I stayed for 5 days and I really liked the property and area around the hotel. It is close to the beach and walkable to most places. The room was big and clean. I liked that it had a microwave, fridge and safe.

Noce little property, however it is definitely not worth over $200 a night, this is more of an $80 place. Inside was loud, minimal handicap accessibility. Very close to ocean,dinning, and entertainment!

Not clean at all. There was hair on multiple towels. No soap in the bathroom. Dirt in drawers. The fridge froze everything no matter if I changed the temp. Location was the only good thing, and still super loud. I could also hear the person snoring in the room across the hall.

If you want to be right in the middle of the action this place is perfect for you. Two blocks from beach, one block from the main stretch of bars, etc that line the beach. The room was clean and inside the hotel it was very quiet. Outside the hotel expect to hear horns, loud music and drunk people until the 3-5AM. We had ear plugs which I would highly recommend if your goal is to sleep rather than party until the sun comes up. Overall loved this placed!

Great location, 5 minutes from the beach. The area is generally busy with tourists, but very walkable with tons of restaurants and shops. Hotel is a little outdated, but is safe and has what you need. No cable TV (antenna channels) so don’t expect to watch your favorite shows. Staff was friendly and helpful. WiFi could be better.

Good value hotel, which does “exactly what it says on the can”. It’s not trendy, and the room furnishings are old-fashioned; but everything works, the South Beach location is excellent, and the rooms are large, clean, comfortable and quiet. The Viscay provides a comfortable and reliable stay. (And remember to ask the manager for his history lesson about the 1848 revolutions.) Bear in mind this is a place to sleep rather than a full-service hotel. The front desk isn’t staffed at nights (you get a door key), so if you’re checking-in late you need to communicate your arrival time in advance so that someone is there to meet you.

For the location, this place is a gem! Comfortable, clean, and the location is amazing. Parking is tough, but that’s just a South Beach issue. Highly recommend!

The location is perfect. No amenities with this hotel. No elevator (only 2 stories) The property is older and shows its age but makes up for it in size. Huge kitchenette and room to move around. Bring a travel candle (old hotel smell)... and clorox wipes.

Decent property if you’re wanting to budget your travel expense elsewhere! Would definitely come back. The service was great. We had one little hiccup but that was all and honestly not worth mentioning. The property included a side entrance which made it Easy to slip in and out. You’re in the middle of everything and only a block from the beach, so great location! It’s a little noisy on Collins Ave, but…it’s Miami. Overall, with the price, location and service, I would recommend.

The concierge is nice and friendly. The beach is within walking distance and it is located in the art district. But we did not get to enjoy any of these. We did not feel safe to walk the streets. I was verbally assaulted by a rude lady on the steps of the hotel who was watching two guys getting arrested. Sleep was impossible the whole four nights we were there.

Adorable little hotel with a vintage vibe but totally renovated. Staff is amazing, room comfortable and with everything we needed, even beach chairs. Super well located. Even when SoBe was super busy with a horrible, loud and drunk crowd, we did not hear a sound during our sleeping hours.

Room was very clean and comfortable in a great location. Only thing that would’ve made it better was more check in hours. Our flight was delayed & didn’t arrive until 4am but we weren’t able to check in until 8am.

Five Stars!
Location! Location! Location! It was so wonderful I have to say it 3 times. I love the South Beach vibe! Hotel staff were on point. The bed was very comfortable, only downside was the sheet was too short like it was a full size on a queen size bed. Only other downside was because of Covid the hotel doesn’t want tables and chairs on their porch as other hotels do have chairs and tables and don’t have a restaurant on site. Overall I enjoyed my stay and will definitely return to Viscay Hotel. 💚

This property is old school “art deco”.Two floors on the second floor all LARGE efficiency’s kitchens including micro, coffee pots, sink, large fridge..work desk, lots of seating. My room was Quiet, clean and I liked the very friendly staff. Be aware that you need to call or respond to their texts so someone is able to check you in. You will let yourself in an out of the door at times. Safe feeling. I enjoyed the space. Park at for 20 a night at 7th or 13th Street garages. (3 blocks away) Its not fancy...but not crazy expensive either.

This place is a busy part of South Beach. I liked having an affoyplace in the back (studio). I loved the location but any place around there is loud with the cars driving by. I forgot a charger and the staff went the extra mile getting it to me. It is also very private with a side entrance which I liked. Let me check in early, too! Would book again.

I booked this hotel initially with standard room for 2 adults but later on we changed the reservation and upgraded to a larger room that can accommodate 4 people due to change in our plan. The room we upgraded shows occupancy for 5 people. We were not informed that we need to pay extra when we checked in but next day, we were told that room is only for 2 adults and since we are 4 adults, we need to pay extra. I explained them that when we booked the room occupancy showed us 5 people and that's the reason I booked a larger room compare to their standard room. I was ok to pay extra and told them , since we had plans we need to drive to key west today. We can resolve this when we are back in the evening but the way situation was handled was very disappointing. I told them to check us out and we will take another hotel somewhere else. Front desk and manager didn't cooperate and wasn't ready to refund either. The only way we can leave the hotel by paying extra for 2 adults on top of what we paid already to upgrade from standard room. I understand that hotels have policy and we made an error by not changing the original reservation by adding extra people but if manager would have a bit more sympathy towards the situation and cooperated we would have a good stay. Our time was wasted, we were not treated properly and later on they start looking for reasons to get extra money from us. They took breakfast out from our stay stating that we dont have the breakfast included.

Response from Ps on 17 Mar 2020
Reservation was made for 2 people but 4 showed up instead. After 4 people stayed the first night they did not want to pay extra for the additional 2 people. Breakfast was not included They are not honest.

Great location, very near beach, shops and restaurants etc. All accommodation in South Beach is ridiculously expensive but this is one of the more reasonable and to be honest unless you are looking for a bit of luxury this hotel has all you need. Rooms are decent size, beds comfortable and staff very helpful abd friendly, and most importantly it’s very clean. Enjoyed my stay.
