The Colony Hotel

The staff was nice, but this place is old and outdated. It does have some unique Scarface movie decor. The rooms are pretty tiny, and the mattresses were some of the WORST I've ever slept on, and that is the reason for 2 stars. Cruddy cheap mattresses are inexcusable at a hotel especially on the beach strip. Both beds had caved in cheap mattresses. Beach access is easy and across the street after passing through the beach volleyball courts. The Miami beach strip area adds 20% service fees to everything even just to stop and get a coffee to go...just FYI. Walking the strip at night reminds me of small beach Vegas theme without casinos but lots of lights and restaurants/bars. You'll see some interesting people. No issue with safety when we were there.

This was an amazing experience,, an iconic hotel with a splendid staff of expert hoteliers.. enjoy this gem ,, 💎

The location is great!! The Value is great. Alex at check on was very nice. The room was nice and comfortable.

Price and location Everything was fine

The location was great. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The rooms were really small. Not enough outlets to charge electronics. The bathroom didn't have any shelf space. It also had a weird smell.

location, the beach was across the street, and it was located on the main strip What I didn't like about the hotel, there was no microwave in the room or on the property. Plus, no drink machine or continental break.

Muy buena la atención y la amabilidad del personal en este hotel resaltando la carpeta y excelente la atención del dependiente que nos atendió en el desayuno así como el resto del personal

Absolutely the best location in Miami Beach! Three blocks from the MIA 150 bus stop, on the beach! And next door to a CVS grocery store. Walking distance to anything one could want to see or do. Perhaps not for princesses, as the building is 91 years old, and their handyman is no Michaelangelo. I plan to stay here again, DV. The only downside is that the lobby and sidewalk are rented to a restaurant, so there is nowhere to sit and enjoy watching the world go by. The desk supplies beach towels and beach chairs, so I solved this problem by putting one of their beach chairs on the sidewalk on the beach side of Ocean Drive! Public showers, clean beaches and law and order make this a paradise where teens can be cut loose to explore 1970s-style freedom. Great visit. Thank You! 😊

Clean, affordable room and an easy walk to the beach.

The staff was truly amazing, they made us feel right at home. Wasn't the most modern hotel, had that old Miami feel to it "I kind of liked it". Room is a descent size, it was myself and my adult daughter so was a great fit for us, 4 people can fit might be a bit tight though. They provided us with beach towels for free. location is awesome right across the street from the beach. We truly had A wonderful stay. Nothing really.

Excellent. No clean linens were left daily nor room cleaned by housekeeping

A very old otel and air conditioned is very bad .It work too noisy

Also note, the ride share drivers won't pick you up in front of the hotel. You have to walk around the corner. It isn't far, but if it is rainy, it is an inconvenience. Not that big of a deal, but I wish I had known. Overall, this is the place you book for the active nightlife and beautiful beach. The room is really for the bare minimum folks who just need a quick place to lay their head while enjoying the beautiful city and historic area.

The location is great if you want to walk the beach or site see. The view was great if you like to people watch.

The hotel being right opposite south beach is a great advantage to anyone who loves the beach and the hotel itself is one of the greatest attractions the area

Comfortable place in the city, friendly staff! A bit outdated, wc room needs renovation

Me encantó la ubicación, hay un cvs en un lado así que todo está a la mano, afuera está todo el ambiente pero entras al hotel y está tranquilo

Location great! Breakfast was good too!! Bathrooms are small

Toilet had pubic hair on it and hair was left on floor in bathroom and shower I work in a salon so I understand how hard it is to remove all hair so this is not a complaint love the property Na

The location was amazing. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. They let us check in early, which was very nice. I like that there is a 20% discount at the restaurant for guests. The view from our first-floor room left a little to be desired, unless your dream vacation includes staring at restaurant storage and miscellaneous “mystery items” next door. We couldn’t really keep the curtains open for natural light because it felt like the neighboring hotel staff had front-row seats into our room. I did love that the hotel offered beach equipment for guests to use, but unfortunately, the items we grabbed had seen better days. The umbrella wouldn’t stay open, and the chairs were practically giving up mid-sit, so our beach trip ended a lot sooner than planned. The hotel overall is definitely older and a bit worn in places, though I will say our room itself had been nicely updated and was comfortable.

The staff is great, valet takes upwards 30-40 minutes. Multiple issues with door card reader. Great location for beach

Helpful staff No view from the room

This hotel makes your stay feels like a classic. Having all the Tony Montana's Scarface ambiance (the car, the prop), and the location, the street with the hotel's lights at night, makes you feel like you're inside GTA Vice City. The hotel location is walking distance to the beach, and they give you beach towels or lend accessories if you need. Fernando was super helpful and charismatic during our check in and check out. The hotel itself feels like is old but has been refurbished. This is no problem but you can spot some old installations because of this (ex: the scissor door elevator which is old school). It is not the hotel's fault, but when you arrive you need to make your way through crowds of people from the beach, and walk past the outdoor tables with your luggage to get into the hotel, but we knew what we signed up for, no problem at all.

Hello everyone, I stayed at this hotel for four days. The person I met on the first day was very nice, but everything changed when I went to room 311. There was no power outlet near my bed, and on the last day of my stay, I saw three very large insects in my room. If it had been earlier, I definitely wouldn't have stayed another day at this hotel. When I reported this to the reception, they only said they could change my room. Definitely don't stay here because huge insects might appear in your face while you're sleeping.room 311

The beautiful colors in the entire building and staff members. I slept amazing after a good dinner outfront. Lasagna with chicken. N/A

Fernando has great customer service always greets us coming and going parking was smooth definitely will stay again

Perfect location. If you get there early they will hold your luggage and supply a beach towel. Is a small hotel, yes is old but that’s the charm. My room was clean and comfortable, can’t complain

They offered to hold my bag before check in. That was a huge help!

This is such a nostalgic place to stay and the location is PERFECT! You can’t expect luxury grand size rooms, like many are accustomed to with hotels. After all this hotel is 91 years old. But, it has a great vibe, was clean, has a wonderful restaurant and bar, staff was very nice and helpful, it’s across from beautiful South Beach, and so much to see and do in walking distance! We will definitely come back!

A great place to stay in the center of the historic Art Deco South Beach area of Miami. I think this must be the most photographed hotel along the front at night. It looks beautiful all lit up ! Now, this is an old building and you have to accept that the rooms are going to be a little on the small side, the plumbing might not be the best and the elevator door needs super human strength to open. BUT, that's all part of its charm ! If coming by car we found it easiest to just dip into reception and they'll arrange valet, it costs, but makes life so much easier ! We loved this hotel ! Nothing.

Very good location, right in the center, there is a CVS next to it The sheets were seperated from the banket which was a bit uncomfortable because the sheet kept falling

Location This is one of the worst hotels I’ve ever been to. What they try to pass as old time charm is actually cheap renovation. Nothing is acceptable in this hotel starting from the arrival with no parking available to load and unload the car except with the threat of being fined for staying too long in front. Add to this that the entrance of the hotel is a restaurant it makes it all confusing and embarrassing to enter with your luggage. To continue our journey we had issues with the room lock and couldn’t enter our rooms. There is no noise isolation whatsoever, and you will pass the night hearing disrespectful neighbours coming at 5 am shouting. Let’s not forget one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept on and the non-existent cleaning service who didn’t clean up our room during our stay. I don’t know if it’s the worst hotel in Miami, but it was definitely the worst of our trip.

Miami Beach is great! The Colony Hotel is okay The rooms are very small and need updating

Miami Beach is great! The Colony Hotel is okay The rooms are very small and need updating

Everything it’s the colony Tony Montana lol A little old but just cute

Rooms should be updated at this point. Not just paint. TV was too large and cable did not work well at all.

The breakfast was bland

Location just across from the beach. The loud club music from the restaurant until after midnight then starting again at 8 am. Even not being directly above the bar/restaurant any room in front of the hotel you can hear it. But also, every hotel was the same on Ocean Dr. so if you want somewhere quieter, best not to stay at any hotel on Ocean Dr.

Excelente , personal muy amable. Seguro volvere

Great location!

This older hotel has much charm. Close to beach. The food was excellent, big portions (I recommend sharing). A bit pricey. Staff friendly/helpful. William was exceptional.

It was perfect, staff was very friendly and went above and beyond in helping and acknowledging all of our needs they were super. Food was terrific we ate most of our meals right there on site it was wonderful beautiful stay

It was good experiences

Location Very accommodating front desk, staff and bartender

I loved the location but the room was a bit small. It was clean and the staff was great It was a bit pricey for just overnight need some discounts

Small hotel- friendly staff- perfectly located

N/A

The WiFi was definitely not good enough, the tv in the room 301 is huge so it’s a bummer not to be able to watch streaming services. Or even to cast from my phone. It was very disappointing because at this price, the room should have had no problem. Also the bathroom is a little small, but it’s okay.

Yes

Good, clean, one nighter at the airport. Perfect

Over priced

I also booked a beach view according to Expedia and didn’t get that, not that it would have mattered, all things considered.

Staff lovely, noisy room with basic amenities. Done the job

Location was prime for sure. The only downfall for me was that the bed was a tad to high but that’s cause I’m short also goes for the shower head that I was not able to adjust due to it being on top of shower. Also they could use a mirror in the bedroom to make it easier when someone is in the bathroom another person can be getting ready in bedroom. The bathroom does not have much room for you to place toiletries on. Not very many plug ins so if you have one with multiple like we did then you will be ok. Really that’s all.

Amazing location with delicious food and atmosphere. Everyone was extremely friendly. The room was very clean and it had a ceiling fan!!! Like other reviews stated, it's a little outdated but to me it gives it charm. Overall it was a lovely place to stay. The bed was a bit too soft for me but I prefer a firm mattress. There was only one outlet in the room and the outlet in the bathroom was by the door. These are minor things, not deal breakers. I'll be returning for sure.

Lovely visit in the heart of all. Walkable, $20 parking garage nearby. Very south beach vibe.

Next to the beach. Clean room. Very friendly staff. Restaurant is great onsite!

All good

Location Price of a glass of wine and cost of 2 bourbons on ice $68. That cost is outrageous.

The location To small and elevators is old and hard to work

Everything

The room needed to be cleaned the bathroom floor and table tops were dirty with dust food and hair. The staff at the front desk were so helpful and accommodating they helped us the entire time. They were very hospitable Fernando and Isreal helped us with late check out. The food at the restaurant out front was also delicious. All in all it was a good experience. There is a CVS next door with cleaning supplies also. Lol

Amazing hotel great location and with lots of history

The hotel was in a great spot on Ocean Drive. The elevator was a little outdated and scary, but that is me. It might be vintage to someone else and they are okay with it. Otherwise the staff was very friendly, I have no complaints. This might be my go to spot when I come to Miami.

Great location. Super friendly helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay.

Close to beach

Ocean front rooms are noisy.

Room was small, noisy and the sink water pressure was non existent.

Great location Nothing

Clean room, good location,

Very nice

Our room was better decent and Fernando who helped us checked in he was very kind, helpful and professional thank you very much Fernando

The restaurant in the hotel. Mediocre food. Bad service.

This boutique hotel is at a great location on Ocean Drive, walkable to beach, restaurants, stores and parking garage. The room was clean, staff was friendly and very helpful. No beach views from the room. Two bars in the hotel. The reviews did mention Valet parking however, valet was not available due to the busy weekend but we were able to load and unload in front of the hotel and parking structure was a short walk away for $50 a night.

Then we got hungry. Montana’s is extremely overpriced, and even with the 20% discount, it wasn’t worth it, so we skipped it. When we returned from the beach, everything went downhill. The hotel had lost power, so key cards couldn’t be activated. We were told some guests were moved to a neighboring property, but because we needed double beds and only kings were available, we weren’t given that option. Instead, staff had to physically drill into rooms to let guests in every time. Yes, there was security, but traveling with kids, that didn’t feel safe or comfortable. We were told we’d receive a discount, which turned out to be a joke—$45 off the resort fee. For nearly $400 a night, that’s unacceptable. The aesthetics were also disappointing. The property is outdated with cheap cosmetic fixes. I always clean before settling in and found hair throughout the bathroom and room. The rooms are tiny, and the bathroom door looked previously damaged, poorly patched with vinyl only on one side. Never again. I don’t care about the history—this stay felt like a complete rip-off. Highly disappointed.

There were no keys available for room for two nights it was major inconvenience and seemed very unsafe.

The beds are terrible. The one bed in our room sagged so much you instantly fell to the middle. The other bed was rock hard and so were the pillows.

Small room

Location, near the beach and lots of great restaurants in walking distance. And CVS. AC was terrible. Was promised compensation, but none came. Hallway was noisy. Room was so small. Nowhere to sit other than bed. No place to put anything. Rooms are worn out.

Property has problems woth locks i got walked to. Different propert whole some guest had to deal with holes in there doors to get get let in due to malfunctioning locks

The Colony Hotel is in the perfect location for enjoying Ocean Drive. We paid for a corner room with a view of the water and the view was worth it! The window was very large and opened, which let in the cool breeze. The shower also had hot water and it was plentiful. The TV was huge. When the weather was very cloudy, the TV and WiFi did not work. Also the corner room is on the stairwell, so it could be noisy at night.

The Colony is an excellent place to stay while in South Beach. I will stay there again. The room was rather sparse, but the basics are there. Two beds, a safe, air conditioning, bath with a shower are all the amenities that are needed. If it’s all about location, location, location, then the Colony is the place for you.

Nice experience

The location is central to activities in the area. The restaurant and service was good. Staff was friendly. The hotel needs updating. The bathroom tile is horrid. You are paying for location only. The rooms are below basic not worth the rate charged. The hotel experienced a power outage 3 days prior to our arrival. We were not issued room keys and needed security to enter the rooms each time. I felt very unsafe, staff did not ask for identification to open rooms. My daughter’s room had two cockroaches and this is unacceptable. Never again for this property.

The receptionist, Stephan, was unprofessional and unhelpful. She did not provide solutions or clear explanations, and most concerning, she shared private information such as my name and room location in front of other guests, which felt inappropriate and uncomfortable. The valet parking service is also poorly managed. Even after paying for it, during rain you may be asked to take your own car two blocks away. When requesting your vehicle, expect a wait time of around 45 minutes. The explanations provided were not accurate, as the vehicle’s tracking system clearly showed otherwise. Overall, the service did not meet basic hospitality standards. There are better hotel options nearby with more reliable parking and customer service.

Horrible experience. Doors had holes made because the locking system was down. They used screw drivers to get us inside. No accommodation or anything for this. Apparently been down for a week. You would think they would fix it. Smh

Everything was clean and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our short stay.

Fun place to stay with history and architecture. Limited electrical plugs and no usb. Access to beach, stores and good food in this art deco district.

Plus side - the staff is fantastic. Towels, chairs, and various other beach accessories available to use. Super central location, direct beach access, lots around. Really right in the thick of Ocean Dr. if you want a quieter stay, I would suggest going a couple blocks west to Collins or Washington; or head south of 5th. If you want to be in on it all and don’t mind a bit of noise into the night, this historic stay is a solid choice.

Definitely worth a visit

This is not a bad stay on Miami Beach. A little pricy for the age of the hotel but worked for an overnight stay.

Bad amenities.. we were very disappointed. We’ll never go back to this hotel.

Great

Very minimal options, rooms are small, can only reach front desk by walking down to them, couldn't store our bags ran out of room, room wasnt ready, bar and restaurant food and service is great though!!

Loved this place! The historical features and modern appeal were very charming.

Good location and friendly staff. The rooms are small but cozy. However, the bathroom walls were quite dirty and should be cleaned better. Israel at the front desk was very attentive and helpful.

The facility is too old.

No ocean view my room looked into another room. The overall building is not very well maintained or clean and there’s no pool.

Great location and the staff was cool

William was great helped us with our motorcycles great front desk staff

The beach is not visible from the Hotel but you are right there.....great place to be. Its old but kept very clean and the staff was extremely nice. We will definitely go back

Our room did not have an ocean view, but it was steps away from the beach and nice restaurants. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Even after checkout, they stored our luggage for us while we went and had lunch. Very friendly staff.

Yes, I got a room with ocean view

Love staying here great customer service room is clean the l

Cute and iconic. Check in gets a little backed up but the staff are great. Right across from the beach parks.

The hotel room was very small and had a strong odor of cat urine. The room was not cleaned well. For the location, the room was perfect, but we would not be staying here. Next time we come back to Miami Beach.

Nice staff, very helpful. Rooms were clean, hotel is in amazing location right in front of the beach.

The staff was so friendly! We felt welcome from the start, Alex at the desk was very personable. Jules, our server for breakfast was also amazingly personable and took great care to make sure our breakfasts were perfect both mornings. The rooms are neat and clean. Overall a great stay! We love staying at the Art Deco hotels on the strip, they are a nice change from the large chains.

Nice hotel, great location, excellent staff

All was good

Would recommend the Colony for anyone visiting the area.

Staff was nice, location great. For the price the room was fine…. I would have preferred to have a room with a balcony or a window that opened. If your on a budget this is great option. The beach access is great!

Rooms were renovated and beautiful

Basic room basic service you get what you pay for. If you want a room with a five star rating then you have to pay for five star . I paid for basic I got just that.

It was ok

Staff was yelling early in the morning, restaurant staff downstairs in the alley was screaming at each other, asked for towels and never got any

Lovely little hotel with excellent service, right across from the beach.

Our stay was very good at this hotel. Rooms were very clean. Staff and service at reception/restaurant was very good! I would recommend this hotel.

Super friendly staff. They were re so accommodating when I asked to check in early. Also if you’re Scarface fan this is the place to stay. Great food and drinks!

Great location room was clean staff was nice

We received early check in. Service was fantastic. The location was prime. We were able to people watch and our king ocean front suite provide amazing sunset without leaving bed. Bed was comfortable. Water was hot. I have absolutely no complaints and look forward to future stays here.

Very nice hotel

Nice location, nice staff..

Bathroom was dirty, bed was uncomfortable, water took forever to get hot.

Service Sucks !!! No Hot Water , No Discounts For Customers eating at the LOCATION!! Staff VERY RUDE !!

Great Staff!!!!! Awesome location. Nothing short of exceptional service.

Ac not working

The hotel is a great choice for a budget stay. The hotel is showing its age but the rooms are very clean and the staff is amazing!! There are "no frills" or "extras" but is you are looking for a good place to sleep at night and explore the city/beach during the day it's an excellent choice.

Staff was great Small room but we just used it to sleep Shower wasn’t greatest I would go back

Israel started the trip off right by helping us out when we were confused about the valet situation due to Ocean Drive being shut down. And the valet was wonderful and very patient with us too. It got only better from there. The decor of the place is just beautiful and very imaginative. I felt like I had walked back into the 1920s. The restaurant is a great place for a date (I was with my daughter but definitely want to bring my fiance with me next time). My only suggestion is to upgrade the old electronic locks. They are terrible. It takes many attempts to get into the room. A similar lock at a Holiday Inn in Fort Lauderdale caused us to be locked out twice waiting a hour for maintenance because they are just not dependable. Other than that, the stay would have been perfect.

Great location but our room was right next to a loading dock for a Cvc next door and was very noisy.

All of the front desk staff were very friendly professional restaurant on site was great hotel room was clean and did not have any odors. Definitely will stay here again.

Smaller rooms but I traveled solo so for me the room was perfect. It was clean, it had a safe, iron with table, blow dryer, closet space, and a mini fridge. It met all my needs. Even with it being on Ocean drive I wasnt kept up at night when i wanted to sleep. Overall great stay. Would return for sure.

William and Fernando were the gentleman that helped me during my stay and they were phenomenal. Special mention to William, we wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunrise when we got back from the clubs at 6am and he gave us folding chairs and towels. He was so cool, so sweet, and such a nice energy to interact with. The hotel room itself was very simple, exactly what we needed (a place to sleep).. it was clean and aesthetic, a little small, but if that doesn’t bother you then i say it was PERFECT! i will be staying here again and again because the pricing, hospitality, and location are unbeatable, especially with Montanas in the lobby. I missed having brunch at Montanas, so I am hoping to come back very, very soon!

For the price, the property was not bad plus, the location was definitely a plus alongside a little bit of history of Scarface being filmed there as well

Location was great. Room was clean and staff was helpful. The room was a bit bare bones though. No dresser, desk or chair. Just two double beds and a nightstand with a fridge underneath it. So no place other than the floor to open suitcases to live out of them.

Ideal location for Scopes art event.

The location is great, but the room size is really small and for the price it is quite pricey! We are a family of four and got a two twin bedroom. The space was extremely tight, with no place to even open your suitcase and leave on the floor. No desk or table or even a chair! The bathroom was small with a sink that did not even have a ledge. Where does one keep their toiletries? Not even a medicine cabinet or a shelf to keep your tooth brush and paste! The staff were nice and everything else worked out. I would recommend that management at least put a shelf in the bathroom. I don't think they can do anything about the room size!

The location is obviously unbeatable, but the hotel itself is in terrible shape. The rooms are very small, the bathrooms even smaller and nothing has been renovated in a long time. Even the beds were bad, so much so that we barely slept. This was our first time in South Beach; we'll definitely go back but we won't stay at that hotel again.

Check in easy and quick.

It was a shame to experience this because beside this, the other staff was super friendly especially Israel. He gave us a tour of the place and was very accommodating. The restaurants provided discounts for staying at the hotel. The views, the ambience, the convenience of being next to a 24 hr CVS, and the Scarface theme was wonderful. Again it's a shame we experienced this from one of our waitresses because everything else was amazing.

Room was clean, bathroom needs updating, bar ia clean with good service. Restaurants and hotel staff are not in sync, mixed information on guest dining discount etc Hotel staff is inconsistent some very helpful and friendly others normt so much. Beach is a short walk. Christmas time was very festive and streets closed to vehicles for that week. Most places were alfresco.

Location is the only thing good for this hotel

Staff was very friendly!! The only problem we had was no hot water in the morning when we needed to get ready for our cruise. They did

The history of the hotel! Great location, great staff, would recommend and would stay there again!

That said, parking was a bit of a hassle. We had to park a few blocks away in a garage that cost $20 per day, and walking several blocks with our suitcases wasn’t ideal. The room itself had some mixed aspects. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, which was a big plus. However, the shower temperature was very difficult to regulate—it was either extremely hot or very cold, with no easy balance. We also wanted to watch a movie, but the TV remote only worked to turn the TV on and off; none of the other buttons functioned. Additionally, there were no washcloths provided in the room, which was inconvenient. Overall, the location and comfortable bed were highlights, but a few maintenance and amenity issues took away from the experience.

No complaints.. had a great stay

Very good

Great spot. Sure it may not be the nicest hotel room you'll ever stay in, but what it lacks in space, it makes up for in location and legacy. Very cool. We'll stay again no doubt.

Location Location Location

Great place to stay for a 3star. Very clean, friendly and affordable. The mattresses were too hard for me but besides that, it’s great!

Clean room .. historic hotel

Was a great stay to a horrible Airbnb experience

We also loved looking out over the main street and the ocean and taking in all the activity day and night. Art Basel had a tent set up that blocked part of the ocean view, but we could still see enough that it didn’t spoil things. The windows were pretty dirty, but it was nice that they opened fully, letting in fresh air and the sounds of the street below. The history and character of the hotel really added to the charm. It’s one of those places you instantly recognize from movies, TV shows, and photos of South Beach, and staying there made us feel like we were stepping into that world. We also appreciated how the hotel embraces its connection to Scarface — it adds a fun, nostalgic touch to the experience. At checkout, the front desk staff was genuinely warm and made a point to ask if we had enjoyed our stay. It was a thoughtful touch and a nice way to wrap up our visit. Overall, a memorable stay in a truly iconic Miami Beach spot.

The hotel is very old so there is a smell in the room. We had to purchase febreeze from CVS. Also we had to go the front desk every day to get fresh towels as the housekeeper never put fresh ones in our room.

We asked for new towels multiple times before they were given to us. There was also noise outside our first floor room.

It’s spendy and the rooms are small but it’s such a fun hotel and the area is so fun. The staff is top notch. We would definitely stay again.

The valet parking is not valet. We had to walk blocks with our luggage to drop off and pick up the car yet we paid for valet service.

Right across beach. Good bar selection excellent breakfast.

No it was perfect

Beach was 150 metres away, across a park. But easy to reach. Very loud, at front of hotel. I used my “white noise” phone app to block bar noise from just below my room. Room was compact. Nice rainfall shower. Food was good too. Everything very expensive of course.

Very cool aesthetic. Service was great. Bed was not very comfortable. As close to the beach as you can get.

Room was great ,staff was amazing the colony is always my go to when staying at south beach.

Check in when great got in earlier than expected. But the tv remote wouldn’t work tv. When to front desk for assistance he said he would be right up. Hour goes by no show went back to desk no one there. Room was above an unknown night club 1:45am no sleep went and asked if the music ever stopped. Was told it would in about 5 minutes. 2:45 it finally stopped. Room was nice and clean.

Cool hotel. Great spot on Ocean Drive. Even provided a bottle of fizz for my wife and I for being our honeymoon. Would highly recommend.

We were looking for an authentic taste of Art Deco South Beach and this put us right in the middle of it at a very reasonable price! The vibe is priceless and the vintage elevator a treat! Of course the Scarface mannequin in the white caddy convertible parked out front is charming 😀👍 We will definitely return for a longer visit when the opportunity arises!

First room smelled like urine. They put is in a new room next to it, which didn’t smell as bad, but still smelled. Staff was friendly though.

Amazing view, nice staff, clean.

William at the front desk was fantastic. Rooms clean, know a little small. It would have been nice to have a desk and more Outlets but overall a great experience

No beachview staff was friendly. very small room.

Awesome staff and very clean hotel. The best in South beach I’ve stayed at! Great location! Highly recommend.

Room was in great location. Clean and everything we needed! Appreciated the service at the front desk and the beach toys offered. They even stored our bags until it was time to depart that day.

Clean room, spacious. Staff was friendly and efficient. Easy access to everything around.

Great location, but rideshares wont pick up there. Service was fine. Elevator is scary and broke my nail on the metal gate. Beds are not comfortable - super soft and you can feel every spring. Fridge barely worked. No soap in the bathroom.

Small rooms. Out dated.

The staff was so accommodating, they allowed us to store our luggage, gave us an early check in and carried our luggage to the room for us.

Best place to stay when visiting! We come back every year! Staff is friendly and grounds are clean. Very happy yet again with our stay

An authentic art deco Miami Beach hotel experience. The room was clean and updated; staff was friendly and attentive; and access to dining and the beach is steps out the door. The hotel/room ins loud with music pumping well into the night, though.

Right on the vibrant strip, loved the old style concertina door elevator. Staff very helpful

Anastasia at the bar was great! Beach access across the street, restaurants and shopping easily walkable. However, the room itself was rather rundown looking.

Awesome location with excellent services! Highly recommend!!

I had a pleasant experience at this hotel. The breakfast service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The elevator was small, but it worked well. However, there was a minor issue with the bathroom door in my room. It didn’t lock, and when I called the front desk, no one came to check on it. Despite this small inconvenience, the dinner was delicious. Asked for a wake up call never received it.

It was an old hotel but the room was clean , the beds both squeeked, lol we thought it was funny. Right in the middle of all the action.

The first room I was assigned (Room 100) had a strong odor that smelled like a gutter, and the shower curtain was covered with mold. At first, I assumed it was just cleaning chemicals, but the smell persisted throughout the day and made the room uncomfortable to stay in. Later that evening, a different front desk attendant kindly offered me another room (Room 115). This room was cleaner and much better overall, but when we returned from the beach and dinner, the air conditioning had stopped blowing cold air. There was a fan on the ceiling, but it didn’t help much since there was no ventilation in the room, and it became extremely humid overnight. The bathroom had a small window, but it was screwed shut, so there was no way to let in fresh air. When I asked the front desk if they could open it, they declined, saying it couldn’t be done. It’s disappointing, as it would only take removing one screw to make the room more livable. Suggestion for management: Please consider adding proper ventilation to your rooms. Even installing a small exhaust fan or allowing the bathroom window to open would make a big difference for guest comfort.

Nice location

When I did a Google search for art deco in Miami, photos of the Colony Hotel kept popping up so we decided to stay here in the heart of the art deco district and we're glad we did. The neon sign is iconic and the Scarface themed speakeasy in the basement is super cool. Although it lacks a few amenities of more modern hotels, it was a wonderful experience to stay at the Colony Hotel where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. stayed back in the day. Kudos to the great staff especially Israel and Fernando for making our stay so memorable.

Loved the Scarface themed restaurant and bar!

Staff was super friendly!! We took our engagement photos here and it was the perfect place!

Great location! Room was clean, staff was nice, food and drinks were great!

Beach view was obstructed. My view was the windows to the hotel next to us

Staff is great. So many restaurants. Beach is across the street. William was great getting us checked in.

Loved the Art Deco feel.

However the cleanliness was disappointing, wi does were dirty, the bathroom door was dirty and the shower didn’t look clean though that could have been just the grout. Bed was massive and comfortable but there was a lack of power sockets. Our request for a high floor and beach view were granted and the view was to die for.

A little bit of a screw up upon check in-- I bought a beach view room through Expedia; when they gave me the key and I walked in, there was already someone else in the room. After the desk clerk worried over it for a while with both me and the other party standing at the desk, I suggested he just give me another room, since they were a young family who were already unpacked and had used the bed. I asked that they just refund me the difference in price, since I got a room staring out at the wall of a neighboring property. It's been a couple of days and so far, no refund. But that might be complicated by having booked through Expedia. Regardless, despite the screw up, its a nice place with friendly staff.

Staff were great, property is in prime location reasonable rate definitely will stay there again

Yes you can walk to ross's walmart walgreens

Bucket list check-off! We loved the fun theme of The Colony. Perfect location—just a quick walk down Ocean Drive and steps from the beach. Rooms were clean, staff was super friendly, and the whole experience was easy and enjoyable. Would definitely stay again!

Location, the deco along with the music gave the Colony such a good vibe!

William in the front desk was amazing.

Everything was great from start to finish. We loved staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Everything

Its very good for the price Staff are very nice & accommodating 20% Discount in the Resto is a Bonus

This hotel staff are very friendly and nice they make you welcome. The location sis great to walking every where

29 dollars for a shot of vodka..

Access to everything

Staff very nice

Clean room but smell toilet

The room was ok, the hotel staff was very loud during their cleaning time, they are also doing repairs so keep that in mind. The three days I spend there they had the power shut down 2 times. The second time lasted all night and I was miserable with no air conditioning.

Loved the feel of the hotel, staff were super friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our waiter Stefan, he recommended us to great locations and was very helpful. Cvs next door was a plus, beach Access super easy. Hotel will let you use beach towels and any beach accessories you may need for the day. Rooms were great if you are just planning on sleeping there. Beds are comfy. There is a mini fridge, no microwave though. Large TV and decent AC unit. Restroom is nice but no air vent. We loved our stay there, I will definitely come back.

Even Holiday Inn’s washrooms are nicer then their.

Amazing stay

One of our favorite properties to stay! Always clean and friendly staff.

It is a good decent price at Miami beach. I will come back again

Outdoor in the alley need approval for urine smells

Great location, shower was weird but everything else was good

Needs to be updated. Otherwise great place

Very well. MANAGER Will was great with all the help

I love this hoteln place.

Very friendly staff and clean.

Old hotel on the strip, was about what I expected. Was a fun night in the area. Staff was friendly.

Great location, staff was amazing and food was excellent.

Location was perfect and loved the Aesthetics of the property. Definitely would stay herr again.

The hotel location was amazingly convenient. The room was clean and comfortable, however the AC didn't go on very cold.

This property is very nice. It is a historic building, so te elevator is small (but they have one), and the rooms are comfortable

Really close to south beach

Great location

Staff was good and did was great

The staff was absolutely great,very welcoming helpful, and very friendly, From the reception to the restaurant workers, the cleaning crew was providing an outstanding friendly service. Next time when i travel to Miami, without hesitation, I'm staying in this hotel. Thank you, did the great time!

My only complaint was the lack of a handicap bar for the hot tub.

The staff was amazing front desk I didn’t like that it didn’t have drawers to put clothes in and beds were very squeaky and small for a double . But overall it was pretty cool. Great location

Great staff!!

Close to restaurants and nightlife.

I like that I was close to the beach and the hotel is beachfront. Things that I didn’t like were that there was full length mirror, no lightbulb in the closet, no drawers to put your clothes in. Restroom is outdated. The bedroom area is modern. Hotel is next to CVS and is practical.

This was a great hotel - it was noisy though so be aware of that.

Location was good. Room size was very small, no hooks to hang towels, clothes etc

Great place to stay and walking distance of everything you need. Restaurants, night life, and beach. I will stay here again

Awesome back in time art deco hotel

I appreciate the hospitality! U were the start to healing my foot, the ice worked and two days later all better. Thanks for the care!

Fairly quiet, comfortable, great location, clean. My only negative is that it was extremely small. No room for any movement, luggage, clothes, toilets didn’t flush well so plugged easily and we ended up using the lobby toilet most of the trip. No daily room service, had to ask for towels, toilet paper. Not enough wall plugs or garbage. This hotel room doesn’t hold more than 2 people, that’s the only reason i would never stay here again.

The room could use a deep cleaning. Limited amenities but great location.

The customer service was excellent. A fellow by the name of Chris checked me in, and he was pleasant, professional, and efficient. He also said to see him or anyone at the desk if I needed anything before going out and buying it, because there is a chance they may have it (for example, a phone charging cord & adapter). I didn't need anything additional. The room was clean and the place is right on Ocean Drive. This hotel is historic and has been seen in many movies and TV shows, from "Scarface" to "Miami Vice," so it was fun staying in a place I've seen many times in media. Unless you get a room on the front wall, the only view you have will be of the building next door, which is fine if you are the type who does not spend much time in your hotel room.

Great location near beach, staff was amazing! Room was clean and ready on time!! Front desk helpful

Needs updated everything i understand its a art deco area but still very outdated everything having to ask for beach towels every day and towels to shower with every day sucked. Wifi was horrible in the room.

Staying in the heart of South Beach was great. Check in was easy and smooth. Hotel bar was great. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Would stay here again.

Great location for beach, bars, restaurants. Very friendly staff. Restaurant and bar in lobby and good breakfast spots next door.

Walking distance from the beach. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Wish they would offer complimentary coffee for guests. Would definitely stay here again.

The Hotel is in a great location, the service was excellent and they even upgraded us to an Ocean Drive room which was lovely. The only thing is that room can be a bit noisy. We knew the nighttime would be noisy, but it did still reduce sleep time. However I would go back, just ask for an inside room.

This hotel is located in good street, beach right in front with tons of restaurants around. But they have old elevators, dark hallway, no hangers in bathroom, weak water and not comfortable beds. But the front desk guy was very nice and helpful, good customer service.

Had a great time. At the front desk, Maria was great and allowed us to check in early. It was greatly appreciated!

From arrival Chris was very helpful and inviting to our family . We are traveling with our 6 year old boy and hotel was kid friendly and the noise of the outside was not noticeable at all. Mariana was also a great help , thank you all.

Very nice location

The convenience

The staff were amazing! The room and bathroom was very small, out dated, and needed a deep cleaning. Be prepared to pay to park. We went during spring break and valet parking was the only option. It was $50 a day and you had to give them a 20 minute heads up to bring your car to where you dropped it off (which was about a 5 minute walk from the colony). The gentleman who took our vehicle was polite but spoke VERY limited English, that was difficult. Off seasons, there are parking garages to pay to park. The parking garages are about 5-10 minutes away as well, depending on which one you can get in. Great restaurants, beach, and shops all within walking distance. Food was great but pricey.

Rooms small but clean.

Nice art deco property with comfortable room. Great South Beach location. Would definitely stay again.

Good vibe

Hotel is very dated. No coffee machine in room or coffee bar downstairs. Very worn hotel. Great location and great staff.

Great location!

The food and the staff were great.

Housekeeping left my room door open after she was done cleaning,

Great location l, good, and shopping within walking distance. The Bed was great, food was good, Anna the bartender was awesome. Great variety as well. Bathroom is smaller than anticipated even for an average size guy like myself.

Property was clean and very convenient location. Their lobby and speak easy bar downstairs was very cute but a bit overpriced. Staff was nice and friendly. The beds need to be replaced as you could tell they were very old is why I'd give 4 stars. Overall, I'd recommend it, especially if you're walking south beach!

The staff was really nice and helpful.

Desk help was excellent and valet was helpful. Restaurant staff was good. Fire alarm in the middle of the night made for an interesting time.

The hotel needs to be kept up better. The room was ok however the view was incredible. Elevator wasn't working and the bathrooms in the speakeasy were very dirty including all the toilets clogged. Food at the restaraunt was decent

Fun

The staff and the location of this hotel is all that this property has going for itself. The hotel was dark as well as the room. There was an odor in the room that smelled of perm or curl activator. The bathroom shower curtain had mold all over it and there was mold on the refrigerator. The elevator was out the entire time. I’d rate it a 3/10 and I’d probably never return.

Enjoyed my stay

Perfectly located for beach, restaurants, and nightlife!

great for

The Colony is a cool old Art Deco building in a great location, but seriously in need of renovation and upgrading. Staff were always friendly and helpful despite being rather overwhelmed.

Great location in the art deco district. Older buildings . Enjoyed our stay. AC was a little bit noisy in the room.

Staff once amazing 👏 can wait to book again

very cute hotel in a great location. Good food at restaurant, friendly staff

Great location. Room was nice looking but the remodeling was shooty work. No place to sit orher than bed. Fridge was nightstand . All the outlet were loose. Wouldn't stay there again

Very average…..

It was nice to be able to sit by the pool with friends late at night. Close gas station for things we needed. Bar/ restaurant on the premises which was nice. Staff was super nice. Shuttle to the Port of Miami for a price per person. Only problem we found was 2 bugs in our room, but from what we have seen they are normal for the South of Florida.

We only stayed one night to be close to the port for a cruise the next day. The staff were great. The only downside was the dead roach in our bathroom.

Great location on Southbeach & close to cruise port. Slightly difficult to pull car in front of hotel to unload luggage & parking is in a public garage about 1/2 mile walk. Coffee and breakfast available for $11. Rooms slightly small, but fit 4 suitcases. Beds 3.5/5 comfort, but good blackout shades. Very clean room.

Very noisy at night but that's to be expected on South Beach

FRONT OF SOUTH BEACH MIAMI

Cool hotel. Good food. Very nice people. BRING EARPLUGS.

The staff were very nice and helped share good eats around the neighborhood. Everything is close by and great walking distance to the beach. This area has a fun old Miami vibe. We stayed at the Colony and it’s famous for the Tony Montana theme.

Old hotel

Great location and value. Service was great and rooms were decent. Would stay again

Get better showerheads and then you can actually wash your whole body with would be a recommendation of highly from somebody in the business and have a store open well I guess you guys got CVS so the CVS is awesome since it's 24 hours but it would be nice to have a store inside the hotel For guests and be able to build a room. Thank you. See you again. The staff was awesome. Give him a raise.

The photos are way better than the actual hotel.
