Very poor

Disliked: No Hot water for the entire stay (6 nights) My wife had several bites on her skin by ?.

Superb

Good, very clean un-manned property...

Liked: Very clean property situated at the south end of Miami Beach (2nd Street) Airport flyer express bus stops 2 mins from property and costs $2-3 to/ from the airport. Whilst unmanned, all codes worked well and queries were promptly responded to by text. Excellent communication throughout. Bed very comfortable/ spacious room. Complimentary sun loungers/ beach towels offered on south beach. No crockery / cups/ utensils supplied, no lift in the building and no-onsite facility to store luggage.

smelled like an old basement,...

Liked: The location was the only thing I liked about this hotel.
Disliked: It smelled like an old basement, they come clean your room every two days which is disgusting and cheap!! Nobody spoke English!! NO FRONT DESK!! No EXTRA TOWELS JUST TWO WHICH IS NASTY!!

Second Stay – Still a...

Liked: This was my second stay at Casa Sofi, and overall, we chose to return because we really appreciated the experience. The location in SoFi (South of Fifth) is unbeatable — a calm, tree-lined neighborhood with a serene atmosphere, away from the noise of South Beach and close to the ocean. There’s also a convenient public parking lot nearby. The hotel is a tastefully renovated Art Deco building, and the rooms are clean, bright, and have well-sized bathrooms. The housekeeping schedule (every two days with towel changes) works well, even though it’s not clearly stated during booking. Communication with the hotel via WhatsApp is fast and responsive.
Disliked: Despite the responsive service, I found the staff somewhat inflexible with guest requests. As a returning guest, I kindly asked for an upgrade, which was declined. I also requested a late checkout, which was unfortunately not accommodated — this was a bit disappointing. The hotel could also improve by offering street parking permits for guests. The shower still leaves much to be desired: very low water pressure, slow and inconsistent hot water, and a clogged showerhead make for a frustrating experience. Additionally, having basic kitchenware in the rooms (such as plates, cutlery, glasses, wine opener, and a toaster) would greatly improve the comfort for guests.

Quiet SoFi Stay with Minor...

Liked: Casa Sofi is located in a perfect spot, right in the heart of SoFi (South of Fifth), which is a peaceful and charming area with tree-lined streets and a relaxing atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of South Beach. The hotel is also conveniently close to a public parking lot. The building itself is a beautifully renovated Art Deco property, keeping its character while offering modern comfort. The rooms are bright, clean, and feature well-sized bathrooms. Housekeeping is provided every other day, including towel changes — this wasn’t mentioned clearly in the booking, but it worked out well.
Disliked: It would be great if the hotel could offer street parking permits (resident permits) to make parking easier for guests. The shower experience was disappointing: the water pressure is very low, it takes a while for hot water to come through, and when it does, the temperature is unstable. Additionally, the showerhead seems clogged, so water doesn’t flow properly, making showers uncomfortable. The rooms would also benefit from having some basic kitchen amenities, such as plates, cutlery, wine openers, glasses, and wine glasses. A toaster and a Nespresso machine would also be a useful addition.

Exceptional

Amazing, comfortable and easy

Liked: It was in the center of Miami Beach, the room was fantastic and it was staff every day in case you needed something, they were so pleasant and kind all the time. Also the smell of the property was so nice.

Would not stay again

Liked: Clean, modern, location is great in south beach, safe location, felt safe and secure in the room.
Disliked: There is no hot water in the shower which is a deal breaker for us! We told them many times and they kept saying maintenance had come in to fix it but every time we tried the shower there was no hot water, it was just luke warm and very unpleasant. We also heard other guests complaining that the shower was not hot. When we turned up there was no wifi, however they assured us this was a service provider issue & the wifi did work after 2 days. On our last night some people woke us up with music and talking from 2-5am. Due to this being a self service property, there is no one to complain to downstairs, we text the property manager via WhatsApp however as it was in the middle of the night nothing could be done as they were also asleep. I appreciate this is not the properties fault but note that walls are thin and not soundproof. We would not stay here again.
