Viscay Hotel

Viscay hotel sits at the corner of Collins and 10th street and is one of the more utilitarian budding in the art deco district. It is (relatively) inexpensive and fairly basic because of that but is still clean and comfortable with friendly staff (thank you Luis for all of your helpful advice) and I would recommend this hotel to anyone on a budget who doesn’t mind being right in the thick of the hustle and bustle of South Beach. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and a good shower and bathroom and small kitchenette, ideal. Be aware there is no bar in the hotel and didn’t seem to offer a breakfast although this was mentioned on the blurb when we booked it. This was really no concern to us as we always breakfasted at a small family run bakers just around the corner, but just worth noting. With that in mind, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the area, it is extremely noisy until the small hours, especially at the weekend and if you are accommodated at the front of the hotel, offers little in the way of sound insulation. Being in our fifties, and first time visitors to Miami, this did catch us out and the first night was spent wondering if the whole of Collins Avenue was in our room with us. The farther up South you go the quieter it seems to get so we will probably aim for there next time. We found Miami fairly expensive so the only saved on the accommodation was a godsend, thank you The Viscay and I have no reservations about recommending this hotel.

I stayed for 5 days and I really liked the property and area around the hotel. It is close to the beach and walkable to most places. The room was big and clean. I liked that it had a microwave, fridge and safe.

Noce little property, however it is definitely not worth over $200 a night, this is more of an $80 place. Inside was loud, minimal handicap accessibility. Very close to ocean,dinning, and entertainment!

Not clean at all. There was hair on multiple towels. No soap in the bathroom. Dirt in drawers. The fridge froze everything no matter if I changed the temp. Location was the only good thing, and still super loud. I could also hear the person snoring in the room across the hall.

If you want to be right in the middle of the action this place is perfect for you. Two blocks from beach, one block from the main stretch of bars, etc that line the beach. The room was clean and inside the hotel it was very quiet. Outside the hotel expect to hear horns, loud music and drunk people until the 3-5AM. We had ear plugs which I would highly recommend if your goal is to sleep rather than party until the sun comes up. Overall loved this placed!

Great location, 5 minutes from the beach. The area is generally busy with tourists, but very walkable with tons of restaurants and shops. Hotel is a little outdated, but is safe and has what you need. No cable TV (antenna channels) so don’t expect to watch your favorite shows. Staff was friendly and helpful. WiFi could be better.

Good value hotel, which does “exactly what it says on the can”. It’s not trendy, and the room furnishings are old-fashioned; but everything works, the South Beach location is excellent, and the rooms are large, clean, comfortable and quiet. The Viscay provides a comfortable and reliable stay. (And remember to ask the manager for his history lesson about the 1848 revolutions.) Bear in mind this is a place to sleep rather than a full-service hotel. The front desk isn’t staffed at nights (you get a door key), so if you’re checking-in late you need to communicate your arrival time in advance so that someone is there to meet you.
