I am a photographer and visual artist and go to Key West every year for several days for business - by myself or together with colleagues. I am not this kind of person to spend a fortune just to sleep in a luxury hotel room somewhere. There are many better ways to spend money (especially in Key West :-) The... more

I traveled to Key West with a group of friends as part of our tour of Florida Keys. Being on a budget, we initially wanted to stay in the dormitory part because we heard that this was the cheapest option in otherwise very expensive Key West. The receptionist offered us a 3-day deal for a motel room that came less... more

This was my first and only stay in a hostel. We were 2 seconds from the bars but I might have preferred to slept on the beach. more

We went there, just for one night, and already at the beginning we had to pay the whole amount for our stay.. I thought, that this is really strange.. Anyway we went there and in the evening, the bedbugs came from everywhere... We had that already in another hotel and it was so difficult to kill them... so we didn't... more

Management response from
Michael Mihaylov, manager

I'd like to thank Raacheel for this review. We took this complaint very seriously and right after the guests left, we closed the room and checked it. Did not find any sign of bugs. We contacted consecutively two of the biggest US pest control companies to inspect this and all other rooms. The technicians from both companies did not find...

Hm...this motel was the cheapest deal we could get in Key West (about 89$!) with a "ok" status on tripadvisor, so we booked it but would not again. We booked a private motel room for max. 2 people. What's good: the location is good, it's a walk to Duval Street but a drive to nice beach places, the fridge, coffee... more

I think you should be outdoors having fun in Key West while you are there. If this is your motto too then this hotel is fine. It is a bed with A/C, TV & a bathroom and that is it. The mattress and pillows sealed in plastic under the sheets which is a little loud and annoying but at least... more

If you are low on budget, this is definetly a good hostel! We were kind of afraid that it would be a disaster after all the reviews but where pleasently surprised after we arrived! We were a bit early (check in after 2.30PM) so we walked to Duval Street to have something to eat and drink.. I would say it's... more

We came for only one night, but were surprised in a good way! THe location of the motel is good; seashell is litterally 5 minutes from Duval Street riding. It is a nice neighbourhood also! We rented at the motel bicycles and we enjoyed every minute of it. The manager is very nice, warm and helpful. He takes care of... more

Some good things - lots of rooms and great location. Some bad things - no contact with office after 9:00 pm (so how do you get the computer key?) or resolve a problem. Clearly they state "no alcohol" but who's to regulate that? Was there on 'spring break' and many of the younger hosteler were drunk.. lol.. but still very... more

I booked a night in the hostel by mail and they asked for the total fare at the time of the reservation with no chances of refund! This happened over a month before the arrival date! Speaking of the rooms, they were very much decent, only problem was that there was 1 toilet and 1 shower for 12 people because... more
