Reviews for The Betsy - South Beach
Nice stay
I really couldn’t fault the staff – they were very helpful both before our stay and throughout. The hotel itself had a lovely feel to it and a great atmosphere. That said, there were a few things that meant our stay wasn’t perfect. The layout of the building was quite confusing, and it seemed like we were in a different building to the main hotel. To get to our room, we had to take a lift, walk down several corridors, and then go through a fire exit door to reach a small poorly lit area with just three rooms. It felt like a very unusual setup with very dark corridors. The strangest part, which I really didn’t like, was that there was a lift inside our room. It wasn’t for guest use and had been locked with a key, but it was still quite unsettling. I was worried at night that it might suddenly activate and someone could come out, and there was no explanation given as to why it was there. When we went to check out the rooftop pool, it looked nice enough, but getting there felt odd – we had to go up what looked like a parking stairwell. It didn’t feel in keeping with the rest of the hotel, and simple touches like murals or pictures might make it feel more welcoming and less car park like. Staff often handed out cards asking to be mentioned in reviews. While I completely agree that great service should be recognised, it felt a little overdone at times – I was given cards even for very minor interactions. Overall, it was a nice stay with a great atmosphere and friendly staff

The Betsy South Beach -A Must Do!
The Betsy Hotel South Beach does NOT disappoint! I cannot express how fabulous everything was… the service (from the moment we arrived to the minute we left), the ambience, the food, the music, the charm and the quaint decor of the rooms and common areas, exquisite!. The whole experience was amazing and we can’t wait to go back!!! Thank you Betsy!
