Paid $90 for what the establishment calls "A Suite". The reservation desk told us we were getting a great deal as the normal price was $160. We should have guessed. The entrance of the hotel has all the ambiance of a halfway house. Non-descript, white, narrow hallways punctuated by Luann doors at regular intervals. The 'Desk' is housed in a... More

I cannot believe this hotel has even one good review!! Even from the outside - with it's cheap sign, burned out lightbulbs, and dirty plastic patio furniture - Island House is a disgrace to Collins Ave. I booked this hotel in advance of arriving in Miami due to the positive reviews here on TripAdvisor, and I could NOT have been...

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days, and while it definitely could use some updating I was very happy here. We were within walking distance to everything, the room was clean, bed was comfy, and complimentary breakfast was a nice treat considering everything in South Beach is so much money. We would stay here again for sure!!

The Island House Beach Hotel in Miami Beach offers great service and value just two blocks from the hottest beach on the planet. Daily maid service is provided. Though the rooms and amenities are basic, if you're looking for a clean, dry place to stay while hitting the beach or partying hardy at one of the night clubs lining Washington,... More

This was a treasure!! The manager was so friendly and made you feel at home. The rooms were big and had a small kitchen. The beds were a little hard, but the towels were plush and they had extra beach towels and chairs to use for the beach that was only a block and a half away( amazing beach)! The... More

Please I beg of you, DO NOT stay at this hotel. We booked here (only because of no availability due to WMC and ULTRA) and were sent a complete confirmation then the following morning when my card wasn't charged, I decided to call up and was told that I did not have a room.

My husband booked the hotel for one night before our cruise departure, which happened to be my birthday. We were looking for affordable to splurge in other areas of the trip so I braced myself for the 2.5 star rating. We're not brats; we try to find good deals on Priceline, but found none for South Beach. It would not... More

We wanted to stay in Miami Beach, but for some festival that was going on at that time all the hotel rates were over 350 dlls a night, even for this below average hotel we paid a very high rate. The hotel its on a good location, but the rooms look very old. The looks of the hotel are NOT... More

Quite simply the hotel is in hospitality business but they don't understand what is customer service. I booked through Expedia and owner very very rudely denied accommodating me for a week later than I booked as I had snow storm in Chicago. On top of this they charged a hefty $100 for anything I would like to do : change... More
