    Complimentary Breakfast
    Jeffrey R.

    Paradise! Located one block from Duvall St in Key West. We stumbled across the hidden gem on a one nite stay. It's a Bed and Breakfast and it was our first time. I hope they are all like this! Surrounded by a lush garden this hotel has options which include a larger building as well as other units that had four private suites with a large shared porch with ceiling fans. Walking into our room was like stepping into a vacation brochure! A spacious rooom with any amenity you'd need. The bathroom was beautiful! We also had our own private back porch. The ground included a turtle den, a large caged bird area as well as statues and a gorgeous kidney shaped pool. A glass of complimentary Prosecco was included and they also provided all the pool essentials you'd need. They serve nice breakfast also pictured which changes. So close to bars and stores galore. We will be back for the friendly excellent service!

    The Gardens Hotel is quite the opposite of sterile and corporate. Truly a magical place, they offer gracious service and comfortable lodging on beautiful grounds dressed up with Asian-inspired art, a koi pond and a tortoise sanctuary. A block off rowdy Duval Street, the place felt like a quiet sanctuary to return to after a day of sightseeing and imbibing. Centrally located in Old Town, we could walk just about anywhere. The Gardens Hotel offer various kinds of accommodations ranging from guest rooms in the main house to larger cottages. Our courtyard room was spacious, quiet, immaculate and beautifully decorated with a shared outside porch. It was too cool to swim when we were there, but the heated pool looked very inviting. The daily rate includes a hearty breakfast including eggs, meat, toast, biscuits, yogurt, juice and fresh coffee. They even hold free weekly Sunday jazz concerts, well attended by the local community as well as hotel guests. We saw Debra and Patrick Lawler who were sensational musicians. The affable hotel owner Miss Kate was frequently on the property greeting guests, along with her adorable dog "Tiny". Nancy and Rhoda in the front office were genuinely friendly and helpful as well. Absolutely loved my experience at The Gardens Hotel and plan to return my next visit to Key West.

    Perfect getaway! Highly recommend staying at this lovely place. Staff is kind. Breakfast was delicious. Property is safe and clean. And the location is perfect. A block from Duval and it's in the heart of old town. I would definitely stay here again

    Traveling to Key West for our anniversary was a last minute decision, but luckily we were able to get a room at the Gardens Hotel. The staff was super friendly, but the facilities were amazing. We felt like we were in an oasis of tropical splendor where the pool was kept at a perfect temperature, mellow music was piped around the grounds, and leaves were constantly falling to the ground. We felt pampered by the tasty breakfast every morning, enjoyed the electronic wine tasting bar, and took in the live music every afternoon. Our room was very comfortable, air conditioned and reasonably spacious. Slept like a rock the whole time. The only negative was that we were forced to change rooms on the next to the last day (we weren't informed ahead of time even though we booked directly). Still all in all a very pleasant stay.

    Is there a better hotel then this? I think not. They have everything. Great staff, great accommodations, great restaurant, great entertainment. Wow I was blown away by their garden that is so special. Turtles, fish, cat, and many relaxation spots. This is really a hidden gem. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a hotel as much as this one. I will be back here anytime I come back to Florida.

    Jazz band in the garden Sunday nights!

    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!

    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 and book your stay here: https://www.gardenshotel.com/history.htm

    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!!!

    The Gardens was spectacular. The host welcomes you with a Prosecco and a guided tour of the grounds. We had an amazing time and will return.

The rooms are comfortable and full of personality, with small details that make them feel lived-in rather than staged. Outside, the gardens are the star -- leafy, quiet and perfect for lingering. Our room had a wraparound porch and a hammock. Breakfast isn't an afterthought. It's fresh fruit, homemade dishes and good coffee served outdoors, slow and unrushed.

The Mermaid & The Alligator is hands-down the best bed-and-breakfast in Key West, and honestly, you'll wish you never had to leave. Housed in a 1904 Victorian mansion right in the heart of Old Town, this independently owned gem has the kind of charm chain hotels only pretend to have. Think wraparound porches, lush tropical gardens, orchids dangling from banyan trees, and a vibe so tranquil you half expect Hemingway to stroll through with a daiquiri. The rooms? Gorgeous. Each one feels personal, with Caribbean-inspired decor, canopy beds, and soft linens that make it way too easy to "accidentally" sleep through your Duval Street plans. Outside, the gardens are pure Key West magic: fountains trickle, palms sway, and yes -- the occasional rooster might strut by like it owns the place. Breakfast here is its own event: fresh tropical fruit, homemade pastries, quiches, and strong coffee served in the garden. It's the kind of peaceful start that makes you consider selling everything, moving here, and writing your memoirs. And because it's independently owned, the hospitality feels personal -- warm, genuine, and full of little touches that make you feel less like a guest and more like a friend who lucked into paradise. The Mermaid & The Alligator isn't just a stay; it's a love letter to Key West itself. Come for the charm, stay for the breakfast, and leave plotting how to "accidentally" extend your trip.

Each room comes with actual keys to get into the front door of the guest house and into your actual room. There's cameras located in the common area. There's patio areas to hangout and the home is on Duval street. The prime bars and food spots were 5-10 min walk. The beach (Fort Zachary) was a 20 min walk The rooms were not super modern, but it was comfortable. It came with a tv, iron, mini fridge, and fresh towels. You don't hear the actual noise on Duval street from the bar. I heard more noise from guest moving around and slamming doors. I would definitely recommend packing eat plus if you're a light sleeper. Especially if you're on the main floor near the front door. They provide a small continental breakfast including boiled eggs, freshly baked pastries from a local spot, cereal, oatmeal packets, milk, juices, and coffee. There's also a donut and coffee shop next door with THE BEST donuts EVER!!! It's called Glazed. The service was great! Foster is the main go to guy for questions and needs. He was super kind and helpful. He gave us really good recommendations for places to see, eat at, drink at, etc.... Overall, I would definitely stay here again. It's a prime location, clean, affordable, and good service. If you book directly through their website you save 10%.
