We were in Key West for a wedding. We arrived on a Friday and were able to check-in early so we could be ready for rehearsal events that began at 4:00pm. Our room was spacious and the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. Breakfast was “chef kiss “ with eggs Benedict and the most beautifully presented food choices that will have something for everyone! We dined by the pool to add to the perfect start to our day. We felt like we were treated like family and loved every minute at The Ridley House!

Perfect location and finest hospitality. No complaints!

The place was clean and neat but rooms were very small. I would definitely return because of the location, value, staff and I have to say the breakfast. The breakfast cook is chief- first night almond blueberry fluffy pancakes, overnight oates parfait. The second breakfast was egg benedict, with an amazing cream sauce. Third was a key lime sausage gravy biscuits. Everything home made. they also have the fruit and cheeses like superior restaurants. The place is small but very charming and although we travel ALOT- We rarely come across such a great way to start the day!

the rooms could be bigger. we stayed in 17 and the bathroom was very nice but room small.

the historic feel of the hotel was lovely and the gardens were beautiful too. Really comfortable bed and well appointed room. A lovely vibe to the breakfast service. A nice afternoon sangria treat was offered that we sadly didn't get back to enjoy.

Unfortunately the aircon was older technology and was therefore noisy and left the room smelling damp. This was a shame as everything else was lovely. No onsite parking but that was known in advance and the parking lot was just across the street, so not a major issue.

Ridley House was perfect for us to be able to walk most places we wanted to go. We loved the property! Andrew and his breakfasts were the very best I have ever had! We had a great time! Will definitely stay there next year when we come back down. The place was so cute and the staff was wonderful.

Our room was a little small. That’s really not a complaint. We weren’t in the room much anyway.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast served poolside every morning is amazing. The chef cooked made to order eggs, bacon and sausage along with a daily specialty item: pineapple coconut pancakes, butter pecan waffles or eggs Benedict. One of the best breakfast in town. We were in town for a wedding weekend that was happening on and around the wharf. This property was close to all the activities.

Convenient location. We were close to everything we wanted to be. Great touch by providing complimentary bikes for a day, we enjoyed that. Provided a couple daily complimentary adult beverages, but we missed out on most of those because of the timing and activities we participated in. Nice clean and comfortable room. Bathroom/Shower was updated, clean and had plenty of space for Key West hotel room. Friendly staff. Love the fact that they are pet friendly!

No hotel property provided parking options which we knew going in. To nitpick a few television channels we enjoy were not available and blacked out.

The breakfast and staff were delightful apart from the in room makeup.

There were children there and it is labeled as adult only. We didn’t have our room cleaned for our entire 5 night stay because we are late sleepers after late nights out enjoying KW. We left the room everyday by 11:30 but they only made up the room once.

The property was fantastic. It is an historic property and while offers modern conveniences, still has charming quirks of an older building. The made to order breakfast was fantastic. Chef Mike was great and offered so many suggestions of places to go and things to enjoy. All the staff was friendly and super helpful. The location is perfect!

Great location walkable to Simonton Beach and lots of great restaurants. Just a short walk to Duval and all the action. Room was beautiful, breakfast delicious and the staff terrific!

Only complaint was that for a large B n B there were only 4 chaise lounge chairs around the pool! Invest in a few more! 😊

Great location! Room and property felt fresh and updated. The pool area, although small, was a nice little oasis. Only two blocks away from Duvall St., and Mallory Square.

We did not like the being detached from the property. Although only three doors down on Caroline St., it felt like the building we stayed in was somewhat of an afterthought. Even just a few small additions (like it's own ice machine and water dispenser) would have been a huge help. The latches on the gates are quite frustrating. We witnessed many folks, including ourselves, having trouble with the gates as they 1) are not clear how to operate at first 2) require two hands to use - which is often not easy when carrying bags, luggage, ice, and/or water.
