All of the 1888 Hotel communications were great, with concise instructions on everything related to my stay. The property is clean and comfortable and my room was updated. I really appreciated the filtered water station in the lobby to refill water bottles. There are great coffee shops, restaurants, wine bars, museums, the St. Pete Pier, and the best gelato (Paciugo Gelato Caffe), within short walking distance. There is no elevator, and I am 74 years old, and I had no problem climbing the stairs to my room on the 3rd floor. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a great weekend staying at the 1888. It was my first experience with a hotel that has no front desk or continuous staffing, but our text messages were always answered promptly and the lack of a front desk wasn’t a problem. The building is definitely old, full of character, and the alley way and load out area are unfortunately a little bit creepy, the front entrance is much more welcoming. It is important to note that the two parking spots for unloading are not directly behind the hotel but actually two buildings east. We really liked that the rooms had full kitchens that were well stocked with utensils and dishes, also the showers are very nice and have many different spray options. The rooms are well decorated and comfortable, but definitely not soundproof, it’s an old building and you definitely hear everything. Great location to go to all of the downtown bars and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again when we are in st Pete.

Loved the room, it was everything we needed. Great communication from the property and a great place to stay. The location does struggle with limited unloading space if its busy but parking is available at a garage nearby. The limited unloading is the only reason for 4 star location instead of 5. Also, they do not have an elevator so book the first floor if needed. Note, they mention this on their website so no excuse to fuss about it if you stay there. We would definitely recommend the 1888 hotel for a cozy room experience and excellent customer service.

We loved everything about the 1888 Hotel. Great communication , perfect location, and incredibly well appointed (including quality toilet paper and products). Someone really paid attention to electrical outlets everywhere and a great coffee maker . Even the sofa bed was comfortable and the AC nice and cold. I would definitely stay there again

Booked last minute after reading the reviews, and everything went smoothly. I love that the front door is locked at all times. It’s lovely and quiet. My room (206) was fantastic and cozy! AC, water temp and pressure were great, and I much appreciated the coffee pods with creamer! The free parking was also a huge selling point.

Enjoyable stay at this historic hotel. Very clean and quiet. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They personally introduced themselves and answered any questions. The room was smaller but it had everything I needed. It reminded me of European historic hotels I’ve stayed in. I was able to walk to some great restaurants. Enjoyed the second floor balcony and visiting with some other guests. The main floor front porch was very clean and inviting. I felt very comfortable and safe during my stay. I would recommend and I would stay again! Also thank you for the coffee. I needed coffee and it was really good!

My husband and I stayed here for four nights, our room was little but we had everything we needed. The balcony on the second floor was relaxing and a great place to have our lunch. Vinoy Park was a 15 minute walk. Shops and restaurants are a few blocks away, great walking neighborhood. The staff was wonderful and right there if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again. Free Trolly picks up out front of hotel and Free Trolly to Tampa Rays baseball game was 4 blocks south of the hotel. Great Location

I stayed at the 1888 Hotel and overall had a really enjoyable experience. The location is fantastic—super central and only about a 20-minute drive to the beach, which made it easy to explore both downtown and the coastline. I loved being able to walk everywhere nearby, with plenty of great spots just steps away. The rooms were charming and thoughtfully decorated, with a cozy, boutique feel. The bed was very comfortable, everything was clean, and the decor added a really cute, unique touch. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and accessing the room was quick and hassle-free, which made the stay feel very easy and convenient. Parking was a bit tricky and required a little patience, but having free parking available was definitely a big plus. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for a comfortable, well-located stay with character.

It’s been a full year and we’re still displaced from the hurricane and it’s been very stressful and difficult after losing our in treasure island . The 1888 totally blew my mind with how accommodating they are and how nice and well taken care of the hotel is. You can tell they put money into their property the attention to detail, to the appliances to the spice rack that’s actually filled and has variety, they even leave you decaf and regular coffee. This is super clean and well kept up I’m very particular and usually wear house shoes inside at all times at hotels/airbnb but I didn’t feel like I needed too because it’s immaculate. Not even dust on the ceiling fans . The general manager Mike is so kind as well you can tell he likes his job and takes pride in it. Not only did they work out an extra parking pass for the garage but allowed me a super early check in. Gia spent over 30 mins on the phone with me to extend my reservation and move me to the grand central which does longer term stays she went above and beyond to book my reservation and offer me a killer price especially during this time of year. Not only did Gia coordinate and book my whole reservation. She looked into future bookings for me and gave me multiple options to try and accommodate me and make sure I didn’t have to move around a lot like a few days here or a few days there type deal which she didn’t have to do. She made sure to communicate and reiterate everything I was looking for and was also cheerful and bubbly the whole phone conversation. Gia also informed me I could check out when my unit was ready at another one of their properties which is just chefs kiss . I typically don’t leave reviews this long but I give praise when praise is due . Beyond my expectations truly a unique boutique motel well taken care of renovated and chic, with a great location less than a 10 minute walk to beach drive/the pier. This is truly a hidden gem. Worth every penny . The only thing they need is a little better sound proofing around the doors because you can def hear people if they aren’t respectful of the quiet time rule.

We spent a few days at Hotel 1881 in St. Petersburg, Florida, and were very impressed. The hotel is cozy, very clean, and the rooms are well-equipped. It’s just a short walk to cafes, museums, and the waterfront. The staff is attentive and friendly — you truly feel like a welcomed guest. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and a great location!
