Very nice establishment. Was valued as a customer. Brianna was amazing. Very attentive to customers needs. At the bar Mario was an excellent bartender with a great personality. Juan Martin whenever I needed him he was right there being helpful. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway with class.Kyle Thompson

We were quite disappointed by the quality of our stay. I’ve stayed at other Axel hotels and this was not as enjoyable. The sauna was not working, the jets in the hot tub did not work (broken/missing knob), and the gym was not well equipped but we still had to pay the full “resort fee”. The room itself was not very clean. The shower had mold throughout and caulking coming off all over. They also have full control over your thermostat!!! We had to ask multiple times for them to allow our AC to go lower because it was hot in our rooms. I’m not sure they ever did this because it remained very warm most of the trip. Our last night there it was hard to sleep because our room was 80 degrees. The maintenance guy came in the “fix it” and left saying they would have to adjust it on their controls???? As a customer, we should have more control over our room temperature. Outside of those complaints, the staff were friendly and the location was perfect for us! We were walking distance to most things we wanted to do. I’m not sure I would stay here again though.Killian J.

Great location in a great historic property. Loved the gay vibes! Will always want to stay in an overtly queer friendly place. The pool was so fun! The staff was all so nice EXCEPT the front desk staff - the folks you expect to be nicest. My assumption is that they've had issues with check in because they immediately seemed annoyed that we were even there. Thankfully everyone else made up for it, but it was certainly an odd way to start the experience. Room and amenities were exactly as advertised.Howard A.

Check-in was fast, but the original room we were in was way to close to the party area. Staff was so kind and accommodating when we asked for a more quiet room. Love the staff, and all their kindness. Definitely did not know the LGBT factor until we checked in, but pleased with the room, staff and stay. Thank you to the staff for the best first-time experience in Miami Beach!Antonio V.

Excellent location! Close tở literally everything ;Bars, restaurants, shopping & the beach. this is my second stay here and i already knew that I’m gonna have a great stay. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Plus they have the greatest staff! Very friendly and accommodating! Also Especial thanks to Ahmad who welcomed me.I came to the hotel very early and i knew that check in time is at 4pm, i only came to drop off my bags so i can walk around freely without carrying them. But Ahmad checked me ỉn right away after checking if there will be available room at that time. (10am)It has been my tradition to go back to Miami at least once a year and i know this hotel will be my go to place! 💯Francisco Montilla

Axel Beach Miami is really good! Nice location to walk everywhere. Española way is literally around the corner with great restaurants!!! The room was super comfy 😈 and all the amenities were great! Clayton was amazing at the front desk during our check In, he gave us very good recommendations!!! A great customer service, he rocks!!! We will come back, Matthew and FranciscoHubert Wolfram

Had an amazing stay in Axel, really close to Ocean Drive and beach. Facilities in the hotel were great. Clayton was great when checking us in and let us check in a bit earlier. John made sure that we were comfortable by changing our room when the AC in our original broke down and was always ready to assist us with anything. The hotel made the whole trip great overall.Jamee A.

I came to Miami for a few days for marathon training. I just needed a place to sleep at night. When I picked the hotel I picked it on price. I didn't realize it was a LGBT hotel till a few days before arriving . I thought I would in for a shock when arriving seeing i was a straight guy.When I arrived I just feel in love with the staff. Very friendly. I got my room a little earlier then check it. So that was a bonus. The room was on the smaller side but it was just me. The room was very clean. Then I went to the pool thinking this will be interesting. But I was wrong. Everyone was there was super friendly. The location was great for what I needed. Very close to the board was. So I could run.i would highly recommend this for anyone. What a amazing experience I hadJustin Kelly

Great vibes! From the valet to the front desk, everybody working at this hotel is super friendly. Security is seen and makes you feel safe. I love the amenities offered, you have to try the sauna! John at the front desk speaks multiple languages and very helpful! Great recommendationsLakea Roberson

We booked from looking at photos so wasn’t sure what to expect when we got there! Well to our absolute pleasure everyone was so pleasant and welcoming! Ahmad the front desk supervisor was ah-mazing! Literally from sense of humor, professionalism and demeanor just all around wonderful! Every staff member that we came into contact with was pleasant! The hotel is meticulously clean and inviting! Loved it here! Also, I must say the amenities are awesome! They even have a nice “protection” gift in the room for people that should need it! Just amazing! Will definitely return 🥰Sofija K

Super friendly staff! Specially Franco always greeted us every time we walked around the lobby and pool. Any questions we needed answered they were very accommodating! Pool did have leaves but come on we’re under trees, it’s a given. Plus they kept trying to clean it but it was truly pointless but nice to know they still tried! Highly recommend this cozy hotel!Cristiana nóbrega

I was a guest on July 2/July 4th-2022. I met exceptional staff that works together as a team. Each of them (Julie, Ahmed, Javier, Franco and John) are impressive; they articulate and gave positive energy with clear options for our stay. They were all professional, kind and very courteous. I will be back to stay and I look forward to seeing them all again. Thank you for sharing the staff and please, please give them a “Big Kudos” and tell them to keep up the good work. I pray for safety and protection for them all. Be blessed with peace and blessings Please tell Marvin (guy for parking) we thank him too!Julio Suarez

The hotel is in a good area close to shopping stores and night life and of course the beach.Before I forgot to mention how amazing and helpful Ahmad was at the front desk. Super informative and friendly with a nice smile.Super welcome and also the rest of the team did a great job 👏Sashe Vanchovski

This hotel has gone above and beyond with everything, each staff member you come in contact with smiles and asks if you need anything, Ahmed, John, Franco, the man in the dark blue shirt at the desk and Daniel in the restaurant… I will definitely return and let others know… should be more than 5 stars on service… whoever is doing the hiring is doing it the correct way…Paul Rosser

My two nights here were comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean and a decent size considering it’s an Art Deco building. John at reception was extremely helpful and friendly. The type of guy you could have a chat with. I loved the gym, compared to other hotels I was impressed. All machines and equipment you need for a decent workout. The pool was nice. I would recommend.georgi walker

The stay was super good. The room was amazing, and really big. The air conditioning was really nice and good quality. The people from the hotel was really nice with us. The pool area is so comfortable and amazing for the heat. Victor received us and he was so nice, he gave us details and recommendations for Miami.The only bad thing was that the fire alarm sounded one night at 3am and the noice was horrible, but the people from the hotel got to our room and fixed it.Henry Dalencour

From the moment I stepped in the door Victor greeted me with the most charming smile & the most pleasant energy. After a long day of traveling, there’s nothing that beats being welcomed by an amazing staff, & that speaks to Victor. The energy & vibe of the place is perfect for a long wkend getaway. Just got here & can’t wait to come back.Darren Flener

Staff is great. The location is great with easy access to the beach, restaurants and Lincoln road. Beds are very comfortable. Gym was clean and has what is needed. The hotel is a historical art deco, so do not expect large rooms or updated. Ahmad was of great help with a business detail.Harry Truong

The hotel is nice. I read the reviews before I stayed. My bathroom was cleaner than most chain hotels. The room was very clean. Staff is nice. Beach is walking distance. You get chairs to lounge on. The location is everything. Gay bar Twist is walking distance.Mike M.

I typically only leave positive reviews and deal with occasional issues directly with establishments but Axel Miami Beach has been unresponsive and unhelpful after I was “mysteriously” overcharged an additional ~$100 after a recent stay. No one seems to know why, or want to speak to me about it, and yet the charge was attributed to the hotel. I stayed here because I wanted to support one of the remaining LGBTQ+ businesses in Miami Beach, and the lobby, location and vibe are great. The junior staff were lovely and we got an early check in. Hence the two stars. Unfortunately the hotel’s various floors and rooms are not in good condition, and the air conditioning is so loud it’s like construction noise at night. We asked for a new room the next day and were accommodated but it was a downgrade in size. Certainly not what we paid for! When we came back to freshen up, we realized the room wasn’t clean and the pillow shams were covered in make up. Management / reception couldn’t be less interested in (a) the fact that we couldn’t sleep; (b) making sure you get the room type you paid for; (c) offering anything when you get downgraded, which left a damper on special trip. Not the usual quality and service from Axel. Luckily, the rest of Miami Beach made up for it!R D

Staff was extremely welcome and made us feel safe. The rooms are musky smelling due to the fact that the bathroom does not have any ventilation. No working fan over time has created mold in the tiles around the whole bathroom…. Beds were more soft than hard, which wasn’t our cup of tea. Otherwise, the pool area is great and gym (although small) has everything you need.Armando S

We enjoy historic places that keep the original charm while providing modern conveniences. If you this is your passion, this is a great oasis to stay. The staff is very helpful and attentive to our questions and support. If you want fake perfection, then go to the over-priced hotels. This is for peace and serenity. The grounds have trees around the pool. It is pleasantly organic organic to see some leaves fall and remind yourself the pleasantness of nature.The rooms are well appointed with the original hardwood floors. I love the way they look and bring a natural feeling to the rooms. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced.My wife and I were warmly accepted by the other gracious guests. We enjoyed sharing conversations and laughter with with down-to-earth happy people.Come here if you want to be close to all of the restaurants, party scene and beach. Everything is located well within a simple stroll. Don’t be in a hurry. Come here to relax and be stress free.Sheila Ansah

Beautiful hotel in the most perfect location. One block away from the beach and in the heart of South beach. My stay wouldn’t have been this enjoyable if it wasn’t for the receptionist John. An absolute sweetheart and so professional. I will definitely be staying here again in the future. Thanks John for your hospitality. Love, your Aries sister 🙂O RR

From the moment we arrived the staff was very friendly, attentive and personable. I was staying at the Loews Hotel across the street but would certainly not stay there next time we are in Miami. The Loews is beautiful, but you are just another guest and is SUPER CROWDED with too many children. I love children, but I'm in Miami to have fun with adults. The Axel Hotel made us feel like family. They also have this really cool pool party on Sundays and is included for guests. Walking distance from Ocean drive, the beach, and tons of shopping and restaurants. Very clean and well maintained amenities. LGBTQ+ friendly and approved! 😎 Will stay here next time for sure!Ken Marcel
17:35 19 Feb 22
Fantastic location but that's about it. Waited an hour to check in behind three people; not because they were difficult but the check in process literally took 20 minutes per guest and there was only one host. No hairdryer in the room, room was tiny and had the style of a motel along the freeway. Tons of drinks and snacks in the room and no price menu. Location & friendly staff get it two stars.Josh North

I’ve stayed here twice and both times I really enjoyed my stay. The pool is refreshing and a great place to meet other guests, the hot tub was hot and so were the men. My first trip I booked a room with a balcony overlooking the pool, the room was very large, and the shower had plenty of room for 2 or more people to use. I was pleasantly surprised to find a circuit type party happening at the pool, the balcony provided a great place to watch the party before going to join. Second time I stayed I booked a single bed room and it was just as lovely, it over looked a walkway and into a neighboring room across the airspace. I chose to leave my curtains open and was excited to provide a little entertainment for the other guests. Gym has everything you need for a workout while on vacation, the steam room is a nice amenity but it was always empty. The little shop for speedos and swim truck was convenient and had a good selection. Located in a perfect spot in south beach and only two block from the beach. I would highly recommend this hotel.Tony LaColla

Great location close to everything in the area. The rooms are typical South Beach hotel rooms. Cute but nothing great. Very nice pool area but very shady so don’t except a tan. Go to the beach for that. Front desk staff is nice and helpful.This place gets two starts because the restaurant service is abysmal. First they were super slow to even acknowledge our presence. Once seated it was about 20 minutes before anyone came to ask for our food order. While waiting for someone to take our order, it started to rain. We were then informed that while it was raining they wouldn’t serve the food. The entire rest of the day was supposed to rain so why even bother taking our order.Aaron Myers

My partner and I have stayed here 4 times since they opened, and we just adore the staff. Everyone is so helpful and welcoming. Juli at the front desk even recognized us as returning guests, which always makes you feel special! We will be returning soon to see the whole crew and have another great weekend in MIA. Don't forget to enjoy all the great drinks from Lucas, Michael, Victor, and all the other great bartenders!Shannon M.
