Hotel Ocean

South Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just steps from the Versace Mansion, across from the iconic South Beach lifeguard towers, and right in amongst a host of bars and restaurants - here you're perfectly located to enjoy the bright lights, sunny days, and all round excitement of Ocean Drive. Simplicity is key at this hotel. Whilst you may not find endless facilities on property, there's complimentary bicycle rental for you to head out and explore - or wander a few yards down the road to Hotel Victor where you can make use of their pool if you're in need of a cool down. Il Giardino is set at the front of the hotel, so you can sit out on the patio and enjoy delicious Italian food, night or day. It's a hot spot for watching the world go by, and lots does go by on this street!

I was looking for a hotel on Ocean Drive for a couple of nights that wasn’t going to break the bank. The location is great, with all the classic hotels and bars and easy walk away.

I was looking for a hotel on Ocean Drive for a couple of nights that wasn’t going to break the bank. The location is great, with all the classic hotels and bars and easy walk away. The room was clean and spacious. The front desk staff were always cheerful and very helpful with enquiries, particularly regarding local excursions. My only criticism would be the included breakfast, which is outsourced to the restaurant downstairs, it’s a bit limited compared to the offering to paying outsiders, no bacon for example. Other than that I would highly recommend this place for location and value Read less

Pros: The front desk was amazing, in specialty Mr Pino, super friendly. The location is very good, right in front of the beach, free amenities like coffee and tea, also, free bikes. Cons: The hotel is a little bit old, although the restroom is refurbished, the room and the floor is old and inappropriate.

Check in OK but no information given to what we could use - ie each towels, beach chairs and found these out from previous reviews or discounts at other venues so we didn't get them.

Check in OK but no information given to what we could use - ie each towels, beach chairs and found these out from previous reviews or discounts at other venues so we didn't get them. The room was lovely and our request for a quiet one was honoured. Not being a coffee drinker the availability of fresh hot water in the room would have been appreciated as we had to run the coffee machine through a few times to get non coffee tasting drinks but the selection of teas were great. The position was perfect and we would return if we came to South Beach again. Read less
