The hotel

A combination of two different Art Deco hotels that date back to the 1930s, Ocean Five is fantastically located for all Miami attractions. Family run with a laid-back atmosphere, guest rooms boast stunning Italian marble floors and modern amenities. There's an Italian restaurant on site featuring outside terrace tables and garden lounge, and plenty of top-notch restaurants in the immediate area to take advantage of, as well as some very hip nightlife for those keen to party into the early hours! South Beach is just across the road, a wonderful place to laze away the day.

I was anxious booking here due to some older reviews that talked about the noise ( you can hear everything ) , to the loud air conditioner , to the view of the dirty alley and let’s not forget about the nonexistent Free breakfast. Well , I can say for my family of 4 , we were pleasantly suprised and happy with our stay. We stayed in the room with kitchen and that is in annex hotel on the other side of the parking lot. Spacious and This room type has a fridge and a microwave which was needed as we had to go food and water bottles. Nice roomy shower as well. Beds had foam mattress which wasn’t awful but it did sink in. I think if they get a normal mattress, the place would go up a notch for sure ! We opted for 1st floor as we didn’t want To lug our luggage up soo our view was not great but we didn’t care. You can stay higher and see the other buildings as your view ? The parking lot right next to the hotel was great ! Easy to get your car in and out and there are attendants there to watch over your car. It is a public parking lot and it gets full but there were a few spots open when we came. We just left our car there and walked everywhere. This lot is The top reason I rented this place. Very convenient. Beach was right a a cross the street. You have to rent umbrella and chairs but you do get to use the beach towel Given to you at the front desk. So our building was great and can’t speak for the other two building but I know in the main lobby , there were rooms and then some more rooms upstairs of the small restaurant there. So We arrived on sat and left Monday so we were there at peak days but we didn’t hear anything at night ! You heard Right. Nothing ! The only sounds were at 8 am with some kids running down or up the stairs with their parents. This happened both mornings. Strange. Why so early ? Other times nothing. I was amazed. Not sure if it was because of the room type but In our building it was quiet. The halls and rooms were clean. Only after a day the hall smelled funny so they should spray it down every few hours. Aside from the bed , and hall smell , this place was great. Also 5 th street and below truly is much quieter and this is perfect for us. The other hotels on ocean drive .. they have bars / clubs / restaurants under the hotel. How does anyone sleep ?? The music is super loud and it Doesn’t stop till prob 4 am ? Lord no. I recommend Ocean 5. Read less

We stayed only ONE night; wish it could have been more. Steps to the southernmost point of South Beach where you can see the cruise ships enter and leave the port. Like all low rise hotels, they have a certain charm you'll never experience in the chrome plated hi-rise hotels. Quaint, and no crowded noisy lobby... I mean, if I wanted THAT, I'd… Read more
We stayed only ONE night; wish it could have been more. Steps to the southernmost point of South Beach where you can see the cruise ships enter and leave the port. Like all low rise hotels, they have a certain charm you'll never experience in the chrome plated hi-rise hotels. Quaint, and no crowded noisy lobby... I mean, if I wanted THAT, I'd stay in downtown Miami or NYC. This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a less busy part of Ocean Drive (between 5th and 4th) and less traffic means a lot less noise. Also, the weekend Concierge is superb, friendly and extremely helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan to return very soon. Keep up the good work! This was even better than last time (2019) Only one downside; the coffee shop doesn't open until 8AM (I'm up well before that!) But even with that one minor thing, this is still a hidden gem Read less

Me and my boyfriend had booked to stay here for two nights and when we checked in, it was an easy check in process. We stayed on the top floor and the first night was ok to just get your head down for the night. Even though the walls must be so thin because it was so loud, you could hear everything outside. Everything looked very average and was clean in the room. The second night we were interrupted by a fire alarm around 8pm, which we made our way out the hotel and waited outside to be told nothing and after no staff came out to tell us it was ok, we heard the fire alarm turn off and everyone went back inside. Around 10pm then I heard scurrying in the ceiling really loud just like rats or mice. It was awful!!! After hearing it for 2 hours none stop till midnight, crying because it was so horrible to listen to, I had to check out and spend the night sleeping in the airport as luckily our flight was in the morning anyway. I would never ever go back to this hotel again, all just seemed an unorganised shambles and don’t want to be staying in a hotel with rodents! Read less

This hotel is awful avoid at all cost. It had a terrible mildew smell. My room was on the first floor right next to the reception and front door. The walls are paper thin so all you heard was people coming and going all hours of the night. People checking in and out early in the morning or playing music you couldn’t get any rest of you really tried. The bathroom and shower are so tiny you barely have any standing room. The bedding looked old and worn out. There was also a bug in the shower. I ended up checking out after one night and booking another hotel elsewhere. Just not worth the money they are charging at all. Book at your own risk!!! Read less

While location is ok-ish, we were VERY disappointed by our stay. Upon arrival I asked the person at the front desk if our room was noisy. "well, it is indeed" was his answer. He directed us to another building (!!!), ie. we were not able to stay in the main hotel. The other building reminded me my $10 stay in East Asia when backpacking as a… Read more
While location is ok-ish, we were VERY disappointed by our stay. Upon arrival I asked the person at the front desk if our room was noisy. "well, it is indeed" was his answer. He directed us to another building (!!!), ie. we were not able to stay in the main hotel. The other building reminded me my $10 stay in East Asia when backpacking as a student. ZERO charm, you could here all conversations (and other noises...) from other room. NOT what you except at $288 per night. AVOID this place. Read less
