The staff was accommodating, updating us with texts at each step of the way. The breakfast was the best we’ve had in a long time, prepared by a talented chef.Our room was on the third floor, and was clean and quiet . The Inn is just far enough from Duval street to be quiet but easily walkable.

The room was not dusted and you could see the lines of dust on headboard and telephone and on the baseboards like gathered up. The floors were dirty too.

Another fine stay, tho pool could be warmer

Another nice time at the Ridley (our 7th stay over about 10 years). Much, much improved breakfast! Happy hour sangria! Pleasant staff. Grounds look nice. Room was comfy, bed included. No kids at all. Our only notable disappointment was that the pool was just not warm enough. Please fix that and we’ll be back soon.

The Ridley House was a short walk to Duval and Mallory Square areas. It was a quaint, historic inn with great staff. What really puts it ‘over the top’ is Chef Andrew who made the most incredible breakfasts to kick start our day!

Very enjoyable stay

We took the Key West Express and spent the night. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had fun hanging out and sipping Sangria at happy hour. The breakfast was delicious and much appreciated. We will be staying here for the next visit.

Spent 4 nights at Ridley House. Very positive experience. Great proximity to all the things you might want to see in Old Key West. Room was clean and comfortable. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was amazing - great coffee, fresh fruit and juices, homemade muffins, and eggs prepared to order. Even Eggs Benedict. Highly recommend Ridley House. Would re-book without hesitation.

One Night Stay

Was a quick one night stay but the room was beautiful and had a great deck to hang out on. The way the rooms are set up it was like we had our own private spot overlooking the pool. Hotel is in a great location to walk Key West with ease. We didn’t need a car to get around at all.

We stayed at the ground floor, which I do not recommend. They serve breakfast each morning and start prepping at 6:30am and you hear every loud truck that passes the house on the street.
