Lovely room + beds, with quiet and effective Air Conditioning! Staff are wonderful + friendly, and the pool is simply dream material! Excellent location near the beach and in central SoBe. I’d strongly advise booking anything but the first floor, as the very, very bizarre idea of a Basement Nightclub means music blasts through the floor and the bass shakes the beds, luckily though staff were wonderful and we were moved to a room on the second floor. Breakfast at Dolce is extremely overpriced, however the service was good and the atmosphere is also very nice. Overall definitely worth a stay whether you’re a couple or travelling with family, the open plan bathroom means you’ll have to ask for a shower curtain, which the excellent staff were happy to provide. The Gale’s best attribute is definitely the wonderful rooftop pool, the water is gorgeous and there’s plenty of shade + ice cold water available. Definitely check that out if you’re planning on staying here!…

I stayed at this located from 6/14 through 6/21 I had the absolute wonderful time. The property is maintained immaculately and it is one block away from Lincoln Road. Everyone who works there from the maintenance to the front desk was professional kind and courteous. The restaurant inside the hotel called DOLCE was excellent and exceptional. The food was fantastic! They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. The hotel even has a lounge in the lower section of the hotel for music (I believe live) with access to further libations once the bar restaurant closes. The roof top pool is maintained well with water towels and umbrellas. All staff at both the hotel and the restaurant work cohesively it is a true well running. I look forward to my next stay at this location. It is centrally located with one block away from the beach. Although this hotel is not beach front they share beach access with the Shelborne Hotel one block away. You merely tell the beach attendant you stay at the Hilton Curio and they offer you two beach chairs complimentary accompanied with towels. If you would like an umbrella that is fee of $25. I would suggest paying cash for the umbrella to avoid additional fees added to your hotel bill. I look forward to going back and staying again in the near future! …

Overall, this was a nice boutique Hilton Curio hotel. The rooms are small, but they had what we needed and we were upgraded to a room with a veranda on the third floor for being Hilton Diamond. I loved the rooftop pool, but with the infinity style it is important to not store anything on the ground/floor. It will get wet! Many people ordered drinks from the bar downstairs which were delivered promptly. It was fun to get the bike cruisers and ride along the boardwalk along Ocean drive. Many hotels offer this amenity and it's a fun way to explore the area. Food from Dolce was good. Breakfast service was slow on day 1 but improved the second day. Drip coffee was fair but espresso based drinks were great! We also checked out the happy hour specials at Dolce and had some yummy craft cocktails at the Medium Lounge. Both were spectacular. …

Gale South Miami Florida. This was the final stop of my six week round the world vacation with my son. The hotel was in a prime location. It was just minutes from the beautiful Florida beach. Access to shops and restaurants was also within minutes from the hotel. The hotel staff were very courteous and helpful. We would highly recommend Gale (Hotel) South Miami Florida to anyone visiting Florida soon. Take care and have a wonderful holiday.

This is a great location in South Beach. The hotel staff and restaurant staff were absolutely the best, professional and friendly! The rooms were small so no more than 2 people or 1 but it served it's purpose.

Fantastic property within walking distance to everything South Beach has to offer. The property is beautifully appointed and quiet. I’d also want to recognize 3 outstanding staff members who went above a beyond. Karolanne and Cornelius at the front desk and Gret who assisted with our bags. Look for them.

What a great stay! Stayed here pre cruise and was blown away by the customer service and accommodations. Was received early by the hotel manager and she took great care to let us know all the amenities. The room was not ready but they took our bags and gave us access to the pool. Pool was beautiful, the right temp and pool side service was a phone call away. Drinks were delicious. Didn’t get to the beach unfortunately but chairs come with the room. Check in was a bit slow after the time we were told we would be ready but Cornelius took care of us. As a Diamond member I was offered an upgrade to a room with a balcony at check in and the room/bathroom was beautiful! Water temp in the shower was way cold in the evening so we took cold showers (refreshing in the heat) but in the morning it restored itself. AC was nice and cold but hallways were warm so be prepped for that temp change. The place smelled amazing at every turn and the restaurant was nice and very convenient. Will be staying here again if I’m in the Miami area. I recommend you give it a shot.…
