This place was GREAT! the staff are professional, the views are great, rooms are small but it's in PRIME location! Note they do not have parking, valet is available for $40 per night. Great prices, wonderful restaurants, located 2 min walk from the beach. I would stay here again

Great location, in the heart of everything! Wonderful, helpful staff. Property a bit older with nice size rooms. Restaurants galore. Beach a block away and pool on rooftop.

Do not stay here! They gave my bf a key to my room at 230am when he is not on my reservation, didn't ask him for ID, and never called me to confirm. What if this was some random guy off the street!?!?! We moved to 3 different rooms while here because they are all terrible. We were only there 3 nights. They no longer provide loungers or chairs on the beach. Staff does not speak English. And what is that smell through out the entire hotel!?! The elevators smell like beer and feet. The rooms are more for looks and not very realistic to be "living" in. To apologize for my inconvenience they gave me a $50 coupon to use at the 24 hour restaurant downstairs. We never used it because it's all smoking, the music is way too loud, and the service is terrible. There is auto gratuity so they don't even try to be nice or accommodating. I will NEVER go back to this hotel.
Viviana at the rooftop pool was the only nice part of this hotel.response / report this review -

Richard upgraded me to a better room so my check in already started off smooth and on the right foot. Valet Manny was amazing and took my luggage for me to get up to my room. This is my second time staying in Miami at this hotel and I travel to Miami quite often . This hotel is pretty cute for the right budget person . Has 3 pools, 24 hr room service , live entertainment every night , happy hour drinks and more ! Will be back for sure on my next visit in Miami ! Thank you again to everyone for the hospitality and thanks Jeff for being our personal photographer

Staff was amazing room where clean. Be aware they do charge a resort fee and they have valet parking for a fee. It's in the heart of South Beach so if you don't like the party crowd not the place for you. However staff took excellent care of us. We stayed the night before out cruise.

Nice hotel. Rooms are adequate. Daily happy hour was cool. Overall, staff was pleasant. Room key failed to work every night. Seemed to be a pervasive problem. They really should fix that.

As far as room size, cleanliness, and location go- this place is great.
If you came here to get robbed by management, it's outstanding. I was charged for valet for a day ($50) without ever handing over keys to anyone who worked here. When I confronted them about charging me, they completely made up times and a ticket number saying that they supposedly "parked" my car at a certain time and made up a time they "brought" it back to me. We parked at a garage two blocks away so we could have avoided this fee, but obviously we should've just used the service as we were charged anyway.
If this never would have happened I would return, but now I won't. Be careful if you stay here the employees are very sketchy and won't think twice before blaming you for something.response / report this review -

My friend and I went for 5 days and we we're overall very satisfied with the hotel I would say the best features are the friendly staff, the cleanliness and the location. The thing that bothered me the most was that our room was right above the 24hr resto/bar and it was not sound proof at all so I had trouble sleeping because of the music. The fridge was full of stuff to buy so we had to empty it and put their stuff on the floor to put ours so that was a bit inconvenient but very minor Also as for minor details the shower was nice and clean but hard to control the temperature and made a loud noise and there are no mirrors in the main part of the room so for two girls in their 20s it was annoying to share the bathroom mirror for good lighting! Also you need to pay to be on the roof top mattresses next to the pool. But honestly none of those were deal breakers we had a good time and the hotel is great for the price!

Location is fantastic, can easily get to most places on South Beach within a 10 min walk, bike ride, or car. The rates are cheap compared to other hotels.but you do get what you paid for. Front desk was very slow and NEVER picked up the phone whenever we called the front desk. No one seemed to have the same answer whenever a question was asked, always something different. Most of the front desk people were nice but it was painfully obvious they took their time with everything. We waited for almost 2 hrs for ice after we asked and sent the ice bucket to the front desk. The only time something was done immediately was when the manager got on to them after he happened to be there and saw what was going on. The rooms look a lot smaller than what the picture shows, but not bad if you are there for a couple days. Cleaning service comes either very early in the day or during the evening. Our service came 5pm one day and only handed us towels, but again they were very nice.

1 star is for the beds, which were comfy and the location. Other than that, I would not recommend this hotel AT ALL and I wouldn't even stay here for free! The rooms are ridiculously small. Please believe that when I say it. There is no space. You can walk to your bed and to the bathroom thats it. I've never been in a hotel room so small. And I got a 'double double' room with two full beds which was 'supposed' to accommodate 4 guests. There is no way in the world four people and their luggage are able to fit comfortably. The closet was small, bathroom was small. Everything was small.
The room was dated, especially the bathroom. Water didn't dispense through the shower head evenly, so the pressure was extremely low which made for an unpleasant showering experience for 3 whole nights.
No Microwave in the rooms and when asked if my food (from their restaurant, disappointing as well) could be heated up, in so many words they couldn't do it and suggested walking to the 7-11. Staff was not very accommodating with a few other issues as well and their customer service could use major improvement. Members of Housekeeping and cleaning were polite though.
Bottom line, shop around, it'll be worth it. You do not get what you pay for with this hotel and it certainly is not worth the disappointment.response / report this review -

I would definitely be coming back to the catalina hotel!! The food was amazing as well as the drinks. The bartenders and wait staff was awesome. Goods vibes only. Music was great and relaxing. Our room was very cozy. Loved how the beach was a block away and EVERYTHING was within walking distance I.e. club DREAM and other cool spots to hang. Only thing I didn't like is the surprise surcharge of 20 dollars a day. But still it was understandable.

When I arrived, I was NOT told that the room size I had purchased was not available. As a result, I discovered that I was given the incorrect room once I opened the room’s door. I purchased a king size room, but received a room with two double beds. I conveyed my displeasure the so-called manager on duty, but he was no help. Not only was his name tag on upside down, he told me he had no authority to do anything and no one was there that could help me with my room situation. However, I watched him give multiple drink tickets to guests as I was checking in. He clearly had some authority. He just refused to be helpful nor apologetic.
The next day, I was fortunate enough to have Mario, the manager the next morning, help me get into the correct sized room. Because it was my first full day, I wanted to go to the beach. The hotel’s website says beach chairs will be available. I asked for them, but was told that the hotel was no longer offering chairs. When I asked to speak to a manager, Mario helped me again saying, “Some new chairs arrived today.”
The second full day of my visit the room wasn't cleaned until 6 pm, and when I returned my room door was left opened. Again, I complained to the front desk, but were told that a manager was not available.
In addition, the sink in the room leaked and would dampen the towels that were placed under the sink everyday.
The main take-away from our trip was that the Catalina cares very little for its advertised promises. Instead, I had to fight for everything I got, even though I was only asking what I paid for. I still have no compensation from the first night in the wrong size room. What is promised in advertising should be honored and guaranteed.response / report this review -

Stayed here for 3 nights, I wouldn't stay here again. The pool on the ground floor was dirty, didn't even want to go in. The one on the roof is maybe 10x10. The rooms are basic, no view except for the few that overlook the street, hallways are gross and the building we were in constantly had a smell (the building with the sushi restaurant). Its close to Lincoln road but personally I think ocean drive is better and in that case it's about a 20 min walk.
It's a hotel for those on spring break. Definitely not worth the price.response / report this review -

LOVED IT!!!! My friends and I stayed here for spring break and we could not have asked for more. The rooftop pool is to DIE for. It has actual beds that make relaxing sooo much easier. The bamboo pool is so pretty. There is a restaurant inside the hotel & while it's pricey, it's extremely convenient!! The daily housekeeping ensures the rooms are very clean. They also have free mix drinks for happy hour every night from 7-8. There is not a single thing that I can complain about when it comes to this hotel!! HIGHLY recommend!
