I almost cancelled my reservation after I read the reviews, but i´m glad I didn´t...people don´t realize South Beach Hotels are boutique properties constructed during the 1930’s...The Colony is RIGHT on the action. The staff is multilingual and very accommodating and the rooms are clean comfortable and safe. We had a great time and looking forward to returning to the... More

The hotel is nice, the staff (except for one who was a scatterbrain) was knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating, great location for the beach and everything else, offers tours in the lobby-and the ENTIRE hotel is super clean, everywhere you go, its smells as if they just cleaned 5 minutes ago no matter the time of day, rooms are nice...

Nothing wrong with this hotel. We booked through points, and when we arrived the hotel had not received our reservation . The front desk guy was very helpful and patient while we tried to see what had happened. We were able to resolve the issue, and were upgraded to a Queen room at the back of the hotel. If you... More

Rooms are very modern and clean. You can't see South Beach in tv or in a movie and NOT see this hotel in bright blue neon lights. Perfect location. The drinks are a little pricey but it is South Beach and its on Ocean Drive in the middle of it all.

I stayed at the colony on my first trip to Miami. Generally I was very pleased with the service. The location is amazing-the hotel is right across the street from the beach and in the heart of south beach. Everything is in walking distance. The hotel staff was very pleasant,helpful, and upbeat. Harold at the colony took care of me.... More

It was overlooking south beach and absolutely beautiful. One wall of windows and side windows looking down the beach and Ocean Dr. Small lobby, restaurant and bar area inside. Lots... More

I knew I wasn't getting a five star hotel when I booked one night at the Colony for $118 a night. But the photos they use on the website are of only a couple of rooms at the front of the hotel. The rest of the rooms, apparently, have a view of the alley. The room itself wasn't too bad,... More

I had some reservations prior to my visit based on the mixed reviews here on tripadvisor, but have to say I was very happy overall with my stay at the Colony. All hotels on Ocean Dr. in South Beach are pretty similar in size and feel. So I'd have to say the price point was very reasonable. Rooms were clean... More

I have realized that some people you just can't please. While this place is not a 5 star resort they don't claim to be and don't charge like they are. It was very clean and the service that we rec'd was very good. Expect about a 20 min wait to get your car from valet but they are not even... More
