Frommer's
"Located in the historic El Cid neighborhood, just 1 mile from City Place and Clematis Street, the very cool Biba answers the call for an inexpensive, chic hotel that young hipsters can call their own."

Ask for a room that's on the quieter Belvedere Road, as opposed to those facing South Olive Avenue.
DK Eyewitness
"The hippest choice in the area, Hotel Biba is a motor inn transformed into a fabulous boutique hotel."
Gayot
"A hip boutique hotel with a sixties retro look... Best suited to people for whom price is more important than amenities."

Keep in mind that the neighborhood can be a bit iffy.

"This 90-room hotel is a youngster by Palm Beach termsit was only built in 1947—but it echoes its neighbors' hushed, moneyed elegance."

"Rooms are floral, with small bathrooms, and there is an energetic little bar scene with live cabaret music."
Star Service
