We absolutely loved the Wicker Guesthouse. Located right on Duval Street, it was centrally situated near all the action of Key West. The pool area is a quiet oasis with beautiful landscaping. We will definitely stay there again!!!

The property was a bit run down and I got several fire ant bites while sleeping (found some alive in our room that I killed as well). Location was great and people were nice, but the property left something to be desired, especially for the price.

We are very sorry to hear of the ant bites. We have not seen fire ants here before but will alert Orkin to your experience. We do also share feedback with our owners and thank you for visiting.

This was an awesome place, the spot I found was actually for them. The area was on the main strip and would reserve the same place again the next time I go back down there.

Property is a little run down but overall nice. Only drawback is the rooms are separated by a single door so noise comes straight through. Not very private.

Loved: quaint, comfortable rooms with little kitchen, great bathroom space, private patio, breakfast was good continental with variety, staff all very nice, right on Duvall St., so lots of shops, restaurants and more within walking distance Didn’t like: water pressure low, parking was awkward, we were told it would be best just to walk everywhere, which meant walking to docks for excursion, property not as pretty as in pictures. We were given a different room than we signed up for,but another family was already in our spot. We had enough room, though.

Great location. Pretty, but room 120 is awful. Window facing a fully lit patio 24/7 with no curtain. Super bright all night. You can close the pocket door, but it won’t shut all the way so light still shines at the head of the bed. Table just outside which is noisy from 8-10 each morning. Maybe other rooms are great, but avoid 120. Parking is free but they just move your car somewhere on the street. Front desk staff is really nice.

The mattress was thin and uncomfortable and covered in plastic. The sheets kept sliding off all night. When we went to fix the sheets there was a huge blood like stain under the plastic. We couldn’t sleep the rest of the night.

Thank you for staying with us and sharing. Not sure if you reported this to the front desk but I will check the mattress for the stain. We do use mattress protectors, so I presume this is what you meant by plastic. My apologies for any discomfort.

First time to Key West Wicker Guesthouse. The room is not big but not bad. It’s clean, and very quiet. they did well with the sound proof. the guest house is one block away from Duval St, very convenient. We checked out by 11 but they let us park our car as our assigned spot for the rest of the day without extra charge, that helped us a lot and we greatly appreciated. Will choose them again when back to Key West.

What a fabulous place right on Duvall Street! GiGi at the front desk is an absolute gem. Very friendly and helpful. Perfect place to stay in fabulous Key West. The night club next door was loud for a long time on Saturday night but it's Key West! Bring some earplugs. Excellent, high end continental breakfast. This was a destination hotel for us and did not disappoint. Would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Room comfort
Just completed a two night stay. We had booked an upgraded room category. The room we were assigned was very worn and had not been updated in 40 years. The bathroom was very small and odd shaped so almost unusable. We complained and were moved to another room (different building). This room was recently renovated and very nice. The only issue was a door to an adjoining room. The door was pretty thin and there was about a one inch gap at the bottom above the vinyl flooring so you could hear every noise the guests in the other room made including a baby whose favorite thing to do was cry. They need a more substantial door that seals to help this noise transmission. At checkout we mentioned the room we moved from and were told that the age and condition was part of the charm. My response was it is at least ten years past charming. Avoid room 201 until they get it renovated.

I usually do not write a bad review, giving businesses the benefit of the doubt. But this property was awful. No television service. Called reception twice and I would still be waiting for someone as of the time of our check out. The toilet seat/cover was poop stained brown. Couldn’t even bathe in the tub. The breakfast was not friendly for lactose intolerant people. And when these issues were brought up to the inn, their attitude was, “oh well”. The did have WiFi and it is close to Duval St. 2 stars just for that!! Oh well, never again and if we come back to the area, oh well, bye Felicia!
