rooms: quite small but very stylish design, very comfy beds, thick walls (couldn't hear any other guests), room didn't let much light in due to blacked out bathroom windows and main window facing an ally. very clean rooms.

location: excellent, safe location. 1 min to ocean drive and 3 min to beach. close enough to all attractions but out of the way so its not noisey at night.

staff: very helpful and polite. although when booking the hotel we were told on the internet that parking was € 20 a night when we arrived at the hotel we were told it was €25 and they wouldn't change it. also the valet staff drove our car very fast and crazy. breakfast is €10 a person for continental.

overall a lovely hotel. we would stay here again.

Thanks for the nice days. The hotel is very friendly and perfect. The location on Ocean Drive leaves no wish unfulfilled. And South Beach has its own charm. The staff was always friendly and helpful. I will draw on this wonderful memory for long.

The Impala Hotel was not our original choice.

We had booked La Flora, two doors up the street but they had "bumped" us and sent us to this hotel. We are so glad they did.

This hotel is small with a lovely Italian restaurant at the front that serves good Italian food and have nice and helpful staff who made a cup of tea for my bed-bound wife without any problem. Nice.

The rooms are a delight. Art Deco style, large and well appointed. The beds are very comfortable. Thoughtfully chosen paintings adorn the walls and the bathrooms are big and practical. The housekeeping ladies were sweet and very nice people.

The Impala is only five minutes from the beach and in the heart of South Beach.

The only drawback is the nightclub at the rear of the hotel that, on weekends, pumps out thumping music. Keep the windows shut but its not that loud unless you are a very light sleeper like me.

Don't disregard this hotel because of the nightclub. They hate them too. And all the other good points far way out this small issue.

We highly recommend The Impala Hotel.

This was a wonderful find! Unbelievable rate, so close to everything. We spent only one night on our way to the Keys, but truly enjoyed it. Maggie was so friendly and helpful. Every time we saw her, she had a beautiful smile and a friendly attitude. She offered umbrellas in the rain, offered directions and recommendations, watched our luggage and even walked us to our room.

The room itself was super-charming. Two of us stayed in a king room and had plenty of space, although the closet was tiny. Everything was extraordinarily clean. The whole place had a very European feel, with the half-shower and the way you left your keys at the front desk each time you left the hotel.

The one thing to keep in mind is that the Impala shares an alley with Mansion. It wasn’t noisy and didn’t keep us awake, but we were aware of the “thump” of the music throughout the night. I was happy that I had a white noise app, otherwise it may have been distracting.

Overall, we couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend this hotel. We would definitely stay here again!
