Hotel Ocean

The room was completely refurbished, with a spacious bathroom and comfy bed. The staff was very friendly in the check in and check out, and stored our luggage while we were out after check out. The location is perfect, next to good places to eat, and right in front of the beach. We liked the experience a lot and would totally stay there again

One of the main reasons for choosing this hotel, was for its proximity to the beach and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Straight across the street, less than 100 yards to step into the ocean. Another feature we liked was that the hotel provided towels and chairs to take from the hotel to the beach. This came in very handy one afternoon when the people hiring out the sun beds on the beach wanted to charge us a full days rental $63.00, for only 3 hours, for 2 x sun beds and 1 x sun shade. We ended up getting the chairs (for free) from the hotel and bought a sun shade in a shop on Collins Avenue for $39.99, which we were able use on subsequent days. We also took advantage of the free cycles from the hotel as well. Using them to ride from 12th Street on South Beach on up to 96th Street on North Beach, along the excellent cycle path. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. We liked the fact that they were not in our face and offered help or suggestions when we asked for it. We like to be left alone when on vacation, so asked for our room not to be made up. This request was respected, as well as another we had for some extra coffee pods, so that we could make some in our room. I’d also like to point out that every review I had read of all hotels in the South Beach area said that car parking was a problem and that it would cost about $44.00 per day. With a rental collected from Miami International Airport, I was not looking forward to paying this much each day. I mentioned this to the front desk staff upon arrival and was politely directed to a car park on 13th Street and Collins, less than 50 yards from the hotel which only charged $20.00 per 24hr period. The only disappointment with this came when we ventured out on a Friday evening and found the car park full when returning at 21:00. We had to park in an alternative car park on Collins Avenue, which charged $25.00 per 5hr period. I'd also like to add that the in room WI-FI was excellent.

The only thing that we weren’t to keen on was the late night music, from the front of the hotel. We could hear this clearly from our room every night.

Such a good location, free bikes to use. Great rooms, really big for South Beach. They are tiled, which is so much better than some nasty carpet. Our room had a good sized closet, with iron, hairdryer, small fridge, and a huge bathroom (tub AND shower). Very comfy bed, and a thermostat you could adjust yourself, if need be. Staff was very helpful and accomodating - great service! All staff was really great, they deserve much kudos for their service, housekeeping too. If you're arriving by car with a lot of luggage, like us, drive up the alley behind the hotel, and go through the back and get the luggage trolley. Can also recommend relaxing by the pool at Hotel Victor (one of the hotels you can use the pool at), since it has a nice view of the beach. Small, but very nice. Can absolutely recommend this hotel!

Hotel doesn't have a pool, which isn't necessarily bad, but good to be aware of. You can use the pook at two other hotels, but they are one and three blocks away, respectively. If you're a light sleeper, you might have an issue with noise, as you can hear South Beach/Ocean drive well, especially the restaurant downstairs and the loud music from there. Breakfast isn't really breakfast (apples, and pastries we never saw), but the coffee/tea is free. Tiles could use a new round of grout/silicone, looks a bit worn when you look closer.

The staff are the hotel's best feature. Very friendly and helpful. the rooms are quite large and clean and has everything you need. the hotel is right on the busy Ocean Drive strip, which is convenient for going out (yes could be noisey)

The music from the restaurant below is quite loud and stays until 1 am on week days, and later on weekends. There is absolutely no way to contact the facility by phone. I forgot some items in my room and needed to call the hotel to figure out how to get it back, and none of the numbers listed anywhere online, including on booking.com and the hotel's website actually links to the hotel itself, which is quite frustrating.

- very friendly staff (especially Bino at reception!) - the room was beautiful + spacious - snack bar + free beach towels and chairs were available. - short walking distance to the beach.

- very loud music playing until 1 am and starting early in the morning from the restaurant downstairs. - same restaurant was responsible for breakfast: it was highly unsatisfying. We got to choose either one cup of coffee or juice and one small dish. We expected better for the money we paid. (And don’t order the waffles. They are pure sugar. The „fruit salat“ consists of one cut up strawberry and five tiny blueberries)

Great central location but not in the mid of the circus like little more south. Beautiful renovated rooms, great king bed and bathroom. Coffee, tea in the room but also all day downstairs with some pastry and apples. Beach towels and chairs. All people working were nice

We liked our stay but just to consider when choosing and maybe our room was cheaper but it required earplugs as ventilation turbines beneath the window were making constant around 51 dcb in the room . Not all rooms are like that. Depends if it bithers you Had some issues with toillet but managed to resolve by ourselves till the last day.

The location was perfect and the room had been completely renovated and was very modern. They also cleaned it every day - the first time that’s happened for me since the pandemic started. Beach chairs, towels and bikes were all free to use. And breakfast was included.

The only problem I had was that my door key kept not working and I had to go down to the front desk 3 separate times to have the key reset

The location was great! Our room had an ocean view & anything & everything was right where our hotel was - the restaurants, bars, the beach, etc! It was perfect.

The location of the hotel is very good, internet wifi is fast, the breakfast is good.

I did not like it when they put me on the second floor so I paid for the Oceanview room but unfortunately, I did not see the ocean.

everything was top class, loved everything about the hotel, especially its location on the bolovard , BE AWARE YOU ARE ON THE BOARDWALK AND MUSIC IS WELL INTO THE NIGHT, 1AM OR 2AM , WE ARE 70 YEAR OLD OAPs and in bed by midnightm be it is wat it is, so DONT TAKE CHILDREN IT IS LOUD, WE LOVED IT, 2 NIGHTS was enough for the visit the hotel reception is on the front, but you can park to unload, book in, go to your room , but then you need to put your car in a large municipal car park just around the corner, 5 min walk, no problems, security and $20 1 day,

we loved it all, night life and all the art deco hotels lit up with neon lights, music, entertainment, big bus ride, waterfront locations, so much to do,
