    Walls to rooms are extremely thin and don’t block out much noise from the neighbouring rooms

    Excellent location, just over the road from the beach. Guy at check-in was extremely helpful. Breakfast was ok as included in the price.

    The Wifi was really bad, and our room did not have telephone reception. The Elevator is definitely from the 80s, barely worked. The housekeeping was bad at returning our calls.

    Location was great! Right at the start of Ocean Drive, away from the hustle, and facing the Beach, the view from the room was great, and the interiors are nice. Room size is also decent. The reception staff were quite helpful, with usggestions and beach towels.

    Our room was on the first floor right up the stairs past the Lobby, which could get noisy at night. Bathroom door wouldn’t always shut all the way. Room was small.

    Excellent location and very nice hotel. Our beds and pillows were comfortable. The staff were friendly.

    There was nothing that I didn’t like about the property other than there not being a pool which I knew before booking. Other than that, there was an incident one night where the A/C was putting out a strange odor that smelled like fire. It was rectified pretty quickly.

    The location is PERFECT!

    Lovely short stay

    • Classic King Room

    The room was very small, which is fine for 1-2 night stay but could be cramped for longer periods. The bathroom didn't have anywhere to place toiletries which could be an issue for longer stays, but room was pleasant room for a short stay.

    The location was fabulous, the atmosphere of South beach was lively, exciting and definitely a people watching experience. We loved the walk along south beach on a Saturday night, so much to see. The room was clean and ideal for a 1-2 night stay, especially the art deco feel which was so nice to experience.

    Fix the elevator: people with limited mobility would enjoy it. I'm sensitive because I had a broken foot in the past. Otherwise I don't mind the stairs

    Great location, great value for money, clean, tasty breakfast, very nice staff, WiFi works.

    It was a kind of disappointment that they did not offer breakfast. On reviews, many people say the hotel offers, but once there, they didn't.. needing to pay extra for that.

    It's a very beautiful hotel. And more with a European vibe. The room was nice and comfortable, and the staff was nice, especially Juan. And the location can't be better.. right front of the beach, on Ocean Drive. Simply great.
