Kasa El Paseo Miami Beach

We only stayed one night but we really enjoyed it. Modern check-in right in the heart of the action and overall, a great location in Miami Beach.

The room was spacious and the shelves were very practical, which I appreciated. However, it faced a famous street, so I could hear noise even at night and had trouble falling asleep.

The rooms were very modest and small. We had a room facing the courtyard, which meant it was always dark, but on the upside, it was quiet. The mattress was comfortable, and the bedding was good, but the TV didn't work. The cleaning situation was confusing – you had to find staff and ask for the room to be cleaned, as there's no reception desk. There's also no elevator, which makes carrying heavy suitcases up the stairs a problem. On the positive side: it has a great location on a pedestrian street with restaurants; no critters were found in the room; there's a kettle; and two sun loungers are provided at the beach (an umbrella costs $25 a day); plus, there are small discounts at some restaurants.

Great studio, perfectly located near Ocean Drive. The bedding was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. The digital check-in process was super convenient. The only minor drawback was that the shower temperature was a bit tricky to adjust, but that's a small detail.

The location was great, close to the beach with lively restaurants, which was really enjoyable. It was a shame that there was no reception and I had to call to get the room key and entrance key numbers, as they weren't sent via email in advance. It would have been even more troublesome if I didn't understand English.

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's not one single building, but rather spread out like a district. If your room isn't facing the street, it's actually completely quiet. You can just step out and find the most charming street-side restaurants. The beach is only a 10-minute walk away, and there are some really great coffee shops nearby (especially the one with avocado toast!). The room was a bit small for a large suitcase, and the water pressure for the shower on the first floor was a bit low. Oh, and there's no heating. Despite these points, I still really liked it. Finally, it's self-check-in, so if you have any issues, make sure to contact them via email right away, because there's genuinely no one on site. It's easy to just stand outside feeling confused, but a quick call will clear things right up.
