More Than a Hotel Stay — UMA House Makes You Feel Taken Care Of
Pros:

UMA House in South Beach exceeded my expectations in every way. The property has a boutique charm that perfectly captures the energy of South Beach while still feeling like a true retreat. The rooms were nice and comfortable, the rooftop pool is a great spot to unwind, and the location is hard to beat — just a short walk to the beach, surrounded by great restaurants, and conveniently close to the free trolley that makes getting around South Beach a breeze.

From the moment I arrived, the front desk team set the tone — attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming throughout my entire stay.

What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional effort made by Director of Operations Rachel Louis and her team after my checkout. I had accidentally left a pair of sneakers at the hotel, and without hesitation, Rachel and her team went above and beyond to ensure they were returned to me. That level of care and follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the culture she's built at UMA House.

If you're looking for a South Beach stay that combines a great location with genuine hospitality, look no further. I'll absolutely be back.

A nice stay in Miami Beach
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at Uma House for one night. This would be a 5 star review except for the lower quality room experience. Room 103 felt like it was an after thought: the bed wasn't perfectly made up, we had to have some maintenance on the TV and it was noisy on the first floor and next to the restaurant. Other than that, it was a 5 star experience. The rooftop pool and bar was very nice and relaxing, Cafe Americano was perfect for breakfast (the vouchers were a big hit) and later for a late lunch. We loved the access to the beach and the accommodation from the staff to allow us to enjoy the beach until we left for an afternoon flight. We would stay again but would ask for a room on a higher floor.

Best service EVER
Pros:

To Whom It May concern:

I am emailing you today to express my utmost gratitude for the incredible service provided by your staff during my recent stay. Specifically, I would like to thank Pear and Priscila from the front desk and Yunior who was on maintenance on the evening of last Saturday, March 28.

After arriving at Uma House and checking in I entered my room #103 to discover that there were some issues. First, the fridge was not working. This was a problem since I had brought perishable food. Further, the television was not operating. Finally, it seemed the HVAC control was also not working.



I went to the front desk and spoke with Pear and Priscila to make them aware of my situation. They sent Yunior to my room who immediately began to try and rectify all of those issues. For over 2 hours he reported back to the ladies on what he was and was not able to repair. Eventually, all three of these staff members actually came to my room and did whatever they could to address and document the problems. One of the ladies even used my phone and computer and called the manager to get the television operational just so I could watch some news updates. They did not leave my room until they did absolutely everything they could to rectify my situation. They also made sure I was provided with a partial refund which was very fair. Finally, they upgraded me to a new room the following day for the remainder of my stay.

Last Saturday was a very long and frustrating day of travel for me. I was tired and short on patience. I was no doubt not in the best of moods. To me, this made their patience, service and hard work even more meaningful.



I have stayed at Uma House before and my experience was wonderful. I have to say that this time was even better given the standard of service and care provided by your staff members – Pear, Priscila and Yunior. Exemplary services reveals itself not when things are running perfectly, but rather when things go wrong.



I have NEVER received that kind of patience and honest concern for my own comfort and satisfaction.



Thank you again and thanks to these fantastic staff members for another great experience at Uma House.



If you wish, let me know your preferences for where to leave a review and I will certainly post a 5 star testimonial.



Best Regards,



Sean Kelly

Improve Front desk staff communication and Housekeeping daily service.
Pros:

I like the hotel building is new and renovated. Pool area was nice, Cafe Americano breakfast was delicious. Close proximity to Lincoln Road and the beach.

Cons:

Staff, it would better if staff would confirm duration of the stay, room type, payment arrangements and breakfast vouchers. I had to confirm all this info myself and ask her or breakfast vouchers, it should have be giving to me with room keys, I should not be asking where is my breakfast vouchers. They should have notes in their system. Communication between stuff members should improve to the guests, specifically about the stuff the guest paid. We did not get a single housekeeping service at all, hotel says it is available everyday like a false advertisement we had ask to refresh towels, bc bathroom shower leaks a lot of water poor design. We had to ask Housekeeping service once around 5 pm since it wss never provided, the lady said she is done for the day and like its not her problem. I understand your shift is over, but you need to relay your management about request, then dont advertise Housekeeping is available during the day. I heard another guest in the hallway begging for Housekeeping service. He had to ask several times perhaps Housekeeping has issues understanding english properly.

Uma House by Yurbban South Beach is Great!
Pros:

I stayed here for four nights while attending a convention in June 2025. I've been intending to leave a review ever since; finally doing it. Just wanted to say that the hotel is fabulous! Small, simple, but elegant and classy. The colorful lobby creates a fun vibe. I was treated well by Pear, Iran and Fabiola! Top-notch rooms and staff, nice restaurant, exciting South Beach nightlife just around the corner. And the convention center is two short blocks away -- important in the heat & humidity!

Adequate for on or two nights.
Pros:

Location. Except for the spring break loud beach parties are very close and loud at night. Clean.

Cons:

No closet, just open hanging for clothes and only 6 hangers, Ikea-like furniture, no lounge chair or couch just a plastic bucket chair. There was no onsite restaurant or services. Only two small water bottles per stay, I was there for 6 nights, and they expected you to refill them from a drinking faucet. You couldn’t even buy water. The bed was made with flat sheets which are a tangle by the time the night is over.
