Riviere South Beach Hotel

Location location location. This was the best place to stay if you’re looking to be near the beach, restaurants, shopping and Espanola way while still staying in budget. This hotel is on a busy street and offers the small quaint hotel vibe. Our room was spacious with two double beds and a futon in the separate living room section. The shower was modern and the amenities were great. We had ac units in both the living room and the bedroom. The lobby lent us beach chairs and towels to take with us to the beach one block down. They offer a complimentary breakfast in the morning and late check out. I have no complaints whatsoever. We were even allowed to check in earlier than the designated time.

Nice staff but this hotel is terrible! The housekeeper have us wet towels, theres no staff all the way until the morning, theres no shuttle like advertised, theres no breakfast like advertised, we had to pick our keys up from a different hotel. To sum it up, we would not be staying here when we come back.

My fiancé and I definitely enjoyed our stay! We stayed post cruise for 2 nights and I say 5 stars because the room was better than what we anticipated and the staff was EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgeable. If you are lucky enough to meet Sebastian, he is simply the best.

With the upgrades and cute/​simple interior design, this place could easily rate as a 4 star hotel. However, underneath the sheets/​covers you realize that the mattress and pillows are super old and really disgusting! I mean they’re still usable but there was a pillow with straight up brown stains all over it! EWWWWWW. That really grossed me out.
Overall, the place was decently priced and the room was a good size. Our group booked two rooms, and for us $ 5 more got us a suite with a living space. That was pretty neat! They also had free breakfast for hotel guests in the lobby in the morning. AWESOME! I think the customer service was a hit or miss. I wouldn’t write this place out if I’m looking for a good deal, but I would definitely think twice about that brown pillow!

Simples, não tem estacionamento e nem local de estacionar para fazer check-​IN. Boa localização. Sem elevador também!

This was the back up hotel from The Delores. It’s nice to be gated for safety reasons and the room we had was nice and spacey. The only draw is there is not a person at the desk after a certain time but it was ok, maid did not clean the room and only replaced one towel. Bathroom stayed dirty, tables dirty, don’t think they took time for the small things that matters, things the customer see. The AC worked the whole time and we had a friendly roach I killed only to be replaced with another so I let him live. Would I come here yeah but really I rather spend the money on a better location with a pool.
Oh $ 100 deposit forgot to say that

I loved my stay at the Rivière! I came here with my friends during Miami Music Week after the RV we were supposed to stay in broke down and we had no where to sleep. Found this place online and it was one of the few that was reasonably priced yet still vacant.
The location is perfect– one avenue away from the beach and within walking distance from lots of restaurants and shops. A cab ride to Club Space only put me out about $ 20 which was much less than what I expected after hearing Miami cab horror stories. The hotel looks more like a colorful villa style apartment building rather than a traditional hotel. Perfect for taking pictures in.
What made this place so great however was the excellent customer service! The guy who checked us in, Romero?, was really helpful and friendly. He was kind enough to upgrade our room to a suite which was FANTASTIC! An awesome kickoff to our Miami vacation! The suite had lots of room for 3 girls and came with a mini kitchen and hot plate which was a big plus for me since i hate spending money out eating. I slept on the couch while my friends got the two double beds in the bedroom. The couch was really comfy! I was also impressed with how many mirrors there were in the suite. Big plus when you’re rooming with a bunch of girls getting ready to party.
The hotel has a really nice gated outdoor area which was a perfect place to chill in the Miami sunshine, gaze at the palm trees, and meet the neighbors. I really like that it was gated since it allowed for privacy– no worries about cops coming by. The hotel was very quiet even though it was in a popular area.
Unfortunately we were only able to stay at the Rivière for 1 night since they were completely booked for Ultra Music Festival. Romero was nice enough however to let us keep our luggage at the hotel after we checked out and use the bathroom in the lobby throughout the day.
Wish I could have stayed longer! I would definitely recommend this place. It isn’t ostentatiously fancy but everything’s comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. Very chill vibe and they have awesome customer service.

My husband and I stayed here this past weekend with another couple. None of us had ever been to South Beach before, so we wanted to be in the middle of all of the action.
We parked at the parking garage on 13^th (one block SE of the hotel) and only paid $ 20.
We arrived early to hit the beach and they ended up letting us check in 2 hours early. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating (they do put a hold on your card of $ 100 deposit). We stayed in room 104, which had 2 queen beds. We found everything to be of decent quality and clean. Again, this is not the Ritz Carlton so it’s not Egyptian cotton sheets, but it was comfortable enough to crawl into after the bars at 4 am. They had a breakfast in the morning; however, we didn’t wake up early enough to check it out. Being only 1 block west of the beach and 2 blocks south of Lincoln was great and worth the convenience of location!
We paid more for this hotel than I would like to admit, however, it was around the holidays and in season for SoBe so all of the hotels were priced around the same for this quality. I did notice when researching hotels that if you go any lower in price, there were a lot of complaints of bugs or being far from the action. I would definitely say it’s worth the splurge on a hotel to sleep in comfort and avoid paying extra for taxis, etc.

I am sorry to say we had a very bad experience with this hotel. We choose it because of the reviews but It was INFESTED with cockroaches. Not worth the price or the lack of parking. I will never come back.

I went to miami for the first time in Mid June. it’s REALLY tough to find somewhere affordable without bed bugs/​dirty/​roach/​bad review issues. this place deserves the affordable/​supreme cake. the service there is amazing. Ramiro (apologies if I spelled his name wrong) is AWESOME. he stayed on top of everything. made sure we had beach towels while we waited for our room to be ready. promised to call us should a room open before check in time. was cordial, sweet, professional, attentive, informative. (so was all of the staff, but HE who we mostly dealt with in particular… AWESOME!) everything was clean, quiet, comfortable, nice, new. I loved it here. designated outdoor space for smoking. close (10 min or less walk to the beach) they cleaned the room daily. super bang for your buck. I’d go back, and definitely glad we made the right choice.

I stayed at this hotel from ⁹⁄₃ — 9÷5÷2013. I live on Miami Beach and needed a place to stay while my condo was under renovation. I was very impressed. It is always a concern when you book a hotel on South Beach that the hotels will be run down due to Spring Break and being a mecca for partying. It was ideally located on Collins Avenue in South Beach. 1 blk away from Starbucks, the beach, and the Art Deco and Ocean Drive, the ocean, and all the bars and restaurants.
The rooms are newly stylish, clean, and I found the staff to be very professional and helpful. The room had 2 comfortable sofas, table for 4, frig, microwave, dishes, large bathroom and 2 very comfortable beds, 2 flat screen tvs, air condition in both rooms.
What a nice treat for our family. As locals we tend to stay away from the excitement of South Beach, but I will definitely stay here again! I loved this place because of the ideal location, cleanliness, space, $, and the fact that it was 1 blk away from the party scene, we could sleep in peace and not be charged an arm and a leg.
As a woman, I felt very safe. I will recommend this hotel to all my family and friends that come to visit Miami Beach.

This place ranges between the 3.5−4 star area. It is Great in terms of location, it is literally around the corner from all of the action on the strip. The customer service is excellent and its pretty quiet at night. however, there were a few things that irked me.
1) Majority of the channels do not work on the television.
2) The towels were dinged. im sure they were washed but the hotel needs to replace them
3) The texture of the sheets were slightly rough
Pretty much its a hit or miss. If you plan to be outside all day and just need somewhere to sleep. then this is the place for you
HOWEVER,
If you are the type that likes to relax in a hotel before you actually go for a night out, you may want to try someplace else.

In the heart of the Art Deco District! Across the street from Ocean Drive! I loved the location! Our room was huge and had a small refrigerator which allowed me to buy a gallon of milk and cereal and save some money dining out. The building is gated and there was always a person working at the front desk, so I never worried about being robbed while I was gone.
Being South Beach, the street was noisy with cars and people and music and I could hear it all inside the room. That’s not their fault, but I’m glad I brought earplugs.
There is no parking so if you have a car, you’ll have to park it in one of the nearby garages overnight for about 20 bucks. (I didn’t have a car so I didn’t have to deal with that.) My only complaint was with the shower: the water got just above lukewarm at best. No matter how long I let it run, the water did not get hot.
I think I got a great value for the price I paid and I enjoyed calling Rivière «home base» while I was in South Beach.
