I can’t say enough good about The Gardens hotel. Beautiful decorating and landscaping everywhere you look … our room combined old-world southern charm with modern bath and great amenities. The staff treated us with kindness and warmth. The breakfast was exceptional and cooked to order! We had breakfast in a beautiful outdoor area.

Hidden gem hotel. Beautiful and secluded property right in the middle of Duval Street, but not on Duval Street so it’s very quiet. Very lush, great pool - after staying here I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Key West!

A wonderful atmosphere with an eclectic vibe. Live music each evening accompanied by nice wine and good conversation.The garden is beautiful with an amazing collection of rare Cuban pottery, diverse statuary and African Spurred Tortoises. Special support and care were provided by Ray, on site manager, who can make any island arrangements, and Doctor Phil, the pool bartender and philosopher. I hope to return soon and would highly recommend this centrally located gem a block away from Duval Street.

We stayed at this hotel during our trip to Key West and overall had a great experience. The room had everything we needed and even more — it was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent; the staff were friendly and always ready to help. The only downside was breakfast. I ordered avocado toast, but the bread was badly burnt, which really took away from the dish. Hopefully, it was just a one-time issue. Aside from that, it’s a lovely hotel, and I would happily stay here again!

Considering the hefty premium rates this hotel did not meet expectations and was just ok. Nice to have an EV charger though. Breakfast was very uninspired and bland, hotel could use some upgrades and updates.
