    Absolutely great hotel, located in good proximity to the island adventures. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Amenities were great. The 3 room 3 both suite was AWESOME. One master king bed on bottom floor, one cali king suite with glass shower bathroom, and a 3rd suite with 2 queens with matching bathroom. 3 balcony exits for a front and rear balcony. Pool was clean and had good toys for kids to play with. Complimentary water and sparkling organ spritz on multiple areas of hotel. Would return here again.

    The rooms were very clean and spacious! The kitchen was filled with enough culinary to cook. The AC was nice and cool! The pool area was very nice and equipped with bottles of water, cold towels, and pool towels. The facility was very clean and the staff were very kind! The water in the shower did not get super hot unfortunately. You can see the ocean from your balcony, but it did not have beach access. The road between the water and hotel was sometimes loud. It is a 10 minute drive to Duval street! Ride sharing was always available and inexpensive! Overall it is a great place to stay!

    Great for large groups and very nicely decorated and clean. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We had a 3 bedroom suite and it was just the right size. The room and bathroom sizes are spacious. When we called the staff for extra toiletries, they attended us quickly. I also liked the amenities at the pool which had water and sodas as well as cold face towels. I would definitely vacation here again. It's not close to Duval street but it's easy to get a shared service car or taxi.

    I live in las vegas and come to key west every December for my birthday, the Laureate Key will always be my home away from home! The service, rooms, cleanliness, and all around experience is 5 stars for me. It's close to downtown Duval street, shops, restaurants and grocery/shopping centers. This is one of the best hotels in key west (imo!), you will not regret staying here! (When I say close, I mean it's within a 5min drive..not necessarily walking)

    Waited about 20 minutes to check in and wasn't even properly greeted which wasn't a very welcoming feeling. Once we got checked in parked in the back, parking was free. Room was nice, clean , came with a kitchen which included plates, pots , pans sponge and soap, mini fridge , and a little lounge area within the room. Definitely a nice room. Would stay at again if it wasn't to pricey.

    Stayed at the Laureate in Key West from 10/23/23 until 10/27/23. Like the chickens, the roaches must be on the endangered species list since they roam about freely at night and hotel staff live communally with them. When told of the issue, hotel staff took a confrontational approach with the guest(s) while defending the hotel's nocturnal population, bugs. The rudeness, lack of professionalism and curt behavior made the trip less than ideal. I support the endangered chickens. I would like the ban repealed regarding killing roaches. Laureate, please get political and join me in removing bugs from guests rooms! Seriously, the pests were a problem but the staff exacerbated the issue. Not coming back to bug fest. See photo of killed bug and bill indicating $50.00 dollar roach discount/ credit!

    Beautiful rooms. This hotel is clean and comfortable. Guest service is fast for any request. Would definitely stay here again.

    Rooms were clean, very spacious. Had a water problem due to the air conditioning, but other than that, I would say here again.

    Sad for the resources and time spent here that I wont get back…read more Sometimes you can't trust your friends judgement on accommodations. We wish we had checked out and stayed at Marquesa hotel instead. But everyone was at the same hotel for the weekend so we stuck it out. For the price point, ones expectations are commensurate and this place was not even in the same universe as other hotels charging the same rate. The hotel is right on the water but in key west, the same can also be said for a gas station. Right away you know there's a problem because the elevator to reception smells like rotting seaweed (sargassum). The reception area seems like a guest room that was adapted and its small and dark and doesn't work. Then you get to the guest rooms from the year 1985 with chair railing and crown molding that has never seen a magic eraser in its life. Covered in 40 years of dust and who knows what else. The blinds have never been dusted or replaced in 40 years. Are you getting the picture? The head board had mystery smears on it. Floors were filthy with 40 years of accumulated dust. We dared not step one toe into the murky pool. We watched as guests sat there for hours, drink after drink, and never got out. Not even to use the bathroom? Ewwww. Every day the streets flood with high tide and poor civil planning so coming and going from the hotel means wading in ankle deep water and probably sewage, which is probably why the elevator smells so terribly. No wonder all the associates there seem so sad. I would be too if I worked there. I was sad for the resources and time spent here that I wont get back.

    For the price, we truly expected better. The staff is friendly and the spa service was very good…read more Breakfast at the tin roof was pleasant and the bartending at all venues is very good as well. The hotel is undergoing a rather imposing renovation, which is definitely needed, but they should consider lowering their prices until post renovations.

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 got the standard room (no upgrades) after the Hyatt screwed up our reservation and we were scrambling to find accommodations last minute. But ya know what?! This place was so much better! I can't rave enough about Eden House. We are definitely staying here when we come back!

    ***Buyer Beware*** This hotel is a scam. They advertise…read morerooms with queen size beds that are clearly full size at best. I actually measured the bed and it was far smaller. On top of that the room is almost closet sized with an exposed shower and sink which makes it feel very humid in the room. Theres barely enough space between the bed and wall to walking into the room. The shower also hadn't been cleaned with a piece of old soap stuck to the floor and bug crawling under the pillow when i moved it.. I brought it to the attention of the man working the front desk who first told me it was a queen. The GM came on later that evening and admitted that it wasn't a queen and offered us a slightly larger rom but same size bed. Again the sink was in the room and it was stuffy and humid which made it hard to sleep more than four hours. I canceled the room after one night and tried to get my money back, but they've refused. Do not stay at this hotel. The "queen room" is basically just a hostel at hotel prices. $260 a night in my case.

It was a relaxing Oasis just two blocks from the hustle and bustle of Duvall, allowing you to partake in all the day and night activities, but then escape back to your quiet, peaceful place to unwind! The room was much larger than we expected with a large living room area with desk and mini fridge full of different drinks, with more drinks of all types on top, with a variety of snacks! The bedroom was also large, with a large closet and a VERY comfortable bed in a room that darkened to allow us to sleep in one day. Both rooms had TV's if you wanted to unwind with different show types. The bathroom was gorgeous with separated dual vanities so no spousal battles getting ready, a separate water closet (also helps avoid battles :) ) , and a huge shower with a great dual shower head fixture including rain shower. Given the propensity for high temperatures in FL, the AC in this place was great and ceiling fans kept the room as cold as you wanted. The pool areas were little botanical wonders full of great foliage, comfortable lounge chairs and just gorgeous serene surroundings. There were usually only a few adults there so it was a quite paradise to go read a book in the shade, lay out in the sun, swim or just relax. I'm not much of a pool guy, but even I enjoyed our time at this one. The lobby area is really cool with a refreshed vintage house and vintage furniture and decor. We ate at the cafe one day for breakfast and got great service and a pretty good meal. The staff was mostly friendly with a few more mellow younger folks, but some really nice housekeeping staff who joked with us! The only issue I could see is potentially the parking. We got lucky and found some on street spots but if not, I couldn't tell if they had enough parking and it's a little pricey at $30/night. This kind of quality doesn't come cheap, but we will absolutely splurge and stay here again if we return to Key West and have already told others about it!
