It was super close to the beach and a lot of variety for food choices. They offered Beach Towels and umbrella included in the resort fee.

Our room was on the 4th floor in a corner so the wifi wasn't working for us. We weren't able to use the TV streaming because of that. The signal was just not good. We asked the staff about it but there wasn't anything they could do. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Location on the strip was great. The room was clean and the bathroom was very modern. Enjoyed free beach towel chair and umbrella and complimentary drink was fantabulous!!!!

The smell on the elevator was horrific and inside the room is tight and dark. The view was not good, so we were unable to open the curtains to allow light in.

Nice vibe, cool rooftop people don't really know of :) the whole hotel has a nice smell. Staff was very helpful and location can't be better. It's quite at this part of the street while a short walk will get you to the hussling area of Ocean Dr. Also, beach access is great.

We were on the older part of the hotel and I think the rooms are small. A couple would work OK but more is problematic. - No venting in bathroom - The door is also too close to the main door so sometimes you are needed to "engineer" your way out. - There is nowhere to dry bathing suites after the beach - A wierd sound was coming from A/C A major problem for us was finding parking. There is no affordable street parking around, and hotel parking is even more expensive.

Fantastic location, 1 block to the beach and a very short walk to the busy part of Ocean Drive. It's the perfect distance to be close to the shops and restaurants without any noise when you're trying to sleep. The staff went above and beyond, 11/10, shout out to William at the front desk and Alberto and Nelson at the bar! We were provided a complimentary room upgrade. Room was clean, had a small couch, desk, and mini fridge. Bathroom had plenty of counter space and a spacious walk in shower with a ledge to sit, and nice double shower head. The first night they offer complimentary welcome drinks. Plus, two of the nights we stayed they hosted free cocktail making classes. It was such a fun, hands on experience. They provide you 2 beach towel cards per room to exchange for fresh beach towels each day. They have an agreement with Esteban's, one of the beach chair/umbrella vendors at South Beach, so we could get 2 chairs and an umbrella. Super convenient. There's cold, filtered water machines in the lobbies. We didn't use them but they had bicycles you could check out. Finally, there's a cute little rooftop area with some lounge chairs and extra large connect 4/jenga games. Excellent location plus excellent service makes the Balfour such a great value. We will definitely stay here again if we're ever back in Miami Beach.

They charged us for minibar services we didn't use, but quickly refunded it once I pointed it out. They said they mixed up the room number somehow. Some of the outlets in the room didn't work. I wish the pool had been open a little later at night so we could enjoy the pool after getting home from dinner in the evening. The pool is on the smaller side, just for standing and drinking but not for swimming. The elevator was slow and stiflingly hot.

The property is within walking distance to pretty much everything you would need. Food, souvenirs, the beach, landmarks, Walgreen's/CVS, pretty much everything. The staff is helpful and you get a lot of perks just for staying there. Daily umbrella and chairs on a private beach, credits toward bike rentals, and other stuff that we didn't use but sounded pretty good. The rooms are decent with comfortable beds and good features. The rooftop view was fair and nice to hang out on in the evenings.

It was a little complicated to connect to the wifi, but it was there and was good when you got connected. There was a hot tub/pool thing that was cute, but kind of small. But the beach is right there, so... The restaurant was a little pricey and the food was mid, but you don't have to eat there so just go somewhere else. There are a lot of restaurants that are within walking distance anyways.

Great location on South Beach in a classic historic building. Room was a mix of modern and art deco style construction. Offered a welcome cocktail upon arrival. 24hr reception and nice lobby and garden patio and front patio to sit in and relax. Minutes walking from the beach. Close to many bars and restaurants.

Price for what I felt I got was ok. But the over amenities is fine. I absolutely hate the concept of resort fees. Anywhere. Everywhere. They’re ridiculous. Didn’t get to utilize any of the amenities the fee supposedly covers.

Really nice double aspect corner room, great coffee machine. Good bathroom with nice rain shower.

We wanted to rent the hotel bikes which required downloading an app but had some trouble figuring out how to do it. After failing initially we sought help at reception and by the time they came out it was 2 minutes past the rent time (6.02pm). The app rejected us and they told us they couldn’t override it which is a bit sad as we were on time originally. So we had to change our evening plans… that didnt feel good enough service wise. Especially because on the app it had said they could be rented until 8pm.

This was a wonderful experience and have no complaints! William at the front desk, went above and beyond to accommodate us with our room before and after a cruise. He gave recommendations for dining, which we didn’t use, but was very personable and wanted to ensure we had a great time and experience! The rooms were clean and comfy, and the water was nice and hot in the shower. The hotel coffee was good, as well as the breakfast and dessert, and enjoying the courtyard and nice front patio dining space. But the location, is perfect, 2 min walk from the beach, towels and chairs and umbrellas provided, and on the quiet end of Southbeach, so no loud noise or parties, but a 5 min walk to more of a party scene if you are into it, which we are not! But overall, a great experience, and would definitely stay here again if we book our next cruise out of Miami!

I love the location of this property, the beach was a block away, there’s lots of great eateries in walking distance of the hotel, had lots of great amenities & the staff was super friendly & nice. They always greeted us, opened doors for us & made sure we had everything we needed for check in. They provided us with cards that we could use to trade in for beach towels & the rooms came with complimentary beach chairs & umbrellas that staff would set up for you at the beach. The rooms were a great size & really spacious. We didn’t get to use the pool but it looked great & we hope to come back so we can take advantage of lounging at their pool!

We didn’t mind it at all very much but the bathrooms were a bit small. We do believe they could be upgraded if shelves were added to the walls in the bathroom for a bit more space to put our toiletries but other than that, the rooms were great.

From the beginning, the staff were welcoming and helped us get settled in when we checked in at 1:00am. The entire property was super clean and well maintained. Everyone seemed happy to be working here and guests were always enjoying their time in the lobby area. The rooftop is also a fun space to relax and explore!

The plumbing is loud, meaning that when other guests flush the toilet or use the shower, you can loudly hear the flow through the walls. Not a big deal to me, but something to be aware of. We were on the second floor so it might be better if you’re on a top floor. I also wish the bathroom had a bit more counter space, but we made it work. It was a great stay!
