Ocean Five Hotel - Miami Beach

The hotel was in a great location, about a block from the beach and right on Ocean Drive. I wasn't really in my room all that much so I didn't really mind it but my sister felt the room was not up to par. Her bed made loud creaking noises too. Overall it was just ok for the price.

Will definitely go back in the near future. Had a great time.

Nice Staff, clean rooms, close to South Beach. I did not need to drive anywhere since the location was great. Clean Hotel!

Easy stay, the provided towels for the beach and recommendations on things to do.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed at Ocean Five over a weekend to visit with friends and to see a Marlins game. We found the hotel easily and the staff was very pleasant. The location was perfect! I was concerned it might be a bit too far south as we had never stayed that far south on the beach before. We were pleasantly surprised that it was still extremely close to all that […] South Beach has to offer without the noise from South Beach.The only downside that we could mention were two things, first the parking is a bit pricey and is offered for self and valet parking at the same cost. It was very unorganized and it seemed that the valet wasn't concerned with retrieving the vehicle in a timely quick manner. Secondly the shower head in the room, while it looked very nice and clean, we found it's look outweighed it's usefulness. The shower was one of those overhead rainfall type designs and was not very effective for getting a good shower in. Overall we found Ocean Five to be a great place to stay! Read more

First, the hotel staff was very friendly and showed good attention to detail, especially the Manager. The hotel was very clean and I liked the rustic wood and marble room decoration. Location was also good, one block from the beachfront park. My compliments, however, stop there. We did not sleep well all week. The bed was an inner spring mattress on […] a wooden platform. If they don't have box springs, they should buy good foam mattresses. The parking was a rip off. They offer self parking for $10 to the public, but require guests to pay $25 for Vallet. The Vallet consisted of parking your car in front of the hotel and walking to the parking lot to give the "Vallet" your key. When you wanted you car, you retrieved it yourself after getting your key from the front desk. This ain't Vallet. Adding insult to injury, they charge tax on top of that. Tax on parking? Nickel dime petty. Read more

The room was clean and comfortable but no frills. You had to go through the restaurant to get to our elevator but this was no problem. The restaurant has good italian food at a reasonable price. The hotel is not in the center of the madness that is Miami Beach but within close walking distance. If I were to ever return I would stay here again. Good […] value. Read more

Get customer Sevice. I can't wait to stay again. The hotel was in a great location. However it didn't have an elevator and the view from the room was horrible.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Best location every - quite and yet right on South Beach. Parked and did not have to move my vehicle all weekend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I enjoyed the location but the room had a smell that you got use to (to much wood in the room in held moisture). No coffee machine in the room. And if you do stay there(i would recommend it if u want a cheap location on south beach) and are only staying for 24 hours or less park in the garage on collins and 5th. paying 25 is INSANE.

Was pleased for the price, good loaction , nice staff, big room.

WE ONLY RESERVED A SINGLE BED. UNEXPECTEDLY, MY DAUGHTER AND HER BOY FRIEND ASKED TO JOIN US. THE HOTEL CHANGED OUR ROOM TO A DOUBLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. STAFF WAS VERY POLITE. HOTEL WAS VERY CLEAN. AN OLDER BUILDING BUT EVERYTHING IS WELL KEPT.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel was a very comfortable stay. Always smelled so clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. At the end of the strip on Ocean Drive, but in complete walking distance to the center of the area. The ocean was across the street. The beds were very comfortable to sleep in. All the products used in the bathroom were environmentally friendly and sustainable. […] I would stay at this hotel again.

Thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. We were given the suite overlooking Ocean Dr. Comfortable bed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I've stayed at Ocean Five on three occasions in the past four years. The service at the front desk is superb. The rooms are small though, so if you are traveling with a family it will be a tight squeeze unless you book a Suite instead of a basic room. There is a FREE continental breakfast at the adjacent restaurant. I was slightly disappointed with […] it though. It only had slices of bread that you can toast and apples in addition to the orange juice and coffee. If you want anything more, you have to order from the menu which requires an additional cost. I've had continental breakfasts at other hotels that included a few more items such as muffins, pastries and bananas. Read more

Great location, across the st. from beach, a few blocks away from nightlife noise. Comfortable rooms; old TV but you don't go to SoBe to watch TV. We stayed in one of the lower priced rooms, which meant that for you to get to the room, we had to walk outside to the building next door, walk through a restaurant, go up 5 steps, walk through a door to […] finally arrive to the room; if you don't mind this, it is a good deal. I'm guessing that higher priced rooms are located at building were you check in. Read more

Good location, near the beach and the nigth time in Miami Beach. There is basically no interest in receiving any kind of claim at the front desk. They are nice but do not deliver. Youngters staying and yelling at 4 AM, nothing you can do about it!. I wonder hwy they keeo a copy of you credit card if everything is paid!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

I do not recommend anyone this hotel. They forgot to clean the room once, location is so so as well. Breakfast is poor as well.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel its s good alternative to some others at s beach. The price is cheaper. But think what you could expect from any cheap hotel ;) it has a great location and good only for singles or students or some body who doesn't care about service and cone to Miami for party.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very nice hotel. Excellent location! Very nice people. Good internet. Good bed. Have to walk a bit to get ice and having a better TV and office /desk space would be nice but not a big deal for me. Excellent experience for me on business, and Ocean V is a great deal for the price! I will be coming back.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The service is very good and the ubication is perfect, only one block from the beach and half block from the most beautiful restaurants in ocean drive. We spent a nice place. thanks.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was one of my worst hotel experiences ever. I had a room 6 steps up from the lobby, A/C that only worked sporadically, an awful room without a sofa or a dresser, and maid service that came 1 time during my 5-night stay. This is a sad sad place that is more expensive than the nice hotel I have stayed at across the street for less.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location a block from the beach and in easy walking distance to South Beach attractions. But the hotel itself is nothing special - just okay at best and probably unacceptable to some. Room was spartan and but a decent size and generaly clean. The exceptions were the nasty comforters on both beds. I wouldn't even recommend that they be washed - […] burning would be a better choice. Lobby and common areas were clean. Quite a bit of street noise at night - partiers yelling and bus & taxi horns honking. WiFi was available but I didn't try it. Skip the included breakfast: it was only juice, Italian white bread and a toaster, and whole oranges (which were too frozen to peel) and whole bannanas. Only stay at this place for its location and just to have a bed and a shower. If you want a room nice enough to spend time in or a reasonable breakfast look elsewhere. Read more

The lobby and convenience of the hotel are its best attributes. The breakfast is a joke and the rooms definately have an odd musky smell to them. Read the rest of the reveiws and keep looking.

Loved Karla! The front desk woman was great. The hotel is in a great location and the condition of the room was good. Air conditioning didn't work well in 70 degree weather and bed was very uncomfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We got a last minute reservation at this hotel on New Years Eve, and we were pleased with the property. The location can't be beat, right at 5th and Ocean Drive in South Beach, allowing us to walk to all the restaurants and clubs. The front desk staff were incredibly nice and very accomodating (letting us get into our hotel room at 11am vs. making us […] wait till the regular 3pm check in time). And the room itself was spacious, clean and well kept. I would definitely stay here again for a getaway to South Beach. Read more

Note to self, if Hotel is located next to a tatoo parlor, don't book! Room was horrible, checked in and left immediately! One of those places that never puts any money into the property but continues to bank on being across the street from the beach. It's further south then where we wanted to be in South Beach. Next time will find something a mile north […] around 17th street near the Delano and other nice properties. Read more

If you want to hang out on Ocean drive, and don't want to bust your budget, the check out Ocean Five. It is conveniently located right near South Beach's Ocean drive beach front, and provides a comfortable, yet modest stay. A great deal for the price, and breakfast is even included!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Ocean Five Hotel is located in a very great location; very close to the Beach and to Night life area. Front desk people are very kind, friendly and nice. Hotel/Rooms conditon are poor. Small rooms, not so claen; no AC....poor breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were a little thrown off because the description of the hotel says across from the beach when in fact there is a hotel(the Savoy) between this hotel and the beach. BUT the entrance to the beach was only half a block away so that was no biggie. Our room was very basic. You are there to sleep,shower and then back out on the southbeach streets. Our […] beds would be made and towels changed,but they never swept the tile floors. Odd..... We had gritty sand on the floor so had to keep flip flops on. The bar downstairs was awesome! love... love... loved the staff. Front Desk service was very helpful with information and directions. Not bad for a basic hotel. Read more

Great price for the location. Walking distance to the beach, nice restaurants, and places like Mangos, Clevelander, etc. Three minutes in taxi to clubs like The Mansion, Cameo, etc. Hotel service excellent. Next time I'm staying here.

O5 is for low maintenance, beach loving folk! The rooms are simple and homey and have the basic necessities. The front desk crew are helpful and attentive. The breakfast staff is awesome- you get $5 off the breakfast menu per hotel guest and it's simple and yummy! The location is perfect if you love the beach. Simply cross the street and you ate there. […] It's close enough to go use the bathroom in your room if you want to avoid the nasty public beach restroom. You have tons of choices of food- you can walk down Ocean Dr about 7 blocks before heels start to hurt ;) Plenty of food options, and if you forgot anything Walgreens is on the corner (best Walgreens I've ever seen- 2 stories! Has EVERYTHING!). O5 is also walking distance to Big Pink, Nikki Beach, China Grill, B.E.D and Mansion. Read more

The hotel was located right in the heart of South Beach so the location is great. The parking is an additional charge per day, no pool, no view to the beach due to the buildings across the street blocking the view, and most important of all the bed is EXTREMELY ROCK HARD!!! This is probably the worst bed I have ever slept on (or at least tried to).

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I did not feel safe in the rooms by myself. Therefore, I double booked at a hotel down the street - 2 blocks down, Sense. Sense was much nicer than Ocean Five. Ocean Five employees were nice and friendly. However, the hotel was old, gloomy. It was more like a old bed and breakfast type of spot. I would recommend trip advisor instead of the hotel.com […] search. Read more

The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The parking is normal South Beach "over-the-top" expensive but everything is expensive in South Beach. This hotel is very dated; but clean. Centrally located on South Beach within a walking distance to lot of local places. We used the taxi service (suggested by the staff) to get back & forth in Miami. Our "view" […] was of the wall but the price was worth it. If your looking for a up-to-date chic hotel; this isn't the place to stay. But if your looking for friendly staff and a clean room at a good price on South Beach- this is your hotel. Read more

Fantastic location, 10 yds from main strip on ocean drive, friendly efficient staff, cheap parking on site, free toiletries and a basic breakfast of toast and preserves. Rooms on the small side however 3 of us had no issue. Bathroom adequate however only downside was the noisy aircon however needed regardless. Would return should we revisit Miami again […] in future.

When I undid the bed I found a huge bug in the center. There was an inch of dust on the mirror and light fixtures. The tv was small and the picture did not work properly the image was distorted. The window coverings were made of wood and outdated. The hotel was noisy both indoors and outdoors. I actually checked out the following day and I was supposed […] to stay there for 11 nights.

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. The bedroom corridor has no soundproofing whatsoever with hard floors and bad lighting.There […] were no door closers on the bedroom doors.The bedrooms had hard tiled floors and wooden shutters.Little sleep was had with people returning to their rooms late at night (4am, in one case), doors slamming constantly and loud conversations and laughter magnified to shouting levels and footsteps walking up and down the corridor. I would have got more sleep out on the street. The bedrooms,themselves,were both very small,as expected with an old Art Deco hotel but they were clean.The decor is very basic. The dark heavy furniture was too large for the small room. The worst part was the disgusting smell from the air-conditioning unit. We kept ours turned off. Maybe a good clean and a service would solve the problem.Uncomfortable beds and lumpy pillows. The bathroom was more pleasant to be in. The walk-in shower was fine. Although advertised, the bar and restaurant were never open.The continental breakfast is basic but it is included in the price of the room. You can eat this on the verandah alongside the street.On the second day, breakfast was not available until 20 minutes after the published 8 o'clock. Read more

Great location, just about the only good thing to say. Very smelly basic room with not much to look at outside the window. Air conditioner in room very noisy while sleeping at night. The hotel needs modernising but the art deco features was nice. First day the toilet flush didn't work & when they finally sent someone he couldn't speak a word of English, […] so a simple repair job took ages to fix. T.V remote did not work either, so they gave us one that only changed channels & volume control. Breakfast was a joke, some bread, coffee & bananas. We had ours at a cafe near by. Don't rent a car recommended by the hotel. We did & the one they provided us was a death trap. We returned the car & opted for a reputable company. Be warned?? They are called Miami Beach Rent-A-Ride. The hotel obviously gets a kick back from them. Overall I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you only want to stay for the location. Read more

Lite, intimt hotell rett ved South Beach - max 2 min gange til selve stranda. Hotellets resepsjonister var superhyggelige, kom med mange gode tips/ råd og hadde svar på alt vi lurte på.

Positiv: Das Hotelpersonal war zu jeder Zeit sehr nett. Das Hotel liegt sehr nahe an der abendlichen Ausgehmeile und nur zwei Minuten vom Strand.

Die sehr alten und mittlerweile dunklen […] Fliesen sind groß-offenporig entsprechend ist der Schmutz der vergangenen 100 Jahre darinnen gefangen.

Hotellet så rigtig godt ud på billeder - og med continental morgenmad inkl midt på ocean drive var det lige til. morgenmad var dog så meget sagt, lidt løbende rester af ristet toastbrød med smør og et udvalg af 3 mikropakker af den samme marmelade til samtlige 50 der sloges om det, suppleret af lidt gamle pandekager - thats it. hotelværelser der var […] slidte, med skum stykker (bemærk jeg ikke sagde en madras) fra nærmeste lager hal, og med shampoo etc. fyldt på genbrugsflasker hvor mærkaterne er så slidte at det bliver lidt ulækkert - så er toppen nået. men fedt sted i miami beach :) Read more
