Hotel Ocean - Miami Beach

Kleines aber schön restauriertes Boutiquehotel direkt am Ocean Drive, daher sehr laut. Perfekte Lage für diejenigen, die Miamis Nachtleben ausgiebig und hautneh erleben wollen. Das Frühstück ist aber sehr lausig.

Das Hotel ist wirklich direkt am Puls des Lebens. Wer lärmempfindlich ist sollte vieleicht woanders buchen. Das Morgenessen inklusive zu buchen, sollte man sich sparen. Dann doch lieberr zu Starbucks! Sonst gibts wirklich nichts zu meckern.....

Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage. Direkt am Ocean Drive, mit wenigen Schritten ist man am Strand. Das Personal war immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Kontinentale Frühstück war völlig ausreichend, nur wer es herzhaft mag muß sich aus dem Supermarkt etwas kaufen.... Sehr schlechte Parkmöglichkeiten. Parkservice kostet 35$ am Tag.Man sollte versuchen […] irgendwo in der Nähe ein Parkhaus zu finden. Preise hier für 16-20$. Mehr

.... in bester Lage. Mittendrin statt nur dabei. Nur auf die Parkgebühren von 25$/ Nacht auf dem öffentlichen Parkplatz bzw. 33$ fürs Valet- Parking muss man sich einstellen. Natürlich plus Tax :-)

Das Hotel liegt super zentral am Ocean Drive. Der Hoteleingang ist etwas schwierig zu finden, da der Hotelname verdeckt ist. Der Parkservice mit 33$ ist zu teuer, da selbst super teuere Hotels nur 25$ verlangen. Generell ist es günstiger entweder im nahegelegenen Parkhaus 20$ pro 24 h oder im öffentlichen Parkplatz 15$/24h während der Woche und 20$/24h […] am Wochenende zu parken. Das Hotelzimmer war super groß und modern eingerichtet. Bad ist mit Fenster, Badewanne bzw. Whirlpool und großer Dusche. Einzig der Geruch im Zimmer war etwas eigenartig. Außerdem sollte berücksichtigt werden, dass von 19:00 bis 23:00 Lifemusik auf der Terrasse ist und die Musik bis in die Zimmer dringt. Dafür ist es aber am nächsten Morgen und tagsüber super ruhig und erholsam. Frühstück ist basic, ober ok. Generell würde ich das Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Mehr

Eines der günstigsten Hotels dieser Kategorie direkt am Ocean Drive. Wer pünktlich 8 Uhr abends ins Bett gehen will, ist hier allerdings falsch. Die Straße lebt, vor fast jedem Hotel wird bis in die Nacht laute Musik gespielt. Das Zimmer (deluxe, teilweise Meerblick gebucht) war gigantisch. Großer Wohnraum mit Tresen, großes Schlafzimmer mit Flat-Screen-TV […] und riesiges Bad mit Whirlpool und Dusche. Alles an den Art-Deko-Style des Hauses angepaßt. Keine sterile Hotelhochburg für den verkrampften Touristen sondern ein sympatisches Haus mit Flair, das die amerikanische Leichtigkeit perfekt widerspiegelt. Das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag gründlich sauber gemacht, Handtücher gewechselt, das Personal war durchgehend freundlich. Uns wurde alles genau erklärt und ungefragt Hilfe bei Tourenplanung oder ähnlichem angeboten. Das im Preis enthaltene Frühstück wirkt nach einigen Tagen etwas einseitig. Wen das stört, der findet in der unmittelbaren Nähe günstige Alternativen. Zur Lage: 2 Minuten Fußweg zum Strand, 2 Minuten zum Parkhaus um die Ecke (13th Street), 3 Minuten zur Post (Washington Ave.), 15 Minuten bis zum Supermarkt (Walgreens in der Collins Ave.) und 15 Minuten zur Lincoln Road Mall (Achtung: alle Geschäfte befinden sich in einer Fußgängerzone, keine klimatisierte Mall!). Während unserer Ausflüge sind wir an einigen Hotels vorbei gekommen, die ebenfalls zur Wahl standen. Dabei haben wir festgestellt, dass wir uns allein schon von der Lage für das richtige Hotel entschieden haben. Bei einem künftigen Aufenthalt in Miami würden wir auf jeden Fall dieses Hotel wieder buchen. Mehr

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Ocean Drive. D.h. die LAge ist gut allerdings ist es sehr lange sehr Laut im Zimmer (besser etwas Nördlich wohnen und den Ocean Drive besuchen). Der teuer erkaufte Meerblick im angeblichen Luxuszimmer hält nicht was die Angaben versprechen. Der Meerblick war sehr beschränkt und das Möbelar der Zimmer war alt. D.h der Lack bröckelt […] an den Schränken,... ab und das Bett war unbequem. Hier sollten mal die Matratzen getauscht werden. Zum Hotelservice kann man nur schlecht sagen. Es wird an der Rezeption (die ebenfalls schon sehr verschlissen aussieht) wird nicht mal gegrüßt wenn man direkt das Hotel betritt. Das sind wir von den USA anders gewohnt. Das Frühstück - Kaffe, Orangensaft, Bagel mit zwei verschiedenen Marmeladen, einem süßem Stückchen und Kellogs. Mehr gab es nicht. Das können alle anderen besser. Mich wundert wie das Hotel bisher eine so gute Bewertung hat. Mehr

Die Zimmer sind riesig, sauber, gepflegt und das Personal ist freundlich und unkompliziert. Für den Strand stehen Strandtücher und Klappstühle zur Verfügung, welche an der Rezeption gratis bezogen werden können. Wer Lärmempfindlich ist sollte kein Hotel direkt am Oceandrive buchen.

Das Hotel hat ja zwiespätlige Beurteilungen. Also bin ich auch mit entsprechend niedrigen Erwartungen hingefahren. "Wir sind ja sowieso nur zum Schlafen da". Eigentlich war das für 3* alles ok, gut gedacht, im Zimmer neue Böden etc, Bad neu renoviert. Aber alles entweder wackelig oder schief (Handtuchhalter, Duschhähne, Lampen etc). Waschbecken sehr […] hoch (und ich bin kein Zwerg). Austattungsmäßig alles da. Fön, TV, Tel., Minibar, Safe. Der stand aber nur rum, war nicht befestigt!!! Also vorsichtshalber prüfen! Aber der Preis war für Miami Beach und die Zeit (Hochsaison) völlig ok, somit passte auch das Hotel. (Bis auf das Gästebett, aber da hat keiner drin geschlafen). Allerdings sehr laut, da jeden Abend Lifemusik. An Ohropax denken oder mitfeiern! Nett gestalteter kleiner Innenhof. Mehr

Waren für 3 Nächte in Miami Beach. Hotel ist in passablem Zustand und wird gut überwacht. Zimmer war sehr sauber, mit herzigem Bad (Mosaiksteine) und sehr grosszügig. Auswahl am Morgenbuffet nicht sehr gross. Top Lage da gerade am Ocean Drive - Strand, Bars, Restaurants und Partymöglichkeiten unmittelbar vor der Haustüre.

Die Junior Suite bietet sehr grosszügige Platzverhältnisse. Die zwei Räume sind ausgestattet mit einer Bar mit Kühlschrank und Spühltrog, einem TV Sofa und einem Arbeitstisch. Im Schlafbereich steht ein grosses Bett. Die Dusche ist grosszügig. Keine Badewanne. Wer allerdings vor Mitternacht zu Bett gehen will, sollte nicht ein Hotel am Oceandrive wählen. […] (Musik und Leute) Mehr

Das Hotel Ocean liegt direkt am Ocean Drive. Der Zugang ist jedoch nur über eine Treppe, inmitten zweier Restaurants möglich. Der Empfang war unfreundlich und Informationen zB zum Frühstück erhielten wir nicht. Das Zimmer "Deluxe City view" war klein und der Blick in den Innenhof direkt an eine Hauswand. Das Badezimmer war gross aber nur sehr spärlich […] eingerichtet. Das Frühstücksbuffet war in einem stinkigen Teil eines Restaurantes aufgebaut, womit man wohl lieber draussen essen wird. Zudem ist "Buffet" übertrieben, so dass wir beschlossen haben unser Frühstück woanders einzunehmen. Meines Erachtens hat dieses Hotel keine 4 Sterne verdient und ich würde es auf keinen Fall weiterempfehlen. Mehr

Das Hotel ist sehr empfehlenswert für Leute, welche an zentral(st)er Lage DEN Fun-Urlaub in Miami South Beach verbringen wollen. Ruhe suchende Feriengäste schauen sich lieber woanders um - an den Ocean Drive geht man nicht, um eine erholsame "Kugel zu schieben". Es gibt wesentlich ruhigere Stätten in Miami Beach. Das Hotel war erstaunlich sauber und […] flächenmässig sehr grosszügig - sei es für eine Junior Suite, sei es für einen Two Bedded Room. Service- und alle übrigen Hotelangestellten sind freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Empfang ist 24 Std. täglich besetzt und kann jederzeit bei Bedarf beansprucht werden. Der Zimmerservice ist täglich "on tour", auch Sonntags. Das Restaurant beim Hotel (Bella Roma) bietet empfehlenswerte italienische Küche an, welche preislich auch vernünftig daher kommt - sehr empfehlenswert: "Focaccia al rosmarino" :-) Mehr

Direkt am Ocean Drive im Art Deco District, nette Atmosphäre, zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Schritte. Alles in allem ein toller Aufenthalt.

it was the direst hotel i have ever stayed at .There were bugs in the lights bars of soap in the shower, the shower didnt work(either hot or cold) ,black mold around the tub, a really bad musty smell.and if all the other local hotels werent booked would of relocted to another.

The only problem with this hotel is the possibillity to park your car.

At first glance, the hotel is very nice. The rooms are very spacious and the interior is nice and complete. There are a few things you should know own before you decide to book this hotel. The most notable thing is that the hotel is situated above an Italian restaurant that has live music scene evenings per week. The performance is from 7 until 11, […] if you want to get some sleep before 11 you can forget about it. That won't be possible, the volume of the live performance is just too loud. The room is was supposed to have a bath, ours was equipped with only a (moldy) shower. A quick study of the floor plan showed us only one room per floor has a bath. The continental breakfast was kinda disappointing. No fresh ingredients, only bagles with cheese spread or jelly. The breakfast area (situated in the Italian restaurant) smelled of sewage. Eating breakfast there was virtually impossible. Pros: - nice location at the beach - spacious rooms with a nice interior - friendly staff Cons: - loud music in the evening - no bath, mold in the shower - meager breakfast, breakfast area smelled of sewage - flimsy lock on the rooms Mehr

This was my worst hotels.com experience by far! The hotel looks nothing like the pictures. There was a HORRIBLE smell, roaches, and after numerous complaints they gave me a can of air freshener and would not move our room. Thank GOD I only booked it for one night.

This is a very nice hotel on Ocean Drive, right across from the beach and in the middle of it all. At the same time it is small, with a very friendly staff and a little withdrawn from the drive, so you are not bothered by the noise when you want to relax. (We had a room at the back). Only minor drawback: WIFI (which is free) did not work in room, only […] outside or in the lobby. R Highly recommended. Mehr

The balcony could use a hose down and furniture, the shower tiles had mold and the sprayer was at an odd angle and sprayed at one setting...very hard! The pictures displayed were a bit misleading but overall the room was livable for the four day stay that I booked it for.

The room was suppose to have an ocean view. The room actually had a view on the wall of the next building. We had asked for a quiet room and was told it was. However, the room was right next to the elevator and was very noisy. There was no light bulb in the bedside. The mattress was very uncomfortable.Trip Advisor has actual photos from customers which […] are a fair representation of the Hotel Ocean. I would definitely not recommend this hotel. Mehr

I spent Spring Break at Hotel Ocean and was very pleased. I was a bit wary before arrival since their website wasn't very interactive but I was not disappointed. The location was fantastic right by the ocean. The complementary bikes were a total plus! So much fun riding down the beach. The Italian Restaurant in front of the hotel had good food, priced […] like anything else along Ocean Drive, and we enjoyed the DJ playing latin/hip hop music every afternoon and the flamenco band/dancer in the evening. Mehr

Love this place. Every room is different, a lttle shabby but immaculately clean and welcoming. Nice little Italian restaurant in the courtyard with a great wine selection and knowledgeable staff. Right near the beach too. If you are not too stuffy you will love it too.

We found this hotel to be a lovely renovated place. Loved the quirky setup as only a historic building renovation will produce. The restaurant out front (outside, on the sidewalk) has a wonderful flamenco-type guitar duo with a female dancer. When checking in initially I thought I wasn't in the mood for this music, but we ate here anyway and it ws wonderful […] - both food and music. We really enjoyed it. The only complaint is that the shower did not have a ledge for soap, which was a small inconvenience. Also, all the staff from check-in desk to cleaners to breakfast staff was friendly, professional and proactive. Great place! Mehr

if you want to sleep before 11pm don't stay in the hotel, the music very loud, they stop at 11;00. we stayed 2 nights, the cleaning crew forgot to clean our room, we came from a tour we were out from 9 am cameback 5 pm, our room was not clean.

Great location and excellent helpful staff; I arrived very early and they were kind enough to take care of all my bags (and friends bags) for the day. The services was excellent. The comfort of the room was good, and the cleanliness was good also. The neighborhood and location are excellent. The only aspects to improve on would be the bed comfort as […] well as the tub cleanliness. I will stay here again though and recommend it to others. Great staff and cool boutique like hotel!!! Mehr

Hotel Ocean, despite its very amazing location, needs some upgrades: 1.The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The amount money charging per of night of stay should justify the hotel to replace the beds. 2. Bathroom supplies don't get refilled. Again, these are basic things that are expected from a hotel that charges over a large amount per night. 3. […] Music wasn't as loud as we read in other reviews. City view rooms do not have a problem with the volume of the music. Mehr

Great location in the heart of SOBE on Ocean Drive. Great room for the price. Lots of space. Clean comfy sheets. Big bathroom. Could use a better bed (too springy) and bathroom tiles needs a little bleach and scrubbing. But overall it's a great hotel for the price.

I stayed here at the end of January 2012 and the basic room was just okay. Its a well used and tired hotel, that could uses some renovations. NO doors are square, they are all out of shape. The bathroom door doesn't close. The water pressure in the shower is not much more than a drip. The furniture looks like it came from a used furniture store or off […] the street. I stayed in Key West after this hotel, and for the same price, stayed in a very nice hotel, newly renovated and clean. Since this hotel is in the heart of South Beach, I can only presume that they can get away with any condition, since the turnover is so great. Definitely consider other options to this hotel. Mehr

Besides the terrific location, everything about this hotel was disappointing. Our room was sparsely furnished. It didn't offer free internet as advertised. The furnishings in the room weren't as nice as the photos. The most disappointing part of our stay was the loud music that played in the courtyard until 2 am.

Great location and a friendly, helpful staff. We were upgraded to a large room with an ocean view. We would definitely stay at Hotel Ocean again.

We were switched to the sister hotel, Breakwater. Great location,room & staff. If we go to South Beach again this is were we would stay.

We loved our room, we loved being near the beach...and even enjoyed being near all the action. But the restaurant that is downstairs starts playing music very loud very early to attract guests for that night...but if you are ready to be up and out of bed at 10 AM then this place will work well for you.

We stayed in Hotel Ocean on South Miami Beach on December 30th. If you want to be in the middle of action....THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! The hotel is great, the area is full speed action,a s long as you can keep up. I'd highly recommend this hotel and area if you love to watch people and just ahng out in a great area, but if you want a quiet spot to relax, […] South Beach isn't for you. Mehr

We paid a premium for a deluxe city-view hotel with a balcony and a Queen bed which was the description provided by hotels.com. What we got was a double bed that our feet hung off of, no balcony at all (the hotel has none) and our "deluxe city view" was of the second level of a parking garage. The staff were wonderful, the hotel quiet (even on New years […] Eve), the locaiton great and the breakfast very good. The hotel was clean and well-maintained - however the amentities were not as printed out on my booking confirmation. The issue lies more with hotels.com than with the Hotel Ocean. Mehr

that was my ratings on Water Break hotel not Ocean, when we arrived Ocean they told us that we have been upgraded to Water Break.. we entered Water Break, we liked the room but bad location above the bar and disco so we asked them to change it with a backside room with no noise, they did . we woke up next morning to have our included breakfast in our […] booking with Ocean hotel, the waiter told us that they can't offer it here we have to go to Ocean , we talked to manager , he wanted us to give him the voucher from Ocean, Ocean didn't give us any voucher, I showed him our booking with hotels.com, he didn't accepted, he was too impolite , although the night before we discussed this with the receptionist and she told us that she wrote a note already in the system that breakfast is included, i told the manager to check the system he said theres nothing, then he called another manager who was even more impolite and looking at us as aliens and that he can't understand our language Mehr

Nice large! Rooms- we loved the location!

Was in SOBE for business and needed an inexpensive hotel close to work. This hotel has a small and unattractive lobby. My room however, was HUGE, poorly decorated and very clean. Clean is key in SOBE. The real down side was the loud music in front of the hotel. Service was OK. Overall, I'd say my experience was spotty. The hotel fit the bill and if […] it hadn't been for the music... I probably wouldn't have had much to say at all. Mehr

I would like to mention that everything was excellent and I was very happy but staff at the frontdesk don't have any professional manners or education . Very poor !!! Hotel restaurant downstairs has the best service in town. Very impressive !!!!!

Excited to be on Miami Beech in a hotel with an ocean view. Well, the view was a small window by the door that viewed a sliver of Ocean drive, no water of the ocean could be seen. Upon arriving, things were a bit concerning when the front desk had numerous chips of black paint missing. Room key was attached to a non-working electronic room key card. […] Went to the room and there were two handles and unclear which one worked. Thr door was unlocked when entering and seemed bright with fresh white paint on the walls and a new looking hardwood floor. Well, the paint was also on the light switch, the electric sockets, the window frame and the bath mirror. Room was clean and bed was OK. VERY thin comforter, but ok for Miami. Real excitement began when returning from a long day at the convention center and the restaurant had a full outdoor seating area with a live band. Went to my room and the music was remarkably loud - louder than I would have my TV under normal situations. It wasn't until 1130 that the crooning guitarist put away his instrument. This repeated on Sunday and Monday nights..... To add to the frustration, the shower had mold on the caulk around the tub. Otherwise clean. However, the handle to the shower was missing and you had to turn the smooth surface dial that had originally held a handle. The knob could turn endlessly in either direction with one area that would be off (with no marking). So, morning showers were a game of figuuring out how to make the shower hot and then how to turn it off.... Overall, a clean hotel that was on Ocean drive, but renovations by someone with minimal interest in quality or detail. Don't plan to stay here if you want a quite room before 1130PM.... I'd look elsewhere next time, particularly for the price. Mehr

Love the location and hotel for the price! Right across from the beach. Breakfast needs improvement though. Shopping and more reasonable price restaurants are on the street right behind the hotel. Try Puerto Sagua's daily special while you are there. Loved the oxtail stew!

Enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ocean. Very friendly staff, great pricing for the awesome location. Nightly live music, great guitar, dancing and food. Will be back to this HOT spot.
