I'd recommend this hotel for anyone looking to take advantage of a relaxing few days in South Beach sitting poolside / on the beach, and who can do without the glitz of Delano, Lowes, Fontainbleau... Once you get over the fact that the decor / furnishing in the lobby and most rooms is a bit outdated (with the Frank Sinatra... More

Lovely old art deco hotel, the reception area and bar are stunning. But they have a problem, because by today's standards, the bedrooms are too small, and it's strictly one-at-a-time for the bathroom ( which was presumably added later). Whilst there's not much they can do about room size, they don't really have any excuses for the general state of... More

Rooms were a outdated for the money you spend on the hotel stay. Staff & service awesome!

Upon check-in I was assigned a handicapped room. I called the desk to request a room with a bathtub and was told there would be a $50/night upcharge because only oceanside rooms with bathtubs were available. I did not request an oceanside roon, but a bathtub. I was told the upcharge was the only option. I agreed, despite it being... More

Stayed at the National for a night during WMC and while the rooms were a bit smaller the layout of the pool area made up for it. Staff was friendly and the bartenders definitely made you feel welcome.

If you can appreciate 1920s deco architecture and decor, you'll like The National. This is not the uber trendy CSI Miami version of South Beach, although it's location is right in the best part of the strip north of Ocean Drive. The look is older, but well maintained, as long as you understand that 80-year old features all eventually start... More

... its a fantastic hotel. But note, that it is key to select the right room. In the main building, where you have the ocean view rooms you'll feel set back into the 80's. The main building needs renovation and is far to expensive for what it delivers, however, the Cabana Suites are very nice and we can recommend it!... More

As part of a bachelorette party, 6 of us actually stayed in a 2 bed-room. When we learned we could not add a cot to the room, nor were any bigger rooms available, we made do with the linens... The room felt small (but there were 6 of us), with a small bathroom (by any standard), and the furniture and... More

When we arrived at The National, we were greeted warmly and immediately. From that moment on, our every request was treated with urgency. The hotel is a smaller building, and maintains it's historical charm, which is something I very much appreciate. It's super clean, and well arranged for it's size. We walked out to the pool/garden area and were blown... More
