I recently enjoyed my stay at Chelsea House Hotel and found it to be a charming hotel with lush landscaping and a beautifully inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and responsive, making my experience more enjoyable overall. However, I did face some challenges with noise from the nearby area and a few maintenance concerns that detracted from my stay.

My room was spacious and updated, featuring gorgeous crisp bed linens. However, I did encounter issues with noise and a lack of hot water in the shower, which was frustrating.

Service

The service at the front desk was generally polite and welcoming, but I found my check-in experience to be a bit disorganized, and some of my questions went unanswered.

While the pools were nice and not overly crowded, I found them to be on the smaller side. The bar had a cute setup but could have benefited from staying open later.

The beautiful hotel and inviting atmosphere made it easy to relax, although I did wish for a little more space in the room. The staff's genuine friendliness really enhanced my visit, and I loved how convenient the location was for exploring the area.

Rooms

I found the queen essential room to be surprisingly spacious, with a relaxing balcony and a large bathroom. It was beautifully designed, making each moment in the room enjoyable. The only downside was that it could feel a bit cramped at times.

The location was perfect for me, close to Duval Street and other local attractions which made exploring Key West a breeze. While it was in a central area, I still enjoyed the peace and quiet when I wanted.

Dining

8.0

The complimentary breakfast was a nice way to start my day, though a wish for cold creamer instead of the individual packets is all I have to say. With so many great restaurants nearby, it was easy to find plenty of dining options.

Facilities

9.0

I loved the well-maintained pools and lush gardens that created a serene environment. The hotel also had an established relationship with a bike rental shop, which made getting around easier and more fun. It felt like a great little oasis.

My stay at Chelsea House Hotel had its ups and downs. The beautiful hotel and multiple pools were highlights, but my assigned room left much to be desired due to its cramped size and limited storage. Although the staff was attentive and the grounds were stunning, it felt like a letdown compared to other couples’ experiences in larger rooms.

Rooms

6.0

I was given Bungalow 53, which was incredibly small with almost no storage space. There were no closets, and I struggled to fit my items as the bathroom was even tighter, lacking adequate space for toiletries. It was disappointing, especially since other couples had more spacious rooms.

Service

9.0

The staff was personable and proactive, checking in with me via text to see if I needed anything. Their warm approach enhanced my experience despite the room challenges.

Location

Chelsea House's location was perfect; I was just a short walk from lively Duval Street and all the local attractions. It felt conveniently positioned for exploring Key West.

Dining

I didn't dine at the hotel, but the breakfast area was popular, and I enjoyed grabbing coffee there throughout the day. I preferred breakfast spots like Blue Heaven and Banana Café nearby.

Facilities

The hotel featured three beautiful pools, with the heated one near the main reception being my favorite. The lush landscaping created a lovely atmosphere to relax by the pool.

The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to walk to attractions like Duval St and the Southernmost Point. The convenience of free bicycles was a nice touch too.

Dining

I found the breakfast offerings average and the timing of 8 AM was too late. A self-serve option could improve the experience for everyone.

I really loved my stay at Chelsea House Hotel - Key West, mainly for its awesome staff and prime location. The room was a bit small and lacked a closet and safe, which made things a little cramped. Also, the breakfast service could definitely use a revamp—waiting in line for coffee wasn't ideal. Still, I'd consider coming back for the great service and charm that this place offers.

Breakfast was included, but the service was slow, and I spent mornings going to Dunkin' instead.
