The guesthouse was clean, at a quiet and safe neighborhood, within the walking distance to a lot of restaurants and the Duval Street. Daily happy hours 4:30 to 5:30. The bartender was great and the pool was clean. We had a descent sized room. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! Everyone there were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The rooms are well kept and the bed actually feels great. We had a slight hot water heater issue for a few hours but the establishment reimbursed us a portion for the inconvenience. I cannot imagine staying at another place if I'm ever in Key West again. They just make you feel welcomed all throughout our stay there. I definitely recommend this place for a short or a long stay. read more

Truly amazing and the most perfect LGBT retreat. My 5 day stay here was absolutely perfect. I've never been to a hotel where as soon as you step foot in their property, you automatically feel a sense of relief, acceptance, and welcoming. The staff are all incredibly friendly, happy, and engaging. The grounds are clean and well-maintained. Located just a little under a mile walk from Bourbon Street and the gay area, this modern farmhouse is impeccably well-groomed and efficiently designed. We had room 3 which was small but fit a queen bed, tv, small fridge, closet, and a spacious bathroom. The common area in the back has a heated pool, a few lounge chairs, a large jacuzzi, a pool bar (open 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm for complimentary happy hour), as well as 2 roof decks (clothing optional). Their other amenities include daily complimentary breakfast, a welcome drink, bikes for rent and plenty of discounts to local businesses (from restaurants to bars to activities). The vibe is more relaxed than that of Island House right across the street. The guests and the staff feel like there is an automatic friendship, often sharing stories in the pool, at breakfast, at the lounge decks etc. My partner and I absolutely fell in love with Key West through this hotel and plan to make this a yearly visit. read more

Alexander's Guesthouse - pool - Guest Houses Near Me - Key West, Florida

From the moment we checked in, until we regretfully had to leave we loved Alexander's Guesthouse. Staff was 100%. We happen to be a lesbian couple, but would've stayed here regardless. They have at least 15 unique rooms, layed out between a few diff floors in multiple good sized cottages. The breakfast was at a good time 8:30-11:30 everyday which was large, varied, and delicious! They always have coffee, water, tea, and juice on hand, welcome cocktails, and daily FREE happy hour from 3:30-4:30ish (sometimes longer depending on the crowd.) We made friends, swam at 2am, took topless photos on one of the clothing optional decks, rented bikes from there, played on site games and more. going back again. We went midweek and it was a quieter crowd. As we left it seemed to get a little more amped, but everyone seems to respect an unspoken curfew. Davoll St & Mallory Square are a brisk 10 Min walk or $10 Uber (standard price really w tip.) read more

Everything about this place was excellent. Outstanding customer service. It was very clean. The complimentary happy hour offered top notch cocktails and beer. They even offered delicious frozen drinks that were perfect for the hot and humid month of July. They make you feel like part of their happy family. I highly recommend it! read more

We spent 3 nights at Alexander's Guesthouse and it was definitely not enough! Next time we will stay longer... The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful. They were also accommodating around providing vegan breakfast items for us. It was so relaxing to just spend time lounging in and by the pool. All the guests were so friendly. We didn't realize when we booked that it's a place people come year after year, often during the same date ranges. So people actually know each other, and hang out and talk. Even though it was our first time there, we were included right away. It's nice to look forward to going again and seeing the same friendly faces. Alexander's guesthouse also was quiet and calm, which we appreciated as we weren't looking for a party scene. read more

We had the most amazing time and this will be our go-to in the future. The owners, Robyn, Alexander, and the rest of the staff do everything to make sure you have the best trip. read more

This place is such a gem! Everything was seamless from start to finish. Mr. Tim even called me the day before so that we could expedite our check in when we arrived. Once at Alexander's, we were immediately greeted by Mr. Tim, who treated us like long lost friends. He gave us a personal tour of the property and went over pertinent details. When he showed us to our room (rm 10, highly recommend!), he noticed that the outdoor fan was not working. He had this fixed immediately the next day! (We got in right as they were closing due to covid hours.) Everything was spotless, and they exceeded expectations and made sure that everyone still felt safe with covid going on at the time. The decor in the house and rooms was beautiful. The pool area and garden was incredibly lush and tropical. If we didn't want to hang out on the outdoor bed (there was a separate outdoor area with our room), there were plenty of spots to hang out at the pool or one of the porches overlooking the beautiful property. Mr. Tim also set us up with bike rentals so that we could use them immediately when we got there. The bikes are definitely the way to get around the island quicker and without worrying about car parking. (There is street parking, but first come-first served.) The other part of our stay that was exceptional was happy hour every day from 4:30-5:30. They kept all of the fruity drinks (or wine/beer/etc) flowing! If it was after 530 and you still wanted to hang around at the pool/bar for more drinks, they would happily bill your room, with your permission. Nearly everyone we spoke to had been staying at Alexander's for years when they visited the Keys, and now we understand why. Will definitely be back. Thanks for the incredible hospitality! read more

Can't say enough about this place. Wonderful staff that go out of their way to take care of you. Delicious breakfast every morning. Beautiful and clean rooms. Fun and nice happy hour every afternoon. Highly recommend this place if you are planning a trip to Key West. read more

If your looking for low-key quiet and relaxing this is the place for you. It's the type of place to read a book and sit with it's ambient music that you can't hear it. For me I prefer if they would amp music a bit for afternoons by the pool (which unfortunately is shaded in 80% of the deck all day long). I can only take so much Frank Sinatra or ambient mood music turned to a level you can barely hear it. The breakfast is included and they do a nice job although it's fairly sugar heavy and the fruit was often not the freshest or best quality. It's defiantly above standards though for breakfast offered at similar establishments. The complimentary happy hour was too early in my book 4:30 is the time most people want to take a break for the pool as the sun is going down and take a break. But 4:30 is the appointed time. Disappointed in the selection. No beer included, wine was not drinkable and tropical mixed drinks aren't my bag. So that perk wasn't much of a perk for me. The rooms: nicely decorated although need to update bathrooms, need more storage, walls and doors are thin. One of the rooms I stayed in the main building had a glass door with blinds that let light from the hallway into the room at nite. A solid door would be highly recommended. Things like upgraded shower heads and nicer tiling would make a big difference. Storage in one of the rooms was an old tv cabinet that had no longer been utilized since flat screens were introduced...shoved into a corner as a place to store clothes...odd choice. Overall the staff was all nice and accommodating. The overall experience was pleasant although not sure I would make a point to return. A 3.5 star experience for me. read more

Recently stayed here for a quick two-night trip with my boyfriend. Beautiful B&B, great breakfasts, nice complimentary happy hour for guests each evening. Staff was wonderful and made some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. You can rent bikes directly from the B&B, and we spent a fun day exploring off-the-beaten-path Key West. Location is perfect - far enough away from the touristy/party side of Key West (Duval Street) but totally walkable to get there. Street parking can be a little tough, but once we found a spot we didn't need our car again until checkout. They have a lovely pool and jacuzzi, although we didn't have time to experience either. Looking forward to returning! read more

charming with elegance this place is a jewel with on a short walk to Duval. the there from front seat to housekeeping is warm and friendly the rooms are all unique just a delightful experience. what a great concept they have. you must try read more

The Guesthouse is a charming and well kept lodge. I liked the way it has been decorated and the cozy spaces to unwind, relax and just be. This is not a party house but more a of a somewhat stylish enjoyable and relaxed stay. The first day we were greeted by an amazingly friendly, professional and competent staff member. Her name is Laura. She surely knows hospitality. She helped us with reservations at local entertainment, restaurants and attractions. I say bravo Laura. Our room was VERY clean, I am a clean obsessed person and this place passed my inspection! Clearly the cleaning staff does a superb job! The room, as the rest of the house, was nicely arranged and decorated. The welcoming drinks and fruit infused waters were a great and welcoming gift! The outdoor pool and decks were very charming and nurturing. I really liked the ambiance. I hated though the smoking deck, so unnecessary and retro smoking is not healthy and exposing others to second hand smoke is not cool Breakfast was fine, not spectacular but fine We had a marvelous time at Alexander Guesthouse and would go back soon. Next time with friends. The location and reasonable price makes it an attractive lodging selection also. One sour note, Doug and Tom or whomever was the front desk staff on the day after our arrival should take some customer service courses. He needs to improve his skills. He was not very professional, competent, welcoming, or hospitable. He did however wore a shirt with a back inscription that read "Love Wins" which is fine so long as he reads it and more importantly practices it‍ In all AGH is a fantastic inn. We will be back read more

What a marvelous place Alexander's Guesthouse is! I recently stayed there with some friends and we couldn't have been more pleased. All of the staff was so warm and welcoming, and it was clear that they were genuine in their desire to provide the best stay possible. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their jobs and were truly happy to be there, and there were so many lovely details we discovered throughout our stay. We felt so comfortable, and I look forward to another trip in the future. The surroundings were beautiful, and the location is perfect. I've stayed other places in Key West in the past, but now that I've been to Alexander's, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. I recommend them wholeheartedly! read more

My friends and I spent a long weekend here getting two rooms. The property is absolutely stunning and give you a relaxing welcoming vibe. The staff is top notch and extremely friendly. They do offer a free breakfast and a daily free happy hour! Bikes are available for rent which I highly recommend. It's much easier to get around Key West and Uber's are kind of pricy. If you are looking for a fun or romantic getaway, I highly recommend you give Alexander's your business. read more

Alexander's Guesthouse - Guest Houses Near Me - Key West, Florida

I couldn't recall if I'd reviewed Alexander's on Yelp. If I already have it bears repeating! My wife and I had the good fortune of a free room at friends home 4 blocks from Alexander's for 25 years. They moved to another tropical island. We love where they moved however we still love Key West. Alexander's looked from the past reviews that we would "fit". And we have twice in 2021 and we go for 2 weeks April 2022. In every category one could think of the staff to a person is friendly, sociable and accommodating. Guests are from absolutely every spectrum and the interaction at breakfast and happy hour remind us of how ALL of Key West was but unfortunately sometimes no longer is. We can no longer spend a whole month at a time in Key West. When we can visit Alexander's is our home. Thanks y'all, see you in a couple months! John and Jen read more

I recently visited Alexander's and I am very happy to say that the service and staff hasn't changed since my last visit! These are the sweetest, most fun people you will ever get to meet on vacation. The poolside FREE happy hour is still one of my favorite times of the day. They also recently remodled some of the rooms.. gorgeous, AND I LOVE THE CRANBERRY BREAD given durning the FREE Brunch! Can't wait to go back! read more

Completely exceeded my expectations! Sadly we could only stay one night in Room 6. Loved the chic decor, warm staff, peaceful waterfall plunge pool and friendly cat Hercules. Many return guests who were all very friendly. We were the only straight couple which didn't bother me one bit. Bikes are available for rent and they got my husband a 6 pack of his favorite IPA for his birthday. We loved our room. Small but great decor, A/C kept us at the perfect temp and bed was very comfortable. Chocolate chip cookies (a lil stale), Andes mints, bird of paradise and nice tolietries. DVD collection and books in the lobby for guests plus a free happy hour an nice breakfast poolside included. Our room was on the second floor and we had a semi-private deck overlooking the pool where I enjoyed a cup of cuban coffee while my hubby slept in. I hope to return someday to our little slice of heaven! read more

A last minute decision to head to Key West to celebrate our first anniversary left me looking for accommodations. I found Alexander's Guesthouse and am so very glad that I did! From the moment we arrived, greeted by Tim & Brian, we were welcomed with a celebratory bottle of wine in our room. They then worked with a local baker to have a special "Happy Anniversary" cake made for us. Attention to details is apparent from the moment you step in the door. Comfortable beds, great pillows, clean & comfortable accommodations and the complimentary breakfast and happy hour each day make this place an incredible value! "Thank You" to all of the staff...you helped make our first trip to Key West and our first wedding anniversary extra special! We will be back! read more

Amazing all around. Excellent accommodations, friendly staff, and a wonderful vibe. My husband and I have been coming for years - our favorite place to vacation! read more

Stayed here for my first visit to Key West -- impeccable service. My room had huge beautiful french doors -- which were lovely during the day but at night too bright for me to get any sleep. The next morning I asked if they had any other rooms I could move to, but they offered to install blackout curtains instead. I slept soooo well!! Excellent concierge, lovely breakfast in the mornings, happy hour, turn down service, and bike rentals -- they make it very very easy to relax and enjoy your trip. Beautifully designed and centrally locates (bit quiet!) I would definitely stay here again. read more

It is possible to rate beyond a 5: I hereby so state to all @ Alexander's Guest House. Bravo. Thank you. I stayed at Alexander's for the first time in January 2013. I have already rebooked to return in 2014. I, as so many others, was welcomed most pleasantly the moment I walked through the street gate to the lobby entrance (thank you, Charlie.) Having read previous yelps but not having visited the property in advance, I was more than impressed and felt most comfortable. The Property is beyond the descriptives of it's website: charming, inviting, quiet, well groomed and convenient to all of the township. Each room is different in decor and views - but most have a wet bar, microwave, refrigerator, TV, free-wifi (I was in Room 4.) Daily maid service: spot on - an abundance of fresh towels and toiletries (h2o.) Each morning a complimentary buffet breakfast is offered: hot dishes, cold cereals, fresh fruit, pastries, juices, yogurt, coffee.......lovely and filling. A complimentary happy hour is hosted each afternoon @ 5: a GREAT perk and a GREAT way to meet fellow guests. The pool and jacuzzi are available 24/7: NICE. Alexander's Guest House has all of the amenities (and more) than a 5 Star property/major hotel in KW or anywhere. The staff "quietly" goes about their day to make sure that every consideration is afforded every guest. Thank you to all @ Alexander's who I may not have met. Thank you Angie, Jeff, Michael! You made my stay most, most enjoyable. read more

Excellent bed and breakfast. Super friendly staff that helped me plan a surprise birthday getaway months in advance. Awesome decor and excellent location literally walking distance to everything. Complementary breakfast was very delicious. We stayed in room number 10 which was gorgeous. read more

My partner, cousin and two friends made our first trip to Key West to celebrate my birthday and the staff at Alexander's made it extra special. Jeff was an amazingly thoughtful and courteous host as was Ryan at the front desk. Their suggestions of what to do and where to go were spot on and they helped us build an itinerary that made every day interesting and wonderful. In addition to the great staff, the facilities are excellent. The rooms gorgeous and the common areas well maintained and inviting. The pool & hot tub were just heavenly. I would strong recommend this to anyone; especially couples or anyone celebrating a special occasion. read more

Stayed here for my first visit to Key West. The property is immaculate and the staff is accommodating and friendly. This is a great spot if you're looking for a relaxing stay. It's also close enough to the lively Islam House across the street to be able to enjoy both party and relaxation. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who visits Key West looking an LGBT friendly space. read more

Surprised my husband with a trip down to Key West for his birthday back in December and I chose the Alexander to stay at for the night. Yes, we were the only straight couple staying on the property that weekend, but all we were looking for was good service, nice property, good food, and nice decor (no Golden Girls decor here!) and we got it all here---so what more can you ask for?! We had a bungalow by the pool and thought it was very nice! Only downfall was that the TV remote was broken and when I got up to push the channel button, it got stuck! Oh well, maybe it was a sign to move on from watching TV and drinking champagne on to better things ;) lol I would definitely take the Alexander into consideration again on my next trip down and hope you do too! read more

We stayed here for a couple of nights last week. The staff, accommodations and other guests staying were all wonderful. Our suite was clean, had a mini fridge, microwave, etc. nice breakfast and social hour in the afternoon, no problems with free parking on the street. We will definitely stay here again! read more

Just got home from 4 nights at Alexander's. This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy our vacation in Key West. The staff was welcoming, accommodating, and friendly during our entire stay. Complimentary breakfast and afternoon happy hour was always fun and very sociable. What made this different from a typical hotel, is that this place is small and intimate. The guests all sort of get to know each other. By the time we checked out, we had made many new friends that we will stay in touch with. The rooms are clean, and the place is classy and understated. Great for couples or anyone looking for a nice relaxing time with a friendly crowd. If we make it back to Key West in the future, we are definitely staying here again. read more

If you're used to staying at hotels when you travel, staying at a guesthouse requires a change in mind-set. There may not be a 24-hour front desk, or a valet to bring the car around whenever. But, be prepared to sacrifice the anonymity of a cookie cutter chain for a more intimate, personalized experience. The very best guesthouses deliver a superb experience with top notch service and leave you wondering what you ever saw in a hotel anyway. And Alexander's Guesthouse is the cream of the crop at delivering a superb experience. The very visible front desk employees deliver extraordinary personal service. They know your name, what room you're in and engage with you as you come and go, offering help with any need along the way. They take your pleasure personally and feel it's their responsibility to ensure you have a good time, with helpful suggestions catered to your travel personality. Maps, tour tickets, bike rentals, dinner reservations, excursions - they do it all. When Agnes heard that the guided cemetery tour wasn't happening one morning, I had a printed copy of the self-guided tour almost immediately. They are a font of knowledge that you won't get at a hotel chain. It's not quite Anna Madrigal, but you will feel like family. Kudos to the employees I interacted with the most: Agnes, Jeff and Charlie. Guesthouses also have a personality. Alexander's is one of peace and quiet, inclusiveness and relaxation. Everyone is welcome. Period. And that sort of welcome allows everyone to be themselves, to relax and enjoy their vacation. It's a job they do well. The rooms are well decorated and cute, the expanded continental breakfast is delicious with a little individual touch each day and the hospitality is unparalleled. There's a reason Alexander's is rated at the top of the travel listing for Key West. It's their dedication to providing you the best experience possible. read more

I'm almost reluctant to write a review of Alexander's because its like my partner's and I little secret! Firstly, Key West can be a very hot place. Even though I was born and raised in Tampa, coming to Key West was like stepping on Mars. The good? Alexander's provided a level of comfort and relaxation able to make me forget how d*** hot I was! This place is pricey, but i'd say it's worth it. Pool is fantastic, and happy hour every afternoon (free drinks) brings out all the guests in one, big gay get together! The staff is amazing and accommodating, and more than willing to make your stay extra-special. Location is fantastic--close to everything yet secluded in its own way. I miss you Alexander's... read more

This place is the epitome of fabulosity in Key West, and I would return in a heartbeat. Upon arrival you will be made to feel like an old friend, and the entire staff couldn't be any nicer. We booked room #14 right off the hot tub and pool area, and it was the PERFECT place for us. The room was very clean (and cleaned efficiently each day as requested) and quite comfortable. The daily happy hour is the perfect way to start your evenings in paradise. I can't comment much on their breakfast offerings, as we ended up sleeping in each day (too much late night fun, lol). My only complaint would be that the water pressure could be a bit better in the shower, and the temperature tends to fluctuate suddenly while bathing. This is easy to overlook based on how great everything else is. Hope to see you all again in the future! read more

My partner and I were very excited to stay here for our first time in Key West. We had a long drive and we're greeted with cranberry vodkas at check-in! I was worried about the parking situation as there is only street parking but we got a spot directly in front, only moved our car 1 time and returned to an even closer front spot! The Guesthouse is located only a few blocks from Duval Loop stop #16, super conveniently located. The staff is all friendly especially the employees at front desk. They have a complimentary happy hour 4:30-5:30 with a good amount of mixed drinks on the menu. You can also ask the bartender to make any drink you'd like. We stayed in room #5 which is upstairs in the main house overlooking the pool. There was a mini fridge, HUGE TV, and great lighting for make up at the sink. We only made it to breakfast one morning and was typical of what you would get at a free breakfast. They had a chef making omelettes, hard boiled eggs, good Cuban coffee cake, fresh fruit. It was good for a light bite but if you want a big brunch I would recommend going to one of the many brunch spots Key West has to offer! Would HIGHLY recommend! We will be staying here on our next Key West trip! read more
