Good Location

Good location for Duval St., and other attractions. Employees very nice. Grounds are a bit rough because it’s mid -renovation. Beds very comfy.

hostel, it is not a motel

At that price we should received a much higher standard.

The room was surprisingly large. The beds were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. We went in the middle of the week so prices were very reasonable.

10/10 Exceptional

not bad! perfect for what we were looking far

We got one of the more recently updated rooms, which was perfect for what we needed! Everything was really good for the price, however, the seals on the doors/windows are non-existent. expect to hear everything outside from a sneeze to a car driving by. also they are currently under construction which was not advertised anywhere but the fine print on hotels.com so no pool as advertised :/
blake, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms are small and dated but functional. Windows let draft in and workers start working on building early so don’t expect to sleep late. But convenient location, priced high but still in Key West it’s one of the lower rates. Enjoyed our stay here. Loved the chickens… bring a couple pieces of bread for them.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was clean and updated with a king size bed. The bathrooms were nicely updated with tile but there was no hot water. The property was well lit but outdated on the exterior. The locations was nice, just a few blocks from Duvall St.

MaryClaire, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is a disaster. The pictures don’t come close to what the reality is.

10/10 Exceptional

Walked away saying “That was easy!”

Time for ME, doing what I Want, my pace, my needs
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

You get what you pay for. This was a hostel with shared bathroom etc. It has been 50 years since I stayed in a hostel and wanted to revisit my youth. There was only a thin sheet no blanket but I still managed to get reasonable sleep. Easy walking distance to all the sites and restaurants etc. Can recommend if you are traveling on a budget.
Graham, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There is no one at the front desk. An access key will be sent to you by email in advance, and you can use it to open the entrance and room doors. The rooms are clean and there is a Whole Foods Sale just a 5 minute walk away.
Yuichi, 1-night trip

The location was great and the room was spacious! Front desk was very kind and helpful.
Karla, 1-night trip

This is such a cute property with very friendly staff. The location is excellent to get to the downtown and beaches quickly.

Just ok, not more. And you don’t need more.
Benny Yi-Bing, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

You get what you get. The room we was in was really noisy and the door to the outside disnt seem to close all the way. Felt like i was camping.
Kristy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was great. The room was clean. It was just very small for the price. It was very convenient to everything so you can walk or bike to all the stuff easily. I would recommend it, but i believe its much cheaper during the week.
