The place was really nice, my only complaint is the people who were above room #207, it's adults, but sounded like someone was intentionally stomping and walking around like an elephant every night.. oh and my bed wasnt made daily although the trash was taken out daily

Be aware that a resort fee is charged at check-in. I would not have booked this hotel through Expedia if I had known about the additional fees, as I would expect them to be included in the listed price.

Breakfast was included and offered fresh orange juice, coffee, oat milk, ham, cheese, pastries, and hard-boiled eggs. It was pleasant to have breakfast in the small bistro, and the servers were very kind.

Our room was cleaned once during our stay. I had asked the housekeeper to return in about 15 minutes since we were getting ready to leave, but there seemed to be a language barrier and the message was not fully understood. When we returned later that afternoon, the room had not yet been serviced. The housekeeper later came back and asked to clean it at that time, so we waited in the lobby while it was done. It worked out fine, but it would have been smoother if the room had been cleaned after we initially left.

Our unit had a dishwasher, but it was out of service during our stay. Additionally, the dish sponge provided was not clean, so I ended up washing dishes using a clean face towel instead.

The front desk staff were kind and helpful, and beach towels are available for guest use.

The hotel is located south of the main Miami Beach area, making it quieter with fewer bars and restaurants nearby. This may be a benefit for those looking for a more relaxed stay.

For the price, I’d expected a lot better quality. You pay amenities fees, but there are zero amenities. The rooms are decent, however the dishes were dirty in the cabinets. The price for mini bar items was ridiculous 3.50 for a bottle of zepherphillis (think Walmart quality) water, I ate one of the mini bar KitKats (for 4.50) and it was mostly melted!

I will not be staying again, nor would I ever recommend this place to a friend, there are a few enemies that I’d tell to stay here though!

2/10 would not stay again!

Wonderful stay — everything was exactly as described. As a solo traveler, I felt very comfortable and was able to easily walk to nearby restaurants, drinks, and entertainment. The beach was also just a very short walk away.

I stayed in a corner unit, which felt more like a spacious one-bedroom apartment, complete with a large outdoor patio that I absolutely loved. I originally stayed here before departing on a cruise, but I’ll definitely be returning soon to spend more time enjoying this wonderful location.

Also, the Pink Pig restaurant directly across the street is AMAZING. The food is delicious whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You will not be disappointed!

My recent stay at Blanc Kara Hotel in Miami was a great experience from start to finish. I had initially been staying at a VRBO-style property in the area, which was underwhelming at best and didn’t live up to what was advertised online. The check-in process there was overly complicated, requiring a “selfie” verification and additional forms to be completed and submitted days in advance—even after payment had already been made.

I decided to leave that property early as soon as availability opened up at the Blanc Kara Hotel, and I’m glad that I did. The difference was immediate. Check-in was simple and welcoming, with a friendly and informative staff member at the front desk—something that made a big impression after my previous experience.

The room itself was spacious, clean, bright, and quiet—everything I was hoping for. Breakfast was included and delicious, with excellent service that added to the overall positive experience.

Overall, this hotel is a true gem and a fantastic find in the area. Having a real person at the front desk to greet you and assist with any questions or requests made all the difference. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

The wild number of amazing reviews about this place blows my mind. If you show up after 10:30, you have to use a lock box to get your key and get it because they don’t staff the front desk 24/7. It’s a hotel!? The room was tired, mold in the bathroom and a strange rusted hatch was above where you stand to use the sink. And while the AC couldn’t do a damn thing to cool down the 74-degree room, it did plenty to mar noises that would wake the dead. On the second night I got back late (no front desk) and my card key didn’t work to get me into my room. I called the hotel, zero answering service. After wandering around for 20 minutes trying to figure out what to do, I found a man sleeping on a couch in the dark lobby. He apparently worked there because he was able to reset my key. Seriously, what is this place? Lastly, I asked for a late check out (past the 11 am time) and offered to pay. I was flatly denied such courtesy just to top off my trash experience with this “hotel”.

My husband and I stayed here the night before our cruise and it was the perfect location. The property was exactly as listed, it was a block from the beach and great food options nearby. It was also only about 20 minutes away from the Miami port (in traffic). The staff was also accommodating, check-in wasn’t until 3p and our flight landed earlier than expected and they let us check-in slightly earlier. I would definitely stay again when I visit Miami!

I booked this hotel for two guests about a week before our arrival. A few days later, my son decided to join us on the trip to Miami. I contacted the hotel to add him to our room or to book an additional room, but I was told the hotel was fully booked and that adding another guest was not possible.
Because I hadn’t seen my son for nine months, it was very important for us to stay together. I asked to cancel the reservation so we could find another place that would accommodate all of us. I made the cancellation request on Thursday, but the hotel only replied on Sunday, saying I could not cancel because I had booked a non‑refundable rate.
I explained that I wasn’t canceling without reason — the hotel simply had no option for us to stay together. In the end, I had to rent an apartment so my family could be in the same place.
When we arrived in Miami, we discovered the hotel was directly across the street from our rental. I went to the front desk to ask why I should have to pay for something I didn’t receive. The receptionist was kind and tried to help, but the hotel owner refused to refund even part of the payment.
I paid about for two nights for a stay I could not use at all. This was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this hotel and cannot recommend it.

Recently stayed for a four day weekend with two other couples! Staff was amazing, our flights arrived early in the morning and we were at the hotel by 10:00am. They allowed us to store all our baggage in the lobby area and gave us a place to change our clothes. Check-in was seamless and the gentleman working the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. During the morning, the free breakfast was great and the gentlman working the kitchen was extremely helpful with directions around town and telling us about the free trolley to get around the area. The beach is a short distance away and many many restaurants are close by within walking distance. If your looking for a place to stay without a pool, this is it!

The blind on my room -- 107 -- had to be kept closed at all times, because the sidewalk comes right up to the window, and puts everyone and everything inside on display. That makes the room terribly dark. As is, the room really should not be rented out -- but installing some kind of a gauze curtain would allow light to enter without walkers outside seeing in.

The bed was ok but coming to the end of life but the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots and there was a good volume of coffee, tea and cream/sugar when we arrived and when more was needed the front desk was happy to provide more. The only 2 things that could have improved our experience would have been to have an articulated arm TV mount ass it was not a great angle for watching either from the couch or bed, and to have maybe added a shelf in the bathroom for personal toiletries. On a scale of one to five as high 4.

My girlfriend and I stayed in this hotel for 5 day. The overall rating we gave would be 4 stars.
Pro: The reception guys are very nice, provided everything we needed. The area the hotel is in is very quiet. The hotel is easy to be found. Very clean rooms. You get your own microwave and utensils fridge etc. Very very close to the beach!!!

Cons: The second we got into the room, there was a very noticeable strange smell but it is understandable as Miami has high humidity and wood tends to give strange smell when it’s soaked. You won’t notice it after you stay for a few hours. The towels do get changed daily along with shampoo, however during the stay we only get bedsheets changed once. It is very HARD and EXPENSIVE!!! to uber to downtown especially during rush hour and airport. Leave early for airports!!! All of the restaurants are very expensive!!! in the area.

In conclusion, if you love the sea and the beach and tends not to explore downtown Miami and other parts of the city( Fort Lauderdale). There is no hesitation to choose this hotel. If I get a chance to come to Miami again. I will choose this hotel again.
