Property's Favourite Review
I LOVED my stay here, it was our first time at key west and we werent sure what to expect or what really to do. To start, the location is perfect. Its walking distance to everything we wanted to do (or a very quick ride share if we were feeling lazy). We ended up doing a few excursions and late night outs - the hotel was extremely accomodating in providing anything we may have needed. Not only that but the hotel itelf was so lovely. They have quite possibly the best breakfast ive had at a hotel, the pool and hot tub was great after nights out, and a fun sundeck for some extra rays. They also had a happy hour everyday which i highly recommend. My fiance and I are very shy and everyone here, from staff to guests, were so friendly and nice - its hard to not feel extremely relaxed.
There was one rainy day and even with that the room felt like a home away from home. The room was spacious enough for what we needed on a rainy day in and there were even umbrellas in the room for our use.
Yes key west was a good time, but this hotel and the staff were the cherry to the trip. I would absolutely come here again and recommend anyone to come.

Alexander's Guesthouse is the perfect place to stay in Key West. They have a convenient location on Flemming Street just a few blocks away from Duval (easy walk). Great for pool days and being lazy around the guest house. We have stayed in many rooms here and they are all super clean, comfortable and each of them have unique details that make it extremely charming. However, what keeps us coming back is not just the charm of the guesthouse, Its the AMAZING staff! You can tell that the General Manager, Laura, wants everything perfect for the guest and she ensures that the staff does the same thing, too. All the staff go above and beyond to ensure that you are having a remarkable and relaxing vacation, including Tim, as he is very engaging with the guest to ensure you are having the time of your life! They all provide you with amazing suggestions of things to do, places to eat and they will book everything for you so you can just enjoy everything that Key West has to offer. Recently we stayed there with a group of 16 for a total of 7 rooms for our 10 year recommitment ceremony. The staff played a VERY BIG part to make sure everything that week with our group, and day of ceremony, was non-stressful and just perfect. Me and My husband are world travelers and I can truly say that there is no one that runs a better Guesthouse than this team. Thank you Alexander's Team!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
This was our first visit to Key West, so also our first time staying at Alexander’s Guesthouse. We were warmly greeted and made to feel at home upon arrival. We stayed on the third floor and were pleasantly surprised that the folks at the front desk took our luggage to our room. We were offered an adult beverage right away, which was refreshing after a long day of travel. The front desk staff carefully covered everything we needed to know to have a pleasant stay. Every morning, a lovely, hearty breakfast was served (Sunday is omelette day!) and guests dined at tables around the swimming pool. Every afternoon, there was a happy hour where all drinks are free. Breakfast and happy hour really bring guests together and it’s easy to bond quickly. We particularly enjoyed meeting a group who come the same week every year from several east coast states. Each evening when we’d return from a night out, they would be out visiting at the pool so we’d join them for conversation and laughs (and even drinks and key lime pie) before retiring for the night. This was a milestone birthday trip for me, so one night we arrived back to find homemade birthday cupcakes from the Alexander’s staff in our room, along with a lovely handwritten note. It was such a special, go-the-extra-mile touch that greatly enhanced our experience. On our last day, we had to leave for the airport before breakfast was served, so the staff graciously put cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, milk and juice in our room the night before so we could have breakfast before we left. The whole visit, we encountered only warmth and smiles from the staff—from the front desk, to the kitchen and cleaning crew, the maintenance/yard guys, and our happy hour bartenders. When we left, we even got hugs from the front desk guys. In short, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The next time we return to Key West, there’s no question where we’ll stay because we now have a home at Alexander’s.

Our second stay at Alexander's Guest House was even better than the first....if that's possible! My years have travel have not exposed a guesthouse or hotel that delivers the hospitality, service and genuine friendliness found at Alexander's. Every staff member seems to go the extra mile to be certain guests are enjoying their stay. We appreciated the friendly "checkins" during the day as we walked by the desk or relaxed by the pool. It made us feel welcome. The breakfast staff was always gracious providing whatever we needed for a delicious breakfast. Housekeeping was prompt and worked tirelessly to make our accommodations sparkling as they dashed from room to room in the daily heat! AND the desk staff was by far the best I've encountered in all my years of travel. <applause, applause>
If you're looking for a relaxed getaway, savory breakfast, complimentary evening cocktail, friendly staff and guests then treat yourself to Alexander's Guesthouse. It's really that goooooood!

We have stayed in several other guest houses in Key West, but this was the first time at Alexander's Guest House. We cannot say enough about the wonderful accommodations and the warm friendly hospitality we received from the staff. The rooms are very clean, beautifully decorated and well appointed with amenities. The pool and common areas of the property are also well-maintained and provide a private and relaxing environment. Breakfast is provided with the accommodations with an extensive of menu items that are freshly prepared. Bike rentals are also available for rent on property.
We would highly recommend Alexander's Guest House and plan to stay there again on our next trip to Key West.

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to let others know how you felt about your stay!! We loved having you here toooooo! Thank you for noticing all the points created with care to ensure guests have a happy and relaxing stay. There is definitely a lot of outdoor space for sun time, relaxation time, Happy Hour time which is great if someone is feeling social, or many sundecks to quietly relax if someone isn't feeling sociable. Something for everyone! Thank you so much again and we are grateful for you! Laura and All of Your Friends at Alexander's (Note: ll outdoor tables and chairs are spaced accordingly to allow for proper social distancing, with masks needed when in lobby areas).

What a great place to relax at this oasis! Don't hesitate to visit this Key West gem and say hello to a staff that is TOP NOTCH! Hugs to all of them! The grounds are lush and beautiful and the pool area is ideal for a day to chill and soak up some sun. With the extensive decking one can socialize or elect to retreat to a more private corner of the grounds. The rooms are very well maintained/cleaned and have lush views of the Key West tropical foliage, which I love to see when visiting this island.

My partner and I have been staying at Alexander’s for the past 20 years. The guesthouse is nicely appointed and exceedingly comfortable. The location is ideal, at the end of Fleming street — quiet and secluded, but very walkable/bikeable to Duvall Street and all notable restaurants and attractions. Best of all is the staff who ensure an enjoyable stay for all and who really care about the guests and take pride in their work. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

The moment my partner and I walked into alexander's Guesthouse we could not have been made more welcome, not only by the staff, but by the other guests as well. my first impression was how clean, bright and airy the reception area was and I Tim offered us a choice of free tea or vodka cranberry.
The pool area is lovely and our room was clean and comfortable.
I would definitely stay there again if I revisit the beautiful Key west area.

We had the good fortune of having a free place in Key West pretty much whenever we wanted. When our friends moved to another tropical island we had to find accommodation that would fit our lifestyle, personalities and budget.
The reviews for Alexander’s were a big reason we booked and after our 5 nights there last week we cannot wait to return. Alexander’s is marketed as LGBTQ and friends of. My wife and I are friends to all good people! We also enjoy au natural sunbathing which is rare in Key West for male-female couples.
From check in to check out our stay was beyond expectations. Staff and fellow travelers were friendly and conversational. The grounds are immaculate and our room was clean and comfortable. I’d call out some of the staff however they are truly a team and I wouldn’t want to omit anyone!
If you want a cozy, clean, classy, relaxing reasonably priced guesthouse where you are treated like valued friends this is it. Many places make claims i.e. talk the talk. I notice the staff have a slogan on their shirts “Love Wins”.
At other places that would be talk. Alexander’s staff walk the walk and they don’t just win, they are the champions. We cannot wait to return in April for 2 weeks!!

I had a wonderful time at Alexander's. Compared to other B & Bs on the island, this was the best. The rooms were luxurious, the staff, and the other guests very friendly, and I enjoyed both the poolside (and whirlpool) as well as the breakfasts and "happy hour." It meant a lot to me that I could rent out a bicycle for the week, as, after an accident a few years back, (a texting truck driver slammed into my car in Quebec) I've been dealing with lumbar spinal stenosis, and cannot walk very far. Even though I'm only in my fifties, having the bike was a life saver. Without a care, I had the chance to compose some music, meet new friends, and have already booked a second stay for January 2021. Thanks to all the staff! Bob J.

Yes, as a frequent guest I can assure you that you would be welcomed with open arms (literally). They do a good job screening the callers who book a room there. Alexander's is gay owned and most (but not all) the staff is gay. They don't tolerate any un-friendly actions towards any of the guest based on age, race, sexual orientation etc. We are all one human family
You may bring your own drinks and beer, just be sure of no glass in the pool area. Drink prices at the bar and minibar are $6-$10.
Thank you for your interest in Alexander's Guesthouse. Clothing is required for the pool and the hot tub and on the main level of the guesthouse. We do offer two (2) clothing optional sundecks on the 2nd floor and the 3rd floor.
Yes, absolutely! Straight guests are definitely welcome at Alexander's Guesthouse. We welcome all friends, families and supporters of the LGBT community.
We are a warm, friendly, respectful gathering place for everyone.
Our motto is Love Wins! We embrace the One Human Family Motto as well!
