Colony Hotel

Aleksandra Zhekova

If I could give minus 1 star, I would. AVOID AT ALL COST! This is a filthy place that is not worth even a penny. There is a horrific hum in my room which is making my bed vibrate. When I asked for my room to be changed, the receptionist said they had no availability. Then I asked for my money back, so I could go to a better hotel. I was told that could not happen. When I told the receptionist that people pay to be able to get some sleep, the response was "People pay to have a room". So, not necessarily to to sleep - ridiculous! So, here I am wring this review at past 2am, because it is absolutely impossible to sleep. Not to mention how unbelievably dirty, stinky and run down it is. I have make up (not mine) all over my sheets and pillow cases, as well as hairs (again, not mine) all over the towels. Book a better hotel, there are plenty on Ocean Drive. I cannot even call this a hotel - it is a horrible slum! Cannot wait to the sun to come out, so I can leave this crap hole and go somewhere where I will be able to sleep!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cyborg-Style The Colony Hotel is one of the most iconic buildings on Ocean Drive and a true symbol of Miami Beach’s famous Art Deco Historic District. Its bright pastel blue facade and classic vertical “COLONY” sign make it one of the most photographed landmarks in South Beach. Located directly across from Lummus Park and the beach, the hotel sits in the heart of Ocean Drive where palm trees, ocean views, and historic architecture all come together. During the day the building stands out with its clean Art Deco lines and pastel colors, and at night it lights up with neon giving the entire area that classic retro Miami glow. It’s surrounded by restaurants, nightlife, and beach access, making it one of the best locations for experiencing the energy and history of South Beach all in one place. — Chris Raborg The Cyborg Project 🤖🌴🌊✨

Booked a overnight stay for a Summer Vacation side quest. Its not a white glove test approved hotel, its an experience. You’re not doing it right if you’re in your room anyway. We extended a second night because we truly enjoyed ourselves! Traveled with 3 kids (10, 14, & 17). Many thanks to Alex for his charming hospitality! A true Gem of a human. Would love to come back, would stay here again.

Cool and iconic. Right by the beach. Service is good. We came early and they had a room available and let us in at 9am (check in is typically at 4!) Rooms are nice - huge TV! They were recently rennovated in 2023. I also felt the king was a nice size. However, now the not so good - cleaning. Idk who they have contracted with for cleaning, but easily fixable issues in my opinion: - Shower curtain had mold, and was generally not long enough so would suck into the shower and touch you (ew) while showering. Water ends up all over the floor. - The white grout needs a deep scrub and bleach, after being used for 3 years. It's black now. Also ew. - They never cleaned our room. Think the fact that the bathroom is soaked after a shower means we need at least a fresh floor towel. - Bro, instead of a duvet cover, they just put two sheets together. See my video. Big ew. You'd touch the (likely) unwashed duvet all night. Get a good cleaning service in to deep clean the rooms here and there, clean them appropriately in general, and spend a buck on a real duvet cover and shower curtains.

Hello everyone, I stayed at this hotel for four days. The person I met on the first day was very nice, but everything changed when I went to room 311. There was no power outlet near my bed, and on the last day of my stay, I saw three very large insects in my room. If it had been earlier, I definitely wouldn't have stayed another day at this hotel. When I reported this to the reception, they only said they could change my room. Definitely don't stay here because huge insects might appear in your face while you're sleeping.
