Only downside to this property is no restaurant or bar or access to any food. Rooms have full kitchens but it’s a hike to get any beverages or food. Next time I will know to stock an extra suitcase with drinks and snacks to enjoy while on property.

Great property located near lots of dining options, entertainment and fun things to do. Office staff are eager to help you make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Lovely grounds, lush landscaping and plenty of space to relax and just take in this beautiful tropic setting. The suite we had was spacious and tastefully decorated. Definitely going back again, hopefully soon!

The room was clean and updated, but the bathroom was lacking an update and felt antiquated. Smoking areas had no ashtrays and water coolers had no cups. No overnight service if you need anything after office hours.

The Island City House is an absolutely wonderful property. My family has been coming here for almost 40 years and we have never been disappointed. The accommodations are all very unique each one has it’s own character. The grounds are impeccable and very relaxing, and the pool a refreshing oasis. The staff is so friendly, fun and welcoming. We were late arrivals, but found our key and welcoming information exactly where it was supposed to be. The housekeeping staff is very accommodating and the rooms very clean as is all of the property. As a cat lover, it was great to see Bert, the Island City cat again. He’s 15 now and is still enjoying life at the hotel.
Thank you Island City House for a wonderful stay :)

The property is well kept and rooms very spacious and comfortable. Very quiet area of key west by short walk to ward and Duval . Parking is definitely an issue , we rented a golf cart , street parking is almost non existent and lots are $6 hour . There is an overnight lot a few blocks away for $15

Wonderful place to stay. Would definitely recommend. The location was perfect .. close enough to walk to everything but on a side street which kept it quiet at night. The gardens were lovely and the staff was friendly and helpful. The furnishings were well worn, but not in a bad way... It was quaint and comfortable...
