“Best overall in that price range.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

October 2012 was my second stay at the Richmond. My husband and I visit florida every year usually in October. We have stayed at hotels with ratings from 3-5, and the Richmond is the only one we have stayed at more than once. The thing that stood out the most was the staff. Staff was so warm and helpful and so friendly you almost forgot they worked there. I especially appreciate Gustavo the head chef/owner of The Veranda, the little eatery down by the pool. Suggestion try Gustavo's turkey avocado wrap it is to die for. Although I am a beach bum, the pool area was clean, quiet, and inviting. The rooms were clean, although the tub drains are slow. I think this happens in most of these old art deco hotels. The walls also are thin but the place is not noisey. The new manager of the hotel, was always within sight, and very acomodating. My husband works for the Ritz Carlton in NY, so we once stayed at the Ritz C in south beach. We found the staff polite but cold. Who needs that on vacation. We will definitely stay at the Richmond again next year.

Room Tip: Beach bums and pool nuts ask for rear hotel rooms Rooms are small take a suite if avail

“Just what we needed !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Have been to SoBe many times, and many levels of hotels. This one was just what we needed... nice, clean, with a pool, and direct beach access... and a very good value. Upon arrival we were genuinely welcomed at the door, and the front desk. And, lucky to get an upgraded room.
Great location, nice pool, warm spa pool, and great to walk out the back to the beach. For this time of year, a great combination of ocean time and pool time (ocean was warm, but air cool, so great to just head back to the warm spa.
Nice and polite pool service, no pressure, but we definitely enjoyed being spoiled at times by ordering poolside.
Short walk to everything on Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive.
Completely enjoyed the place, and the retro-real-look.
Would go back in a heartbeat.

Room Tip: Go superior, not standard room.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012 via mobile

Booked the hotel on Hotwire and were allocated the Studios. After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor we were dreading staying there! We paid £52 a night which for Miami is an affordable price.. The studios are located a block away from the main hotel on a back road but very close to Lincoln Road which has an array of shops and restaurants.

The studio itself was actually ok although the utilities are a little out dated. The only negatives were there was no working safe, no Internet (although we managed to pick up wifi from elsewhere) and we were visited by a cockroach in the middle of the night which was not a pleasant suprise. But this didn't put us off as have experienced this in many ground floor self catering apartments in Europe! Think it may have just been a one off as once rid of the little critter we had no more unwelcome visitors!

The studios have use of all the hotel facilities which is good. The pool area is really pleasant and the service was great!

If you are just wanting cheap accommodation with no thrills but use of a pool then this is a great choice. On our trip we stayed in 2 other hotels 2 1/2 star and a 3 1/2 star which we paid a lot more for and this was definatly the better choice!

If you are staying in the hotel then don't let this review put you off. The studios I think is the budget option and if travelling to Miami on a budget again then would stay here!

“Great time @ The Richmond.. wonderful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I just recently spent nearly a week at The Richmond with my wife and experienced a great time the staff was wonderful, the hotel was clean and Mr. Yellanis was extremely helpful ( I hope I spelled correctly) Prior to checking in to the Richmond I read some reviews of this hotel and some where not that great, but after staying at The Richmond I see that those reviews where just untrue or the hotel has changed drastically. The GM Stuart runs a nononsense ship with his staff and in return they offer a 5 star hospitality rating to their guest.. The location is great, the pool is amazing, the staff is polite and helpful. I recommend the Richmond to everyone that has been to southbeach atleast once already so they can really appreciate a great hotel.. Even though I would have loved to have the ocean view room it looked amazing from pool, My wife and I still had a wonderful room.. I will return again thank you Stuart and Richmond Hotel.
Mr. Yellanis thank you for such great hospitality and many blessings to you and your family.

“Art Deco Hotel with stylish lobby, but don't come if you plan to spend much time inside”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

The location is pretty good, you are on Collins Ave and only a block away from the beach. The hotel charges $35 per day for valet parking (so high!) but you don't really have any other options. The lobby is stylish, the staff were friendly, the pool and veranda were nice, the rooms were cute and roomy with cable flat screen tv, but the bed was not very comfortable. We tried to call room service in the evening and were told they only offer it for breakfast and lunch, which I thought was a little odd. We chose this hotel based on location and price and for those two reasons I would recommend, but I would not recommend if you plan to spend much time in your room or want anything luxurious.
