it and will certainly come back the next time I visit Miami Beach.

I will be back
Thank you Expedia for this awesome deal. Was looking for something last minute to south beach and Expedia once again delivered. I stayed at the gaythering in their crate rooms. It was perfect for me. I had no problem with noise, access to the bathroom etc. Check in was awesome. Russell at the front desk was amazing. The sauna I love, the bar really cool(especially karaoke night), centrally located, nice restaurants in the area(Lincoln road 2 blocks away) and lots of hot boys within walking distance 😈. I will definitely stay at the gaythering again. It’s sooo cool to stay in a gay hotel. Thanks guys
