Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was an awful experience. Not at all what was expected. Both from a room standpoint, and from a service standpoint. - Shower had no hot water - Bathroom is tiny. I am a 5'7 73 year old, so that is saying a lot - Room was not cleaned - Facilities far below what was expected (even when looking at pictures). In no way justified the resort fee. - The staff at the front desk was very nice, but the manager was extremely unprofessional and rude. When I had spoken to him about the hot water issue and the room not being cleaned, he refused to even acknowledge there was an issue. Instead of being sympathetic and offering to fix the issue or switch rooms, he denied that was the case and implied I was lying. - Regardless of the management experience, I still would not recommend the hotel. Not worthy of a 4 star distinction

Horrible and worst experience ever at The Balfour Hotel: The experience at the hotel began with a frustrating check-in process late at night on February 14th. Despite having a valid booking, the night staff initially couldn't find it and mistakenly assigned an occupied room us. After finally getting a room, we encountered disruptive snoring noises from neighboring rooms. The following days were marred by constant construction noise from early morning to evening, making the room uninhabitable. Despite complaints to reception, the issues persisted, and even the hotel manager's intervention failed to address the situation satisfactorily. We requested a refund or partial refund for the unpleasant stay, but the manager was uncooperative and dismissive, offering dining coupons instead. The manager's lack of concern and inability to resolve the issues compounded the dissatisfaction. Ultimately, we were left feeling unheard and dissatisfied with the hotel's management's response to our legitimate grievances.

We had a fantastic stay at the Balfour. All the staff were lovely and Mary in particular was great. The hotel is in the perfect location and a very short walk from the beach. The free usage of Esteban’s beach loungers made the trip even better. Only negative was loud works being completed at the hotel during the day which wasn’t a huge deal as we were out most days but the work did start quite early and felt like it was directly above us. I would stay again for sure and highly recommend if you’re looking for a chilled stay in south beach. Thanks team Balfour!

Very cute little hotel. Staff was friendly. Only problem was we are a family of 4 with 2 kids. We got to the hotel to check in to find out there was ac problems so our 2 queen room wasn’t available. They said they gave us to joined king rooms instead. This sounded just fine to us til we got to our rooms and realized they really aren’t “joined” and were on opposite sides of the floor. So either we leave our 10 and 14 year old in a room by themselves in Miami or we each take a kid and sleep in different rooms….on our anniversary. Happy anniversary… ended up each taking a kid and slept in opposite rooms. This would have been a great set up for like 2 adult couples. Not a family with kids.
