The rooms were both sizable and clean, making it a perfect place to stay when on a limited budget.

Purchased a stay for my adult son's visit - liked it - he liked it - but he found Ft. Lauderdale a little too nutty 😀 …

I have been coming through Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316 for over 10 years and I always stay at the Chocolate Hostel formerly known as Bridge II - Singles, couples from all of the world stay here. It is clean, comfortable close to the Fort Lauderdale, Florida airport, the Port Everglades cruise ship terminal and the world famous Fort Lauderdale, Florida beach. Families can stay here also! The managers Mia, Dani and the maintenance guy Carl are all great. Jim H. Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316

first time in ft lauderdale and I am glad I stayed at the Chocolate. There was a lot of nice people around, my private room had a nice and comfortable bed and I enjoyed the movie night! Would recommend it to any fellow backpackers. the staff was really friendly, the dorm room was nicely decorated and the other travelers were very friendly and welcoming. the hostel is only 15 minutes away from the Fort Lauderdale airport and there is a bus that takes you to the hostel for cheap.

Was passing through, before leaving the country. Had a great room for a great price last minute. Nice community and friendly people. Friendly staff as well that helped answer all my questions. Also stopped by on my way back into the country during another layover and despite being late and last minute, they were able to satisfy my needs.

I’m giving this place three stars because I just here. So far so good. Management in particular Renatta was very genuine transparent and professional. Answered all my questions. I elected to stay in a dorm style experience to see what that is like. Surprisingly very nice. My room sleeps 5 guys and so far I’ve met one guy who is very respectful nice and clean. The property is in a nice area close to US 1 and houses a very diverse group of people. Overalll my experience is positive and more than likely will add the other two stars in the morning pending that experience lol. But I would recommend this to anyone on a budget or would like a humbling experience.

Kindness, compassion affordability. Managers Carlito and Mercedes and her mom maintain the integrity, cleanliness, happy vibes and opportunities for travelers and locals alike a fun and safe place to reside or travel. This is one of my all time favorite hostels because they respect the privacy of their travelers and tenants. The local long term tenants work together to move furniture to accommodate the local long termers a place to feel at home and allow creativity and opportunity to the locals to find work and upgrade to an apartment once their finances are better. I personally like the bed bunk camp feeling. Easy to make friends. Directly out front is a sign stating the price for apartments which is on par with the area. But affordable for a few nights or a few weeks as well. Everyone who lives here looks out for other tenants and travelers. Beautiful front garden and the pool is a great way to cool off. I truly love this place for their compassion and commitment to make everyone's stay long or short term fun memorable and awesome. First last and Security isn't easy for anyone. This place offers an option where your money us good as long as your paid. It's fun being part if the upgrade and move furniture and pictures. Creativity is not discouraged but encouraged. Locals and people new to Florida can stay here to get a leg up and upgrade from the dorm to an apartment. People who move outcome back to visit their friends The cutest Siamese cat hangs around and is loved by all. Artists, students, black white yellow and green ... Paintings of Jimmy Hendricks and Lifesavers from the SS Minnow gives that homey feel of the sixties and what we all envision a hostel to be. Good bless this place and what they do for locals and travelers.

I think the girl's room is so special. The bathroom is up dated with lovely sink and black and white details including a huge framed mirror. And it is very clean. The living and dining, kitchen are up dated and modern in a slate gray, and red and beautiful dark wood cabinets, shelving, Pop Art and new dining area with new bar stools. The dorm room is also newly painted and up beat in decor and colors. I have always loved this apt but now it truly feels like your own space. Thanks Chocolate for the fresh new look in room 12 :)
