Great rate clean and friendly
Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Close to all fun things Key West. I booked the 10 bed dormitory but had the entire place to myself. The front desk staff was so polite and held my bags until I could check in. This is an amazing place for the price!

Wir haben es ganz spontan gebucht. Die 100€ pro Person war es natürlich nicht wert, man kann aber dennoch nichts an der Unterkunft aussetzen

It is an excellent location walking to the exciting places. They should have a clear guidelines for free parking place, otherwise you have a risk to get penalty for illegal parking and tow truck fee. I paid USD55 ticket and USD250 tow tuck fee.

My room was a king room. Just enough space for 2 people. Big bathroom with great water pressure in the shower but only a trickle from the sink. There's no pool like shown on Google. It's a couple blocks from Duval st. That's where the fun takes place. $8 ubers anywhere on duval but you could easly walk. Beach access only a 3min walk and the southern most point is about a 5min walk.

The most budget friendly stay in Key West. Great location, cute property, friendly staff. Room had fridge, microwave and coffee maker. While property is dated it offers everything one needs for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend.

Will return!!
Warm and welcoming reception! We were upgraded to a larger room. The room was so comfortable, very clean (which was nice after a dirty hotel room stay in Miami), great open area to sit outside. Will return!! Thanks for the great stay. Loved having a tv to watch the Stanley cup final. We used the outdoor kitchen to make breakfast.

This is the cheapest place to stay in expensive Key West. It is located not far from the southern most point and has good, free parking. That said it is rather charmless, although it has a nice courtyard for picnics, relaxing, etc.
