elevator is too old and slow bed is not a couple size, it’s smaller every doors are so noisy and loud the street (ocean drive st) is closed in front of the hotel, so it makes very difficult to get there with luggages

Thin walls it was a little noisy, but not a problem. Expected it to be lively!

Great location! Close to everything including the beach! We walked everywhere.

Room was pretty outdated, would be nice to add an actual door to the bathroom shower so you don’t end up splashing water on the floors when showering and then having a falling accident.

Location was excellent, first row to the beach enterance. Hotel staff and receptionist were very helpful and answered all of our questions.

The room was very small and nowhere to put suitcases and open them Hardly any floor space. A smaller bed in this room would be better

Location was great. Loved the decor and the staff were friendly

Nice vibe. Clean.

A few things we noticed that are worth mentioning.. no coffee machine or ability to make coffee in the room. Only one hook to hang towels on in the bathroom. Only a tiny space for our own toiletries in the bathroom No way to turn the air conditioning completely off. Adults offered tea or coffee with breakfast but NO drink offered to kids apart from milk. This was particularly odd.

Stunning location, stunning hotel, fabulous staff.

The hotel is older but you stay for that reason and whilst it doesn’t have all the facilities of newer hotels it makes up for it with charm.

A beautiful, classic old hotel. A great location and very friendly and helpful staff.

LOVED the location! Ocean Drive how can you complain?

the sofa bed wasn't comfy, I wouldn't recommend the room for 4 ppl the designated beach area is about 500m away

Great location, beachfront view, great restaurant, helpful staff, stunning art-deco building with period features and contemporary facilities The hotel is very close to lively nightlife venues, but it wasn't too noisy in the night

I don't have much to say negatively other than I found the staff overall to be a bit aloof and not extremely helpful other attentive in general. However, Juan, who works during the day, was a lovely and helpful, caring person who went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and happy. He is a good face of the hotel in terms of how staff should behave. The night staff Juan, however, was not like this and didn't seem to know much, nor was he helpful. He gave me a weird vibe each time I had to approach him and I infact avoided him after a few encounters where I found he seems put off by having to do his job rather than sit behind the desk on his phone. I've been in many places, and his attitude didn't suit a hotel environment. He didn't even properly explain where the beach was the first day or how to get chairs. And I ended up in the wrong place. The next morning, I asked Juan to day staff, and he gave me simple directions and details with ease and a smile. They should work on customer care. Otherwise, the stay was good. But dark in the rooms because of lack of light but so fresh and clean. It's not like a regular hotel, so you deal with little quirks like no coffee or tea in the room, runny toilets, and no maintenance at certain hours. Little things like that, but in no way a bad stay.

The Cavalier was an interesting hotel in the Art Devo District of South Beach, directly located on Ocean Drive in the middle of a bustling but heavily guarded and safe area of Miami for Solo Travellers. I went for a quick few days at the beach, and this was perfect. The private beach area with chairs offered is only a short few minute walk and there is lots of food around you to enjoy. The rooms were clean, but sparce with a bit of a Bates Motel type vibe in an upscale way, the exposed brick in the rooms and giant comfy beds make for a relaxing stay. The breakfast included was decent, but the items were minimal. Don't expect buffet style, and your choices are limited, too. The Cordoza next door had some of the best food on the strip, and after speaking to many locals, I found they recommended that place, and The Betsy Ross. You may be disappointed with a lack of care, quality, and service at the other locations. There is a cute little delicious Italian sandwich shop right behind Starbucks, which makes a great cheap lunch. Lots of shopping, go up, and check out Washington Ave and Collins. And the little pastry shop next door serves fresh smoothies, juices, and some yummy stuff too for decent prices. None the less you can't go wrong for a few nights in Miami. Great location! Intresting place to stay, and I felt safe.

We originally booked the classic double which is a full size/double bed. We paid extra to get a king size bed.

Location is great. Breakfast is included. Art deco style hotel.

Only issue is part of the street that this hotel,as well as others, is for pedestrians only so have to park at end of the block (15 min limit) to check in or drop your bag on street (if partner with you) around the corner and then park in parking garage a few minutes walk away which is an additional $20/24 hrs. One king bedroom was comfortable but could be a tight squeeze for some.

A very nice boutique hotel with a gorgeous lobby with a bar. Nice, helpful staff. Breakfasts included were freshly prepared and plentiful. Very convenient area on Ocean Drive.

This wasn't a problem for me, but the stairs could be challenging for some - the lighting was low. The elevator worked well, but it was a bit cumbersome to use. On the upside, the elevator is historic and was included on the art deco walking tour I took.

Great location, super helpful staff, and very atmospheric if you are looking for the art deco experience. The facilities have been upgraded but still retain the art deco style. The breakfast options included in the resort fee were sufficient for a short stay, and the food was very good.

Our room was on the first floor, with a side window, which had film over it, so no view of much light coming in.

Location! And the fact is was an old art deco hotel, quirky and friendly. The room was clean and bed comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and great that it was included in price.
