The staff at the desk was not very friendly unless I instigated a conversation. The Girls at the desk were more interested in there phones. Very unprofessional. The Girl that Ran the Restaurant was Awesome very engaging.

Our stay at the Marlin Hotel was awesome! The location is perfect, close to the beach and a ton of restaurants which is very convenient. The hotel room was very clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I would change for next time is to ask for a room away from the main door on the first floor as it was constantly being slammed shut which made it quite loud in the mornings for us. Other than that, I have no complaints and I will definitely be returning to stay here in the future! Thank you to the staff for all their help!

I bought the travel package through Expedia. When we got to the hotel we found out that there is an additional mandatory charges per day would be added in addition to my total package deal. This was a surprise to me as this extra charge was not mentioned anywhere on the Expedia booking site.

Great location - one block from Ocean Drive - we went to The Versace Mansion 3 blocks away for dinner - a must see and the cost was the same as any other restaurant in the vicinity- took the hop on hop off one day which was so so but did give us a lay of the land - great trip over all

Property was centrally located in South Beach. Only disappointment was breakfast was not available in restaurant. Also, restaurant operated independently from hotel, so meals couldn't be charged to your room.

This is the third time we stayed at this hotel. The location is perfect, the rooms are nice and they provide chairs and umbrella for the beach. They changed a few things this year, including the restaurant on site. It looks very nice but we did not have the chance to try it. They no longer offer breakfast- it would be nice to have that option. As to the staff, some are very welcoming and helpful but one was exceptionally rude. She seemed very bothered- does not match the rest of the staff. Everything else was great.

We spent 5 days at the Marlin and our stay was great. We loved how easy it was to walk to the Lincoln Mall for shopping and the variety of dining options in and around the hotel. Its just a block from the beach and the hotel provides umbrellas, towels, and beach chairs, which is super convenient. We found out during our stay that breakfast is no longer included, however with the amenity cost, I think the hotel could consider reducing that fee or including a breakfast coupon to a restaurant on Ocean Drive to make it more convenient and appealing for guests to fork out that fee. All in all, we loved our stay, we would come again, and we would recommend the Marlin as well.

I cant say enough amazing thongs about The Marlin. We were greeted with friendly, helpful staff. The hotel is clean, the room was great, the bed was comfortable and its in a perfect location. The restaurant downstairs has the coolest staff. They were so fun, we ended up eating there more than we thought. Franco and Dani took really good care of us and the bartender was super nice. We will definitely be back. Thank you for mak8ng iur time in Miami a memorable one!

My partner and I had a really great time staying at the Marlin. Everything was super seamless during our stay. The front desk staff were super considerate and helpful. The deluxe suite room exceeded our expectations! Some of the sheets were stained but service to get new towels & bathroom toiletries was great. Would recommend to stay here for anyone looking for a convenient location close to the beach.

Nice place, very friendly and accommodating staff. Close to beach, dining and shops. Only issue preventing excellent review is our air conditioner failed, and we were in high heat and humidity for a number of hours while they tried to fix (which to their credit, they were quick to try). They could not fix and we were directed to pack up and move to a (smaller) room. To their credit they did provide a discount. And to be honest, the room was fine, although a downgrade from our original. Given staff responses, they handled it as best they could, and we appreciated the efforts and compensation. Restaurant associated with hotel was good, not great; but offered convenience for some decent food (We had a lunch and dinner there).

I used the reviews to choose this hotel of the many in Miami Beach, particularly cleanliness. The reviews didnt do the cleanliness justice, its was spotless honestly. All of the staff are wonderful. It is quaint, well appointed and very comfortable. Fab location. Nothing to fault. I will be back asap.

Watch out for the bogus, non optional “amenity fee”. It includes a couple of small bottles of water, espresso if you drink it and a rather lame “breakfast” consisting of boiled eggs, croissants, muffins or toast. Better to just be upfront with the room charges and not add this trumped up amenity fee. Otherwise a very nice boutique hotel.

Initially we were put off because the address provided by Expedia (or at least the address saved to our calendar from the app) did not match the hotel. After parking and walking around the vicinity we saw the hotel and walked in. The hotel itself is charming. We felt like we were visiting Italy’s southern coast! The bedding was luxuriously soft. There was ample space in the bedroom and both bath room and closet were clean and roomy. Ask for a top floor or try to get one off Collins if you’re concerned about noise.

The resort fee included breakfast, a nice beach bag, two beach towels, and beach chairs. The location a 2-minute walk to Ocean drive. I would definitely stay here again.

First time staying at this boutique hotel. Our family of 3 had a wonderful stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were very spacious and comfortable. It was very centrally located and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The only problem we encountered was a non working NEspresso machine in our room but the waitress downstairs for breakfast more than made up for this. She made wonderful espresso drinks each morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this hotel again.
