My sister and I along with our families stayed in cottages at the Merlin Guesthouse the last week in May. My family had cottage 19, the two bedroom cottage and I have to say it was a little disappointing after reading the reviews and looking at online pictures. It was certainly adequate but nothing special. The picture on the website... More

For us it was a disappointment. We expected - because off all the good reviews - much, but we will not stay there again. We have had a Double-Kingsize-Suite. It was ok, but not more. The room was run down. We spend three days and there was a party around the pool every day. With a few exceptions the staff... More

This was such a nice visit. I do advise that you get room 13. Our friends had room 8 and it was very small. No closet. They did have a street view. We however had an awesome room. We had a small porch off of our room that faced the pool. The pool is a small pool. Almost like a... More

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at the Merlin Guesthouse during our trip to Key West! I was very impressed by how intimate this Inn was: quiet, comfortable, friendly, clean, beautiful, etc. It felt like home. Being just a block from Duval and within 10 min walking time from everything, we could not have asked for more! We... More

Great place to stay. Clos to all of the fun, but yet far enough away you can't hear it. Very clean and courteous place. The staf were very helpful with getting directions to everywhere we wanted to go. Nice continental breakfast each morning was a plus as well.

We stayed at the Merlin Guesthouse for the boat races in November and would definitely stay there again! It was positioned perfectly to get to anywhere we wanted to go on the island by foot. We were only steps away from the fun on Duval, but were far enough away to have peace and quiet when we wanted it. The... More

My boyfriend's the type of guy who stays in high rise hotels when out of town, so when I mentioned 'guesthouse'/'bed and breakfast' type of accomodation, I don't think he was too pleased. All I asked was for him to open up to a different setting, and promised he won't be disappointed.Well....am glad to say our stay at the Merlin... More

The staff and the cat were the best! clean rooms with a touch of "old key west". I will visit in the future. The pool area was small but very nice. I really enjoyed the provided breakfast by the pool. and the cat! that is one big spoiled cat. He is a lucky boy! The location is just right...only one... More

The Merlin Guesthouse was chosen based upon location and other guest reviews. The location was within walking distance of a large variety of attractions, yet just far enough for a quiet night's sleep. The room was rather small, but the cleanliness and comfort of the bed made up for the room size. I usually don't sleep well in hotel beds,... More
