Ideal for stopover in Miami Beach

The hotel is ideal for a stopover in Miami Beach, offers all sights and the essential in restaurants in walking distance and has a partyshuttle, and (really important!) A shuttle to the airport. For a longer stay are the romos and the bathroom too small. read more

The hotel is directly in the center the highlifes of Miami in collins street. The hotel area is on three building distributed we were around building the bar maxines with live music and restaurant. (24 hours open) Parking spaces rare, valet parking for 32 Dollar, or in the area a parking garage search. Shuttle bus to own beachbeteich with two loungers in the price included as well as a complimentary airport shuttle. Also in a partypoolszene nearby free shuttle bus drinks in the bar per cocktail etwa 10 Euro. Oceandrive in etwa 10 minutes away by foot. Absolute ausgehgegend. As ... was the bar. Room to the pool quiet however the air conditioning direct next to the bed and noisy. A complaint, clogged toilet was within 10 minutes constantly settle, even though late in the evening. Furniture and beds good. General atmosphere in the hallway about musty. Rooms are after weekday different expensive the cheapest on tuesday 150 Dollar included taxes. read more

Definitely not as a family to this hotel travel. It is good for partyfreudige 20 -40-year-old, people on business trip passing through, gladly a couple more people at the bar get to know, etc. The Walls in the main building are so thin, that you always think, there is someone in the room. They gladly times loudly in the hallway each time when the people in the morning at 3 o'clock fully in room lurch. That is not bad, as long as the know. If you in Miami a quiet Sphere will, I am sure this is not the hotel ... for you. Our room was very small, you have those, with traveling and know well, else can you in such a small room very annoying (a must in the hallway between the two beds, so that the other the bathroom is, etc.). The hotel lies in a very good environment on Collins avenue, drug stores right nearby, as well as the Lincoln Road mall, the Ocean Drive is only 3 blocks away, there is a Minishuttle, the a in any case at various popular points can, as well as the Raleigh, the Ritz Plaza and the Ritz Carlton, as well as the Delano in the same block on the other side of the road. The hotels are very cool a or eight drinks there at the bar or at the pool bar evenings to take. On the Rooftop -pool prevails Jersey shore. The peer surely once very funny, but not for a European taste. There is still the bamboo -pool, right between main building and Maxine and is very nice and above all quiet, but in the afternoon especially very shady. The sea is unfortunately not at all the, which the pictures a promised. A massive Refinery makes a massive noise and a huge hose, the something from the sea raussaugt, is situated in the area of the Catalina hotels. The loungers are old shaky things, the umbrella costs 15 Dollar extra, the beach section there is not really nice. In short: nice for a American party, the in the direction Jersey shore is. But if you in this area from Miami stay, nothing is better for a comparable price find. I would not again go there. read more

Service was rather poor, and the reception staff was not very friendly or helpful. Our room was right next to the bar/club area. We had to go through it to go to sleep, and did not feel very safe at all. Also, we could hear the loud disco music till very late in the morning, and nothing could be done about it even after we complained. The major plus: location is excellent and the price affordable. read more

Had the hotel to our ship -stay visited. The hotel stretches over 3 building, we were over the 24 hours Bistro- however didn't bother me. Our rooms were not to the street, thus we took the noise our floor true. The course in our building are very dark and Duftaromareich. Nevertheless was regularly cleaned and we had only a couple of minutes footpath to the beach, the beach chairs were free of charge-a sun screen costs 15$. Supermarkets, as well as other shops are to reach on foot. Sometimes then came the way back to the hotel as' a world ... trip before, but it was really limited-) read more

We had from our voluntary verher hotel called and we were told, that the bus every 2 hours. Unfortunately, it was not.

    the rooms are a bad joke. In the middle there is also a bed. This bed fills almost the whole room from. On the bed hung a red lamp. Thus was the room in a beautiful red light illuminates. That's how I imagine a brothel room. Opposite from the bed there was a glass shelf appropriate. This rule is so close to the bed, that you could only with trouble in the past can. The easiest way to the windows of the bed. Room for two suitcases is not really available. I don't know, if you have everything in this bed has, but we need either very many or have been very heavy people. I have never stayed in such a roll. That was just rude. Because of our short stay and not really friendly staff I appeal to the next guest left. Such a bed is unacceptable. As you get at a motel a $50$ better bed and even more in the room. The bathroom is also small, the cleanliness is OK, but for the price also a joke.

    the staff at the front desk was really short and did no good impression. We could not tell us immediately, where our room is located. We were given the small number of rooms a bit surprised. At the bar will the friendliness anyway not really written very big. Otherwise there's not much to staff say, there one otherwise no contact with staff of the hotel.

    The location is very to complain about. To the beach you have to a few Minute and about 5 to 10 minutes you are at the ocean drive. Because the hotel at the end of the shopping street is you only straight ahead go and get lots of shops and restaurants.

Pure party Hotel 102 and 103 rooms definitely avoid it because that is precisely when it comes to the rooms and the public toilet all night life there again. Party every evening in the lobby until two hours. The rooms are not separated from the lobby so the music was still very good at the end of the course can hear. Front desk not helpful and unfriendly with complaints about constant knocking at the door of the night life is just hung up. Bell boys were very friendly and helpful. Beds were clean and very comfortable. Trips can be booked ... directly in the hotel. Free shuttle service to the airport. For a party vacation I think this is a very good hotel there it with the surrounding discos has special agreements. For relaxing breaks after touring or rather unsuitable. read more

We stayed one night at the Catalina before taking cruise. The room was not very large, and the bed was great, the bathroom mini. But everything is acceptable. The location is very good. The pool at the top of the hotel are ok and the sun beds are comfortable. The beach chairs at the beach were available free of charge, for an umbrella on the beach you would pay 5 USD. The staff was nice and helpful. At night you can from the restaurant very good for people watching on Collins Ave. Watch or simply stroll along. Parking (valet only) ... cost 32 USD/day. But we were on a Sparcoupon for the hotel, we sum with 35 euro per person and night unfavorable reviews. read more

The hotel is in the entrance area a attempt to Art Deco, which is not so bad, it is. Stylish decorated and relatively trendy. For singles and and partygoers probably ok. Then in the 1 top floor in the room area starts the disaster. Extremely clairaudient, an attempt by stylish renovation is not really was a success. The room is extremely narrow, the bathroom has no hooks to hang up towels, no shelf space, dirty and dingy. If the elevator arrive on the same floor is the feeling of Santa-bell right next to your ear, so the sleep is not ... really an experience. The pool is from the young party people use more as food and drinking area, both outside the pool as well as. For our children it was scary, to use the pool! On our complaint was not mentioned it so we despite paid 4 nights, another hotel after the first night we moved on to. read more

Some would describe the style of the hotel than eclectic, but it was a great maze of different styles. surface very nicely furnished, but the crumbling plaster in all corners and edges. View: wall of the adjacent building. Very nasty was the micro-bathroom. The tiles were loose everywhere. Since we only stayed 2 nights, we didn't complained, which in hindsight I regret. Totally overpriced for what you get (over $500 for two nights in a double queen room). No baby cot available. read more

The hotel offers in 3 buildings the accomodation, whereas in the Maxines club includes a restaurant and so men/women with luggage between Restaurantgästen first to fight your way through to the room. Dark hall, it was probably be fancy. The rooms are small and functional enough, the attempt to an Art level is quite poor. Bathroom is small and not enough cleaned in the shower, I only with flip flops dare. Hotel safe, TV and stereo is available, view was direction abbruchreifes house opposite. Breakfast in the surrounding restaurants. a few meters to the beach, shopping and good restaurants right ... nearby. Happy hour cocktails for free there are between 19 and 20 hours, to chill and chat with the Maxines eventually. All in all an adequate place to stay if you are looking for a place but I think not more. read more
