The staff were all so amazing and really tried hard to help me change rooms to a quieter area. However, nothing was available as the hotel was fully booked. Nonetheless, the front desk girls were all super nice. The hotel feels new and clean, the rooms are a good size. Nice bathroom. Great location.

Fue una buena experiencia, lugar céntrico y cerca de el lugar donde tenía que ir al concierto, la habitación estaba en muy buen estado, y el precio me pareció aceptable, calidad/precio. La atención fue excelente, tanto la recepción como los de el valet parking, la verdad en cuanto atención 10/10.
Pero como nada puede ser perfecto, tuve un par de inconvenientes, desde algunos muy sencillos hasta otros un poco más molestos, la habitación que me dieron fue la 114, primero la habitación es en otro building, la calidad de la habitación muy buena, pero no era la habitación que habíamos rentado, estaba bien, pero la que vi en las fotos incluía un baño más como bañera para hundirte y relajarte, y el que nos tocó era más como bañera común de estar de pie, aunque bien se podía hacer lo de llenarla, primero no era la misma forma que el de las fotos y segundo no existía un tapón para detener el agua, luego también, en las fotos se veía como un tocadiscos, y me hacía mucha ilusión poner algo de música, no estaba. Luego la televisión tampoco se podía ver. Esos fueron las cosas más simples, algo más difícil, la habitación estaba muy cerca de la entrada, se escuchaba el paso de las personas y el cierre de la puerta el cual era muy molesto, los pasos de las personas de arriba se escuchaban muy fuerte, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba bien, demasiado calor, las ventanas estaban tapadas de un plástico blanco. La verdad por todo lo demás 10/10, eso si si voy de nuevo buscaría otra habitación.

I am going to start by saying my husband and I have stayed here in the past and had no complaints. I do believe our horrible experience this time around was from the day we checked in and the young lady working was not accommodating at check in. I did let them know we were traveling for our anniversary before we arrived. They decided to give us a room on first floor behind the main desk across from the hotel lobby bathrooms. Room was an adjourned room with a whole bunch of kids partying.

They asked for me to scan a QR code so they can contact me via whats app when the room was ready and they never did. Once we got our room and requested to be moved because it was in a horrible

I only stayed for 1 night for work. I dropped off my bags and didn't take a close look around. When I returned, I noticed the bathroom was filthy. Toilet seat not cleaned, face towel was used, saw what looked like blood on the bathroom door, mold on the shower curtain, and there were little flies in the sink and shower. It was almost 1am so I didn't have the energy to repack and change rooms, but I was very disappointed.

Room was not properly cleaned prior to stay, and we found a chewed up piece of gum on the lid of the ice bucket. The front desk was immediately called with the complaint, and we were told that housekeeping had already left, and we would have to deal with it for the night. In the morning when housekeeping came, they simply made the beds and once again did not clean the gum we reported, nor replaced the dirty ice bucket. This was incredibly disgusting, and the lack of care or urgency from the staff was disheartening. Deeply regret choosing this hotel for our stay in Miami.

We stayed at Uma Hotel for one night, and unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience. Our room was located in a separate side building, which had no porter service and required carrying two large suitcases up stairs—quite inconvenient, especially for a short stay.

The building itself also didn’t feel particularly secure, which made us uncomfortable. On top of that, noise was a major issue—we could clearly hear sounds from neighboring rooms, the hallway, and even the room above, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

Since we were only there to sleep and didn’t use any of the hotel’s facilities, it was disappointing to still be charged a resort fee. Overall, the stay didn’t meet expectations and felt poor value for money.

We very much enjoyed our stay at UMA House. Our room was very clean, and the bed extremely comfortable. The location was wonderful.

I do note that we booked a room for three, and there was only one king bed. There was no sofa for a third person, and very little furniture in the room. Furnishings and decor are very simple. I also accidentally booked an ADA room, and the shower had no curtain or door. The shower itself was wonderful but having no closure to the shower area was not ideal. Just something to be aware of when you select a room.

All in all, our stay was very nice, and we would recommend and book again. It is a very good value.

This is a hotel/motel hybrid - which was not clear to me before we checked in. The door to our room was completely exposed to the outside and that was not a good surprise. Everything was okay and safe after all, but I am not a fan of motel set ups. There are inside rooms, but we did not get one of those. The rooftop pool was great and the property was clean.

If they stick you in the floor 1 rooms behind reception, be warned. Absolutely absurd that those are even rooms available. Luckily they very kindly moved me when I was concerned about the noise.

We booked one king with sofa bed for the kid. Overall the room is clean. But when we unfold the sofa bed, there are nuts and built up dust on the sofa bed right under the sofa cushions. It was definitely unpleasant to see and clean it. It appeared to that the sofa bed had not been used for a while. When a room is booked with three guests, you would think it is the hotel’s procedure to make sure the sofa bed is clean and ready? We checked in around midnight, non of us had the energy to have cleaning team to come over to vacuum and clean it. So we cleaned the nuts and dust and covered with extra bed sheet. The rest of the room is clean though.

Really shocking experience $50 parking is the only option or you basically get a ticket and in addition to that they charge an extra $40 short fee even if you’re here on a business trip and it’s certainly not a resort. If you’re going there plan on these extra expenses, it was real turn off for me.

Loved this hotel. It’s a quaint boutique hotel very close to beach and walking for restaurants etc.
they do offer the chairs and umbrellas for beach which was fabulous - it is a bit of a walk to the actual chair vendor from the hotel.
There is no microwave on premise - so if you need to heat anything up - this is an issue.
I also mistakenly thought a breakfast (light continental) was available or included but it’s actually just a coffee shop off the premises - a close walk.
The pool area is amazing, with beautiful views.
The concierge was lovely, they held our multiple bags for us as our rooms were not available earlier.
The whole front desk personnel were lovely to clear up any miscommunications about check in.
The room for the value was definitely worth it.
Nice size. And comfortable beds.
Would definitely stay there again.

I had reserved my room beginning Saturday, as I was planning to arrive very late that evening. I completed the check-in process through the app on Saturday afternoon. However, upon my arrival at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, I was informed that my reservation had been canceled on Saturday. This caused a significant inconvenience, as I had to wait approximately 30 minutes before receiving my room keys.

Once I entered the room, which was booked for two guests, I found that only one set of towels had been provided. Throughout my four-day stay, housekeeping service was inconsistent. My room was serviced only twice, and the second time occurred only after I personally went to inquire why it had not been cleaned. The explanation given was that I had placed a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door—yet no such sign had ever been present in my room.

When service was provided, the quality did not meet basic standards. The bathroom was not cleaned properly, the trash can was not emptied, and the bed was made with only one sheet, without the additional sheet and duvet that should have been provided.

Additionally, I had booked this stay as a VIP anniversary trip, and I was very disappointed that no amenities or special touches were arranged to acknowledge the occasion, despite the information provided at booking.

Overall, this experience fell short of the service and standards I expected.

Very conveniently located to Miami/South Beach. There were tons of great restaurants and bars and lots of stores. The hotel was nice and in great repair. Valet parking is spendy and even slower than expected (15 mins was almost half an hour). The room was awesome, clean and there was a hand written note with a bottle of champagne, which was really nice. The front desk worker sending us to the wrong building because she is “still new” was less new. Staff was the least friendly (and competent) in the 5 different hotels we stayed in.

Musty, prone to flooding from.shower stall

I was given an \"Accessible\", which I did not need. The shower stall bled into the bathroom floor with no barrier, to allow for wheelchair access. Fine. But, with no way to.keep the water within the.stall, water flooded out into the bathroom and from there into the room itself. Took over.a dozen towels to mop up. And even before this occurred, the room had a mustry smell, i assume from previous floods.

Excellent you must stay.

Uma exceeded our expectations. The staff will go above and beyond to make your stay great. Uma includes so many free amenities you’d have to pay elsewhere. From the bottle of champagne on arrival, to the free happy hour wine everyday, to the beach chairs is an incredible value for south beach. On top of all of that they let us check in 6 hours early and for a small fee let us stay 4 hours late our last day because we had a late flight. The beds were so comfortable and everything so clean I felt at home the whole time. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, thank you all.

Fantastic hotel, great amenities, location, value

We were thrilled with our stay at Uma House! I travel a lot and am extremely picky about where I stay because I want to be comfortable (clean room, comfortable bed, good amenities), and I want to feel safe. I almost passed Uma house up because the rates were so much lower than other comparable places - I thought there might be something wrong with it. I hit the jackpot with this place. Fantastic location, very safe and clean (no unpleasant odors in the room - I can’t stand musty rooms or ones that stink of cleaning products), bright sunny room, the employees were friendly and helpful, and we LOVED the amenities. Beautiful rooftops on each building, a great pool lounge area, great views, discounts at the restaurant in the sunrise building, free beach chairs at Boucher brothers, and they stored our bags for us after we checked out.
In a few of the reviews I read before booking, people complained about not being able to open windows. The room is very well ventilated and it is hot and humid as heck outside, so I don’t know why anyone would want to open their window anyway. A note for the hotel - it would be great if there were more hooks for hanging beach towels and regular towels.

I put one of my employees up in a room at the hotel as well and she thought it was fantastic. We both plan to stay at Uma again if we find ourselves in Miami Beach.

This property used to be part of the old apartments in Miami Beach that was converted into a hotel. This is maybe the cleanest hotel I’ve been in a long time. The lobby service was superb. I suggest take the valet. Collins Ave is just 1/2 block away and Lincoln Road just 4 blocks away. You can enjoy Miami Beach at it fullest and still have a relaxing staying at this hotel.

Cons: we stayed in the building without the rooftop pool so any time we wanted to go back to the room, we needed to walk through the outside street. Wish we stayed in the building with the pool.
Also, the drinks at the rooftop pool were outrageously expensive!!! I was hoping to have a few when lounging around but after getting the first little Margarita at $23 US, I didn’t dare order a second one.

Uma house is the perfect hotel in the perfect location. adding breakfast to your booking is a must. there’s an option for everyone. complimentary bikes during our stay, 2 beach chairs very close, and happy hour in the lobby from 5-6 everyday. the pool is peaceful and there’s ample areas to lounge and sit. this is our favorite hotel in south beach and i recommend it to everyone. exceeded expectations!

This has been my favorite hotel in Miami Beach. Great prices and couple blocks from the beach. It’s nice and bright and fun friendly staff. Complimentary prosecco for hotel guests all day and night. Nice rooftop lounge with bar but pool is tiny so if you want to lay by the pool, gotta make sure you get there early enough to grab a spot.
