The location was great and the staff was always there. We felt safe at the hotel and enjoyed our stay.
The rooms are not that soundproofed so you can hear very well your neighbours and people out in the hall.

The location was great. I liked the size of the hotel. I like the character.
The bed was uncomfortable. The air conditioning was extremely loud. The drain in the shower didn't work. The TV casting didn't work, and after we told the engineer, they didn't fix it.

The beach access was fantastic along with the location.
The property is very dated and small. The water in the shower is very hard and smells bad. The rooms are tiny. In our room the AC made noise all night and the ceiling fan shook violently when in use.

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.

We arrived early and were delighted to find that our room was ready. The reception staff were excellent. Friendly and welcoming and always willing to offer advice on local details. The room was a decent size and well appointed. The location is great as it is handy for the beach .. a few minutes walk .. but also for exploring the local area and restaurants. There is a a small plunge pool ( we didnt use ) and a roof terrace which was a nice quiet space. There is a nice coffee shop next door which also does pastries so we tended to use it for breakfast.
Nothing .. All was satisfactory .

The location
This hotel was an absolute disappointment from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by someone who clearly did not seem happy to be there. The room itself was dark and poorly equipped, with broken blinds instead of proper curtains, no wardrobe or closet space, and an extremely loud air-conditioning system.
Housekeeping was provided only once during our four-night stay, and that was after repeatedly calling reception and specifically requesting it.
Additionally, the yoga session advertised online never took place. Several guests were waiting in the reception area, yet the instructor simply did not show up. No explanation or follow-up was offered.
None of these issues were addressed in a meaningful way, nor was there any form of compensation only a dismissive shrug from reception.
Overall, this stay fell far below expectations. I would not return to this hotel and would not recommend it to others.

We really liked the location, the interior design, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. A special thank you to the staff — everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They also extended our check-out by one hour without any issues, which we really appreciated. I especially love small boutique-style hotels like this because they usually feel much more cozy, comfortable, and personal.
One downside was the noise insulation in the room. At night, I could hear another guest snoring quite clearly — I believe they were staying in the room above us. The Wi-Fi was also very poor and barely worked in our room on the first floor. Housekeeping felt a bit superficial, as there was quite a lot of dust, especially on the headboard and around the outlets. The bathroom was also quite small.

Great location, lovely colonial decor.
Staff was unwelcoming and made us feel like we were bothering them. We got a room with black mold in the ceiling and we couldn't get another room until the day after because there were no rooms available and the next day they kept telling us to come back later and were not proactive about it at all.

I liked to location and how clean the rooms were everyday.
I didn't feel the front desk was as friendly and open as it should. I also felt the access to beach towels were a bit off. The front desk gave me bath towels instead of a beach towel the first day. I also didn't feel safe with security as the elevators or front of the hotel did not require any hotel id to get in so anyone is able to roam in without proof.

The room itself was nice and spacious with nice windows for light. The bed was very comfortable. The location was nice. We liked that we could easily take the stairs when we didn't have our bags. We've stayed at Hotel Breakwater for a similar price before, and I'd choose Balfour over that every time.
The bathroom is way too small for comfort. The shower didn't drain well. The "free welcome drink" is only good for beer/wine. We attempted to get a table for a drink and some food the first day, but ended up waiting too long and went elsewhere.

Great location, close but not in the noisy tourist section. The Superior Suite is a good size for Miami Beach, comfortable bed, clean, nice hotel, good staff - and only a few steps to the beach.
Valet can take a while to bring the car. Room is sealed, so have to use air conditioning.

We booked because we liked the location next to Miami beach, as it was a 1-block walk to the beach. The hotel is a quaint offering, some uniqueness to the hotel as it looks antiquated. Appearance was nice inside and out. They have a bar with unique drinks and house beers, not offering any other beer than that. But, the beer was good nonetheless. The bathroom was pretty unique, as the shower and the main floor was one without a curb. It all flowed to the drain. Something you would like in your own house.
There was also a small grocery market to grab food for the beach, and a popular restaurant (Big Pink) that were both within walking distance.
The room that we stayed in had a known problem with the bathroom sink, where the mount was coming off of the wall. Also, not enough shelving or counter space (no counter at all) in the bathroom for toiletries. The bed and pillows were not as comfortable as desired. Even though most of the hotels in the area were high priced because of location to the beach, this was a bit overpriced.

* Check-in is very easy and smooth — complete the formalities online beforehand and simply collect your key card upon arrival.
* The beach is a hop skip and jump from the hotel, and having access to beach chairs and umbrellas (Estebans Place) is a huge bonus. You also get 2 hours free if you use their in house bike facility.
* I appreciated the availability of filtered water stations so guests can refill their bottles and avoid using plastic bottles.
* The in-room coffee was great, and the eco-friendly shower products were high quality.
* The food was genuinely very good. We tried the chicken sandwich, burger, moutabel with pita bread, and the watermelon feta salad — all were delicious.
* The hotel is within walking distance to a nearby bodega (La Playa), which was convenient for picking up daily supplies and more affordable food options- Miami is expensive and it may not be ideal to eat out for every meal.
* Our room on the 3rd floor smelled musty and damp throughout the stay. Upon check-in, the bathroom floor was dirty, there was hair rolled up in a corner, and there were stains on the bed linen.
* Housekeeping seemed very minimal — mostly just making the bed, replacing towels, and refreshing the coffee station. Floors and bathrooms were not at all cleaned, toiletries were not checked or refilled if empty, and on our last day the room wasn’t serviced at all.
* Having a kettle in the room would be helpful, especially for guests who do not drink coffee and may simply want hot water.
* There are no wall hooks anywhere to hang wet towels or clothing.
* While the bathroom itself is spacious, the sink is extremely small and the shelf above it protrudes awkwardly, making it very easy to bump your head while washing your face. There’s also very limited space for personal toiletries and no mirror in the main room.
* The walls are thin and you can hear movement and peoples conversations. This has been the case in every room we have stayed
* The biggest issue happened during checkout. I discovered that in addition to the daily deposit hold, I had also been charged again for the full stay due to what was described as a “system mess up,” despite already paying in advance before arriving in Miami. I was not informed about this at check-in. The front desk response felt very nonchalant, no apology was offered, and I was simply told the charge would be refunded with a handwritten note. I’m still waiting for this to be rectified.
* The hotel has charm and the renovated lobby area looks lovely, but our room specifically felt quite outdated. My previous stay here was much better, largely because of the room type we had. This time, the damp walls and musty environment were concerning, especially because mold is a health concern for me.
