    Pool was not working, there was no running water for more than a few hours one afternoon, phone did not work, one of the two elevators was not working, some lights in my room did not work, pillows were oddly lumpy. They give you pass for free chair and umbrella at beach with a partnering hotel but that area of beach disgusting with seaweed so you can’t even enter water and seaweed gives beach foul odor.

    El desayuno era bueno pero los 60 dólares extras que me cobraron no valía la pena pagarlos la piscina estaba en remodelación no se podía usar y me tocó una habitación detrás del ascensor y se escuchaba el ruido de este cada ves que alguien subía o bajaba estuve toda la noche despierto por lo demás estuvo bien.

    2.) The Pool was out of service in one of the most busiest parts of the year (Memorial Day 2026) 3.) The staff failed to mention that the room temperature would never lower less than 70 degrees. 4.) Although the staff was very nice, they weren't helpful with basic check-in and what the added costs were.

    Had a really pleasant stay here! I didn’t expect much because it’s relatively lower in price than other South Beach hotels, but I was pleasantly surprised. At checkin they kindly upgraded us to a larger room. It was clean, mostly quiet, and the staff (especially Hugo, Natan and Joel!!!) were so so helpful and kind interacting with them. The hotel has a basic gym, free coffee and water which was excellent. They gave us beach towels and chairs since the pool was under renovation. The location was also excellent. Thank you for treating us very well here. The wifi could be improved/more reliable.

    The location of the hotel was great, the staff was friendly and helpful and the lobby was nice. It was very old and run down. The hallways were dark and smelled of terrible cologne. When my room was cleaned the towels were not replenished. The pool was closed for renovations. Just overall the vibe was sad.

    The front desk people were really nice, our flight got there around 7am and asked if we can check in our bags. They allowed us to change in their bathroom and when we returned they let us know that the manager was able to get us in a room early. As well as for checkout, they let us check in our bags till the afternoon. Overall, good experience very close to the beach and walkable to ocean drive and other convenient stores

    Location is killer. Facilities are adequate, but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a couple nights here. It’s old and creaky, and the fan in my air conditioner. Unit was a little noisier than it needed to be, but it was clean and workable.

  • Shanea May 2026 · via expedia

    If you’re mainly looking for a basic place to sleep, it does the job. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The lobby area is nice, but the rooms definitely don’t match the appearance of the common areas. There is plenty of shopping and food nearby, which was convenient. The lobby bar was okay, but drinks were pricey and they don’t serve food.

    Nothing Terrible place The water was completely out for an entire day. We couldn’t even use the toilet, let alone take a shower. We reported the situation to the lobby, and they told us to come back in the morning because management would compensate us somehow, but they did nothing. On top of that, when we said we would never come back again, their response was basically “you never know.” The staff were awful, the facility was terrible, old, and smelled bad.

    The convenience of the Albion Hotel was perfect for what we needed. Close to the beach and the Lincoln Road shopping strip. The room was comfortable and the staff cleaned it daily; very well. The breakfast was not included with our stay but was very good nonetheless. Our only complaints was that the pool was still under maintenance, but it was mentioned on the website; and we were somewhat surprised by a regular room, when our booking stated that a balcony and sofa would be part of our reservation. We didn’t make an issue of it because all of South Beach was already booked. In fact, we talked to a guest who had checked out and had to come back because he could not find another room. So, all in all, our stay was pleasant. When we go to the beach, we typically go to spend time outside in the sun anyway.

    The pool was under construction. The noise was terrible starting at 8 AM. The pool being under construction, the garden was out too so the only place to sit in was the very tiny lobby with all the travelers and their luggage. The location is good, but I will definitely not recommend this hotel. It needs complete renovations and only one elevator was working.

Overall, the excellent customer service, cleanliness, and location made for a very pleasant stay. I would definitely stay again.

    Sadly unable to get an early check-in but Hugo was reallyvery helpful, we were able to leave our luggage and we ended up with a comp upgrade to a suite which was great. It wasn’t a problem for us that the pool wasn’t available, but it was a bit naughty when booking through hotels.com that we only found out about that after the booking was made. The elevators are a bit gloomy. I wouldn’t want to be in one by myself if travelling as a single woman. The coffee in their café on the second floor was not very nice. We didn’t have time for breakfast on the morning departure sadly .I love Art Deco so very pleased to stay at the hotel. The location is very good as well.

    The location is great and the lobby is very nice, but once you get past that, things go downhill quickly. Despite advertising the pool all over the listing, they do not inform you that the pool is under construction until AFTER you book (I had to look three different times before I could find the notice in the listing, in the fine print). The rooms are so tiny that you WILL bump your leg into the side of the bed at least once during your stay, so look forward to that :) only one elevator works, and it’s so slow you’ll end up taking the stairs. The reat of the hotel feels somewhat run down, so you definitely get what you pay for.

    Like 👍 our review! We had a wonderful overnight stay at Albion South Beach Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida after flying into Fort Lauderdale to depart for our cruise the next day. We chose the place due to its solid reviews, walking distance to Lincoln Road shopping area and beaches, and great value for the price point. Overall, the hotel met our expectations and we really enjoyed the cozy bedroom with four pillows, clean bathroom with a tub, large closet and safe for valuables, reasonable internet speed for emails and searching, beautiful and comfortable lobby, quiet hallways for a good sleep, a small working gym, free morning coffee (after 7AM) on the mezzanine, and most importantly, a kind and personable staff. Please note that we didn't have access to the pool since it's currently being renovated during our stay and it was not a problem to us. Since we were on the third floor, it was very easy to take the stairs instead of the slow elevator. However, we enjoyed the access to a sleek bar downstairs for a late night drink and access to an a ala carte breakfast with a variety of offerings. Lastly, the hotel offered a luggage hold for the day allowing us to explore the area more before departing for the cruise. Given this, we would love to stay here again and would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family.

    The room was the size of an indoor cabin on a cruise ship. Plenty of space for a stay. You are a block from Lincoln Mall, a block from the beach, and a block from the Jackie Gleason music center. Lowe's and the Ritz-Carlton are block away under swimming there is a better location in South Beach that doesn't have music downstairs and noise until 1:00 a.m.. the properties of updated that's really clean Steph could not be more commentating. There's a pool currently under renavation, but the outdoor seating for breakfast more than makes up for it. Remember you are less than a few hundred feet in the beach. There are a few other properties very close The Crest, and the James, but I'm quite sure, of all the local properties this is the pick. For the price you're stay in Miami at the Albion is unbeatable.

    The hotel is located in a great area with easy access to everything. Staff is great and the lobby is cute, however the hotel is not located on the beach as advertised but it is near the beach. I would “not” recommend this hotel. The halls on each floor are dirty. Upon check in and getting to my room, the commode was stopped up and I had to make multiple calls before maintenance came to fix it and the tv in the room did not work. It definitely was not worth $200+ per night.

    Every staff I encountered at the front desk were very friendly! As a solo traveler I felt very safe at this hotel. The lobby was aesthetically pleasing. There were stores and restaurants and most importantly the beach in walking distance, a car would not be needed unless you’re going out of the South Beach area. The pool was closed which would have put the cherry on top, but hopefully it opens soon. I would say the only downfall would be the walls are extremely thin. You will without a doubt hear anyone in the hallway and neighbors next to you, so if you’re a light sleeper it would probably keep you up at night/early in the morning. Also, the petite room is really petite. It was fine since I was alone, I don’t know if 2 people would be comfortable for more than a night’s stay. I would definitely stay here again!

    Unfortunately our room was right next to cleaning service room and they kept slamming the door there from 7am and making a lot of noise in general so we couldn’t sleep after 7am. The doors have big gap underneath so you can hear everything from the hallway. Also the WiFi is blocked to many different sites, apps and to some social media platforms such as TikTok which is very annoying. Even the google play store was blocked. The lobby staff was very kind.

    The hotel staff was very nice. Construction was happening which is understandable but I got upgraded to a room that was right infront of the pool was construction was mainly going on in the morning. The AC in the bedroom was also not cooling. I informed the staff before heading out to business meetings all day and they said they would take care of it. It was not fixed when I got back. The sleep was very uncomfortable because it was hot all night in the room. It was not my best experience.

    This is a great location for access to South Beach and downtown Miami. Our hotel room was on the penthouse floor and had a great view. The bed was super comfortable. Our only problem was with the air conditioning which could not regulate temperature. It was either on polar vortex or off. The room was so cold. We weren’t sure we’d be able to get warm last night, however, once we turned it off, we were able to fall asleep and be comfortable. The hotel staff are very helpful. Parking in a public parking structure within a short walk cost of $20, which was reasonable.
