Island House in Miami Strand

Het hotel ligt gunstig nabij boulevard en strand. De kamer was aan renovatie toe maar wel schoon.

For the price, you can't be disappointed. GREAT location, decent room, clean,, nice staff. Will definetley be back.

Like most of the other properties in the area, they are very old and small. Room was clean, decent closet and dresser space, vanity area with refrigerator. Desk clerk was very helpful. Got me by for a few days while I was in town.

Overall the hotel stay was pleasant. They have the largest pool I've seen in a hotel of this type. They also have convenient amenities, but the rooms didn't have a fridge or microwave, which I would have liked. The hotel is literally right next to Legoland, and I could hear people on the rides from my room.

Great location but don't expect it to be 5 stars.

The hotel is an older property, and the wear and tear shows in the building itself. However, the room, bedding, and towels were all clean. Staff was very friendly and willing to help. Breakfast was good - fresh fruit brought in each morning, cereals, breads, juices, coffee. The location is just a couple blocks from the beach, yet not exceptionally noisy. […] The office has beach towels and matts available for guest use at no charge. Public buses stop nearby, or you can call a taxi to get around South Beach. We mostly walked. The cab ride from the airport was about 20 minutes and about $35. This is not a spring break party hotel. It's a little out of the mainstream, and a little quieter. We stayed for two nights with another couple on a stopover to the Caribbean. I would stay here again. Lees meer

The two beds in the room had old mattresses that were as hard as a rock, no doubt due to their thin support material and plywood boards underneath! I would have been better off sleeping on the floor. Since the room's alarm clock was dysfunctional, I asked for wakeup calls each day...never got one, so the service sucks too. Convenient location, but that's […] about it...this is definitely a 2-star hotel and not worth the asking price. Look elsewhere for more desirable lodging when in SoBe. Lees meer

This is a long term non upgraded old everyting motel perhaps it was built back to 1980's, you can not believe this until you see it. there is no internet access but they told you tommorow or later you maybe have one but that never happens tommorow and repeat same stories to people. even the housekeeper did not give the soaps when I was there at my second […] day. also you can not sleep well at night since too much noise from the street and the old window air condition. anyway,I wish I did not choose this one.

The hotel service was good. Very nice people. The hotel itself was clean but boy did it need an upgrade! Very close to the action, which was great. Why I wouldn't recommend it is because there were "Ladys of the Evening" present. We thought it was pretty hilarious, but lots of people wouldn't.

The room was large and comfortable, but a little ragtag. The carpet was worn and badly stained, but given its proximity to the beach, it's not surprising. The staff was pleasant and escorted us to our room. We were too busy to try the full buffet.

Ricky & Madeline greeted us and made us feel comfortable. It's a small hotel but very cozy and even had towels, umbrellas, and chairs to use on the beach which is 1 block away. For the price it was a great deal. I would stay there again.

It was the worse hotel I've ever been to in my life. The writing tablet in the room included that it was an "Adult" hotel. If I knew that I would've never took my children there. It looks like a place where prostitution & drug transactions would take place. None of the staff where's uniforms or even name badges & there were roaches in my room.

I stayed here during Miami Carnival. It's not as fancy and luxurious as the other hotels but it was just what I needed. It was laid back and simple. The room was spacious and the free breakfast was decent. The staff was humble as well. There wasn't any parking or pool, but there was a lot and the beach was block away. Everything was only walking distance. […] Most of the time I was outside enjoying South Beach. It felt like a private house or dorm rather than a hotel which I loved. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Lees meer

THE BAD: This place is like a dirty youth hostel. Our room had two beds, each with an uncomfortable spring mattress. Sheets were rough. There was a burn on the floor from an iron. The room between the main living area and the bathroom smelled like body odor. There's no parking, and nearby lots are expensive or sometimes full. THE GOOD: Great location. […] Staff was friendly enough. Breakfast was available in the morning (coffee and the usual free breakfast stuff). OVERALL: Avoid this place if you can. I knew I was slumming it a bit when I booked, but I couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed every time I came back to my room. I'm getting itchy right now just thinking about it. Lees meer

The location of the hotel is great. Right off of Collins and its near the beach, bars and clubs. You are right in the middle of South Beach. For the price of the room you can't beat the location. The rooms are well kept and clean. AC works great and hot water anytime.

My Boyfriend and I stood one night on Sunday beacuse we were leaving for a cruise on Monday. The location was great, everything was in walking distance. The man at the front desk was very nice and we only paid about $15 for our cab ride to the Port Of Miami the next day!!! It's kind of dated and from the outside kinda looked like a shack.... But I would […] stay there again for one night, no more than a weekend. If your looking for a place to stay for a week or so maybe you might wont something more classy. Overall I did like the place Lees meer

I was a little sceptical about this place from the reviews, but as i was in the taxi on the way i realised that the area was well maintained and looked okay. The Hotel staff were very helpful and nice the entire stay, although we did wake the manager up with our early check out, but he was fine with that. our room was on the ground floor so the lack […] of elevator did not bother us, the room was spacious, with separate vanity area and decent en suite, Room service were in every day and breakfast was always available in the morning 9-10am i think, although we missed that and the manager offered us coffee on our way out. This hotel is literally just a 1 minute walk from the beach, out the main door, down a walkway across the little, road and you are on the path to the beach. there are other hotels on the road parallel to the beach but i cant help but think you would over pay. I would definitely stay again. Lees meer

Ricky was great!!! Stayed one night before my cruise and is was a good price. Shower pressure was bad but everything else was fine.

The service was great. The manager was very helpful and accommodated us accordingly. Definitely will use them next year for our Youth event next year on south beach.

We stayed only one night there and it is the worst experience ever. It is dirty and uncomfortable. I would not recommend anybody to stay there!!!

The Island Hotel is nothing fancy but is great if you're looking for a reasonably priced hotel that is close to everything in South Beach. Perfect for short stays before heading out on a cruise.

Well the hotel staff was some of the nicest people I have ever meet however their hotel...... Well I didn't feel safe there we could hear everything especially and barely dressed women standing at the entrance of the hotel sayin" hey baby" suggestively to all the men who walked by. Maybe this a miami thing or maybe (probably) she was a hooker. The mattresses […] were very old as was the carpet and the towels and to top it off the maid walked into our room 5wice without knocking. Lees meer

This is one of the Art Deco hotels in South beach, Miami. Convient to bus and restaurants. It is an older hotel and is clean and has a very ample continental breakfast. Kitchen was available to guests. Friendly service and rapid response to any needs. We used the hop on and off bus to see the city. A very young crowd in this beach area the average age […] is 37. We, as senior citizens, felt safe in this devirse area. Late night noise on the streets but did not seem to be an issue. Lees meer

great location, its not a 5 star hotel..but i u want location and the hotel service is great..very friendly. for the price and location I would stay there again!

Our room was spacious, slept 4 easily. (1 Queen, 1 King) Had a separate dressing area, large closet, average bathroom, and a small kitchen area (room for a small table). We stayed in Feb. & the air conditioning worked well (at least in our room). Not sure how comfortable it would be in the summer. If you are a picky person as far as everything being […] updated, then you will be disappointed. If you want basic sleeping accommodations at a reasonable price in the BEST location, you will be pleased. Parking is difficult. We did street & garage. I will say... you will be surprised what a great breakfast they have here. A whole hotel room filled with cereal, bread, pastries, fruit, coffee, tea, granola bars etc. Also have a full kitchen and some eggs & bacon in the fridge. Regarding a pool, there is not one... but who really needs it when the ocean is one block away. AN ADDITIONAL REVIEW PER, MY HUSBAND: I am easy going & not "snooty" when it comes to "newness" but one thing I am is a stickler on; BUGS. (bugs as in roaches and bedbugs) I do a VERY THOROUGH job investigating nooks & crannies and everywhere you can think of, new hotels, old hotels ... nothing gets by me. I'll even get up in the middle of the night on our 1st nights stay and quickly turn all the lights on to check .. NO live bugs where found. I was upset about finding a small DEAD roach under the sink cupboard.... but the room passed all other [bug] tests. The roach being dead and no 'live' bugs found during our stay indicated that they spray [apparently regularly] and the coast was clear... I wasn't forced to sleep in the car. Lees meer

The hotel is old and outdated, but is well maintained. My room was freshly painted,except for the baseboards and a door which need painting. The public areeas of the building also appear to be freshly painted. My room and the public areas were clean. Staff seems to be doing the best they can with an old bilding in need of modernizing. My room had enough […] towels to meet my needs. Hot and cold water pressure were good. The building has smoke detectors, but no sprinkers. The property is well lighted both inside and out. My room is located on the first floor. I could not use my cell phone in my room unless I stood right by the window. However, my cell phone did work on the second floor. The continental breakfast was plentiful with coffee,tea,juice,hot and cold cereal,bread,muffins,bagels, fresh fruit,etc. The daytime desk manager,Rick,was friendly and accommodating. At check-in,the clerk took an imprint of my credit card and asked me to sign the receipt.There were no additional charges during my stay, so I made it a point to ask for the receipt. He drew a line through the amount column and gave me the original and kept the copy. This hotel is good for budget conscious traveler. Lees meer

Great place to stay at, walking distance to everything on south beach. extremely friendly staff. great price.

The hotel looked so old from the outside that we were afraid about what to expect but the room was very clean and the staff was very helpful. But above all the location was great. Few minutes walks to Spanish Way, Lincoln Ave and South Beach. Considering the money we paid we would definetly stay there again

Rooms with value for money... Great location, friendly staff, big rooms, relaxed atmosphere, simple but okay breakfast. The hotel needs a brush up but if you come for the beach, the party, the food and shopping then it's quite okay.

We stay in Island House for thanks givins holiday. The hotel is an 2 stars hotel, it´s old, but clean, is true tha need a renovation, but also it´s tru the people have clean and painting o tryin to keep it ok. The employees were attents and everityme were there for us requires. In the hotel they gave us towells and beach chairs, this is important for […] my. If you want a 5 stars hotel this is not your place, but if you want one place to stay close the beach, and where you can walk safetily in the night, where you can take a walk at any time and no spend a lot of money, I think this is your place. Alsa have including breakfas, (it´s a little basic but enough to meet your hungry in the mornig. FInaly you have parking in front at half block you can leave your car for 20 buck the whole day enter and exit all times you want! Bests, Pablo. Lees meer

The hotel is really basic and the room small, but this is all expected for the price you're paying in such a great location. Against expectations, the manager was super nice, the room was clean and the breakfast was great and abundant. This is a great place for the price, at a superb location in Miami Beach.

Cute deco style old hotel! Our room was small & a bit noisy, but exactly what we needed & the bed was super comfy! W/in a short walk to the beach & Lincoln street shopping & eating! Ricky was great & VERY accomodating! We checked in early/before our room was ready, but Ricky let us change for the beach in another room & set us up with beach chairs, […] an unbrella & beach towels!! What a bonus!! We spent the day at the beach & when we came back he had our bags in our room ready to go! He gave us some fantastic ideas for dinner - just a short walk to Lincoln...definately where all the action is! We checked out the next morning and once again he set us up for a day at the beach & let us come back to shower before our late evening flight! We will stay again & would recommend to friends!

I was very pleased with the overall experience with Island House. The room was very clean and the Manager was very accommodating; every request we made was handled very promptly and very cordially. It's refreshing to still be able to enjoy old fashioned hospitality while also enjoyed the glitz of South Beach

The hotel had a great location on Collins Ave just south of Espanola Way but the hotel was old. The hallways were old and the bathroom tub was scratched and very old and the fixtures were all yellow from there age. The room was also very small. The staff was great though and I mean if you are looking for a place just to crash (I was with my girlfriend […] so honestly I was a bit embarrased of the place) as a single bachelor in south beach maybe it would work Lees meer

The hotel itself expect for the price and location was great that you could access difff places you want to go.

Great place for a group of buddies to crash in South Beach. However, I wouldn't recommend this for families or anyone used to high-end customer service. I had a great time and the location was excellent.

Great place to stay...but no parking with hotel. We just lucked up and got a parking meter right across from hotel. After midnight no charge.

Literally 2 mins away from the beach, big room, very clean and comfortable. Super breakfast with a wide selection of items (bagels, muffins, cereals, eggs, bread, juice and other things.) Would defo recommend this place as the staff were very helpful and they also provided us with beach towels. We also left our luggage there for half day and we didn't […] have to pay anything! Lees meer

The hotel is not fancy but if you're looking for a great place to stay on a budget and you want to be in the center of it all, then this is your place. It's clean and comfortable. I have no complaints about the room except there are no curtains, just blinds, on the windows. So, in our room there was light coming through from the other hotel lights at […] night, but not a big deal. And for some reason I heard slamming doors all night one night. The hotel staff was very nice. The continental breakfast was plenty. And the hotel also offers beach chairs and beach towels. The hotel is not RIGHT ON the beach. You walk across the road, through the alley, then across Ocean Drive to get to the beach. Very easy and safe walk. I would stay here again if I was on a tight budget. Lees meer

My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights. It was an enjoyable experience and we had no complaints. The staff was courteous and helpful. The breakfast was exceptional. The location was convenient and quiet. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel also provided umbrellas and chairs for the beach. I would certainly recommend Island House to other  […] people. Lees meer

Considering it's an old hotel,I had a great stay as per always,Ricky (Manager)was his old self,always with a smile,and ready to assist you with whatever your needs,also Madeline (house keeping) just the sami a broad smile every time.

This hotel is an older hotel with many of the original art deco features from the 30's & 40's, including the pull-chain light in the main room. We entered the room looking for the wall switch only to find the pull chain hanging from the ceiling. However, the room was very clean, the bathroom with what looked like a new shower curtain, very clean - the […] bed, sheets, cover - very clean. Other reviews indicated free beach towels, etc. They had it all. Free, clean, large beach towels, beach mats, umbrellas, snorkle and even a boogie board. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Great location. For those interested in a clean room in which to sleep you cannot go wrong. If you are looking for other amenities, go somewhere else and pay more money. If you are happy to get what you pay for, then you will be very happy with this choice. Lees meer

The Front office person was really nice and welcoming. The description of the room online is not what we were expecting. Although it was not dirty it did not meet my expectation of being clean. For the price and time in which I book the room (3 days before check-in) it was not bad. I was not expecting it to be plush but it did not really meet my expectations. […] It is in a pretty good location. Close to most things. If I were in a bind I could consider staying again but this would not be my first choice. Overall I give it a 3.5 Lees meer

Great room for the money.

This hotel was basic at a great location close to the beach and within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. Great breakfast.

been there for 5 nights, the location is great and the rooms are comfortable and clean. i wouldn't suggest it for families or a romantic vacation but its really decent for its price!
