Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of South Beach, right on Ocean Drive with direct access to the beach promenade. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, meeting all basic needs. However, noise isolation could be improved, requiring the use of earplugs at times.
My stay at Havana 1957 was fantastic! The hotel's location across from the beach and its central position on Ocean Drive offered stunning views of the outdoor bar, pool, and the vibrant South Beach scene. The rooms were great as described, but lacked privacy due to the missing blinds. The service, especially from Pablo and the front desk staff, was top-notch, making me feel welcomed and pampered throughout my visit. The dining experience was decent, with complimentary breakfast options nearby. I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and conveniences of being in the heart of Miami Beach's nightlife.
The hotel is in a vibrant location near the beach and within walking distance of clubs and restaurants. Rooms were cozy but with noise from bars below. The service was friendly but car delays occurred. Location is ideal but noise from nearby bars a drawback. Dining options were limited. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, right in the heart of the art deco district and close to tourist spots, the noise levels were quite disruptive late into the night. The service was excellent, with attentive staff, but the lack of options at the dining facility was a downside.
I couldn't have asked for a better location with the hotel being right in the middle of Ocean Drive South Beach. The rooms were equipped with all the basics needed, such as an iron and hair dryer, making the stay convenient. The service at Breakwater was exceptional, with the staff being professional, engaging, and genuinely helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of South Beach, right across from the beach, making it an ideal location for beach lovers. The rooms are comfortable and clean, offering a pleasant stay. The service was accommodating and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience, although the staff seemed a bit overworked. The location couldn't have been better with easy access to clubs, restaurants, and beach amenities. The dining experience was decent but lacked variety. Overall, a good value for the money with some minor room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was vibrant with a great nightlife and access to the beach, but the noise from the pool and bar area was a downside. The services provided were responsive and varied, but some staff members seemed indifferent. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were adequate, but the price point was a bit high for what was offered.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Although the location was superb being right on Ocean Drive, the room on the top floor facing bars and clubs made sleep nearly impossible until 4 am. The staff was accommodating, but service delays were frustrating. The dining options were basic, and there were significant noise disturbances from the adjacent nightlife venues.
I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, being right next to the beach and surrounded by vibrant restaurants. The rooms were cozy and spotlessly clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. However, dining choices were a bit lacking with limited options for breakfast. The atmosphere around the pool was fantastic and well-kept. The value for the price was reasonable although Wi-Fi was an additional cost.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were nice and comfortable, with a lovely big bathroom, clean and perfect for our stay. The service was impeccable - accommodating, friendly, and genuinely professional. The location couldn't have been better, right in the center of Miami Beach. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired. Despite that, the overall experience was fantastic.
The hotel is in a prime area for fun, clean, and offers a nice modern bathroom. It's fantastic if you want to be on the beach and in the middle of all the South Beach action. However, the manager's customer service was disappointing, and the room size may require opting for a bigger suite, which comes at an extra cost of $50 for a rollout bed.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was superb, right in the heart of South Beach, across from the beach, offering a vibrant atmosphere. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but the shared wall situation with another facility was a slight downside. The service was overall friendly, but there were some lapses in attention. The dining options varied, with some hits and misses, while the facilities added to the convenience of the stay.
