The location is amazing that’s for sure, and also the bathroom was very nice. I hate that the rooms have carpet especially in a nice hotel as this was, it just kills the mood, makes the room smell off and plus terrible for allergies.

Beautiful Hotel, Room great area. Love it

Everyone there was helpful. The only issue was not getting served for 10 minutes at tge outdoor patio. I walked over to another restaurant a d got waited on in a minute

Had such an amazing stay at The Birchwood in downtown St. Pete! The boutique vibe, beautiful rooms, and rooftop views were absolutely stunning. The location is perfect, walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. The rooftop bar was definitely a highlight with amazing drinks, live music, and one of the best views in the city. Staff was friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience feel special. Perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

The room was gorgeous and the staff was so friendly!! Best location and we enjoyed every minute. Thank you Birchwood!!!

There is nobody manning the front desk from 11:00 pm until morning. At 2:00 am we were woken up by blasting music and a bass so loud it throbbed through our bones. After 15 minutes we realized the music wasn't coming from a car or boombox outside. I opened my door and discovered it was coming from the room next door. I pounded on their door and when they turned the music down I asked them to lower the music. As soon as I left they turned it up higher. We could'nt fall asleep until 5:15 am when they turned it off! As we checked out we told several people at the front desk exactly what happened. The management basically decided it wasn't a big deal and offered a minimal apology stating that there is a small white card in the room that gives a phone number for emergencies. That was it! This room cost over $300. Despite it's lovely amenities, I would never stay or recommend this hotel to anyone.

Loved the claw foot tub! Would stay here again!

Our room looked over a tree lined avenue, across to a grassy park with the ocean beyond. The hotel was originally a historic property and as such our large room had lots of space. The dining room was very pretty and the food was excellent. We valet parked and did not drive the whole time as the Vinoy, the Dalí, marinas, restaurants and museums are all an easy and enjoyable walk. The rooftop bar was a delightful place to sip a cocktail and people watch with the city lights blinking in the distance. We did opted out from the limited breakfast, instead walking to a coffee bar each day. The bathroom door in our larger room was not designed to latch readily, occasionally awkward!

Great place to stay to enjoy St Pete. Beach Dr. has everything you absolute need! Hotel is beautiful. It had some moments where you could hear people on the rooftop but it honestly wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The AC fan drowned out most outside noise. Beautiful place.

Location excellent.

Very good

Amazing atmosphere

Breakfast was subpar with very few options, so i didn't bother and got breakfast elsewhere. Weird pillow set on top of the bed, probably unhygienic, kept being placed there after room service.

Very nice hotel. Well located. Friendliest and most helpful staff we've ever had.

needs maintenance and cleaning

Beautiful vibe throughout!! Everyone was kind and helpful. Smiles everywhere.

This property is perfectly located near absolutely everything you want to see and do! There are so many restaurants and cafes nearby and everything is within walking distance. The museums are wonderful! The shops have everything you need. The pier with its beach and restaurants along with so many activities is a great place to wander for the day.

We stay here a lot but it has changed. They ran out of coffee but the staff was very accommodating The bathrooms need to be cleaned. Everytime I stay they never mop the bathroom floor

Probably the most beautiful hotel I've stayed at yet.

There is no refrigerator in the room so no place for leftovers to go. The "continental breakfast" consisted of hard boiled eggs and various breads/bagels, etc, each individually wrapped in plastic, and not much else. No toaster, no juice. The rooftop bar is closed on Mondays and if you get back to the hotel after 9, you must take the outside elevator, walk down an unlit pathway to a door into the floor, find the pad for the passkey in the dark, and enter the building that way. We requested the room be cleaned after our second morning there and, though the beds were made up, the trash wasn't emptied, water was not replaced, and we had to request more toilet paper.

Everything was wonderful but it was difficult to sleep due to the noise outside. One of the downfalls if such a beautiful, old building is thin windows. If I had ear plugs and there was a mini fridge it would've been perfect!

No amenities open on Monday’s (no bar, no restaurant, no coffee, no rooftop).

Rooms could have been cleaner. More attention to little things. Lots of dust on bed posts, baseboards and areas that typically should be wiped down or dusted. Continental breakfast left us a little underwhelmed.

No amenities open on Monday’s (no bar, no restaurant, no coffee, no rooftop).

Good

Both bars were lively, well staffed and friendly. Nice to have a pianist in the evenings. Staff was incredibly helpful. Room was great, lovely clawfoot tub and a nice shower. Absolutely wonderful location!

The place was perfect like out of a movie the room and bathroom were amazing and the location is the best in downtown st pete i will stay there again great place

Excellent staff, now the rooftop party lasted until later in the night but we played music in our room to distract us. Also the valet parking was a little difficult coming in. Lovely room, could use a lock on the bathroom door to keep it closed.

Very nice little hotel in a great location with museums and restaurants within walking distance. Hotel’s restaurant was very good and the rooftop bar an added bonus; fun place with a great view of the bay.

Breakfast was ok, it would be nice if there was toaster.

Breakfast was excellent. Staff awesome.

This is a find! Lovely people on staff- every one of them. Beautiful spacious room and bathroom. Ideally located across from a park and the waterfront. Restaurants, shopping and entertainment nearby. Only 18 rooms, so you get plenty of quick attention if you need it. Can’t think of a thing I’d change!

Things that could use some work: The hallways smell humid and the walls are a bit thin (It doesn't help that people aren't very caring and slam their doors when people are still sleeping). Also, maybe hold the cleaning until 9? They start early and wake you up.

The staff, hotel, restaurant and room were excellent. The only downside was the noise from people leaving the rooftop bar until 2AM. We will be back and ask for a different room at the back to buffer us from the loud partiers.

Could not beat the staff nor the location. Decor was fabulous

My favorite hotel in St Pete!

Not the usual hot breakfast, but very good bagels, English muffins, pastries, cereal and other high quality items. Room was clean, but lighting was poor. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed our stay. Close to everything and the staff was exceptional

The property was not in the condition one would expect it to be.

Great time! A little loud late at night but very nice. Not much for kids pallet on the menu. Food is excellent though!

The room was beautiful, especially the bathroom. The bedroom was very dark at times. I could not see directions for the coffee maker. The staff was lovely and our dinner delicious. Roof top bar magnificent!

Yes

At check-in, we waited 20 minutes with no one at the front desk and no way to alert staff. The employee who eventually checked us in had been sitting in the lobby the entire time and was curt and unhelpful. We were told Wi-Fi was down and late checkout wasn’t available, though we were encouraged to enjoy the rooftop after checkout. One of the main reasons we booked was the rooftop bar, but when we went up at 7:45 p.m., we were told they were closing early despite a posted 10 p.m. closing time—on a holiday weekend. It was also closed the following day, so we never got to experience it. Breakfast consisted of prepackaged, processed items in the lobby, which did not match the property’s price point. While the location and room design are strong, the service and amenities did not justify the cost. That said, we want to recognize Ajanae, who we met after checkout. She was kind and professional, and we believe our experience would have been very different had she handled our check-in. She is a true asset to the property.

all great, as always.

The room and environment was great but the service was top notch. I really enjoyed staying in this hotel and the staff made my stay even better.

Everyone was very nice! Great location!

Cute place. Stayed last year and thought it was very sweet. This time hot water was sketchy. Staff were very nice. Old St Pete charm but needs some upgrading.

Loved the room. The staff was exceptional, always polite helpful, and engaging. The food and drinks were great, I will stay here again.

Great hotel staff wonderful.

Beautiful

Customer service was outstanding!

Amazing staff and beautiful hotel located deep in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg

This is a beautiful hotel. I booked two rooms one for my husband and myself and another room for my parents. Both rooms were clean and very lush. The front desk ladies were so friendly and made great recommendations. We ate at the hotel’s restaurant and the food was amazing. We saw a show on their fourth floor in the grand ballroom which was so fun. For an older hotel everything was so nice. Highly recommend staying here 10 out of 10.

Great location. Adequate breakfast but would prefer more varieties.

Everything was great! Friendly staff, clean rooms.

Great amazing Location. Walk to everything. High quality room. Gets loud at night but that's the night life in area. Rooms not soundproof was a problem. Big issue of mine was no hot water after 10 pm. So didn't have hot shower or face cloth to wash up. But water was fine in morning. My guess is boiler is undersized with all the rooms having deep tubs. Continental breakfast was very minimal and poor options, no staff even bothered to offer service or assistance during it. All things considered ill try the other hotel down the corner next time.

It was a nice enough room. Not what I expected from all the hpe.

Hot water was a little spotty at times but otherwise really nice hotel with great staff.

From the staff, the restaurant, bar and location. I will definitely be back!

Clean room, staff was so accommodating and it was close to everything

I had to use a shoe to keep the bathroom door closed because it wouldn’t close… it would just open up. The place is outdated, hideous, terrible, just hot garbage. The room has an equally old carpet. I did not want barefoot on that floor. I have no idea why they charge so much for those hideous rooms. Breakfast is cereals and bagels.

It was great!

As soon as we entered our room at around 4:00pm EST, the music and bass from the reception directly above us were so loud that the walls and floors were literally vibrating. We could feel people dancing above us. We ate dinner around 6:15pm and returned before we were going to walk around the downtown area/the pier. Around 7:30 PM, I called the front desk to ask when the event would end. We were told “maybe 9:30 or 10:00,” but nothing definitive. We went back out for a bit and returned to the room around 8:45pm - the room was still shaking from the music and bass. On top of that, there was a courtyard bar directly below us (outside of our window) filled with loud, intoxicated guests, adding even more noise. At that point, our room sounded like we were in the middle of a crowded resort lobby below us with an extremely loud wedding party above us (I reiterate - the walls were VIBRATING), not a relaxing, anniversary hotel. At 9:00pm, my husband called the front desk and explained that we were there to relax for our anniversary and that the room was simply unusable due to the noise from both above and below. He expressed that we could not justify paying over

Clean and beautiful room. Staff was courteous and helpful. Location location location

Best hotel in downtown St Pete!!

Great location and service

Yes

Location

The hotel is boutique and very intimate. The rooftop bar is lovely, has a happy hour, and great views. The hotel is across the street from the pier and all the good restaurants so it’s quite convenient. The staff are super friendly. They do valet so you can get your car easily. My only complaint was that it was too dimly lit. But we would highly recommend.

Nice rooms. Nice staff in great area but no amenities like gym pool. Etc. Also front desk closes at night so lste arrivals is a big hassle.

Great place!!!

Great Location

Lovely time. Great area

Great!

It was ok

Staff members were exceptionally attentive

Cute hotel. Just felt like the attention to detail was lacking. From check-in to breakfast buffet for the price point for hotel rate.

Great area, but the rooms smelled damp!

Room was very clean and quiet given the location. They offer valet, but I parked on the street, which is free 10PM-9AM. Would stay here again.

Great place to stay

Nice place

Old school feel, but the bath tub did not seem fully cleaned. There was difficulty getting back into our room during the night due to the lack of elevators and the bar over crowding the area.

Room was very nice--service was great and so was the location. You could not hear the rooftop club from the room but the walls were thin and the windows seemed single paned--so you could hear those going to and from the club, returning to their rooms, and even their not so loud conversations from the adjoining rooms.

We loved the hotel, unfortunately we had guests with no respect running around in the middle of the night making a lot of noise!

Excellent staff but the room was a little lacking, room needs more light, bathroom needs moor hooks and lights.

Great rooms, restaurant and service.

It was a wonderful stay!

Great location and a wonderful property. Highly recommend.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. The surrounding area was walkable and had lovely museums, parks, stores nearby to explore. The only aspect that I didn't like was the breakfast. Paying $400 a night and with the hotel having it's own restaurant on the first floor I was expecting a better breakfast. Not the stone cold waffles in prepackaged plastic and warm orange juice. It is minor thing, but when you've stayed in hotels that cost substantially less and received a hot breakfast in the morning it was surprising.

Very nice upscale hotel in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg. Bed squeaked and lighting had to be learned as one switch turned off the whole room.

Beautiful room. Odd visibility into room from outside and hallway where need to have side curtains shut. Can't beat location. Staff great. No gym or pool that I saw.

Beautiful room, great location and friendly, helpful staff!! Will definitely come back!

The bar and restaurant are SO nice. They had a new bartender who obviously had no bartending experience, so drinks were slow coming and not very tasty, but everything else was top notch.

Management rude. No idea how this place gets good reviews.

Very nice

Easy to get to the property. Valet parking is available which we took advantage of. Many restaurants, shops, museums, parks, venues within walking distance. It was very noisy on Friday and Saturday nights which made it difficult to sleep. But if you're here to party and stay out late, you'll have a fantastic time. We would definitely stay here again.

I waited a very long time for valet parking and then had to wait again for someone to show up to check me in, but other than that, the hotel is very nice. The only reason I would not stay here again was the loud music from the restaurant. It was so loud that at times it would vibrate the bed and it prevented me from getting to sleep until after midnight.

Forgot my watch in the room. Friendly staff couriered to me at no charge

The hotel was very understaffed but we had a great time.

This was such a wonderful hotel. We will be back.

Great location

Great location

Lovely hotel to stay in with very friendly and accommodating staff.

Loved the location! Wonderful park across the street. Excellent rooms. Fun vibes in the bars and restaurants on premise. Kevin rocked the bar and made a fantastic Spicy Jalapeño Pear Margarita 🌶️🍐🍹

Very nice boutique hotel

Great small hotel in perfect location facing the bay, convenient to restaurants, museums, etc. yet also very quiet. Staff very friendly and helpful with any questions. Fastest valet parking service I've ever seen. Would definitely stay again if returning to ST. Pete. Roger

The only down side is that with the bar down stairs and rooftop bar upstairs, it can be a bit noisy at night, but nothing ear plugs can’t help with.

Great room/suite and very yummy food

The hotel is a cute boutique hotel very conveniently located in the heart of downtown. That being said l, there was no view whatsoever from our room, we overlooked an indoor courtyard which was very loud at night. The room itself was spacious and clean but the beds could use some updating as they creaked loudly with the slightest movement. Free breakfast was minimal. The rooftop lounge had a great happy hour. Overall we were happy with the stay as the location can’t be beat.

Great rooms, especially the bathrroms

Location was great - breakfast was terrible - dirt under bed

The property was beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful. I had a late check in and the after hours process was seamless.

A very friendly staff!

Great time, would stay here again.

Fantastic hotel with amazing service. Great bar too. Was impressed by everything except the “breakfast buffet”. A few pastries in bags and lukewarm coffee. Literally attached to a restaurant but didn’t have hot food or coffee on a Sunday morning during season.

Great staff, location and property

Very nice staff very professional

Charming,convenient,comfortable,friendly

Wonderful & charming hotel. Perfect location. Staff was wonderful. Rooftop was anazing

The location, food, and staff were amazing, but we paid for a garden view room that was not really a garden view. It was tucked inside and all windows looked out onto some Astro turf on a roof or the AC or whatever machinery was there. Said machinery was incredibly loud throughout the night. All in all we probably would not stay here again. For the price it’s just not worth it.

Great

The hotel was nice and has a classic feel to it . However i would not spend 300 plus to stay there.

Cleaning crew blowing outside stating at 8am

All rooms face the backyard, which remains very noisy even after midnight. One of the elevators was out of order, and there was garbage on the floor that was never cleaned during our stay. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this place.

We had hoped things had been improved but it was not the case. The shower barely sprayed and the lighting is still very dim in the bathroom.

The room is unacceptable under any circumstances, but especially given what we paid - so bad that we checked out a few hours after checking in. We were told the manager would call us but no one has contacted us as of about 3 weeks after. Trash was left in the room. The view outside every window was of some sort of mechanical equipment. There was noise from an event space right outside one window and from an unknown source outside another window on the other side of the room. The TV remote didn't work and neither did the thermostat.

Great Location.

This hotel is gorgeous and in the best location. And very expensive. For the money I paid, I expected more than partially used shampoo and conditioner in the shower, no one telling us the switch in the entrance by the door controls the bathroom lights, and a remote that didn't work (two times) leaving limited access to TV. No offer of a discount when these things were pointed out. Other than this the place is beautiful and wonderful. But for the money, it should be perfect. And it wasn't.

It was a very noisy room as I had windows on 3 sides. Friday night there were people partying outside the window. Saturday morning I was awaken at 7 am due to dumpsters being emptied.

Excellent hotel

We had a great time, comfortable room, fun at roof bar

Liked the property overall. Service was excellent. Staff was friendly. Negatives were very loud HVAC motor and the lighting in the room which was rather dim. Overall we’d stay there again.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is only one staff member handling multiple responsibilities, including check-in, check-out, valet, and room service. This was not an isolated incident, as I encountered the same situation during my previous visit last month. For a hotel with rates ranging from $400 to $600 per night, this staffing model is quite concerning. In summary, the hotel is a beautiful place with outstanding staff, but the management should take steps to address the staffing issues to enhance the overall guest experience.

Highly recommend. Great location, hotel, dining and staff!

Very rude and unhelpful staff especially the rooftop bar staff

Love the Birchwood. One of the best restaurants in St Pete, immaculate rooms on Beach Drive. What more could you ask for!!!

Like the location

Loved The Birchwood! The location was amazing as well as all the staff! So friendly! Excellent little boutique hotel that we’ll return to for sure!

Quiet and comfortable. Wish there was a pool and a mini fridge.

Great stay at the Birchwood! Great dinner at Birch and Vine. Service was great. Drinks at the Canopy were awesome. Walkable to Jannus Live.

Amazing and unique place! I aleays stay there!

Greate service! Nice people!

Overall experience was poor. My family booked 3 rooms for my mother's 60th bday. She had 2 rooms and arrived the day before, I had one. Upon booking my room I called the property and asked if I could decorate her room before she checks in and was told I would get a phone call once the room is cleaned, never received the call. When my mother checked in she stated the front desk guy wasn't very pleasant. Upon my arrival no one was at front desk- as they only staff one person and we had to wait almost 20 mins. I parked in the hotel "valet" parking space and gave the desk attendant our key as he is also the hotel valet attendant- we left to go to dinner down the street and within 10 mins he calls us asking if we had the key and where was the car parked, he never tagged our keys so my boyfriend had to walk back to the hotel to get the keys straigten out. We were told all main doors are locked at 11p and to access an outer door that leads to the side elevator- when my cousin arrived at 4a that door and elevator was locked and he had to call the after hours number to have someone unlock it. The whole experience defintely put a damper on the celebration. It wasn't the experience we expected especially for this property.

they have valet parking only up until 11front desk is closed between 11 PM and 7 AM. After 11 self parking in a very busy area. the elevator to the rooftop lounge only worked until the the third floor and you had to go outside take 4 flights of stairs, it was hot 🔥 Beds were more comfortable than most beds. The only problem was that they were both on a wood frame and would creek loudly when you got in and out. That aside we love the area. There are restaurants and things to do all around within walking distance the beautiful pier across the street. We will be back definitely

Just a little bit of a hardship is that they have valet parking only up until 11 is closed between 11 PM and 7 AM. After 11 self parking would not be very close to the hotel, somewhere down the block, which seemed almost impossible. They only have one person who works both the desk and the valet so there is some wait time they could use more employees doing that. Two things that were a little bit of an issue, but definitely not a dealbreaker and we will be back.. the elevator to the rooftop lounge only worked until the the third floor and you had to go outside take 4 flights of stairs, it was hot 🔥 Beds were more comfortable than most beds I have stayed in a hotel. The only problem was that they were both on a wood frame and would creek loudly when you flipped over or when you got out of it. That aside we love the area.

Great hotel.

The staff was amazing and our room was very clean. We stayed on a Monday so the restaurant in the hotel was not open, which was a bummer. But, there are so many easily accessible restaurants in the area, so it wasn't too bad. The lights in the "overnight" or "after hours" elevator did not work, so it was pitch dark in there. Take the stairs if you are leaving the hotel after 11pm! Over all, it was a great stay with a beautiful room! I would stay here again.

Everything was amazing the whole time

Everyone was so pleasant and helpful .

This hotel is in a perfect location for the downtown area. It’s across the street from the water and park, and is walkable to everything downtown. They offer valet parking at an extra cost, but it’s worth it. It’s no where near St Pete’s Beach, but if you’re looking for a downtown location, you can’t beat The Birchwood. You will be close to all the restaurants, bars, nightlife, museums, shops…

Not great. Too loud, A/C didn’t work, included breakfast was underwhelming, bed was uncomfortable.

This hotel is very pretty and a tad more affordable than some other properties in St. Petersburg. The only negative is no pool, which I didn’t think I wanted but in the Florida heat, may have been welcome. The room was large and well kept and furnished, very pretty. The area is perfect and centrally located. Step outside and all of St. Petersburg is at your doorstep. If u need to get your car for a drive, I found it was easy to ask and brought around quickly. We spent 2 nights over a weekend. Yes, there was noise from the rooftop but I didn’t find it hindered my sleep. The tv sound can even that out, so it really wasn’t an issue. I also dined at Teak for brunch which was also very good, and a beautiful location. I would def return to this charming property.

Great rooms great rooftop great restaurant great location!

It would be nice if the hotel room had a refrigerator

Well restored rooms that our spacious and clean, but some rooms are not private and look out onto a walkway. Worse, the water quality makes the soap and shampoo leave you with an oily feeling. Plus, the shower head is a “rain” style from the ceiling - looks nice but annoying to use. The bath tub was gorgeous. NO staff from 11p to 7a?!? Valet parking is a hassle due to understaffing. Rooftop bar is lovely and the hotel has an excellent location on the waterfront. Breakfast was free but minimal, so have low expectations.

Way overpriced. Property is very tired and needs upgrading. Very poor water pressure and couldn’t even turn the knobs on the bath tub. Huge cockroach in our sink the first morning. Mattress needs replaced and bed very squeaky. No real amenities at the hotel. It’s advertised as having breakfast, but no real breakfast options… Not even a full Continental in my opinion. I am gluten-free and there were no options for me at all. Very overpriced for the lack of offerings. The only plus was the location. All in all just way overpriced for the lack of amenities and breakfast options.

The location is perfect and the rooms are stunning.

Parking at this hotel is awful. Tried calling the hotel to find out where to park for check-in and no one answered. Had to call the restaurant to get anyone. Once checked in, they do valet your car. But had to be back before 11:00pm or no more valet and park on street and risk a ticket as there is absolutely no parking area/lot for hotel guests. Room was just average, stayed in better. Carpet was stained throughout. Nothing special that’s for sure for the price. Very crowded downtown but if your there for that, one might like the location. Should have stayed at Vinoy, but wanted to try something new. Won’t stay here again!

The bad: With the location being where it is, it is a little on tge noisy side. I don't think its as bad as some of the others are saying but for a Wednesday and Thursday night it had its moments. Parking was a pain. They valet but I've never been a fan of valet parking and that leaves metered parking from 9am-10pm or a parking garage about a 10 minute walk away. Either way you're paying at least $20 a day to park if you walk/use public transportation. The "kinda picky" things: While the tile outside looks nice, its not the greatest for flip flops and rain, and it rained on Wednesday, a lot. A little slippery in areas. The bed was comfortable but the sheet kept popping off and the crinkly(assuming protective leak guard) layer under the sheet was kind of annoying. I get the purpose of it, just pointing it out. No mini fridge. Would be nice to have some cold waters/drinks.

The beds were comfortable and clean. The floors were carpeted so expect a dusty carpet smell, but that probably some from the nature of this being an older building. Everything was really nice. There is noise from the nightclub, but the noise doesn't last old night. The stay was nice, and the service was friendly. I would stay here again.

1) Parking is by valet, which is inconvenient if someone not at front desk when you want to leave. We might have waited 10-15 minute at most so not a huge deal after first miss of human to fetch our car we built in extra timeto get our car. 2) Dinner. We decided to dine at the hotel on the patio for our last meal before heading home. I ordered the expensive steak, blue rare and their "advertised 1 lb baked potato" - extra cost for any side. The steak arrived on its on on the plate. Naked slab of beef. No grill marks. It was grey in color as if done in the microwave. Baked potato was ordinary. Very disappointing. On its own also. 3) The rooms have no mini refrigerator, despite their large size. I asked if we could get one and was told that they were all in use and if one came free, we would get it. Never happened in the 3 nights we spent at the hotel. Only saving grace was the staff at the bar on the main floor was very amenable to givng us ice buckets full of ice for the wine and proseco in our room. A minor inconvenience but hats off to the bartenders. Otherwise we loved the stay at the Birchwood and will be back next year for Blue Jays Spring Training. Thank you to the terrific staff.

Amazing location. Excellent and very attentive staff. Love that its got the older historical feel to it but modernized with great amenities.

The A/C in my room didn't work until I reported it to the front desk-who fixed it immediately after I spent a restless night in a too hot room. Entrance closed after 11pm and didn't open until 8. Lighting in room was poor. Location is fantastic, staff is great. Seems they have a staffing problem but if that and the A/C is fixed I'd recommend this place.

Love the Birchwood. Good Bar, Good food, Good location, Good staff ... they just need an extra staffer around the front desk ... be back this weekend

The staff was very accommodating and were responsive to all my extra needs getting ready for a wedding. Great roof top bar looking over the city.

A great boutique hotel in the heart of downtown St. Pete. Enjoyed drinks at their roof top bar with beautiful views of the water. Very comfortable bed and good breakfast. Toilets needs a few extra flushes but in these vintage hotels these things happen.

The Restaurant on site had very poor staff. Two members of our party asked to split an entree and the waiter stated that it was not a problem. It was delivered on one plate. When asked for a separate plate, the waiter ignored the request. We then asked the floor manager that came by for an extra empty plate and he ignored our request twice.

Our room was a little dark and no full length mirror on any wall.

Always love a night at The Birchwood.

Great area of mostly historic hotels. This one has an amazing rooftop bar. I had a hard time getting hot water to the bathroom. It took like 15 minutes to warm up. Otherwise great stay.

The room was very comfortable with a huge, beautiful bathroom. The staff was very friendly and and accommodating. Valet parking was extremely convenient. The hotel is in a beautiful area as well. My only complaint is that it is very loud at night. The nightlife in the weekend was so loud, it made it difficult to sleep until very late at night.

Perfect stay for our concert. Would stay there again.

The rooms and bathrooms are very large but they are also very old and dated. If they were updated I would give this hotel an A+++

Great location, and elegant accommodations.

Love!

I did not liked the lack of awareness and communication among hotel staff. For example, no communication between them about whenever a fire alarm emergency sounds on, none is aware of the reason, even a day later from the event, making it hard for us the hotel guests to trust the security measures while still wondering what happened. Also it is not clear that most of the room windows are facing inwards, specially to the hallway were the outside elevators are, no privacy and had to shut down the curtains making my room more darker suffocating. I would suggest placing a decorative plants in the elevators hallways to provide more privacy to room guests.

Great place, great location.

This is a beautiful property. It’s really cool how they made it seem totally in character of it’s historic nature if the hotel. The rooms are definitely historic looking, but clean and updated in the bathroom has the most amazing call clawfoot bathtub. So if you’re in the baths, bring some Epson salt to soak. They do have a bath gel in the room though also for you.. It’s very convenient to the pier all the restaurants and it’s totally walkable to everything. It’s in a great location for sure. They have a really nice rooftop bar that’s open till 2 AM. It’s got a beautiful view and great ambience. And a really nice place to hang out. I will say though you can hear all the music in the rooms so if you’re looking for totally totally quiet room, probably stay on a lower level. We will be back for sure.

Room was very nice. However it was very noisy due to the fact that all the rooms are backing a walkway from the rooftop bar. Also they advertise a complimentary breakfast until 10AM. We came down by 9:30 there was no coffee left in the urn, not much of anything and nobody around to remedy the situation.

Great location, wonderful atmosphere and very professional staff!

Parking is deficult and they charge $18 per day.

Great stay! Staff was so nice and welcoming!

Spent a weekend at the BandV. Lovely hotel , fantastic location with valet parking, a plus. The hotel offers inside lounge, cozy, and nicely appointed dining room, with rooftop canopy bar, great views, and included breakfast with variety to choose from.

Such a gem in St. Petersburg. Staff, location, comfort, were all fabulous. We can't wait to return!

Excellent place!!!

Loud music from events reaches every room. When I contacted front desk for a change of room, that’s what I was told. The music was unreasonably loud. They have a rooftop bar as well and that music goes on until midnight on weekdays and 2 am weekends.

Great location and comfortable room, however, our bathroom was a bit dirty upon checking in. In general, the rooms just feel like they need to be shown a little TLC and be freshened up.

Unique boutique hotel!

I spent 3 nights here and it’s a beautiful place and a great location. But, the rooms need to be updated, and if you’re looking for a quiet getaway, this might not be your place. It gets very loud but that didn’t bother me. They have valet, which is extra per day. But on the weekends it’s a little crazy because of a different valet, they don’t want you to park in front of the hotel for the hotels valet… but besides that it was a great stay and loved the location

Okay wouldn’t stay there again. Beds really sucked as did the shower

I recommend using the valet service for parking at this hotel. Old traditional feel in the decor. Love the two, eight person dinning rooms, on the front of the hotel.
