The Marlin Hotel

Love this hotel. Our room was super cute (550 sq ft) bed was comfy, super clean, couch was great, the throw blankets were very homey, beach bag with beach towels, they give u beach chairs n and umbrella which was amazing. The hotel smelled great and was super clean. The Italian restaurant was good too. Good location to walk to the beach, stores and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay.

This hotel was a great location,the room was super small, the service at the front desk was just average at best . They need to update their advertising. They said they "offer" room service and valet parking,they DON'T. If you book through a travel sight beware of the extra $32 a day charge for absolutely NOTHING. They won't remove it ,we asked and they were very rude about it. I would recommend finding another place to stay in that area personally. The mattress was awful, bathroom was tiny ,no view it was a concrete wall. I could go on and on ...

The location is perfect. The building is art deco and the restaurant is chic for the area. Our roo​m (Premium Studio​) on the first floor had no natural light as the window faces another building and a dirty alleyway. That's a bit depressing. The room is quite small for American standards. There is a resort fee, but the hotel doesn't have facilities. You get beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels and a beach bag, but that seems to be pretty much it for quite a high fee. For about $360 per night the value you get is low. We stayed at Marlin back in 2018 and the hotel was recently renovated then. Now it looks dated, a few things are broken, the standards are definitely not the same.

This hotel is awesome. Great location, the rooms are spacious and very clean. The whole hotel smells very nice. The A/C works great which was very much appreciated on the hot, humid days. Location is fantastic - one block from Ocean Drive, two blocks from the beach, ultra quiet (no noise from the street - even on Friday and Saturday nights! - no noise from other guest rooms). Easy walk into the Art Deco area and South Beach, SO MANY restaurants within easy walking distance, and the onsite restaurant (Positano - Italian) is delicious and fairly priced. We're traveling with two daughters, and the queen size sofa bed was already made up when we arrived around 1:30 PM. The hallways have a vintage look - dark walls and carpets with cool gold lamps between each room - and the rooms themselves are super modern, very clean, very comfortable. Bathroom is great - two little rooms, actually - one with a very nice shower with glass doors, a toilet, and a sink, and an outer room with another sink and lots of mirrors. My wife and I had a king bed, and the sofa bed was a queen size and very comfortable. The staff with whom we've interacted have all been very nice. Everyone is all smiles, and the check-in person was very friendly and helpful, as well. My favorite touch - an espresso maker in the room!! I recommend this hotel 100% and will definitely stay again on our next trip to Miami.

I was so pleasantly surprised at the level of hospitality and forethought the Marlin provides their guests. They had a beach bag prepared for each room, and beach chairs and umbrellas for beach time. So thoughtful. ||The hotel is beautiful and our room was clean, and nicely decorated. Most importantly, it had a fully functioning A/C and was quiet. ||The employees from the hotel and restaurant were very friendly and helpful. We wanted ideas of places to go to after dinner and they had excellent recommendations. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay again.

Super cute boutique hotel. Staff was amazing, got an upgrade and early check in. Room was a great size, super clean. It was just a one night stay as we flew out the next day to our final destination. Location is great, 1 block from beach, surrounded by plenty of food options and markets. Definitely will stay again when we go back to Miami.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Marlin! The location, cleanliness, service, and overall quality were truly outstanding. In the U.S., it’s rare to find this level of service without paying a fortune. The hotel is right in the heart of South Beach — you can walk to everything. The rooms are super modern and recently renovated, but what impressed me the most was the housekeeping. They were incredibly clean and detail-oriented. Freshly pressed bed linens, spotless rooms, and every day they restocked our Nespresso pods and water bottles. From the moment we walked in, the staff was kind, attentive, and really knew what they were doing. I was so happy with my experience — I would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely hotel at a great location. Hotel is older / has character but felt modern. Nice touches like a beach bag in room with beach towels, and available beach chairs and umbrella. Convenient short walk to the beach and many nearby stores and restaurants. Nice restaurant in the lobby as well.
