Duval House

Don't like this reviewing system, "met expectations" looks like a "mediocre rating", but Duval house is better than that. Breakfast is a simple continental breakfast, not a big country breakfast like we've had at most B&B's, but it is exactly as they advertize, so it met expectations. As key west goes, we think this is one of the better mid-priced hotels. Rooms facing the garden are quiet, calm, etc. Duval st can be noisy, so rooms facing the street can also be noisy. We had a breezway cabana room which is tiny, but adequate. Shower was tiny. otherwise, GREAT!

This is the third year we've stayed at the Duval House and we brought 16 of our friends and neighbors with us. They all loved it. Although you will find many of the rooms small, they are clean and homey. The court yard and the pool are a great place to meet your friends in the afternoon and relax before dinner. We'll continue to choose the Duval house in future visits. GB

Stayed here with my girlfriend last week. I was vey impressed with how well kept the grounds were. It opens up to a beautiful courtyard, almost like traveling back in time. If you stay here I recommend the Standard Xtra room. It has a semi-private balcony, not bad for the extra money. What is great about the room is that the bed was very comfortable, the space was large and very clean, decent water pressure in the shower. Make sure you're up for breakfast, typical continental but great homemade waffles. Forgot to mention the awesome pool! Its heated and pretty big for a b&b, also the pool area is nicely kept. Really enjoyed my week stay there and will definitely return.

Enjoyed our stay at the Duval House. Room was comfortable, cozy and inviting. Further away from things then what we are used to but well worth the walk/scooter ride. We will stay there again. Didn't care for the coffee but walking right across the street to the French bakery didn't hurt our feelings at all. The selection at the continental breakfast was a nice array of fresh fruits and all the fixins'. Definitely recommend this B&B.

My husband and frequent Key West, we decided this time we would stay right on Duval Street, which was great. Its a bit expensive I thought, but really....its Duval Street so its expected. The staff was great, very friendly and very nice. The rooms, well they are a bit small, the bathrooms are outdated I thought, furniture was very old like from the 80's or something. The pool was great, very clean, the property was very nice and breakfast was pretty good as well. I would stay here again for sure, it served its purpose for us.

We had such a great stay at the Duval House! It is in the perfect location - quiet, yet close to the all the fun places on Duval. The staff is so friendly and helpful! Our room was small but well appointed and very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Key West!

This was our third stay here and we will be back again and again!

Great location, nice staff, felt safe yet right in the middle of it all. i'll be returning

The Duval House is absolutely the only place to stay on Key West. Very welcoming, very comfortable, very relaxing. Staff there are amazing. Charming, witty, courteous group of employees. They go above the call of duty with help. I can't wait to go back!

What a wonderful stay at the Duval House. We had a GREAT time. This place is where you want to stay to experience the real Key West Duval Thang!!!

Nice courtyard and pool area. Bathroom in our unit needs to be updated, refreshed.

Very nice place but a bit nisy since the party people came back at different hours and the rooms were not that insulated

Stayed here for a weekend and didnt account for Spring Breakers. Young folks are loud but I understand. Only concern was lack of exhaust fan in bathroom. Everything else met or exceded my expectations. Really nice and huge courtyard in the rear. Great location. Bianca at the front desk was very helpful. Thanks.

We were very impressed by the Duval House, friendly and very helpful. We will stay here again!

This historic home right on Duval Street in Key West provided us with a great 3-day GetAway. The grounds were charming and provided a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle that is Duval Street. We enjoyed the location which was within walking distance of everything we did. Our room, while relatively small, was very clean and comfortable. We would definately stay here again. Away.

Staff was wonderful especially the manager...they aim to please. Second time we stayed there and we would stay there again.

Wonderful property, pool and accomodations were well above average. Perfect location on Duval Street, near ever-thing.

staff was helpful perfect detonation located by most attractions.

Overall, nice place for the money. As for the room, we stayed in a two bedroom 1 bath "suite". But I wouldn't call it a suite. It was pretty small. It did have 2 rooms but each room was small and their was only 1 small bath. So 4 adults had to share which was not very effecient. However, they do have a shared bathroom for the complex that happened to be right outside our room that we used as well. Again, not great, but functional. Now, the complex. It was a very cute, cozy, intimate setting. The greenery in the rear make for a relaxed setting. Also, the staff was nice and let us use the pool and shower after our stay since we weren't leaving until the evening of our check out day. Location is nice too. It is decent walk to the other end towards the pier and the popular bars (10-15 min walk) but not too bad. Overall, we enjoyed it and would stay their again.

Our room was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. The grounds were well kept and despite the central location, it was very peaceful and relaxing. We would not hesitate to book the Duval House the next time we visit Key West.

There were 7 in our party and 3 of us stayed 2 nights. The rooms were very clean and the grounds are amazing. This B&B is located halfway down Duval Street. 8 blocks to Mallory Market and 7-8 to the beach/southernmost part. You have a mixture of being in the middle of Duval and the bustle, but your rooms are situated off the street and are quiet and peaceful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We will be going back on a yearly basis and will be staying here. I totally recommend this B&B to everyone. You will not be disappointed. From Largo, FL.

Beautiful gardens surround lovely and wonderful rooms. Service was wonderful and quick. This is a superb place to stay in the middle of Duvall Street. We will be back!

very laid back and helpful staff... would stay there again.... did not like the parking fee for a car,the only negative thing that comes to mind.

I stayed there several years ago, deciding to go as a side trip at the tail end of my stay in Ft Lauderdale. The rooms were beautiful; the staff/owners were friendly and extremely helpful; and you cannot beat a place right on Duval Street. And, a word on that...while the party outside was awesome, once inside or in the garden, you would hardly know there were throngs of people just a few yards away. In sum, Duval House left an imprint on my soul which I cannot shake to this day. To say I long for a return stay is an understatement.

Excellent location, yet so private you forget you're on Duval Street.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was very nice and the grounds are beautiful. We also thought the breakfast was very good.

Beautiful place to stay. Room was clean. Loved the courtyard, pool and great breakfast served. A must stay.

The place is a bit tired, good location,breakfast disappointing The owners could do so much with the rooms

We soooo appreciated the room upgrade when we encountered a plumbing problem in our reserved room......thank you!! The staff was warm and welcoming, friendly and helpful. And as always we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the lovely gardens, patio and pool areas. We've recommended your B&B to friends and acquaintances in the past and will definitely be back for another stay the next time we visit Key West. : )

The area is perfect. The room was a little small, but dirty. There were mold stains on the bed skirt, the floors were not very clean. However, as soon as I notified the manager someone came to reclean. Then it was fine. The hotel is pricy so all should b perfect.

Plan on staying at Duval House every time i go to Key West. Friends that stayed at other places, will now be staying at Duval House. The staff, grounds, and rooms were exceptional

Loved the Duval House. Have stayed there several times in the past, but they have remodeled the grounds and our rooms looked fresh and updated. The location is ideal, you are central to everything. Blue Sky Rentals next door is perfect for bike, scooters and electric cars. A great way to see Key West on hot summer days.

We had a wonderful time at Duval House, it is perfect for us. We will definitley stay there next time we are in Key West, It is beautiful, I did not want to leave.

My husband and I loved our stay. This location was awesome... right on Duval St!! The back area was quiet and private.. the pool was especially clean. The only reason this particular rating did not receive 5 stars across the board was because our room had a very tiny shower.. you could barely move in it. The value was excellent and I will stay here from here on out!! BUT I would upgrade the room because of the shower... 5 days and 4 nights with this tiny shower would absolutely make me upgrade. Thanks to all the kind and courteous staff!!

We were a bit skeptical after reading some previous reviews but decided to risk staying at the Duval House and are so happy we did. The Manager was very helpful by showing us around the property and giving us a folder of information on Key West. The other employees we met were helpful and kind. Our room faced the street and we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the people go by. The grounds were beautiful, peaceful, tranquil, and well kept. The pool was refreshing and relaxing. The breakfast, although simple, was very good. The location can"t be beat! Loved it and will return!

The staff went out of their way to make our stay amazing and helped when it was needed.

The outdoor area at Duval House was truly lovely--there are fern & tree lined paths, wide open areas with tables shaded by umbrellas, and a good sized pool. This really made the place stand out for me. The room was nice--sunny with comfortable beds. There were small areas were improvements could be made, e.g., placing a trash can in the main room in addition to the bathroom, replacing the very small shower head. The continental breakfast was not so great. With a fantastic french cafe directly across the street, I couldn't help but wonder: why not strike up a deal to get delicious coffee & pastries from them each morning? I do realize sub-par continental breakfasts are not exactly uncommon though. The only real issue I had was with the internet, which did not work at all in our room the entire time we were there.

Nice room, beautiful grounds. Pool was perfect temp. Easy walking to all the night life. Parking was very convenient.

Front desk staff was great. Akthough it rained a lot during our stay, we still had a great time due to the Duval house's proximity to great restaurants, night life and sites.

We have enjoyed stay at DuVall House for 25 years. We return to Key West every 5 years to celebrate our weddig anniversary as we were married in Key West at the Naval Chapel. We have returned with friends, and our past 2 visits have included our daughter (who was born at the Naval Hospital) and her husband, and my brother. We certainly are already thinking & planning to return in 5 years to Key West, and of course, the DuVal House. We recommend the DuVall House to anyone we know who is planning to take a trip to Key West. Great place to stay & relax !

Duval House is charming. It is located on the quieter end of Duval Street but is within walking distance to many of the main attractions of Key West. Rooms are located in several buildings surrounding a beautifully landscaped courtyard with various seating areas and a small swimming pool. It provided a quiet and peaceful retreat when we needed a break. Our courtyard room was spacious and had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay very much!

The gardens were beautiful set behind the building. Even it was on busy Duval Street, we couldn't hear any noise.

The room was nice but the pull out bed was unsatisfactory. The grounds were very nice. The breadfast was a bit dissappointing but the thing that turned me sour is the $45 an hour for a late checkout. I only wanted an hour to finish the Hemingway tour. They were unable to show some flexability there.

We arrived on a Monday to a wonderful room! we had 3 adults staying in the room, it was very clean, super cold A/C. We paid the extra $11.00 per day for our car parking ( WELL worth it!) and never moved the vehicle until we left 4 days later. It is JUST A REALLY nice place to stay. It is right in the center of things, but yet so very peaceful and private! The folks working there were VERY nice and acommodating! We also had a pet of our own for 4 days! The gray "house cat" came and stayed in our room with us, talking to us and keeping us company.................ONLY IN KEY WEST! I will go there again, and I would definately recommend this the DUVAL HOUSE to you!

Always a great experience. The location is fabulous and the facilities great. no better place to get away and relax.

Plan to eat breakfast elsewhere. Rooms pricey but location is perfect. Within walking distance of most key spots.

Second time at The Duval House. Very convenient to everything. The room are very comfortable and each is different, not the normal cold no personality motel room.

Loved the Duval House! It was a great location; close to all the shops and bars! plus the staff was so great! I would definitely recommend!

Really gorgeous grounds - big garden out back where they serve breakfast, and you can either sit around the pool and socialize or find a little corner off to yourself for privacy. Rooms are good-sized, well-decorated, and comfortable. Location couldn't be more convenient, but it's not at all noisy because only the front office is set right on the street. Rather pricey, but it is Key West, and within the range of what you'd expect for Key West.
