Reviews and Ratings
My stay at The Raleigh at the end of May 2017 was comfortable with very nice decoration and a decent-sized room at discounted rates. The service was excellent, though there were some areas where improvements could be made. The location, while convenient, showed signs of aging but being close to the ocean and pool area on South Beach was a great bonus. The dining options, especially around the pool and at breakfast, were satisfactory. Overall, the hotel provided a good value for money experience.
I stayed at The Raleigh at the end of May 2017, and I found the experience quite enjoyable. The rooms were a decent size, slightly larger than similar properties, making it a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch with very friendly and helpful staff, truly deserving a 5-star rating. The location was a great bonus too, being on South Beach and near almost everything in Miami Beach. The dining experience was not included in the room rate but had some great options, especially around the pool. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were very clean and well looked after, but I was disappointed by the high prices, especially for drinks and food. Breakfast for a family of four cost around $100, which I found excessive. The service was mixed—while I appreciated being assisted with my luggage, I found it annoying at times when the staff seemed busy and inaccessible. The location was fine, near most places in Miami Beach, but could use some attention. The dining experience was very expensive, and the options were limited, resembling tea or coffee and a croissant or muffin. Despite these drawbacks, the beach access with helpful staff was a real highlight. The facilities were outdated, the hotel fees were high, and the carpets were dirty. Overall, a stay at this hotel was a bit overpriced for what was offered, but the beach experience and helpful staff stood out as positives.
Sitting by the pool was so relaxing at The Raleigh at the end of May 2017. The rooms are super charming and well-equipped, but not super large or luxurious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, making the service feel like perfection. The location on Miami Beach was a great bonus too, but needs attention as it is showing its age and is crumbling in parts.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location and cozy rooms. The staff was friendly, but the dining options were a bit expensive. The facilities were good overall, but some areas need updating.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but lacks luxury and could benefit from updates. Despite the outdated furnishings, I would consider booking a stay here again. The service was subpar, somewhat inaccessible, and not up to par for the price paid. The location, despite some aging parts, provides a hidden oasis feel away from the main street, making it exceptional for a peaceful tropical paradise experience. Dining options were limited, especially around the pool and at breakfast, with basic offerings like tea or coffee and pastries. The facilities are in need of attention but still offer some amenities for a reasonable price.
The hotel has its highs and lows. The rooms are super charming and well equipped, making me very comfortable, but they are extremely old and unkempt with disgusting concrete floors and furniture from the 70s. The service knew until two days before my stay was a little annoying, and SBE management needs improvement. The location is a mix of paradise and showing its age, hidden from the busy street yet in need of attention. The dining experience was like tea or coffee and croissant or muffin, which was a bit repetitive. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.
I felt like I was in a tropical paradise at this hotel, hidden from the busy street, with a view that was ocean view and a corner so I had two views - just beautiful! The rooms were impeccable and had the outdoor shower and the bubble bath, even though they were fairly small, they were stylish and light.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful and underwhelming experiences. The rooms were impeccable and amazing, especially with the outdoor shower and bubble bath, but on the downside, they felt old and unkempt with outdated furniture. Despite being disappointed for the price paid, the overall experience was not super large or luxurious.
I had a memorable stay at the hotel, with impeccable room features such as the outdoor shower and a cozy bubble bath. The room had a nice view, great AC unit, and a fan to keep me comfortable, although the lighting could have been stronger. The hotel provided a mix of great and not so great experiences.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were super charming and well-equipped, with a beautiful ocean view and even two different perspectives from the corner room. However, the decor was a bit outdated, and the prices for drinks and food at the hotel were quite expensive, with breakfast for four costing around $100.

Sitting by the pool was relaxing, but the rooms are extremely old and unkempt with disgusting concrete floors and furniture from the 70s. However, the discounts offered make it more shabby than chic.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although looking glamorous, felt more like a Motel 6 quality stay. The service was friendly, but at times, inaccessible. The location was fantastic, providing a great escape from the Vegas chaos, yet the dining options were pricey. Overall, a decent stay with some notable drawbacks.
The hotel had mixed aspects, with some positives like the beautiful ocean views but also drawbacks such as old and unkempt rooms with outdated furniture from the 70s. The service was hit or miss, with moments of professionalism and courtesy mixed with instances of being rude and unhelpful.
