I could live here.
The room was incredible. I was nervous about bunk beds for my adult friends, but they were full size and had privacy curtains. The beach is only a 5 minute walk from the property. Navi at the front desk was WONDERFUL! She was super informative and made us feel like VIPs. Highly recommend this historic hotel!

It was a nice stay and the bar tenders were great. The hotel and rooms were a cute boutique style. However, our ac went out at about 3:30 am one night. In Miami in the summer time this is absolutely miserable. The toilet kept running every night and we kept having to fix it. Other than that, the location and stay was good.

William at the front desk is outstanding . So friendly and informative . Hotel facilities and location are great and a small pool onsite . Bathrooms are nice in rooms only downside is shower pressure but not honestly an issue. Welcome drink and bike usage free for two hours a day is a nice touch. Staff are very friendly and we were very comfortable here for our 1 night stay pre cruise .

Mothers Day weekend at Balfour
I took my kids to Miami for Mother’s Day weekend. Originally booked a 2 bedroom somewhere else to accommodate the 4 of us and ended being a disaster upon arriving that night. The next morning we hopped on hotels.com and did a last minute booking of the Balfour Hotel, what a breath of fresh air when we arrived to check in!!! Such a cute little hotel! Staff was friendly, room was nicely equipped and designed. Hotel was within a couple blocks walk from the beach and they provided beach towels and chairs/umbrella for their guests. The restaurant in the lobby was a great little convenience to have as well with great food! Balfour gave us the opportunity to enjoy the rest of our trip and leave with good memories, Will be sure to stay there again next time

The room we were offered on the 2nd floor had no privacy from the Main Street with no net curtains. As no other room was available, we cancelled our stay and found suitable alternate accommodation

I stayed at this same hotel 5 years ago and it has definitely changed ALOT. We were able to check in 30 or so min early which was nice- asked for 2 beds, was advised it would be an additional $29 per night, we declined. No welcome drink provided- I stayed at this hotel 5 years ago, and it has definitely changed. once we got into our room, the AC was not working- it was extremely muggy. Then had to wait for a technician, then was told it would take time and was given a different room. The 2nd room had ac, BUT the refrigerator wasn’t working. They had to send the same person up, and then replaced the AC. there was a stain on my pillow, the room didn’t have the peep hole/door viewer but other rooms did- felt kind of unsafe incase someone came to the door, we couldnt know/see who it is. The beach towels were extremely worn out and gross. The hotel was not what it used to be when I stayed here 5 years ago. The only 2 positive things I could say was that the staff was very accommodating and extremely nice & the closeness to the beach. Definitely would not stay here again & would not recommend. Having to deal with the room change and problem after problem, next time I’d pay more to not have to deal with this on my vacation.
