Bal Harbour hotel guide. Hilton Hotels hotel in Bal Harbour, Miami

"The hotel was in the center of town, a busy section with plenty of construction all around and good walkability. The guests’ age group is young and the music reflects that. The pool has a section under construction. The suite was spacious but only had one bathroom"

"We booked this hotel as a “splurge” night before heading out on a cruise, expecting a relaxing and comfortable experience. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most frustrating hotel stays we’ve ever had. Our room was placed directly underneath a 24-hour gym something that was never disclosed at booking or check-in. All night long, it sounded like we were beneath a bowling alley. Guests were actively working out and dropping heavy weights onto the floor, creating constant, jarring noise that echoed through the room. What’s most disappointing is how this was handled. I was in contact with the front desk throughout the night via chat, repeatedly reporting the noise above us. At no point did anyone explain that we were under a 24-hour gym and that the noise would not stop. That information would have made a huge difference in how we handled the situation. Around 11:45 PM, we were offered a room change but by then, one of my children and my mom were already asleep, and my youngest had just been woken up by the noise. Moving rooms that late at night was not a realistic solution for our family. We did receive a $100 refund, but it does not come close to compensating for a completely sleepless night and the overall poor experience. This stay fell far below expectations, especially for the price point and how the hotel markets itself."

"Fantastic location. Great Room was spacious with a large kitchen, living area and bedroom. However the room and furniture are starting to show a bit of wear and tear, and sparse/basic furniture on the patio. Rolling shades aren’t blackout so bring a face mask if that’s an issue for you. The rooftop pool was amazing. The gym and free bike rentals were both a great plus. A little pricey but would absolutely stay again if found a room at a good price!"

"The room felt brand new. It was very clean and the air conditioning was perfect. Convenient location and the parking was Great. I loved those kind Caribbean ladies at the front desk. Big ups to the Bahamas and Jamaica ! "

"Nice property but very expensive for food and drinks. It was the start of spring break so alot of RICH kids hanging out. We discovered ants in our Hotel drawers and requested to change rooms. They accommodated us with a suite with a limited up-charge. Great pool area and beach access. Staff was usually very accommodating."

"Location good, room was clean, breakfast included was awful. Not great choice. Same every day. Scrambled eggs, sausages, potatoes. Pastries, bagels and bread for toast, cereal with few other bits. No sliced fruit. Everything was very dry. Could of done with baked beans. Staff were not even serving us. Therefore, no tea, coffee etc offered making dried food hard to swallow. Ok for short stop if not bothered about too many carbs."

"Our room needed a lot of attention. The furniture was dated and significantly scratched up, the drywall by the door in the bathroom door had chunks out of it, and the idea of a frosted glass bathroom door that doesn't latch doesn't seem well thought out. Lastly, while it was nice that beach chairs were provided there was a group on rhe beach playing inappropriate music (personal speakers weren't supposed to be allowed) and used the "N" word repeatedly in their conversation with no regard to the families around them and no one addressed it. We are very disappointed in our experience there."

"We stayed at Kompose Boutique Hotel Miami Airport while in town for a family graduation, and overall the experience was pretty underwhelming. The hotel leans heavily into a very industrial, minimalistic design—concrete walls, exposed ceilings, and a stark aesthetic. While that might appeal to some, it felt cold and lacked any kind of welcoming or comfortable atmosphere, especially for a multi-night stay. The room itself was just okay, but the pillows were honestly some of the worst I’ve experienced at a hotel—very uncomfortable and made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The shower was also disappointing, which added to the overall lack of comfort. Breakfast was an extra $6.99, which wouldn’t be an issue if it were worth it—but it really wasn’t. It’s essentially a lower-quality version of a standard continental breakfast and was not enjoyable at all. The location is another downside. It’s right in the middle of an industrial area near the airport, surrounded by security fencing. There’s no self-parking (valet only), and even staff mentioned being cautious when walking around outside. It didn’t feel like a great or particularly safe area, especially for a vacation stay. Overall, this might work for a quick overnight if you just need a place near the airport, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anything beyond that."
