    Rooms facing Ocean drive could be a bit noisy.

    Tremendous service from start to finish. Probably the best hotel on Ocean Drive. Great facilities.

    I love the property!

    Outstanding, with the library, 2 pools, exclusive beach, yoga in the morning, restaurant and a happy hour between 3-6 every day; what else do you need! The location is the best possible.

    Room had seen better days.

    The food was fantastic. The bar was great, the live music was awesome. The proximity to the beach, and the art collection.

    Very noisy aircon in room.

    Stylish Art Deco Hotel in a lovely location on Miami South Beach. Has two lovely pool areas one with great sea and city views. Food in the restaurants was good and the staff very friendly and helpful. Bed comfortable and mini bar has a good selection. Live music in the evenings also provides a lovely ambiance. Decor stylish and appropriate.

    מקום מושלם להתארח בו

    ⸻ A Heartfelt and Touching Experience – A Must-Visit at The Betsy! In one word: Wow. The Betsy is not just a hotel – it’s a home for culture, art, music, and humanity. From the moment we walked in, we felt part of something truly special. The artistic design, the curated exhibitions throughout the property, the live piano music – every detail resonates with inspiration and emotion. But the highlight? The owner himself – present, engaged, sensitive, and deeply involved. It’s impossible to stay indifferent when witnessing someone who combines excellence in hospitality with a powerful community-driven vision. A rare blend of passion, culture, and love for people. We left with tears in our eyes and hearts full. If you’re looking for more than just a comfortable bed – if you’re seeking meaning – you must visit The Betsy

    Our room, while nicely decorated, had a musty/mildew smell. Perhaps trading out the area rug would help as some of those things capture moisture.

    The hotel is well situated near the beach and restaurants. The rooftop pool is very nice as is the downstairs bar.

    The rooms could have been a bit cleaner and serviced better, and there was some noise from the corridor late at night from other guests

    The staff and the vibe at the Betsy were the highlights. The bar/restaurant/lobby were great and the courtyard pool was nice. The room was very big with a full closet, though a small bathroom. Food and drinks were great. Bar staff at the rooftop pool and the bar also amazing.

    Another wonderful stay in South Beach at the beautiful Betsy Hotel

    The only part of this trip that wasn’t the best was when we opened the door to our two queen bedroom one of the beds was right by the door and almost hitting the door. This room was probably not intended for two queen beds, but maybe for one king? That was really my only complaint. For this price I would’ve wished that we had a little bit more room around the two beds

    This was my second time staying at the Betsy. The first time was with a friend and the second time was with my family. I loved it both times. I love how close it is to the beach and the rooftop pool. One evening we had dinner at the restaurant and sat outside. The food was delicious and the ambience and people watching was excellent. Will definitely return in the future.

    Fantastic boutique hotel across from the beach! The staff were exceptional and dealt immediately with any concerns/requests me or any member of my family had during our stay. What a team they put together here. The gym was excellent. The live piano in the lobby was so great to finish off a day with, and the lobby was always inviting and a happy place. I also loved the fresh complimentary coffee at the bar in the morning after my workouts. Great location, great team, we will be back!
