Staff are pleasant but some rooms have no fresh air so it is only natural that there is an unpleasant odour that lingers. Bathrooms need a good clean and the ones we saw are very neglected. Location is excellent but noise travels down long hallways. I would NOT stay here again.

Stayed at Ocean Five for 2 nights (Thursday and Friday nights). The hotel is located in a great location within walking distance from all the beach, bars and restaurants on Ocean drive. Check in process was ok it took a bit of a wait as there was only one person at the front desk. The hotel has parking for $25/day... More

our room smelt of stale urins and boiled cabbage. Bedding was stained and worn. Bathroom needed a good scrub. Staff were friendly, bathroom was ok.

It is probably my fault to stay there during Spring Break and to expect to get sleep. Of course I didn't get any.... The bad review ist for the management for not stopping the room sale to any of the European tour opererators that do not know about Spring Break. We pais a lot od money for a flight to... More

I read mixed reviews about this hotel.Our experince was not the best. Our rooms were on the second floor of the same building as the reception desk.The lobby is pleasant enough as were the reception staff. No lift, so cases had to be carried up a narrow staircase.

Most of the reviews for this hotel were not great - apart from a few here and there, so I was concerned at the time of booking. The overall look of the reception area was good and all the staff that we... More

It is really hard to know where to begin. The website gives misinformation and untrue, representative photos. The first room offered to us the window was falling in, second room stunk horribly, third and final try our room was dark and dingy with big shutters on the windows to block out the buildings 4 feet away and ALL nature light....

The only thing this hotel has going for it is its location - right across the beach and close to restaurants and shopping in the South Beach strip. Even with the great location, I wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone. Our room was furnished with roughly finished dark stained ranch style furniture that you would find in Mexico. We never...

We stayed here for 2 weeks in June 2010 - ages ago but having seen some of the bad press it gets am keen to retrospectively review the hotel. Location is amazing, short walk from anywhere you want to be in south beach. Room was lovely, massive bed and big bathroom with walk in shower - the air conditioning is... More
