The rooms were clean, the staff was exceptional and very attentive. We were walking distance to all of the bars and restaurants and rented bikes to get to the beach. Overall excellent stay!

Charles, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute property, walkable to everything. King rooms are on front of property and the street is busy, therefore a bit noisy. Breakfast was AWESOME and all staff were helpful and friendly. The floors could be mopped more often as feet and/or socks got very dirty.

8/10 Very good

The location is wonderful and the breakfast baskets are cute, but the housekeeping services were not great. We got skipped a few times and had to hunt down coffee for our room every morning.
Lisa, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great. Staff were all super helpful. Location fantastic. Breakfast served outside the room on the verander we loved (the health shots were a lovely touch). We had a great stay. Would definitely recommend.

Robin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is such a charming property. Our room was expansive and so comfortable. But it’s the delightful paths that meander thru trees and cottages that give this property such charm and delight. The staff was superlative!!! Everything was clean and bright and prompt.
The morning breakfast - isn’t this adorable???

This was the cutest place we’ve stayed at in Key West! The room was clean and very comfortable. It was quiet and relaxing, and the pool area was perfect. We would definitely stay again.
Jessica Kaitlin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice location. Closer to the buoy and Blue Heaven. About 15 min walk to Sloppy Joes. Rooms small, but clean. Bed and bedding comfortable. For a long weekend. Ideal. For longer stays the “sweet” room a bit small and tight. But short stay is fine. Clean. Breakfast with coffee nice. Service was great!

Great hotel.Great location.Dwight was super friendly and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived.We will definitely be returning for a more extended stay next time.
Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I absolutely loved my stay at Ella’s Cottage. The location was perfect, the rooms and outdoor areas were stunning. Really great service with breakfast baskets and super friendly staff. The only downside was that my room was located very close to the maintenance staff office/storage so unfortunately in the morning I was woken up and could hear everything going on. Side note beware that the roosters will wake you up at sunrise!
Maria, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing time at the beautiful hotel! Everything was amazing, looking forward to stay again there!
Patricio, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was well-kept and clean, the delivered breakfast baskets were wonderful (and a LOT of food!), and the staff were all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I was travelling alone but always felt perfectly safe, and even stayed an extra night! The hotel is also very conveniently located, right next to a stop on the Duval Loop bus stop.
