They were so kind and accommodating. Hugo was helpful and welcoming. Room was clean, bed comfy. The pool and outside areas were still under construction, but it looks like it will be awesome once it’s done. We will book again our next visit.

The front desk staff at the Albion were incredibly amenable and kind. Hugo, Maha, Gian, and Carlos all went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful, and Ricardo the bellhop was especially kind and attentive. Their warmth and professionalism truly made the stay enjoyable.
The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from South Beach, which made it very convenient to explore the area.
While the hotel itself could benefit from some upgrades and the pool is currently being repaired, the service more than made up for it. Everything was very clean and well maintained.
Overall, the excellent customer service, cleanliness, and location made for a very pleasant stay. I would definitely stay again.

There was only one elevator working. Pool was not open and I was notified after I booked. I asked for an upgrade as it was a special occasion. They said yes. It ended up being a 2 - double bed room. For me and my partner.

Staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean. Location is very good.

Room was in good condition. Awkward layout with a tiny but mostly clean bathroom (it was difficult to open the door and squeeze into the bathroom). Biggest complaint ws the delay in getting the room ready made me late for a meeting that night which I purposefully flew in early for.

The 1st room smelled funny due to the carpet I believe. Then we upgraded the room and everything was fine. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The entire hotel was clean and vibrant for the most part. One of the elevators were broken. The working elevator's level 2 button was not functioning properly. The bartender was sociable, who made extremelyyyy tasty drinks. Overall decent stay!

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.

Location, location and location! Also Lobby is beautiful. Spacious rooms. Great service. For the price we paid right on high season during the holidays, couldn’t have asked for a better stay. One of the elevators was broken but even that wasn’t a big deal. Receptionists were very friendly. Would definitely stay there again since we always give ourselves a couple days before/after our cruises.

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!

The hotel looks nice and the surrounding area is great.
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.
