THE JULIA - ADULTS ONLY MIAMI BEACH HOTEL

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!! RED FLAGS and misrepresentation! It has been a nightmare dealing with this “hotel”- contact is truly impossible; there are several phone numbers and none of them are answered regardless of time of day. The facility lies about what is included; unlike what the website says, parking is not included and is 25 dollars a day for a garage down the street, and it has to be requested in advance or you pay 4 dollars an hour including overnight to park in the street! Cleaning fee is stated to be $30 dollars but you are charged $69 after checkout. They do not allow cancellation or change of dates regardless of your circumstance and charge you for the whole stay; absolutely zero flexibility. The rates are also horrible for the value. After reading some other horror stories from this property, I believe I dodged a bullet cancelling even though I am now out 400+ dollars despite all my efforts to get it back after the misrepresentations of this property. Huge red flags here. Save yourself and do not book here!

wonderful customer service, king size bed, spacious room location is surrounded my plenty restaurants, bars, store’s & entertainment The beach is 1 block away… everything is literally walking distance

The place saved me from a disaster at another hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Yes the rooms are small but clean and functional. Restaurants and beach are walking distance and its safe day and night. I will definitely make The Julian hotel my first choice for staying in the south beach area. Once again thank you to the Julian hotel staff.

THIS PLACE IS GHETTO AF! Since we landed and came into the hotel we’ve been dealing with issues from employees. Morning 1: At around 2am-3am we had other tenants get into a fight and yelling through the halls and front. There was banging in the windows and impossible to sleep through. You could imagine how inappropriate this looks for the other hotel guest. I thought this was over and maybe a tenant having a bad day with their significant other…but that wasn’t the case. Morning 2: Around 5am-6am there were more banging of the windows and women yelling in the front and arguing that echoed throughout the hall. This was probably the straw that broke the camels back because we didn’t have one peaceful night and fear for our lives that if we complained these women would try to fight with us (I’ll get back to this later in this review) Why should we as guest have to be afraid to speak up to others who are being totally inappropriate? This is not okay and honestly the worst experience I’ve had in my life staying somewhere that includes the staff AND hotel owner. No security, pretty ghetto at this point and no one around to help guest stay at ease. Same morning after we were up working in the front of the hotel other guest started to complain and ask for a refund to the front desk girl. They said they were afraid to ask people to stop yelling and banging because they were scared that based on their tonality and actions this will only make it worst. She looked to her right to a man and he said “we don’t do refunds but we’ll gladly move you to a different room.” This same evening there was a lady that was sleeping in the front couch. (See picture) I came back after a late dinner and she then had a sheet over her and was sleeping in the front lobby. Like I said, this place is ghetto. So there I am trying to do the exact same thing other guest wanted and I already had my answer from this man who we thought was the manager. A couple of minutes continue and this man turns out to be the owner! Flaunting to his staff how he’s a millionaire and that they are only working until 3 so there shouldn’t be a problem. There’s guest in the front listening to this. My wife sure did as well and they did not care. That’s the owner! This is so inappropriate and I honestly didn’t want to be in this place anymore nor give them anymore money. I had written a complaint to Airbnb and they did nothing. Instead, it was sent to the front desk person who began to knock at my door while I was still sleeping in my underwear and she began to chuckle and smile because clearly I looked like I was out partying the night before and wanted to have a “chat” with me about my message to Airbnb. I have never done this but due to the current events from staff and owner I wish to leave and get as much as I can back from such a horrible stay. She told me that she talked to the owner and her said they can’t refund me because I was asking for most of my money back (I was morning 3 an

We really struggled with where to stay on our first trip to Miami. Definitely picked the right spot. The Julia is in a great location south of Fifth. You can easily walk to the action north of Fifth when you want or stay south for a calmer vibe. We found several great restaurants south of Fifth too. The hotel has been converted to an AirBnB operation only. There are about 40 rooms and everything has been redone. The rooms are clean and efficient with good AC. You do not get a view from any of them but few places offer a view anyway. It is only two blocks from the beach. The staff are around. OST if the day and very friendly and helpful. Parking is off site but close and we had no issues. We stayed for three nights and if we come back to Miami, we will stay here again!
