Nice place to relax
This is the best location, central so you can walk from one end to the other very easily. You can get to the Southern most point and then turn around and walk down Duval to all of the interesting bars and shops. Loved it

Wonderful Week
We stayed at the Merlin and could not have been more pleased. It was only a block from Duval Street, very accessible to all the activities on the island but yet, it was quiet. The staff could not have been more helpful. Will stay there again.

Very uncomfortable bed
Merlin guesthouse has a great location. You can walk anywhere. There is no parking but once you find a place on the street you don't need to drive again as long as you're in Key West. The little pool and courtyard are charming. The facility is clean - amenities very basic but fine. However, the bed (Unit #12) was TERRIBLE. Springs were sprung, horribly uncomfortable. My husband and I both suffered sore backs and barely slept. For the price we paid that was unacceptable. I am not very picky about beds, but this was ridiculous. The breakfast was also pretty skimpy. I would not stay there again.

Perfect for a weekend
Extremely friendly staff at a nice B&B. Key West is quite expensive, so is this hotel. Very cozy and clean. Great choice for a nice weekend (w/o children).

Great location.
Had a great time at the Merlin Guest House. Great location. Everything within walking distance. Great staff, especially, Jordan the cat. The room was clean (small), but it was fine. The grounds were very charming. Although the pool was small, it was warm and had jets like a spa. Would definitely go back.

Nice place, good location
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was rather small, but was also very clean,. The bed was extremely comfortable, slept very well here. I felf very safe here. Great location, close to many of the sites, but far enough away for quiet sleeping. No closet to hang clothes, but there were plenty of dresser drawers and wall hooks with sturdy hangers.

Perfect Spot!
Our stay at Merlin Guesthouse was amazing. The staff there were nothing short of friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and helped us with locating places. This place is located a street behind Duval, which makes it in great walking distance. They have a salt water pool, which is great for the skin. Their breakfast in the morning has a vast selection. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect oasis
This was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the great weather and surroundings... Walking distance from most Key West has to offer!!! Staff was very informative!!! I almost didn't chose to stay here because according to the travel site they don't accept Discover Card and yet they in fact do!!! I'm glad I stayed here and definitely would come again!!!

Our First Stay
Room could have been a little bigger, mattress a little better but since you dont spend a lot of time in the room one cant complain too much. I loved the ambience and tropical feel even in January. Jennifer the check in girl was awesome. She helped us find a close parking space and helped us to our room. She deserves a raise. Would I do it again....you bet I would. And I will be back in 6 months.
