Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Colony Hotel is prized for its superb location right on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, offering immediate access to the beach and placing guests in the heart of the action, surrounded by restaurants and shops. Many guests appreciated the clean and comfortable, recently renovated rooms, some of which even offer sea views. While the room size may be a bit compact for some, the convenience of beach towel service, along with large TVs, and access to Montanas restaurant, appear to add significant value; however, a few guests have noted issues with outdated facilities.

Acceptable Stay

helpful staff friendly bartender unfriendly cafe inconvenient policy

The front desk staff was very helpful. Mariana and William answered all our questions with knowledge and friendliness. The bar was cute and chic. Our bartender was friendly and the drinks were good.

The cafe seemed unfriendly. They wanted me to buy breakfast to get complimentary coffee, but I forgot my wallet. I wanted to charge the coffee to my room, but they gave me a hard time. I could not buy coffee and take it to my room.

friendly celine oceanfront view taxi arrangement perfect cleanliness

Celine. Her warmth was like sunshine. mariana ensured a taxi awaited us and she remembered our names each time we returned. the oceanfront view was amazing. I seemed like i could reach out and touch the waves. the absence of sand was a good surprise. Cleanliness was perfect.

The lobby felt a bit small. Bar tables occupied much of the space, it got a little crowded at times.
