The 3.5 star Albion Hotel renders the services and advantages according to the price that it charges its customers.

Although the rooms of a 5 star hotel are really voluminous and capacious and surpass those existing in Albion Hotel, customers are nevertheless satisfied with the comfy, cozy and pleasant ambience of the rooms prompted by the wooden furniture, spotlessly white linen and Mediterranean style draperies. This hotel has been the ultimate choice of many visitors flocking Miami and will continue to please others with its superlative location near the beachside and other popular landmarks and its unparalleled and quality service.
