We stayed in the Arch House 5-8 July and it was lovely, just as pictured and described on their website. The house is very near to lots of things to see and do which makes it a great base for exploring Key West. The staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and willing to assist wherever possible. The breakfast was nice in the courtyard and was regularly stocked up. Its worth knowing that there is a washing machine and tumble dryer there too which was great for our group as we were touring. Will be recommending this place.

This was my first time in the Keys and I enjoyed it tremendously. My friend and I wanted to stay someplace clean, inexpensive, and close to Duval. It was the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The pictures of the room were very accurate. This fabulous bed and breakfast is within walking distance of Duval Street and Mallory Square. We would definitely stay there again!

My husband and I had a truly wonderful time at the Island City House (and we're both pretty picky.) Our suite in the Cigar House was not extravagant, but clean and spacious. The staff did not have exhaustive knowledge (e.g. they did not have a bus schedule for me to look at) but they were very kind and genuinely friendly. The pool is not large, but clean. Breakfast is very basic (everything is store-bought) but is certainly adequate. I would gladly stay there again and recommend the Island City House adults of all ages. The friendly hotel cats are a bonus, too.

Overall, this was an outstanding choice. I highly recommend it for its quiet atmosphere, cleanliness, friendly staff, and proximity to the Waterfront and Duval St. My only possible negatives were no workout facilities (it's often too hot to run outside unless you're an early riser), Folgers coffee at breakfast (the coffee was terrible), and a little bit of mildew in the shower (but less mildew than my shower at home!).

My boyfriend & I recently stayed at the Island City House Hotel for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Since we arrived after the office closed, the management left our key in an envelope for us at the front office. We stayed in the Arch House studio suite on the 2nd floor. It had a comfortable bed, nice bathroom & kitchenette. It also had a great balcony that overlooked the street. Each morning there was a breakfast buffet on the patio, which was convenient because we had a few early morning trips planned. The landscaping was beautiful (very tropical). The office personnel were very friendly & helpful, always willing to assist in whatever way they could. The location of the hotel was convenient as well. We parked our car when we arrived and didn't get back in it until it was time to go home because we were able to walk everywhere. It was only a few blocks to the marina & Duval Street. All in all, we had a great experience and highly recommend it. We can't wait to go back!
