Congress Hotel South Beach - Miami Beach

Prepare yourself for a lot of party noise but overall it's a good place to stay.

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

The hotel is smack dab in the middle of all the madness of Ocean Drive but they still manage to deliver good service. All the front desk people were very friendly and someone was always there to help. The room was very modern, clean, and accommodating. The bed was big and comfortable as well. All and all,Congress Hotel pretty much offerred everything […] they advertised on the website. The only thing that you have to worry about is parking. This hotel does not have its own lot. There are 2 pay lots within blocks of hotel. They range from a few bucks to like $20 bucks a day I believe. Also you have the option to do metered parking which is more convenient but more expensive.

Overall, the Congress was good. It was noisy (not the hotel's fault, it's just Miami). And the fold-out sofa was not great for 2 kids, but these are minor issues. The hotel was clean, and the location was terrific if you're not expecting luxury. Paula at the front desk was friendly and helpful, everything you want in a hotel staff member. We'd stay […] again.

I liked it a lot! I would go back. The only inconvenient was that the Internet never worked and they never fixed it.

Nice & pleasant staff. Room was less nice. No dresser!!! Bed was comfortable. and despite having a room fronting Ocean Dr., the noise was not a significant factor. Shower was handheld and takes getting use to. Plastic couch for old/uncomfortable. TVs may have been 19". There was a nice kitchenette with full size frig & microwave. Besides sleeping we […] spent little time in the room. Hey you're in SoBe. Don't let the rating sway you. Good location Przeczytaj więcej

I've been to South Beach and have stayed at the Park Central and now The Congress! This time I came with my girlfriend for a 3 night stay. The Congress is well worth the money!!! There are 4 buildings! When the bell boy took us to our room, the outside appearance of our building was not appealing but upon entering our room, we were astonished! SO BEAUTIFUL!! […] MODERN! PERFECT! We stayed in the Junior suite which had a kitchen(stove, fridge w/ freeze, pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc) a living room area, bathroom with a big tub and a plush bed! The room also had a balcony! The main building has a rooftop pool with a bar which we enjoyed very much! The location is PERFECT! Right in the middle of Ocean Dr!! I HIGHLY recommend staying here!

So Beach is tremendous and these refurbished hotels fun but the internet was not working, no water one morning, and you are paying a lot of money for the location. Don't forget the resort fee and expect to pay $25 per day to park.

This hotel is located on the heart of south beach on 10th & ocean right across the street from the beach and located near many restaurants and bars. if you're going to enjoy south beach and hang out this is a place to stay. the rooms are decent but you barely spend time in your room. the front desk weren't the most friendliest except the guys. if you […] stay here you wont need a car. My room also had a kitchen where i bought groceries a few blocks and made breakfast. overall you get the south beach exp. , very convenient , comfortable room with kitchen. Przeczytaj więcej

Ocean front suite overlooking ocean dr, service was okay, can be better. Prime location, room was huge, separate seating area so as able to host a few friends for drinks. Huge balcony.. Great spot, did the job for my spring break wknd

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

Terrible front desk service (plan on waiting!) and lots of hidden fees you won't find out about until you get your credit card statement. Plan on paying for someone to take you outside of the hotel to find your room (just in case you venture out to find it yourself they have conveniently locked a gate with a key code that the front desk doesn't give […] you! And don't forget the resort fee of $12.50 per day per person! Parking is $35./per day. Quickly adds up to $100 extra per night. The hotel is in a fun and rowdy neighborhood and convenient to the beach, people watching, and sobe nightlife. We went with our kids (6 and 8) for two nights and had a good time. I wouldn't go back to the same hotel after the service and fee games they played. It felt like a scam. Przeczytaj więcej

The hotel was great, the room was big with great amenities.. Close to everything south beach has to offer. Big complaint was noise. You were sleeping in a night club. But great for a spring break!

First time staying at this hotel, but have stayed in Southbeach before. You can't beat the location. The hotel was surprisingly awesome! Loved the art deco feel. The bathroom was beautiful! Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

It was great for 4 people. We loved how we were right smack dab in the middle of everything and just across from the beach. Loved even more the view from the top of the hotel pool and bar area. Def recommend this place.

The place was great, and the room was even better. While not much to look at outside, the interior was excellent (and the bathtub/shower combo was one of the best). We had noise issues and two little kids and the customer support was more than we could have ever expected. We'll definitely be back at this hotel in future visits. Right across from the […] beach, above great dining too. Przeczytaj więcej

Perfect location for enjoying SOBE's nightlife. Can be very noisy til 3am.

Incredible location , yes it's loud but it is south beach. It's why you're there. Get a room with a balcony if you can, you won't be disappointed. Almost unheard of on this strip of ocean drive.

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

no problems with the hotel specifically. the staff were helpful, cheery. everything was clean and worked well. excellent pool deck with an amazing view. great location. right in the heart of it all. south beach is not an area for those seeking peace and quiet. it is in high gear all the time. the clubs pump it out till 2am at least. i would request […] a room at the back if noise is at all an issue. the room had a kitchen and we made breakfast and snacks in it. there is a publix grocery store and a whole foods nearby - 15min walk to 5th and alton. everything is safe and clean. i took my daughters - 20 and 16. they loved it all. the beach is right across the street. i would stay there again. beware of the resort fee. the hotels are taxed by the city for use of the beach. 12.50/person per day. the hotel will provide you with beach chairs and towels in lieu of this tax but only to a max of 2 per room - regardless of how many are in the room. i diplomatically complained about it and the manager politely removed one of the resort fees from my bill. i find that raising issues in a reasonable and adult manner (anywhere i go) often yield the best results.

Overall nice place. Good location. Price was okay but could have been lower

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

The hotel was so bad we left early. There are many fees besides $35 valet that took 20+ mins. and resort charge that are a surprise upon check-in. It costs $25 if you don't return all room keys and $100 if you check out early among other things. Hotel manager was arrogant and not helpful about our room even though I had requested quiet room on reservation. […] There was loud music from restaurant below, car horns & sirens until 2am. The next day we switched rooms and was quieter, but the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on - barely a sofa bed mattress. Couch was extremely uncomfortable too. You could feel bar supporting the thin cushion on both. The bathtub faucet had a major leak, you could see crumbs at the base of cabinets, something nasty was spilled on the floor and our room wasn't vacuumed on second day. It was worth the $100 penalty to leave this hotel and stay at the Marriott. Przeczytaj więcej

They Hotel pictures didn't match the hotel. The rooms weren't very comfortable

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

The Congress was great! The room was perfect for my and my friends - it had a full kitchen which was really nice, the staff were super friendly and quick to respond to any requests. It's perfect for a simple get-a-way weekend. However - this is by no means a "luxury" hotel - which is why I gave it a 4 overall. Also - you have to walk through some SUPER […] annoying restaurants every time you leave the hotel where they harass you to get something. But I do think if I were going to miami on the cheap again I would totally be into staying there again! Przeczytaj więcej

Funny how everyone points out the noise issue. Well, duh. The Congress Hotel is a decent spot. The rooms are big with a kitchen and dishwasher. I had some issues that I pointed out to the staff upon check-out and they were very cordial and apologetic. They waived my resort fee and took care of some honor bar stuff. My main complaint was a crumby fitted […] sheet on the thin mattress that would peel up at night. One morning I awoke with my face on raw mattress. Eeew. I think that Congress is trying to do better. If you have some earplugs, give them a chance. Przeczytaj więcej

Great location staff was nice and helpful. Lots of restaurants in the area and right across from the beach on Ocean Blvd. Great walk (1 mile) to Lincoln Ave with shopping and really fantastic restaurants. I recommend both Paul's and Balan on Lincoln blvd, Lincoln Blvd is closed to traffic which makes it a great place to hang out!

Service was bad, the room I paid extra for wasn't available (I wasn't reimbursed though), the room I was put in was not clean, had no wash cloths, 1 towel, no minibar and smelled like mold! The key to my room wouldn't work and I had to continue to walk back and forth to get new ones and finally- when I called for valet to bring the car so we could leave- […] it took 30 minutes! I stay in Miami quite a bit but I will NEVER stay here again. Przeczytaj więcej

Congress Hotel South Beach, ocean front, walking distance to all varieties of entertainment, all the staff were on point. This was our fourth trip to South Beach.

PROS: Really nice beach hotel, with a great location - feet away from all the SoBe nightlife. Watch the sunrise from the beautiful rooftop pool, you will NOT be dissapointed! CONS: However, upon arrival we were surprised with whole range fees, for valet parking (only parking option), service fee (for the "complimentary" champagne at check-in), city […] fee, among others...Be prepared to spend twice as much as the booking price in extra fees if you chose this hotel. Overall the PROs outweigh the CONs of this hotel. The added fees is the price you pay for a decent, clean Ocean Dr hotel overlooking the atlantic ocean, and surrounded by top sobe restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. Przeczytaj więcej

At first we were impressed with location. Right by the beach and all the restaurants. However, it was also next to an outdoor club which played loud music till 4am. We are a young Manhattan couple who is used to NYC noise. But this was ridiculous. They also allow non guests at their tiny pool which brings in a lot of riff raff, aka Florida trashy people. […] On Saturday they brought in a house DJ at the pool that played music so loud that we left and went to the beach. Also, who still listens to House music? Oh yeah, Florida trash. Also, avoid this area in general on Ocean ave. all the restaurants serve the exact same food and haggle you to eat at their restaurant as you walk by. Very annoying. Przeczytaj więcej

Excellent, good rates, helpful staff and great location.

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

There are a ton of pros about this hotel. The location is great - literally in the middle of a ton of restaurants and bars. You can valet park but since we got in late in the evening, were leaving the next morning, and it wasn't a weekend, we parked it ourselves across the street for some minimal meter parking fee. Our room was comfortable and large […] enough with the stated amenities on the website (e.g., coffee maker, refrigerator, t.v., air conditioning, and even cooking burners). The rooftop pool and view are fantastic and really add to the appeal of staying there. Nice staff who seemed to be hard at work. The one big con about the place is a big one! I knew there was the possibility of street noise given the location, but I didn't expect to experience noise from the building itself. We must have been next to their generators or some other large machine, because throughout the night, there was a really loud rumbling noise coming from outside and in the walls. It's hard to explain, except that it can be incredibly annoying if you're a light sleeper like myself and not to mention 6 months pregnant. Since we got this room with a discount through hotels.com and our stay there was so brief, I could get over the occasional sleep disturbances. However, if I were staying there for more than one night, I'd definitely have to talk to the people at the front desk (who were all really nice and I'm guessing would have been helpful).

Great location, service, rooftop pool, across the street from the beach, with complimentary beach chairs.

This hotel is right in the middle of the action of South Beach, which is good, especially for the price. So it was a good deal but the rooms we had were overlooking an alley and parking garage which, apparently, had an industrial size/sounding fan that ran all night. I guess that's what to expect in the cheap "seats". We had requested a room not close […] to the bar/lounge, which it was. The room was roomy and clean although the tub could use a re-caulking. Folks at the front desk were helpful. There was also a fairly reasonable mini bar which included breakfast sandwiches in the refrigerator which could be heated in the in room microwave and were pretty tasty. Przeczytaj więcej

For the money - this place was great. Right on Ocean drive across from the beach. Great night life. Rooms were modern, clean. No views from most of the rooms as the hotel is a five individual 3-story buildings in a row. Hotel front desk staff could have cared less if I was standing there or not. Never got a single smile from any of them. Cleaning staff […] and Doorman staff were very nice and helpful. Przeczytaj więcej

We came to Miami Beach for a romantic getaway we found the Congress Hotel to be good in terms of ratings and location. Unfortunately once you got to the hotel we had to wait eight hours to get into our room as we could not check in to our room until 4 o'clock I thought that was unheard of. Then I thought the price that we paid was the total price but […] they added on a bunch of fees. The pool was nice With a great view of the ocean and the beach. The surrounding neighborhood was great although it is very loud if you're trying to get to bed early. Overall I would say it's great for the room and the location and the pool but other than that it is overpriced the service is terrible and you will find that they'll buckle and dime you.

Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

Great location, right in the center of S Beach action. Terrific beach access and chair/towel service. Roof top pool has awesome view. The room we had looked like a studio apt. Spacious and would work for an extended stay if needed. We arrived at 1AM. They had our reservation, but said they had no rooms and would call around to find us one. We were […] there for the BCS Championship, so it was very crowded. I told the front desk person that I didn't want to move to another hotel and pay $600/night. Not too mention the cab ride and distance to location. After that, amazingly, an available room appeared. I find that strange. However, they were very nice during this time and our conversation was never heated, it was calm. We enjoyed the location...beach, restaraunts, and night life. Be warned...the Clevlander was next door to our building and it is VERY LOUD. Music until 4:30 am. The 3 mornings we were there, between 8-10 am, there were incredibly loud street sounds...garbage pick up, loud banging, glass breaking. This hotel is for partying and nothing else. We enjoyed the stay, but the event we were attending made the getaway fantastic and easy to overlook the flaws. Be warned, it's LOUD. Przeczytaj więcej

We thought the hotel was nice - the room was large, clean and modern, and the location was great in terms of access to restaurants/beach/etc. However, the room was extremely loud. We could hear the noise from the Clevelander until 5am, but the worst noise came from either A/C units or some kind of generator that was running early in the morning (from […] 6am on, or so). It sounded like the building was being power washed. Definitely too loud to sleep through. Przeczytaj więcej

i proposed to my girlfriend on the beach right across from this hotel. it was perfect and romantic! This hotel is right in the middle of all the hotspots if that is what you are looking for. I went for a jog on the boardwalk while my fiancé relaxed on the beach in the early afternoon.. it was very relaxing… like paradise. there is, however, music blaring […] all day and night from the restaurants underneath the hotel, so please keep in mind that this is not the quiet type of hotel you might be looking for. Also, the shower is very cool looking, but it is incredibly strange, and the water pressure is very low. The kitchen was amazing, with lots of room for your own groceries; equipped with microwave, stovetop, etc… there is not much closet space, not much countertop space in the bathrooms, and the balcony view was blocked by the 3 other neighboring buildings. remember to lock your balcony door and not leave any valuables on the balcony, because any next door neighbor can easily hop onto your balcony! also, since we were there for New Years, Ocean Drive was completely blocked off, so cars/cabs could not access the street; that means that we had to get dropped off on a street corner with all out luggage/groceries and haul them up to our hotel on our own. all in all, the hotel was a great experience! i mainly recommend this for younger couples into the party/beach scene.

Loud music was playing from late morning to three in the morning. One man at the reception desk was not polite nor helpful nor did he care to be. The loud noise at night and early morning made us buy earplugs but they did not help.
