Amazing hotel in a great location. One of those places that just makes you feel at home. Pool and gardens are great places to beat the heat. And to top it off, my wife and I cannot stop talking about how comfortable the bed was. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Key West.

This is the best B & B we have stayed in over our 50 years of travel experience. The room, staff, pool area, amenities, breakfast and general atmosphere made us feel like we were truly welcome and not paying customers.

The garden area is beautiful and Sunday evenings at 5 pm in the winter months they have a jazz quartet playing. We sat at little tables and had drinks and bar nuts and enjoyed the delightful music. I think this will be one of my favorite memories of key west for years to come!

The perfect spot in Key West. So close to the main street but far enough away that it is quiet.
The staff go above and beyond to make sure your stay is wonderful.
The breakfast is a great way to start your day
The room and bed is really comfortable
The bar and pool area is the perfect spot to chill for an afternoon
If I could give this place a sixth star, I would.
Can't wait to go back!

Cannot say enough good things about The Gardens Hotel. First off, the staff/service was exceptional. They were so welcoming, friendly, and attentive from check-in until check-out. The location is PERFECT! Less than a block from Duval but still so quiet and peaceful. Now, the actual hotel and grounds are quite seriously perfection! The hotel has some interesting history, the gardens are gorgeous, rooms beautiful, beds are very comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. The animals were seriously just the icing on the cake... Tortoises, birds, and a cat. Absolutely loved it and we will certainly be

Simply put, The Gardens Hotel in Key West, FL is perfection for the sophisticated traveler. Old world luxury with modern amenities. The staff goes over and above to ensure an amazing stay. We've stayed here twice and have the best memories!

Peaceful, restful but only a half if a block from Duval St & all the hustle and bustle it offers! This is our second stay at The Gardens Hotel and this time we brought friends. We recommend The Gardens Hotel to everyone we know coming to Key West. There's just no comparison, it's in a league of its own!

Check out it's fascinating history

Spent part of our Honeymoon here. We will only stay here when we travel to Key West. Location is perfect within a short walk from everything, and only a block off of Duval. Very old school Florida vibe. Clean comfortable rooms and and amazing pool and gardens. We were totally relaxed and taken care our whole trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. We had a cottage all to ourselves. It was very clean and comfortable. The A/C wasn't working, but all it needed was new batteries in the remote which was promptly taken care of. The bar and bartender were awesome. Loved the wine room. Loved the turtles and birds! All the employees were courteous and just absolutely wonderful. I have already recommended this place to people and would stay here again if I were to go back. Thank you all for such a wonderful stay.

From the moment we arrived we knew this was going to be the most wonderful stay. The staff are nothing short of phenomenal. Each staff member we encountered was so accommodating, kind and most importantly appeared to genuinely enjoy their job. Our cottage was well stocked with snacks, towels, extra pillows and was absolutely immaculate. We stayed at the Gardens Hotel while we were eloping in Key West and everyone showed so much enthusiasm for our big day, it was really touching. We plan to come back to the Gardens Hotel every year to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you for the most beautiful stay

I have stayed in Key West several times and this is by far the nicest place!! I will not stay anywhere else again.
The property is so beautiful and the gardens are relaxing, all within walking distance to everything downtown. The wine machines and pool bar are a nice plus!! The hotel is very clean and very well kept up. It is an old house but has been tastefully kept clean and pristine.

Where do I even begin! This place is beyond incredible! It's secluded and private yet you are just a block off of Duval and all the action. You can't ask for a better property! The room was fully equipped with everything you need, all toiletries, bath robs, pool towels, umbrellas for those random rainy days, pool bar, I could go on and on. Already planning our next stay! Love it here!!!

In the spirit of a tradition started a couple years ago Ameal was looking forward to an evening of music and beverages poolside at The Gardens Hotel. This was the first time we have been able to attend since the start of the Covid response in Key West. I think the Gardens stopped hosting this type of event for a while. I was happy to hear that the entire place was booked, some 30+ tables spoken for but they did manage to squeeze us in thanks to our hostess Karen who did a terrific job, she was nice and attentive. The remainder of the evening was much less than tolerable however

My wife and I made a fairly last minute decision to head to Key West, which would be our first time. We checked out a few places to stay online and The Gardens looked really nice, so we booked. You never know what to expect the first time traveling to a place, especially the accommodations (when you don't read a single review) but we couldn't be happier. Our check-in was with David and he was super thorough explaining everything about his establishment and the island itself, the complimentary Prosecco was a nice touch! The staff here is super friendly, from all the folks cleaning in the

We stayed in the most expensive room, a separate cottage that faces Simonton Street. The cottage was spacious and clean with a super comfortable oversized king bed. Unfortunately, for $600/night it was a disappointment. While everything in KW is over priced, it was still a disappointment. The front desk clerk at check in was not friendly or welcoming... making us feel that she was doing us a favor. I asked for a Kate check out and her response was to call in the morning. Turns out she was at checkout in the morning! And at checkout she actually charged me for a bottle of water that I used to make

In the words of Christopher Walken "wowey wow!!" This is the fourth time staying at the Gardens and they just keep getting better! We keep bringing friends with us as we know they will love it. Great product, service, and ambiance! Tropical oasis that is always clean. They have done a great job of upkeep, maintenance, new painting and also complying with COVID protocols. Nice touches throughout such as new towels, piano player/singer, free bottled water, bug spray available, cool art around the property and giant African tortoises. Close to everything too. Keep on keeping on Gardens

A hidden gem! This place has been the best thing about 2020. The staff was thoughtful, Jay is a great bartender, and of course the setting is impeccable. We finally felt like we could relax this year. We'd go to Duval in the chaos and only want to come back and sit on the quiet front porch, or poolside gazebo, or hammock! They took fabulous care of us (think Prosecco on check in and daily fresh towels dropped off in a pandemic). It's so cozy, one of those places you are sad to leave. Would highly recommend.

This hotel is incredible. What a top notch place. I was hesitant to leave a review because I do not want it overcrowded! Came here during Covid and it was awesome. Great pool with a bar. The staff is 5 stars. The location literally couldn't be better. You're a 3 min bike ride from the beach and a 3 second walk from Duval! Best hotel in Key West, no doubt.

Ooo I loved.

About a block off Duval, this little B&B was amazing. We were there for about 5 nights -- and although, right in season and pricey -- definitely worth it.

The grounds are so peaceful - bird cages, koi ponds, a yoga area. There's an automatic wine dispenser (important) that I surprisingly didn't abuse while I was there. We landed one of the last available rooms - Historic #2 - with a wrap-around balcony and all of the amenities you'd expect.

The crowd is ~older~ & I only say that because it's Key West and you also have to be atleast 25 to check-in.

What a beautiful little piece of paradise! It's only a block from Duval street so you can walk there whenever you want, but is still tucked far enough away so you don't hear all of the noise that goes along with being so close to Duval. Upon check in you're greeted with friendly faces and glasses of prosecco, plus a little tour of the property. The hotel and grounds are absolutely beautiful and the cottage we stayed in was so cute! The 4 cottages share their own separate pool from the rest of the guests and it was just the right size and plenty deep, at least 6 ft at the deep end

This hotel is a gem...From the moment we checked in everything was perfect. The two gentlemen in the office are so nice. Loved starting out our time at hotel with a glass of prosecco handed to us before we even left the office . We were shown the grounds and pool and cabana on the way to our room.
Our room was wonderful...My husband especially loved the wine dispensing system they have. You are able to try (i believe 25) wines. You can do a taste pour, or mid pour, or a full glass.
The bartender at the cabana bar was so helpful and suggested restrains for us to eat at.
We were sorry that

One word, LOVELY! This place has lots of character and charm. Located one block from the center of Duval Street, this gem features spacious rooms, pleasantly accented, with a Key West flare. The grounds are well maintained and are beautiful to the eye. The property features a walk through garden with fountains, sculptures, a gazebo and a hammock. The staff was extremely friendly and greeted us with refreshing glass of sparkling wine. The price for our 2 night, including parking was $510.

What a treat! Great hosts Jim and David greeted us immediately. Settled us in and gave us great detail about the property, the amenities and our room. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The pool was awesome complete with floaties and doesn't close!
The grounds were beautiful and tropical with birds and turtles. Even the turtles were friendly. Jim told us to feed them hibiscus and they all came over.
Duval st is just a block away. Park your car and forget about it!
The wine bar (self serve:) is open till 10. Pool bar is also open. Last night there was live piano music 5-7.

Spoiled rotten. Two words describing how we felt after leaving The Gardens Hotel. We got lucky on this gem after finding one heck of a deal on hotels.com. The hotel is situated in a great location! It's a block away from Duval Street but far enough from the action that this property is quite and peaceful.

I loved my experience at The Gardens Hotel in Key West. I did a lot of research on Yelp and TripAdvisor to find a great location in Old Town, since I knew I wanted to be within walking distance of all the Key West attractions. And The Gardens Hotel couldn't have a better spot, right on Angela Street, half a block from the famous (infamous) Duval Street. As I learned on my tourist trolley tour, Upper Duval is more arty and Lower Duval is more party, and The Gardens Hotel sits right at that intersection.

From the moment I booked my room, I started to receive personal treatment from The Gardens
