We were only in town for 1 day before our cruise so we were looking for an inexpensive hotel in South Beach that was clean and close to the beach. We got that and so much more. In my attempt to describe our room I would say it was like an older condo; clean, comfortable with some minor bumps and... More

I liked this place, it has character, and if your expectations are reasonable (this is not a predictable, chain hotel experience!), and if you ask for a quiet room, it is a very reasonably priced hotel in a great location. Spent 2 nights here prior to a trip to Cuba. After reading reviews we asked for a 'quiet' room which... More

First of all, The Clay Hotel is a budget hotel.....great for people travelling on a budget. I was given one of the former hostel rooms which was recently renovated. I was very pleased upon check in to find out my room had a kitchenette, which included a microwave, 2 burner stove, fridge, kettle, toaster, pots & pans, and all dishes... More

The corner room with the wrap-around balcony was a delightful experience! YES it is directly above a Mexican restaurant and across the street from a popular club, so it IS noisy throughout the night. If you are a sleeper, not a party person, consider staying elsewhere. I found the staff very helpful, and the room clean. All things considered, I... More

the standard bedroom was awfull. the bed was not for two people, it made noise when you sat or move. there was a disgusting smell, the a/c made terrible noise. The room was located above an irish pub, that plays loud music every night till late, and next to a school, so we woke up very early in the morning.... More

We had to be relocate to another room because we were above a club. We called the reception and a guy came with the new room... More

Don't expect too much, then you'll be fine. We stayed in a deluxe room (above Tapas y Tintos restaurant), which was very basic but clean. Those people complaining about cleanliness stayed in the standard rooms, or maybe even in the hostel rooms I guess? But anyway, don't get fooled by the pictures on the hotels website, I don't know which... More

If you are looking for a clean hotel, with all the comforts and above all that is in a quiet .... well ....in that case this hotel is not for you!
