EDEN HOUSE, Key West

The hotel sits on a quiet, leafy street, providing a restful night's sleep away from the main nightlife. Duval Street is a 5-minute walk, while the ferry terminal and waterfront are about 4 blocks away. A free Duval Loop shuttle stop is located directly across the street, making it easy to explore without a car. The location is rated 9.2 out of 10, and is convenient for on-foot exploration of shops, restaurants, and historic sites. Several dining options, including a bakery and organic café, are within a 5-minute walk.

Room sizes and layouts vary dramatically by type. The Queen Island and Standard King rooms are very compact, with sinks in the main room and showers often lacking privacy; some have no closet or drawers, making unpacking difficult. Road-facing and ground-floor rooms near the lobby can be noisy, with thin walls and loud in-wall air-conditioning units. In contrast, the King Supreme rooms and suites offer generous space, separate bathrooms, proper closets, and often a porch or patio with a swing. The Apartment includes a kitchen and a sleeper sofa, suitable for families. Rooms have air-conditioning (some units are noisy), flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and tea/coffee makers (in select rooms; a 24-hour coffee station is in the lobby). Free Wi-Fi is available throughout but strength varies - some rooms have weak signals.

The hotel's own dining consists of the Tiki Bar (open afternoon/evening), serving cocktails and light snacks during daily happy hour (4-5 pm). Azur restaurant, located next door, offers Mediterranean cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests receive 20% off. Several other highly-rated restaurants are within a short walk, including Bien, Café Sole, and Off the Hook Grill. Room service is not available, but grocery delivery can be arranged for an additional charge.

The pool area is a focal point, with complimentary pool towels and sunscreen. The hot tub is available 24/7. A Tiki Bar serves drinks by the pool. The property also has a sauna, fitness centre, and spa/wellness centre (massage services available for an additional charge). Bicycle rental is available for a fee, and guests can use the on-site games room (board games/puzzles). A library and shared lounge/TV area provide a quiet retreat. Note that the pool is not heated during cooler weather; some past issues with health-code compliance have been reported.
