Room Mate Lord Balfour Hotel, Miami
Expert reviews
“Despite the stylish décor and classy location, the Lord Balfour is low on stuffiness. Service is friendly. Glitz is minimal. Clientele was composed mainly of what looked to be upper-middle-class families and couples rather than the jet-setters who frequent the five-star palaces farther up South Beach. If you don’t demand pomp or pampering, Lord Balfour is a charming host.”
“This cheeky boutique hotel pays homage to the irreverent former British Prime Minister, Lord Balfour. With avant-garde interiors inspired by tattoo art and a sculptural scroll climbing the ceiling filled with quotes by Balfour, it’s an intimate, highly stylish place to rest your head.”

Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
The property is in a great location and nice design. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the property was very clean. The amenities were good but we did not fully take advantage of everything.
The rooms in the new portion of the hotel were not very soundproof and it was possible to hear conversations in the courtyard. The older portion of the room was quieter and the stafff was great to relocate us. The mattress was also compressed and was not comfortable for my wife.

Look no further if you are looking for a great hotel in the south beach area!
Excellent location, well-maintained facilities, very clean, and friendly & helpful staff. The complimentary beach towels, chairs and umbrellas were great.
There is no sound isolation in the room which made it a bit noisy sometimes.

Great location, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend
Loved the boutique feel. Cozy. Staff was great! William at check in did a great job on educating us about the hotel, etc. Abraham our waiter was on it. Great service and great happy hour
Could use sheer curtains in the room. In room phone non functional Jacuzzi/pool needs to be cool in the summer months.

Short beach break
The king size room was good for 1 person and should easily suit couples as well. The overall condition and decoration of the hotel is nice and feels homey. The water filling station is great. Elise is a wonderful receptionist she helped me to have a quick and smooth check in and out experience. The location of the hotel is excellent and very close the South Beach.

Amazing location with friendly staff, and cozy and nice hotel in general.
The location and the staff
The air conditioning in the room is too loud and it smells, plus the room walls are too thin, you can hear the other room’s TV easily.

The staffs are one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in the States
The hotel located in a quieter side of south beach so great location for those who doesn’t like parties. Super close to the beach. Arrived at 11am and they still let us do early check-in (thank you Navi). All the staffs were very friendly and super nice. Highly recommended!!
The elevator broke down during our visit

Great stay, great location!
Location was perfect. Staff were all lovely. The hotel was very nicely decorated.
The only downside was the dirty windows, ruined looking out into the beautiful street.

Very good
Nice pool, very small, but wasn’t an issue the time I was there. Very comfortable bed. Nice people. Nice location.
Bathroom was very small. Not an issue since I was traveling alone, but still for 2 people that would’ve been probably too small.

Would stay again for the location
Perfect location. Also the beach chairs and towels at the beach for guests. My room was nice I was upgraded on arrival
No amneties really. Pool too small there was never a chance to enter it

Very good
- The design of the hotel and the room - The kind reception staff - The room was facing a quiet inner courtyard - Beach chairs and towels were included
- Sparcely room furniture eg small wardrobe, no couch table, just one office chair as seating option despite being in a junior suite - Noisy floors - we could loudly hear the people wailing in the room above us - Low shower water pressure

Great choice for family trip to Miami Beach.
The kids can’t like the bunk beds more. Very close to the beach.
No elevator to the 2f/mezzanine so you have to lift all the luggage by urself. Bathroom sink is too small.
