Location is fantastic, right by the Riverwalk. Staff is friendly and helpful. The room cleanliness at check-in was disappointing. Shower took a long time to get hot water, which was frustrating.

Location near the Riverwalk is perfect for exploring the area. The cleanliness of the rooms could use improvement. Friendly staff helped us with the shuttle service, which was convenient. Our air conditioning didn't work well during the stay.

Great staff and location. Wi-Fi was spotty and rooms need updating.

Tried to shower multiple times, but it was only ice-cold. Even at 3 am, no relief. Totally ruined our experience and made it tough to feel refreshed.

The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and the staff genuinely enhanced the experience. Damian at check-in was incredibly helpful, offering great recommendations, and the friendly bartender from Texas added a nice touch. The free shuttle was a game-changer for exploring. The river view room was spacious and comfortable, though the shower could’ve been warmer. A few minor hiccups: breakfast took a bit longer than expected, and I wished for soda machines on the floor. Despite a few quirks, it was a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful location. Would definitely return!

Strong match for a weekend adventure in Tampa with best value for money ratio. Front desk staff was exceptional.

The river view is breathtaking and the shuttle service is a lifesaver. Staff is super friendly and always ready to help with tips and requests.
Water pressure can be a bit hit or miss, especially on busy event nights.

The location is perfection; there’s a lovely park just a stroll away with stunning river views! The rooms were spacious and clean, and I loved relaxing by the outdoor swimming pool. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making my stay feel extra special.
Totally recommend! 😍💕

Staff are super friendly and helpful. They made sure we got the best room with a view of the theater we visited!
It wasn't the cheapest option, but worth it for the experience.

The ironing facilities in the room were handy for keeping our clothes wrinkle-free, and having heating and air conditioning allowed us to adjust the room temperature to our liking. we found the absence of tea and coffee facilities a bit disappointing, especially for those early morning caffeine fixes. On the plus side, the staff provided free toiletries, which was a nice touch, and the AM/FM alarm clock helped us wake up on time for our activities. The flat-screen TV in the room was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring Tampa, even though it had some minor issues. The carpeted floor was cozy but could have been cleaner in certain areas. We appreciated the convenience of the dry cleaning and housekeeping services, although there were some delays in receiving these services during our stay. The on-site shops/commercial services were convenient for picking up essentials, and the laundry facilities were a bonus for freshening up our clothes. The shuttle service provided by the hotel was limited in its range, which made it slightly inconvenient for traveling longer distances. It would have been more beneficial if the free shuttle service extended to the airport as well. We missed out on a welcome drink upon arrival, which would have been a nice gesture to start our stay on a positive note. Tours/ticket assistance was available, but we found that the staff could have been more proactive in recommending local attractions and dining options instead of directing guests to search on their own.

This hotel is just a short stroll away from several must-see spots, including Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, which is less than a 10-minute walk, and the beautiful University of Tampa, only a 15-minute walk away, making it an ideal base for discovering the city; the staff were friendly, and the rooms were clean and comfortable with good amenities like a mini fridge, and there's also an on-site restaurant for those evenings when you just want to relax after a day of exploration, but the shower could use a bit more attention to cleanliness.

My squad and I had a blast in Tampa hitting up Busch Gardens and the water park nearby. The hotel was lit - comfy beds, river view, and a dope shuttle service. Perfect base for our adventures!
Would've been even sicker if there was a rooftop party spot for us young peeps.

The hotel boasts a stunning river view, especially from the ceiling-to-floor windows. Watching fireworks with a glass of wine was truly memorable. Excellent service and delicious food at the on-site restaurant enhanced our experience, making our anniversary celebration special. the dormitory-like atmosphere below can be disruptive, with college students slamming doors. Our initial room had a musty odor and required a change, which the staff facilitated promptly. While the front desk excelled—shout-out to Jacob and Melissa—the rooms need a deep clean and general maintenance. Cleanliness standards fell short, especially in the bathrooms. Minor repairs and upgrades would elevate the overall stay. With its fantastic location and friendly staff, this hotel has potential, but attention to detail is crucial.

The bed was comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep. Temperature control was efficient, ensuring a pleasant environment. Unfortunately, the room had a moldy smell, with a noticeable spot on the ceiling. The bathroom was outdated and small, awkwardly designed making it tricky to use the sink with the door placement. The walls were thin, allowing for noticeable noise from adjacent rooms. Housekeeping was lacking during our stay; our room was only cleaned once, and the cleanliness left something to be desired. The location was convenient, with free shuttle service adding ease to our experience.

Clean, comfortable rooms with great views. Dated decor and no breakfast options.

During Christmas at this hotel, we enjoyed having plenty of parking available for a small fee and the option to choose between a river or city view room. the convenient shuttle service within a two, mile radius and the proximity to the Straz theater enhanced our stay. The friendly staff and comfortable amenities like a great shower pressure added to the positive experience.
Housekeeping was inconsistent, and the lack of dining options due to restaurant closures was disappointing. The outdated wall, to, wall carpets in rooms and corridors gave off a displeasing smell, suggesting a need for renovation.

The Barrymore Hotel boasts a superb location by the riverwalk, offering stunning views from the rooms. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The complimentary shuttle service within a 2-mile radius is a wonderful perk for exploring nearby attractions without any hassle.

Had a great time during my city break! The spacious room with comfortable beds and river view was a real treat. The staff were polite, and the hotel was very clean. The breakfast options were delicious, and parking was convenient and affordable at $10 a night. The location next to the Riverwalk and downtown center was perfect for exploring waterfront bars and restaurants.
Although my stay was enjoyable, I did notice that some rooms may not have been as well-maintained as mine. It seems like there were issues with cleanliness and room amenities in a few cases.

Our family had an amazing time exploring all the exciting locations nearby, from the famous theme park playground to the heart, pounding water park. The convenience of being just a stone's throw away from all the top attractions truly made our family trip unforgettable.
My kids wished for a more kid, friendly menu at the on, site restaurant.

I absolutely loved Barry's Market for my impromptu snack cravings! The location was so central; felt like I was in the heart of everything. The staff made me feel like royalty!
Woke up serenaded by loud neighbors. How delightful!

the women who checked me in had delightful personalities and even gave me a heads up about fireworks in Hyde Park. the hotel was clean, the beds were comfortable, and i even got to check in early, which was a plus. being close to the River Walk was also nice.
Nothing at all 🙂

Felt completely happy, no complaints whatsoever.
