Best place to stay in Key West. Everyone one the staff is super nice. Everything is within walking distance and it's not noisy.

From the moment we arrived, I knew this trip would be special. The hotel grounds were absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Even though it's just off Duval, it felt totally secluded and relaxing, like our own little oasis in Key West. The staff made the experience unforgettable. Trudy, Cindy, Alex, Randy, and Rose went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. And of course, the little bar quickly became our favorite daily tradition...our first stop every day at 5pm. Everything about this trip exceeded my expectations. I've traveled quite a bit, but this was truly one of my favorite vacations. We can't wait to come back! read more

Overall, what a great experience. From the first minute we walked in we were greeted and hit it off with a very friendly and welcoming staff. Trudy, Rose, Alex, Randy and Cindy when above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Can't wait to go back and see everyone again. Thank you! read more

We arrived at Orchid Key much before check in time, however, they could not have been more accommodating. They seamlessly checked us, told us about the resort amenities and showed us to our room. It's a lovely little resort, with old Key West charm and great service. The rooms have everything you need, including lotion, shampoo/conditioner, coffee maker, and small refrigerator. They also leave waters in your room, which is always appreciated. There was a problem the first night and they handled everything so well. We could not have been happier with the management here. Our room came with a lovely little breakfast and delicious coffee, as well as happy hour. It's so conveniently located, in the heart of everything, but not loud. And it's extremely clean and well kept. They also have bicycles you can rent right on property. Chris at the bar is wonderful. Housekeeping was wonderful. Honestly, every employee we spoke with or saw was pretty great here! We love the pool with the incredible palm trees surrounding it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming here next time! read more

Great resort. Room was well stocked and extremely nice and clean. We did not have an ocean view, but just outside the door was. Front desk extremely polite and helpful. This resort is undergoing renovations which we were unaware of during booking. I can't wait to see the finished product. Pool and outdoor bar were great. Lots of water activities also. Will definitely go back when they are complete with renovations. read more

Wonderful staff!! Great location. Clean spacious rooms. Right off Duval but really quiet almost like you are blocks off the main strip. Definitely a place I would stay again. read more

Second time here, this is the place my wife and I stay. It's a small hotel but that's better I think. They have a little bar for drinks at night by the pool. Very friendly staff, no complaints about anything. The real appeal of this place is the location. It is right on Duval street very close to the Hemingway house. Duval street is where you want to be in key west. My wife and I didn't rent a car so this location was important to us. Everything that is worth seeing is within walking distance. There is a CVS like 500 feet away to get supplies and Duval has great restaurants everywhere. Just walking from one end of Duval to the other is enough to keep you busy all day. The butterfly house is close by, the Hemingway house, and plenty of places to get an icy alcoholic drink. After you are tired from eating and walking and seeing all the sights it's worth it to be close to your bed! You can come back to the hotel and then just have a drink by the pool. read more

While a fun, little "upscale motel", this is not luxury. The very small guest room was clean and well kept, but I had a housekeeping cart in front of my door daily while they cleaned the entire corridor. Really? You have to park in front of a guest room all morning? She was however very friendly and smiled each time we saw her. Continental Breakfast is bountiful, but pedestrian and did not seem to vary much during our 5 night stay. Manager should address staff not eating from it and feed them elsewhere. The bar was disappointing. Your long term bartenders cater to their local friends and whoop up quite a party every night, but hotel guests can never get a bar stool and feel like the outsiders to their private event. Every. Single. Night. You may also want to audit the cash handling and "comp drinks for buddies" going on with your camera system. Lastly, giving up any hope of being able to enjoy your bar, I bought some nice bottles of wine to enjoy by the pool and these same cocky bartenders were snarky about helping me open and borrow glasses....please remind them what we pay per night to stay there. Trudy and the Front Desk team were terrific. Warm greetings, fond farewells and helpful with tourist questions. read more

This was one of the best mini-vacay I've had post COVID. We were greeted by Kat with a big smile that set the tone for the whole experience. Thank you, Kat, for being so wonderful. You made our 29th anniversary so special! It's a cozy boutique hotel with all the amenities needed, and the best part was the personal service. Can't wait to go back! read more

We recently stayed at the Orchid Key Inn and have never been treated or should I say catered to like we were Royalty! The hotel staff took our every concern to heart and made sure our every needs were met. One character that we will never forget was Cary. Such a beautiful and loving Soul. He is definetely the cherry on top of the most amazing stay n Key West we have ever experienced. Looking forward to many more getaways to Key West and staying with our friends at the Orchid Key Inn.

I thought about not writing this review but that would have been selfish. But then I looked at the past reviews and realized this review won't matter as whatever I have to say has already been said. From the facilities to staff everything was fabulous. The rooms are very well (re)done and spotless clean. The staff does everything they can to make your experience perfect. Although on Duvall St, we were at the back and never heard any of the noise it can create. It was really cool to have a bar on premises in case you just feel like staying close and having a drink or two. If you are looking for a great little place to stay, look no further. This is the place! read more

With the reopening, we are back for the first time. The place is nicely kept during our absence. The parking fee is now $20 per day including charging our Tesla @ 30A/hr (full charge from near empty is about 7 hours). We stayed at one of the suites. There is a large window that opens (although there is no view, only the wooden fence). read more

All I can say is WOW!!! I am convinced that this Inn made our first trip to Key West thee best ever. The staff is so accommodating, so friendly. I cannot say enough about them. Always smiling. Always helpful. The rooms are beautiful. The Complimentary breakfast is awesome and served by an amazing woman who when watched appears to be Super Woman. She was getting drinks, keeping food ready & available, restocking anything low & making sure tables were cleared for the next guest. The atmosphere here was so chill and luxe. We truly truly enjoyed our time here. Oh and the location is read more

The Orchid is adults only, which as stressed parents we very much needed! There is a peaceful secluded pool area, that is cozy and and beautiful. Comfy soft robes, and lovely rooms. While the Inn is nice, the staff is absolutely amazing. While we were here we had two people tend bar for us. Peter was kind and accommodating, and offered kind late night conversations. Tip him well, he deserves it! The second, was Alex on our last day. His personality was amazing and we ended up sampling a new liquor after just having casual conversation with him. We absolutely adore the staff here, and will come back for their kindness alone. The beautiful decor was a plus read more

Orchid Key sits on the corner of Duval and Truman which is an absolutely perfect location if you're looking to be close enough, but far enough.... The first thing I noticed were the beautiful orchids everywhere on the property, they were absolutely breathtaking! The rooms were tastefully decorated and spotless upon checkin. The property was clean and there is a small bar on site with a mixologist who creates great adult beverages. Very hard to find a hotel that deserves five stars in KW... great job! read more

Great location, clean ,staff are super inviting and friendly, waterfall by hot tub gives soothing atmosphere along with chill music in courtyard. Most hotels were doing NOTHING during Covid for their customers but Orchid Key went the other route! They offered breakfast and drink coupons for their small bar , complimentary cheese , snacks. We stayed here last after staying at the Pierhouse Dockside suite and the modern hotel H20, we found the sheets at Orchid Key best . read more

From the outside it looks just like a motel but once you step inside it is like a romantic oasis. From the friendly staff to the beautiful rooms, it was relaxing. We stayed here from Aug 9th to Aug 11th and Cindy at the front desk took extra care of us. The complimentary champagne for our special occasion was a very nice gesture as well. The bar was modernized with sweet bartender. Terry is very upbeat and friendly. The breakfast was continental style and decent enough. The grounds were clean and rooms were impeccable but I agree very small. Then again we did not really stay in our rooms. The pool and jacuzzi was a relaxing spot to hang out at during the night for us since key west temperture this time of year is hot and night time was cooler. Overall a very nice stay. We plan to come back again. read more

First time staying here was last summer... and yes, this place looks like a motel from the outside (cheesy neon lights included) but inside was wonderful! The rooms are fresh, contemporary & really nice - like a minisuite. The living room area had a couch and loveseat, coffee table, large flat screen tv and minifridge. The bedroom had a king bed & large flat screen tv, dresser/mirror & plenty of closet space. The hallway separating the bedroom & living area hosts the bathroom, which was split into a shower on one side of the hall and toilet room on the other side with lotion/shampoo/conditioner from Bath & Body Works. Central AC was nice & cold too. The room was immaculate with nice lighting and very quiet - you couldn't hear the party on Duval from here even though it was right outside your door. The property has a pool and jacuzzi, and breakfast is served on the patio bar (coffee, juice, tea, hard boiled eggs, bagels, pastries, cereal, fruit) though it's only avail. during the early morning hours. There is a small parking lot so you can ditch your car & walk or bike around town for the rest of your stay. Be sure to check out the complimentary happy hour at another of their properties just around the corner w/ wine & cheese, beer & veggie platters. All you can drink, a nice start to my holiday. Cheers to you Orchid Key Inn! read more

Awesome boutique hotel located on the corner of Duval and Truman. Staff super friendly, amenities fit the property, bonus on the Tesla destination charger. They also have onsite bicycle rental which is recommended so you can park the car, charge, and still rapidly get anywhere on the "old town" side of key west easily and quickly. The bonus of being on Duval is that you can go out on the town and can still manage to stumble back to the hotel with minimal effort. read more

I would have given this place a 5 star if our room had a tad more space. I know, I know........they had to upgrade the rooms and keep the structural integrity of the old building intact. The location is perfect; just on the edge of the quiet end of and the "action" end of Duval Street. Five Guys is across the street. CVS is a block away. All rooms are ground level for easy access. The commode's height in room 116 was compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, I believe. We will ask for a Junior suite next time and leave the smaller standard rooms for young adults. Seems the bigger rooms have the least appealing view though (not poolside). I love the poolside view of room 116. However, I will forgo the view and ask for a none-poolside junior suite next time. Call and ask for Brandon if you need assistance. He works daily except on Mondays. The indoor bar area is small but the bartenders do some special things with drinking spirits. The space is irrelevant unless the weather is unpleasant as there is plenty of poolside space just outside the bar's door jam. There is an array for breakfast (fruit, boiled eggs, breads (sweet & plain, yogurt and juices); everything except meat.The coffee is very good medium strength java for drinkers like me, not Starbucks strong (thank GAWD). The TV in our room did not have an HDMI connection even though the TV is a flat screen. That means your Apple TV device, for example, will not work so no iPad, iphone, or Mac mirroring. WiFi in our room and outside was full up. We were able to watch a WNBA game poolside via an iPad App with no lag time. Ask the pleasant desk clerks for discount coupons before you venture out. They will also suggestion activities if you run out of ideas. read more

My wife and I were looking for a nice spot to get away for a long weekend over Memorial Day and landed on Key West. Looking at recent reviews of some large (and expensive properties) down there, I found that many did not have great recent reviews. Then I came upon Orchid Key and its amazing reviews, so we decided to book it. This was a GREAT decision. The staff was super friendly, the amenities top notch, and the location was unbeatable to every place you could want to eat, drink or go to. Chris was an amazing bartender at the small bar attached to the property, mixing up great drinks to drink by the quiet poolside. My wife and I got our fair share of relaxation along with fun adventuring throughout Key West. They were even kind enough to give us a super late check out time (for a small fee) since our flight wasn't leaving until the evening. I would love to go back any time and appreciate the hospitality! read more

I did a ton of research before deciding on the Orchid Key Inn for our stay in Key West, in a word...PERFECT! The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and CLEAN. The staff was friendly & helpful.

I can't say enough nice things about this cute little hotel.The location on Duval is central to everything that we wanted to do and has on-site parking. The staff was very polite and welcoming. It was quiet and clean and the room was well-appointed with amenities such as a microwave, refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker. Another unexpected perk was the complimentary breakfast (which was quite a beautiful spread) and happy hour (free wine, beer and appetizers). We can't wait to come back! read more

This place was wonderful. We stayed for 3 nights as a quick getaway from our Midwest winters, and couldn't have been happier with our stay here.

On day of checkout, they didn't rush us out and we were able to leave our bags at the office while we enjoyed the pool, bar, and squeezed in some last minute fun.

So my husband and (two seniors)I were booked to go to The Orchid Inn in Key West with another couple in January the night before we were to fly to Florida my husband got out of bed and hit his head on the wall badly and felt very sick from the head injury so we canceled our morning flight and went to the ER as we didn't want to take a chance and fly after a head injury. Two days later he was also diagnosed with a positive Covid test!!! Needless to say I called the Orchid Inn left a couple messages with no reply finally around the third attempt they answered and I spoke with the front desk explaining our situation the girl suggested I send in the ER report and the positive test results which I did to hopefully get our $550 back based on us not being able to come. I spoke to Peter the manager he was uncaring and couldn't care less to help us recoup our loss. He even told me my room was under maintenance so even if I wanted to come it was not usable. I asked him if it's not usable shouldn't we get our money back?? He was not budging. All I can say is at these unusual and difficult times and based on our situation with plenty of time in advance to rent the room the right thing to do would of been to refund our $550.00. Shame on you Orchid Inn!! You have no class and no empathy!! read more

Def a hidden gem and a place I would return to. Our welcome by Peter was friendly and prompt. Our room wasn't quite ready as we were early by a few hours. Peter secured our luggage and we made our way to the cutest bar on property which was about 3 steps away. Inside was sparkly clean and behind the bar was the best part..Terrie and her infused vodkas. We had a blast with her all weekend. We booked a suite which meant our room had an extra living area. It was spacious, clean, and had fresh orchids. The room was quiet even though we were just a few rooms from Duval St. Great location, walkable to Southernmost Point, Mile 0, and downtown Duval. We took the Key West Express so we also rented a golf cart. They had plug ins and FREE parking for us. The pool and hot tub were clean and just right, wasn't ever crowded when we were there. Can't wait to go back and visit! read more

This gem is a combination of mid-century modern motel meets twentieth century comfort in the most delightful way possible. The staff is welcoming and this facility is located in the midst of historic DuVall street. The rooms, pool and patio area are secluded from the street due to some creative landscaping and the facility's design. The charm, subtle elegance and service of the staff make this hotel a must for any Key West visitor. read more

Near by you can rent bikes, golf carts or whatever you need. read more

Orchid Key is a great place to stay. The rooms are very clean. It seemed like the maids stopped by a second time each day to take away used towels and bring in new ones. The small pool and hot tub are perfect for relaxing. There is sun or shade during the day, whichever you prefer. The continental breakfast is amazing. No ordinary pastries here. Beautiful cinnamon rolls. No hot items though. There is a plate of cheeses and meat for the low carb people such as myself. And the best part is the front desk staff. They are amazing. Peter went way above and beyond and booked a sunset helicopter flight for us and the cab to get us there. He is a Concierge extraordinaire! I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet place to relax by a pool. If Tippi is at the front desk, say hi for me. I loved her enthusiasm every day! read more

What a great stay at the Orchid Key Inn. My mother and I had a week long girls weekend. We rented the suite with a sitting room/gorgeous bar with sleeper sofa and a king bedroom. First, the design of the rooms was tasteful and well appointed. There is a small refrigerator, microwave, keurig, and updated iHome. The sleeper sofa was incredibly comfortable. I never woke up hurting the entire week. The shower is so nice and bathroom has a separate water closet. The pool was never crowded. At times you may not get a lounge chair in the sun but there are plenty of tables of chairs in the sun so it is never an issues. There is also a hut tub which I did not indulge in seeing as it was 87 degrees out! The Orchid Key bar is amazing. They have an excellent drink and wine menu, they infuse their own vodkas and always have specialty cocktails. I loved their Gin & Juice as well as the Key Lime Martini! One of the bartenders, Terry, was our favorite - she was just so awesome and really made out stay. There were only a few cons - The housekeeping varied each day. The room was always clean but being on the sleeper sofa the whole week, every day something different happened with my sheets. Most days my bed was unmade, not a big deal but annoying. All the outlets in our suite were on the same circuit and the one night we blew it out with two hairdryers. We didn't realize the two rooms were connected. A littlw frustrating while trying to get ready for a night out. Last- the outlets themselves were so hard to come by. My mom had to charge her phone in kindle in the bathroom. I know they wanted to hide outlets but it made it impossible to plug in phones, etc. Honestly, this place is spectacular. I have stayed many places in KW and I will never stay anywhere else again. You are never a number and the employees take incredible care of you. I never met one person That did mot treat me with the greatest respect! Get me back to this hotel ASAP!! read more
