Boulan South Beach

I do not recommend this hotel. When checking in it seemed like all the employees were more interested in there talking with each other then actually helping customers. I also arrived around 10 am and my room was not ready until 4pm. Other hotels I have stayed in have called housekeeping and let them know the customer was here and could they clean the room first. The elevators were not working all weekend. All the staff there are not helpful at all.

Boulan South Beach – Honest Review I recently stayed at Boulan South Beach and overall had a great experience, with a few minor drawbacks. Positives: The location is fantastic—just one block from the beach and in a very walkable area surrounded by great restaurants and bars. The hotel itself offers solid amenities, including a small but relaxing rooftop pool with a bar. One of the highlights of my stay was dining at Orange Blossom, the on-site restaurant. The food was excellent, and I’d highly recommend checking it out even if you’re not staying at the hotel. The rooms are well-appointed, apartment-style suites that feel spacious and thoughtfully designed. I also appreciated how quiet the rooms were—perfect for getting a good night’s sleep after a day out. Negatives: That said, I was disappointed by the bed. The listing advertised a pillow-top mattress, but the bed was far from comfortable and fell short of our expectations. Also, for a room that otherwise felt luxurious, the lack of bathrobes was a small detail that would’ve really rounded out a luxurious experience. Additionally, while the room was clean, some of the design choices were lovely but weren’t the most practical for a hotel setting. The cloth-upholstered bed frame, while stylish, showed some staining—fabric furniture can be hard to keep looking fresh in a high-turnover “fun” environment. Similarly, the jute rug added visual texture but proves to be difficult to clean and showed signs of wear. Final Thoughts: Boulan South Beach is a solid choice if you’re looking for a stylish, well-located hotel in South Beach with great amenities and a quieter, more refined atmosphere. Just be aware of a few comfort and design trade-offs. It really is too bad, because Boulan is excellent on so many things and I would 100% go back and definitely recommend this hotel to others… However, the bed quality really brought down the overall appeal. If they can improve that one aspect, this would easily be a top-tier stay in South Beach.

A total ripoff. The “Penthouse Suite” was a tiny room with 3’ on each side of the bed. There was no closet. No place to hang clothing! No chair to sit in. No desk. Nothing! The ad says nothing about the $45/night resort fee they try to charge. Who ever heard of a hotel room with no closet?

Hotel is a great location, lacking in amenities to truly make it feel luxury. Pool is nice but would be nicer if there was pool service.

First room was not very clean. I complained and I received an upgraded room. Second room was ok. Floors looked unwiped and the furniture needed polishing. Room decoration definitely needs work. Overall the entire property needs a deep cleaning or more housekeeping staff. I personally would not book this property again.

What a jewel. Fantastic staff on reception made it a pleasure throughout our short stay. A special mention for Opal, Jocelyn and Thales. The room was palatial and the food and ambiance in the Orange Blossom restaurant was magnificent. Well located, the hotel is perfect for soaking up the Miami Beach feel.
