My partner and I stayed for 4 nights at Alexander's. We chose this Gay/Lesbian Guesthouse based on the reviews on Tripadvisor. Specially for gay men, you do have a lot of guesthouses to choose from in Key West, but we are so happy we chose this one.

As other reviewers have pointed out, Alexander's is located at the eastern "end" of Old Town Key West, in a rather quiet area. This was fine with us since everything in Key West is in walking distance. Also we do like it quiet at night. Duval street with all its shopping and entertainment is about 10 blocks away and if you're not up to walking, you can always rent a bike or a scooter to move around the city. You can rent bikes (and probably also scooters) through the wonderful front desk staff who are extremely knowledgeable about what's going and what to do. They make you feel welcome right from the moment you arrive, have all the information you need and help you with anything you want during your stay.

There were slightly more gay women than gay men there during our stay and this was absolutely fine with us. This is an upscale guesthouse with guest from all over the US plus us two Germans and one Briton at the time we stayed.

The continental breakfast that is included was just perfect for a good start into the day. They offer freshly baked muffins, eggs to order, bagels, toast, fresh fruit and cereals.

The atmosphere is very friendly -- everyone gets to talk to anyone and people gather around the pool at breakfast and during the complimentary Happy Hour in the afternoon speaking about what they've done and experienced the night before or what's on their list for the day.

Happy Hour is very social and the bartenders more than entertaining. They serve you almost any kind of drink completely free from 4:30 to 6:30.

Our room (room 1) was one of the smaller roooms, however we found it to be more than sufficient. It had a great kingsize bed and a wet bar including a microwave and a fridge. It was tastefully decorated, only the bathroom was very tiny, but we were fine with that. Every guest at the property, which is made up from 3 houses, seemed to like their rooms.

One night we had dinner at Café Sole just two blocks around the corner. After making a reservation through the front desk, they gave us a voucher for a free bottle of wine with two entrées ordered. Don't miss out on that offer. The food was great.

We had a great time at Alexander's, made many friends and can't wait to go back.

This was our first vacation in Key West and I do not believe any place could have been better then Alexanders Guesthouse. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable and the grounds were great.

We always looked forward to coming back and spending time at the guesthouse throughout the day. Whether to lay by the pool or have cocktails at the happy hour.

We definitely will be back!

We enjoyed 3 beautiful nights at Alexander's Guesthouse's apartment - room 17. It is like having your own home within a hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this resort to other GLBT travelers. Thanks for a great weekend.

My first time ever to KEY WEST, FL and a very memorable trip in so many ways. First and foremost it was the first vacation together with my partner (going on 2 years now) and much needed quality time together being that we're doing the long distance relationship. I didnt have any expectations whatsoever of KEY WEST. I went with an open mind knowing that I was going to be with my partner ABOVE and FOREMOST. The accomodations just added to the experience. Alexander's Guesthouse is clean, homey, friendly, inviting, and close enough yet far enough away from the main strip. Our room was on the second floor overlooking the pool. The living quarters were tight yet comfortable for 2. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever slept in, and it got it's workout to say the least :) The staff, very accomodating, fri
endly, and very helpful in advising on activities, restaurants, etc. HAPPY hour was great every day, and above and foremost it was QUIET enough that I went away relaxed, revived, and a smile on my face. My partner and I are talking about making this an every year event. I cant wait to go back! Even though my arthritis was worse being that close to the Equator...hehehe. My deepest thanks to the staff of ALEXANDER'S.
