Majestic South Beach Hotel - Miami Beach

The location of the hotel was EXCELLENT! U just cross the st and the beach is there. However the hotel itself wAs nasty. You walked dlwn the hallway and is smelled like insect repellent and moldy. Our room reeked like marijuana. We left the windows open to air it out but even so it smelled the entire time we were there. It was old looking.

I did like the location but I didn't like the wait fir the car .they small refrigetar al least.

The hotel was very nice. Sometimes I had to switch Wi-Fi networks, but it was okay. Our room and bathroom were *extremely* small, but it was still a nice hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent location, you can walk everywhere and are across from the beach. Our room was clean and staff attentive but there was a lot of outside noise from the trash pickup and vendor deliveries on early Saturday morning. Inside the hotel it was very quiet. I highly recommend this hotel if you like to be in the heart of South Beach with restaurants, […] bars and stores at your fingertips. Skip the expensive menus on Ocean Drive and go local a few blocks west- it's worth it. Also make sure you go to News Cafe. Read more

The hotel is located right on the South Beach strip in a great location. It is perfect if you are just using it as a place to sleep. The hotel also has a restaurant with numerous tables around the entrance and sidewalk with huge alcoholic beverages. If it wasn't for the restaurant and location though, I would never stay there. Hope this helps!

Shabby hotel, needs upgrade. The only good thing was that it was across from the beach. Had I known better about South Beach, I would've chosen a better hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A good price, but the condition of the room is not good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Average. Overpriced.

Nothing like the pictures shown on line. This hotel is very old and looks like nothing was ever updated. The carpet is ripped and torn and the lobby appears dirty. I will never sta at this rat hole again!

I stayed here with 3 girlfriends for a quickie girls getaway weekend in SoBe. This was ideal for that because we just needed a conveniently-located hotel that was affordable and close to the SoBe party action, and this definitely fits the bill. The room was the typical small size that you'd find with these old hotels, and they somehow managed to cram […] 2 double beds into there. The bathroom was a good enough size and actually quite clean. Thankfully, the room also had a good-enough sized closet with shelf-space so that we could place our luggage (4 women with lots of dress-changes makes for a lot of suitcases). The front desk staff were friendly and even helped us out with passes to clubs. We ate dinner one night at the downstairs restaurant which had okay food but excellent 2-4-1 jumbo drinks. Other than that, not much other amenities are included. All in all, Majestic is just right if you want someplace convenient and in the heart of the Ocean Drive action for a couple nights or weekend, but beyond that, I would recommend checking somewhere else with more amenities if you want more creature comforts included in your stay.

everything is near but this is just a weekend or a one night hotel... don't like it

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great value for the location on ocean drive, in the heart of the night life. Not where I would stay if I were in south beach for a week but great for overnight or weekend travel. Would be great for spring breakers yet I believe I saw a sign that their pool is at a sister boutique hotel.

I booked the hotel before I read the reviews. I then read the reviews and got a bit nervous. However I didn't cancel. Glad I did because the room was fine. The hotel is in the heart of South Beach. Parking is always crazy anywhere in south beach so not the hotels fault. The price of the room was fine...the size of the room was fine.. Had 2 double beds. […] The bathroom was fine, full shower! I compared it to a NYC hotel!!! The only issue I had was leaving the deposit at check it. Just thought deposit for the room was unfair. Also the resort fee should have been included in the price of hotel! Read more

I was disappointed in the room. It was tiny and old! It should be classified as a motel not hotel! There were extra charges for valet as resort fees so be prepared for that. The location was ideal. Right on Ocean Drive!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The elevator doesn't work, had to carry our luggage up to the third floor!!! It's super small! You have to hunt down housekeeping for towels! The location is great but the small amount of time spent in the room was uncomfortable!! Never will we stay their again. Had to pay a 12.50 resort fee per night...with no elevator! Smh

Genuine Expedia guest review

The pictures on the web site look nothing like the REAL hotel room and the hotel in general. There is no "reception area", you have to walk through a very busy restaurant; hallways are very dirty and the hotel in general in not kept up. This is definitely not worth the money!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel is in great location, was clean, and beds were comfy but.. windows are far from soundproof. Noise outside window was so loud. Didn't sleep till 4am.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Majestic South Beach Hotel. We will make arrangements to stay at this hotel on future visites to Miami.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was great being so close to the beach and all south beach has to offer, but the hotel itself was loud and dirty. Also, expect to pay an additional fee a non top of the original booking charge. The hotel charges a "convenience fee" for towels and bottled water.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not blown away but worth the stay for the location. Not my 1st visit.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Place is very very old, loud, a little dirty and not more than a "hangout" for young people who are recovering from hangovers. Even on a Monday.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was alright. Nothing to write home about. Just a relatively clean budget hotel. People party there, but that's what I was looking for.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Dont stay here service was horrible! We get there and out tv didnt work we get the guy at the counter he didn't know how to fix it and didn't have another room to put us in and told us we were out luck..after all this out towel had stains on it.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Noisy. Internet worked periodically. Valet parking was a scam. A/c would be cold when it ran, and warm when it shut off. Would not stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is far and away the loudest hotel, and sidewalk restaurant, in South Beach. It is a great location and the rooms are not bad but the noise level of the restaurant is a real detractor. We ate at several other South Beach sidewalk restaurants where you could carry on a conversation and wished we had also stayed at their hotels.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel charged additional taxes obviously not all included.... I even showed them where it said taxes included in the res and they didn't care

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

good for the price!!!! excellent location! definitely coming back and stay in the same place!!!

The elevator was broke most of the time we were there. Other than a couple of billing issues, it was good.

Cleaning staff was amazing :) Great location on Ocean Drive :)

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice staff good location near the beach. No parking but they offer valet or just park in parking garage a few blocks away like we did and walk. We had no need for a vehicle anyway.

Overall, the hotel was O.K. The room was small, with no refrigerator or microwave and somewhat noisy. Halls and lobby were worn, but you must consider location and age. Location was right in the middle of South Beach action and across from the beach and coconut palms. Tons of restaurants adjacent, but all expensive -- again, location.

Location was wonderful!!! Exactly what I expected to the hotel... people, please remember- your on Ocean Ave so expect noise and music being loud...The restaurant connected was real good!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

We expected a small boutique hotel and learned that all of the Ocean Dr Boutique hotels would be small as that was the style when they were originally popular. But my o my it was tiny, tiny! The worst part was checking in walking thru the restaurant that was on the porch and front sidewalk. To be fair most of the Ocean front hotels had sidewalk and […] porch restaurants in the front. But the same entrance as the hotel, walking thru the diners with your luggage? Come on. No one is that cheap. The hotel is on a corner and it would not have been that hard to add a hotel entrance. It was also very difficult to communicate with the "desk clerk" as the music was blaring so loud it was an impossible situation. The pictures are totally deceiving. But overall it was fairly clean and old, old, old. Next time we stay in South Beach we will opt for a street or two back and try a hotel like the Essex. Read more

Our room was located on the first floor and you can hear everything from people walking on the side walk right outside, cars driving by, people drunk, etc. Our bathroom window had no glass so all the noise from outside came into our room. A huge bee flew into our room and we had to call housekeeping to come kill the bee. The water pressure is AWFUL!!! […] There is also a $12.50 per night resort fee!!!! This includes 2 bottles of water, beach towels, coffee maker, hair dryer and some other ridiculous items that should be included anyways. Anyways, the plus side is the onsite restaurant, which is actually pretty delicious. Overall, this hotel has no pool, but the beach is right there. I would not stay here again. The staff is not attentive and one afternoon, there was no body at the front desk for 20 minutes!!! Read more

Location is great, size of the room is very small, but it was not the issue so much. Windows where never cleaned and also sow some cockroach. South Beach is so very nice place, so it is worth of better hotel to stay in.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Excellent Staff Service, cleaning and experiencing. I recommend!!!!!!!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

It really wouldn't take that much to make the lobby a more pleasant experience but the front desk was helpful the room was clean and the location is perfect. (my wife is a clean freak and she was pleasantly surpised.) All in all it was what I expected for the price and better than my wife feared. They don't have beach chairs anymore so the 12.50 resort […] fee was a bit silly. The hostess really does not remember moment to moment that you are walking in as a hotel guest and not a potential target for the restaurant. Breakfast was quite tasty and I liked the healthy options. Read more

Good for "one night stand" with a girl but that´s pretty much it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room rate is good and we understand we need to pay the "resort fee/surcharge $12.50 pp" but the hotel & room looks much older/worse than the photos, it said we have internet due to we paid the resort fee but the only place can get connected is the lobby. It's such old building, you hear everythin at next room or couple room apart, everymoring 6am, […] I was up due to the construction or street clean or next door kid running around. Read more

To start NO HOT WATER for the entire stay! Called for clean towels and after 1 hour and 2 trips to the front desk I received the towels. I called the manager requesting a call back 48hours ago and still have yet to get a call back. They charge a resort fee of $12.50 per day for beach towels whether you use them or not. So noisy and loud from the restaurant […] that you cant sleep! I wish I had taken pictures of the room because they sure are not what is posted online! Read more

My husband and I came to Miami to go the Orange Bowl and do some drinking/beaching in South Beach (I'm 28). We are on budget and surprised that we found somewhere on Ocean Drive in our price range. We were skeptical as to what we would find upon check in, but decided to go for it anyway, we were not disappointed. This hotel was EXACTLY what we wanted. […] Close to the stadium, staggering distance from all the bars/clubs in South Beach, beachfront, clean and safe. The staff is amazing. On the first morning of my stay I called and asked for my decafe coffee to be switched to regular, it was delivered in less than five minutes. On the second night of our stay someone had an alarm clock go off at 4 in the morning, and stay on. We decided that person must have left the alarm on when they checked out, or have had a REALLY good night. My husband called the front desk and asked them to check it out and again the hotel staff responded quickly and in less than five minutes the alarm was turned off. The room was clean and comfortable and we could not have asked for a better location. If you are looking for a non sketchy hotel that is clean comfortable safe and in an amazing location with great staff this is the place for you. If you want a large room with impressive artwork and fresh flowers not in the center of bustling South Beach this is not for you. Read more

My friends and I stayed overnight to catch a cruise the next day. We had a great time but unfortunately it ended on a sour note when it came to check out. The manager (who didn't check us in, had a major attitude at check out) because we had 3 ppl in the rm. He accused me of sneaking my friend into the room. The young man at check-in didn't say anything […] when he gave us all 3 keys. The crazy thing is that even he (the manager) said he remembered seeing us check in the nite before. I would have been fine with paying for the 3rd person, but he was very rude about the issue...then he said we made a phone call but knew we didn't since we had cell phones. I told him the phone in the rm was labeled for a different rm but he said it didn't matter. Again, i was not concerned about paying, but he was soo nasty! The other staff were very nice and made our stay enjoyable. They need to replace the manager! Read more

The attention of the staff was commendable, however, there is no parking available - other than a valet service. Parking was two blocks away at a municipal garage for $20./day.

The location was very good. But the service is not good and the room was not clean the bathroom was so bad. I will not visit the hotel again.
