Hotels Near 8th Street Designer District in Miami Beach

Very basic but not bad. The room was very large and just like the pictures but shows some wear around the edges. It was clean but I stayed three nights and they never serviced the room. Some of the staff was very nice and helpful. Hotel offers breakfast served in the President I guess for all three hotels (Penguin, President, President Villa). Having it included was nice but ... the vat of scrambled eggs was always cold. I was there a few minutes after it opened one day and still at best luke warm. Cold toast. Pieces of fruit ... not fruit salad. I did not try but there was a vat of yogurt and cold cereal. Juices and coffee. There's a bar in the President and a porch you can use plus an outdoor siting area. The price was very competitive especially with breakfast included and two bottles of water per day. Would I stay there again? Maybe. If I was in Miami Beach and looking for a hotel I would consider it based on price, etc.

We had a (pink) deluxe king room (275 sq/ft) and it was wonderful! We were not in the main building, but we’re a short walk away in the complex. There was a kind porter to help with luggage. The size was just fine for us, and we had plenty of room to store luggage under the bed or on the side of the room. The shower pressure was fantastic and the in room amenities were a wonderful touch. There is a coffee maker in the room with mini bar/fridge. No microwave. Room service breakfast (for a fee) was delicious, and the house coffee was fruity, chocolatey and delectable. Lighting was on the darker side, but people might be forgetting to turn on an overhead light on the ceiling fan. You can do this on the wall switch top button. The furnishings were modern, classy and opulent in the room and in the hotel. I truly felt like I was in the pages of a magazine, but it did not feel stuffy or pretentious at all. Staff were wonderful and helpful. After reading reviews, we brought ear plugs just in case, and we definitely used them. Noise is an issue (hence 4 stars), but if you are prepared for this, it’s not a shock. The hotel is in a fantastic, lively area with great restaurants and shopping, but it can get loud at night on the weekends. Prepare for this, and it won’t be an issue. You are charged for extras you may not use, but we greatly enjoyed the stay even when not taking advantage of the extras. We will definitely be back!

Recommended by the virgin rep, so booked for an overnight trip. Car park was extra and really tight spaces for the huge hire car we had been given. Our room was next door, we had to walk through a full restaurant and up in the lift. The smoke alarm was going off as we checked it, piercing noise outside our room whilst it was being fixed. The room- basic with storage and noisy aircon with the blinds down. Opened the blind to a Bush and the wall of next door- defo no sea view in this one. Shower was cold so we all had to have cold showers and toilet was dodgy flushing. Walked outside, air con was leaking all over the corridor floor so reported at reception. They cleared it quickly. We stayed one night and loved miami as a place, location of the hotel was fab, came back early as wasn't sure what would happen when the restaurant closed. As others have said, when i booked it said free breakfast and when i asked they said there was no breakfast unless we paid in the restaurant. Would I stay again, probably not.

When I say I absolutely loved this place, I loved it this was my first stay all the way from New Jersey for a 5 day stay, I know even know where to start I was checked in by the security that helps around she was so prefect anytime we needed anything she would help or guide us in the right direction. I was so sad I didn’t get to see her my last two nights I wanted to tip her so bad n give her the most appreciative hug☺️But not to mention they have a restaurant downstairs in boy it’s this one person I will never forget unfortunately I didn’t get his name bc we started a conversation about a iguana, yea a laugh lol, an from there all I did is call him my friend 😂 but from the moment to the end he kept me laughing so hard I already miss having lunch there so we can laugh. But I’m gone end here wit when I come back I hope to see the same two people I absolutely wanna thank everyone for making us feel like we where home 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Will definitely be returning to The Ritz Carlton, South Beach. Upon entering the hotel everything seemed super clean and I was greeted with a glass of champagne. I had a fabulous experience at the beach. A few names of the Excellent staff that made the day perfection: Murex, Jacque, Nerlens, Jefferey, and Daril. My group and I were helped to find a great spot on the beach, the food and drinks were amazing. This group of staff checked on my friends and I to make sure all was well. Will hopefully be coming back soon!

All good, I spent two nights. It is very well located, the staff is correct. I had no problems! I was just passing through

Our service at the beach was wonderful! Alejandra was an excellent server. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. They have great lounge chairs and umbrellas. You can rent larger lounge chairs and cabanas for the day, too. It was easy to access the beach directly from the Fontainebleau property.

Our room faced the hotel yard so it was quiet. The hotel is basic and dated but it offers great value for the price. Other hotels around are 2-3 times more expensive. The bed comfort could be better. Multiple eateries in walking distance. There is also a free trolley that takes you to South Beach. It takes 15-20 min depending on traffic. We would stay here again.

Like the apartment, there is a kitchen, utensils and a dining table. Thanks to the double bed and the sofa, I used it for 3 people each I just asked for a futon, but you didn't give me late. Approx. 4 minutes to Middle Beach

I really enjoyed my stay at the Grand Beach Hotel Bay Harbor. Front desk to housekeeping - very warm and welcoming- and breakfast was great! Rosie and Yemie was so very helpful -as well as the other young ladies and gentlemen I had a great room, great views, very spacious and bright. Great location too! I love the fact I can walk everywhere and get what I need. I was sad to leave. I cannot wait to book my next vacation! Very soon! Thanks for the great hospitality! Tiffany~~
