My second stay at this hotel and it was just as great as my first stay. Staff were polite, Nathan at the receptionist counter was very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The room (this time and the last) was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The location of the hotel is extremely convenient with shopping such as Five Below and Ross, for food such as Taco Bell, Raising Canes among other classy options. There are breakfast venues such as Rosetta and loads of desserts. It’s good for shopping in Lincoln Road as well.

At first they gave me a room like a prison cell and only after I paid them another 250 dollars did they change me to a slightly larger room. The pool is not available due to some malfunction. One elevator is not working so you have to wait for the elevator for over 7 to 10 minutes.

The check-in staff were outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience did not meet the same standard.

The bartender was rude and refused to offer us a second complimentary round of drinks, even though the pool was closed and unavailable during our stay. There was no effort to make up for the inconvenience, and several of the amenities felt lacking or outdated.

I also didn’t realize the room rate was discounted because the pool was out of service. Had I known such an important amenity wouldn’t be available, I would have booked somewhere else. The room itself also had an old TV, which made the stay feel even more dated and like a poor value for the money.

The only other positive was the location. The hotel is just a short walk from the beach, and complimentary beach chairs were provided, which we appreciated. Overall, however, the experience was disappointing.

When we arrived, we were informed that the pool was still not fixed. This was especially disappointing because, four days after I made my reservation, I received a message stating that the pool repairs would be completed by June 30. Based on that communication, I reasonably expected the pool to be available during my stay.

In addition, the electrical outlets in our room were in poor condition. One of the wall outlets was loose and did not work at all. The only usable outlet was attached to the bedside lamp, which had very low wattage and was not sufficient for charging devices or using other electronics.

While I do want to acknowledge that the room itself was clean, both the bathroom and the room overall are clearly in need of refurbishment. There were noticeable signs of wear and tear throughout, and it was evident that the accommodations are overdue for updates.

It is disappointing that the company continues to rent out rooms in this condition, knowing they are not up to the standard guests expect. Between the unavailable pool, the electrical issues, and the overall condition of the room, this stay did not reflect the quality or value that was advertised or expected.

I would especially like to thank Isabela at the front desk for her kindness and professionalism. She went above and beyond to make sure my stay was safe, smooth, and as perfect as possible. Her warm attitude and attention to detail made a real difference. I truly appreciate her outstanding service and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommended

I recently traveled from the West Coast to attend a conference at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and after a long, exhausting flight, I arrived at my hotel around 9 AM—far earlier than standard check-in. I was honestly bracing myself for a long wait in the lobby.

Instead, I was met by two incredible front desk team members, Nathan and Hugo, who completely changed the tone of my day.

From the moment I approached the desk, they treated me with genuine care and understanding. They could clearly see how tired I was, and without hesitation, they went above and beyond to try to help. Within about 15 minutes, they managed to arrange a room for me—something I know isn’t easy during busy conference times. That small act felt like a huge relief after traveling across the country.

Their kindness reminded me of the famous story behind the Waldorf Astoria New York, where a young clerk once gave up his own room to help a stranded couple. That story has always symbolized true hospitality—putting people first in moments that matter. Nathan and Hugo embodied that same spirit.

It’s easy for service to become routine, but what they showed was anything but. It was thoughtful, human, and genuinely memorable.

Because of them, my trip started not with stress, but with gratitude. That’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after checkout.

Thank you, Nathan and Hugo—you made a lasting impression.

Pool was not working, there was no running water for more than a few hours one afternoon, phone did not work, one of the two elevators was not working, some lights in my room did not work, pillows were oddly lumpy. They give you pass for free chair and umbrella at beach with a partnering hotel but that area of beach disgusting with seaweed so you can’t even enter water and seaweed gives beach foul odor.

You get what you pay for. I booked the single bedroom, and the bed was only slightly bigger than a twin size. The pictures advertise a pool, but it’s currently unavailable due to renovations, which was disappointing. They will hold your bags if you arrive early, but they do not offer early check-in.

If you’re mainly looking for a basic place to sleep, it does the job. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The lobby area is nice, but the rooms definitely don’t match the appearance of the common areas. There is plenty of shopping and food nearby, which was convenient. The lobby bar was okay, but drinks were pricey and they don’t serve food.

The convenience of the Albion Hotel was perfect for what we needed. Close to the beach and the Lincoln Road shopping strip. The room was comfortable and the staff cleaned it daily; very well. The breakfast was not included with our stay but was very good nonetheless. Our only complaints was that the pool was still under maintenance, but it was mentioned on the website; and we were somewhat surprised by a regular room, when our booking stated that a balcony and sofa would be part of our reservation. We didn’t make an issue of it because all of South Beach was already booked. In fact, we talked to a guest who had checked out and had to come back because he could not find another room. So, all in all, our stay was pleasant. When we go to the beach, we typically go to spend time outside in the sun anyway.
