    You can hear your neighbors through the walls.

    A graceful property with charm and style, The Gardens Hotel is an oasis in Key West. The beds and linens are sublime. The location is ideal. The eponymous gardens are special. The staff are genuinely additive to the experience, particularly Phil the bartender.

    Limited parking at $30/night, but this is probably expected in the narrow streets of the downtown area

    Excellent location, near the middle of Duval St. Nice pool and pool bar, set in the gardens of an old clapboard house, plenty of character

    I wish I could’ve enjoyed the wine bar but we kept missing the hours.

    It was a charming, hidden garden oasis! The pool was relaxing and appropriately shaded. The room was super comfortable , beautiful decor and super clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Off-street Private parking and conveniently located to everything. We will certainly be staying here the next time we visit KW. We couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you!

    I booked because parking was available but didn't mention that you had to pay extra for parking. Also didn't like full length mirror on the inside of the bathroom door, would prefer it on the outside of the door.

    Property was beautiful and quiet, many hidden gems on the grounds, including a hidden hammock. Enjoyed the poolside bar and the hot breakfast served poolside the next morning. Met the owner and she was very gracious. Room was so beautiful and well apportioned. They truly thought of everything. Have already recommended hotel to friends.

    A beautiful oasis for adults. Perfect location! The owner Kate and her hospitable staff were very accommodating. The delicious daily breakfast was included. The lush gardens and pool area were very well maintained and relaxing. The room was very clean and comfortable with daily cleaning service. We enjoyed our stay and definitely will return.

    The price for staying at the Garden's Hotel is a little higher than some of the other properties we have stayed at. The bar stools needed to be replaced or repaired as there was screw ends sticking out that were dangerous. The coffe maker did not work.

    The Queen's residence was a beautiful home. Very Spacious with a wonderful front veranda and private patio. The bed was very comfortable as well as the furnishings. Beautiful space for our stay.
