I bought the hotel in 1975 from Jack Gibson, whose grandfather built it in 1924. It was called the Gibson Hotel. I had been visiting Key West every chance I got starting in 1971, often two and three times a year. Originally, the Eden House was only the main building. The surrounding buildings were added over the next five or so years.

We stayed two nights at this funky spot. Parking was easy and off the street. Check in was personable and easy- seems they still do most of the paperwork by hand. They gave us room keys on bottle openers as the key chain- with our choice of a can of beer or soda. Our room was off the pool area with a little porch which worried me some about the potential for late night noise but that didn't happen. The rooms are smallish but clean and well maintained. We had a great stay!

3 complaints - had to wait 40 minutes before room was ready - sat in lobby & watched 4 other rooms be assigned to other arriving guests
-Daily 'Happy Hour' didn't happen on Sunday?
-Restaurant associated w/hotel advertised as open daily - well it was closed when we went to have breakfast Monday morn prior to leaving for airport
Im a planner so it frustrates me when plan goes haywire - property was clean & cozy - if they stuck to script l'd be more satisfied - was not inexpensive

I adored my stay here. The staff are so friendly and helpful. My room was small but it what was I needed. AC worked well. Room was clean and toiletries were supplied (shampoo, conditioner, soap) which was a plus as it was less stuff I had to bring. Very close to the attractions and Duvall was a short walk away. I loved the quirkiness of the place. The heated pool and hot tub were wonderful. My stay at the hotel was the highlight of my vacation and I will definitely recommend them. Great job to all that work there.

Gnats in room. Unfriendly front desk staff. No air conditioning in the lobby or common areas. Asked for a fresh set of bath towels and was provided a bath floor towel that was severely ripped around the edges.
Some staff are very friendly. Free sunscreen and bug spray. Free iced tea and cold water.
Overall, would not stay there again or recommend.

I stayed for 4 days, 3 nights and this is my full review.
The pro's: location is good! This is only a ten minute walk to Duval street, only a ten min uber to the airport, is tucked away in a quiet part of the island, the AC works really well in the room, the happy hour you CANNOT beat and the bartender was awesome. Also, enjoyed the pool as well.
The con's: I found the staff to be borderline unfriendly, staff was only okay. They didn't let us know about bike rentals or pool hours (pool is open 24/7!), the bed is extremely firm, lastly: the bathroom mirror is mounted so high you

All these places are pretty costly so it's nice to visit one that is ready to step up should there be a problem. Upon arrival we found a problem and fixed it. The owner took it seriously and worked to redeem herself immediately. We had a really tight itinerary this stay, so we only needed the space to sleep and nothing more. The longer we stayed the more awesome the place became. It's older clientele was down to party and respectful at night. The happy hour can't be touched. The water temp in the clean pool and hot tub was perfect and close to an ice machine. Really liked the cold

Hubby and I enjoyed our 6th anniversary at this cute quaint little jewel. We stayed downstairs suite with a semi private hot tub and porch. Great service including a bottle of Prosecco for anniversary. Also a nice complimentary happy hour at pool side bar. Close to everything. Only a bike ride away. Only downside was a loud obnoxious group that stayed in room upstairs (cops called ). But not owners fault. We would definitely comeback.

This is one of the cutest boutiques I've ever stayed in. I booked through Hotel Tonight so seemed to have been bumped to the bottom of the nice rooms. Room was really small so it only suits for one or two nights for one person. AC unit is extremely loud so kept me up most of the night and being in the 100 rooms I was right in the path of people coming home late at night/ leaving early in the morning. The pool and outdoor area are amazing and the best part of this hotel - luckily it's where you'll spend most of your time. Staff are great!

Absolutely LOVED this place. Free beer or soda upon check in. FREE HAPPY HOUR like what?!?! How can you beat that??? All the staff are friendly and nice. The property is filled with hammocks and tree swings, perfect places to drink your FREE coffee or tea from the lobby every morning. You know what I loved more than all the free beverages (lol)? The fact that we visited in the middle of summer and didn't get bit by a single mosquito! How is that even possible in Florida during summer??? They must spray & have mosquito repelling plants. Or super powers.
Our room was cute and clean. We

The service here is excellent. The front desk person was amazing and outlined a map for us and walked us to our room.
Location is within 1 mile of everything.
I really like the outdoor walkways and the central pool.
BUT
The rooms themselves are terrible!!
At least mine was.
My friend booked a deal on Hotwire where you choose the stars, but they don't tell you the place. She got Eden House and I didnt know what it was.
When we got here, the room was RIDICULOUSLY small!! I stay in about 20 hotel rooms a year and it was the smallest hotel room I have seen in my life!!
Also, the most weirdest

This place was awesome!
We booked a room through hotel tonight for roughly $200. When we arrived the room was pretty small and on the ground floor next to the lobby. Randy helped us out and suggested that we upgrade if we needed more room. It was only $15 more for an awesome room! All the rooms were clean and nice- not sure what other reviews are complaining about.
They had a FREE happy hour which we were pretty psyched about. Parking was free as well (as long as a spot was available). They also had free coffee in the lobby.
The jacuzzi and pool were nice but we didn't have time to use
