Abae Hotel

We stayed for 2 nights of a two week road trip. Two rooms, both were fabulous. It's lovely to have a separate living area, and the balcony was great! Lovely modern, clean throughout, great sound system, and the pool on the 6th floor was an amazing bonus! Would highly recommend. The staff on reception were lovely too, so helpful with advice and recommendations. There is no bar or restaurant, but there is somewhere you can buy breakfast, smoothies etc, attached to the hotel. It took us around 15/20 minutes to walk to Collins, and a few more to South Beach. The Spanish area for dinner was no more than 15 minutes either - amazing restaurants to choose from. All in all a great choice. The only slight bugbear was the high charge of $37 per night for valet parking. The highest I think we've paid so far. But the service was good.

We had a spacious apartment with a full size fridge, dishwasher, oven and microwave. Great bathroom and bedroom with lots of storage. A quiet location but on tram route with a Whole Foods supermarket nearby, restaurants and a park. Overall wonderful would certainly stay again.

Lovely hotel. Small and friendly. It’s a hidden gem. Jennifer at the front desk was amazing. She went out of her way to make sure we were okay. Anything we needed help with, she was on hand to assist. Her hospitality was second to none. Always had a smile on her face and was very friendly. Great customer service

Not for self Catering nor Family friendly. Limited self catering: we booked based on the Hotels.com recommendations, but it does not have any cooking apparatus apart from a microwave. When we asked at the concierge we were told the smoke alarm will not allow to have any cookers... Not Family Friendly: during the week it is relatively quiet (you are still in SoBe), but over the week end it was a nightmare. Friday we were awaken at 1.15 AM by extremely loud music from the room above us, took 4 telephone calls and a personal visit to the concierge to have that stopped 60 minutes later. We spoke with the manager on duty the next morning, hoping that they would instruct the other guests on noise policy, but Saturday was even worst: around 1.00 AM loud music from one of the rooms above us, at 3:00 AM people chanting and dancing on the balcony on the room below us for 35 min, and finally at 6:00 people returning from bar and deciding to have an after party in another room in the floor above us. The night manager acted promptly but once you are awaken there is not a big chance you can go back to sleep. Sunday night we were only awaken "once" by loud music at around 1:30. No compensation was offered to us at any point and actually one of the employee commented that the "you are in SoBe, what do you expect". We expect the hotel guests to behave according to good sense and hotel policy on noise in antisocial hours. On the positive note: the cleaning team did a great job every day.

5 minutes walk closer to the beach and this would be a perfect hotel. Staff are excellent, very friendly and excellent local knowledge with unbiased recommendations as to where to eat. Very modern, clean and comfy.
