Ocean Five Hotel Miami Beach

I stayed here for three nights. Although they claim to offer a five-star experience, to me it felt more like a hostel. Everything in the room was noisy. The bathroom ventilator was so loud that you could barely hear your own thoughts, and the fridge also made constant noise. The pillows were very large and uncomfortable, the room did not have enough light, and all the lighting was dim. There was also a strange smell in the room, and the door was broken. On the plus side, for one person there is enough space. Access is via a code, so you don’t need to carry a key, and there is a small separate area for clothes. The staff were nice, friendly, and helpful. Overall, you are paying for the location directly on Ocean Drive, not for the service or the accommodation itself.

A coffee machine, refrigerator, and microwave are all offered. Rooms can be a tight fit, and the beds are definitely not huge. For the price, it’s just what we needed. The staff are ALWAYS friendly and willing to help. No washing machine or elevator, so definitely not wheelchair accessible for the second floor. If wheelchair accessibility is important to you, I recommend booking the first floor or requesting it. The beach is extremely close! Definitely good for a short stay. Seriously, a highlight on the amazing staff!

SUPER DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE!!!! After getting to our hotel room around 1:30 am we got to our room and noticed none of the doors locked. The front door to the hotel room didn’t even close. The latch that locks the door from the inside was broken and seemed to have signs of forced entry. The door would not lock and all we had to do to open the door was push it from the outside. So we felt very unsafe and told the front desk and they said there was nothing they could do. There was a fire exit next to our hotel room and we followed it out to an alley way where the door to access the building from the outside DID NOT LOCK. Some sketchy stuff is going on in this hotel. Sounds like sex trafficking to me. The next day we came back to the hotel and the alley door was locked so it seems to be only un

Unfortunately the only good thing about this hotel is the location. Very old, not clean, the day staff is not very friendly, the walls are paper thin so it's impossible to sleep at night . We got a deal on this hotel so I wasn't too mad but if we had paid full price, I would have been livid. The people who communicated with us through the stay on the airbnb app were really nice, I am sorry I can't rate this higher.

Its dirty as you see in the pictures. The biggest problem is the AC is full of fungus and mold and does not work properly, the room is hot. I think this is not only a comfort but rather a health issue! I think even for that price this is unaccaptable! For not so much more we got a good room elsewhere on the ocean drive.
