Authors Key West Guesthouse

A cute little place to stay. Breakfast was nice especially the coffee and fresh bagels. The room we stayed in was much smaller than it appears in the photographs and there is not really an outdoor space as described - certainly not private Parking is an issue as there are only two spots on site and the streets get very full

My husband and I had a really nice stay at Authors Guesthouse a few weeks ago. The ‘Authors’ room was pretty, and with a comfortable queen bed and good linens, 2 wicker chairs & a table between them, a small refrigerator, bookshelves (with a place to store our med-size suitcase underneath), suitcase rack, and 2 closets. Wall-reading-lamps on either side of the bed, with electrical outlets for recharging your phone & space for books. You can hear some traffic noise, but it was not enough to bother either of us. The breakfast was perfect for us: Self-serve, in the reception room. Good Cuban coffee, good selection of teas, fruit, bagels (butter, cream cheese, jelly), breakfast pastries, granola bars, individual cereals, yogurts, and fruit juices. Picnic tables and chairs/tables to enjoy breakfast outside. There is a lounge set up outside, and a small pool. And very pleasant staff! This guesthouse is in a wonderful location. It is not right in the middle of things, but all are within an easy, pleasant, walk: Maybe 20-minute walk to Duval Street & the Hemingway Museum, 10-minute walk to Key West Express, 13-minutes to El Siboney Cuban restaurant (very good), 5-minutes to Sandy’s Café (very good Cuban sandwiches and so on; takeaway / a few stools & counter), 5-minutes to the Key West Cemetery (find the pet Key West deer). The streets around Authors Guesthouse are lined with sweet, well-tended, Key West cottages and beautiful Victorian houses. Very nice walks all around. Reminded us of Cape May, NJ.

The room was very well appointed. Spacious ,clean, very comfortable. We stayed in the library suite. Friendly accommodating staff.. nice outside space with private patio table and chairs... and free breakfast...Close to All..would absolutely go back again.
