“elegant and spotless”

Azul Key West

Aug 13, 2008

We stayed at this elegant and comfortable place for two nights in May. Although it is located on the busy Truman Ave (Highway 1), we hardly heard any traffic noise or even a rooster sound (you can see roosters roaming all over the places on the island). The room we stayed is called Cohiba which is not attached to any other guest rooms. The room was spotless, nicely decorated and small. After our three carry-on size travel bags were situated either on the floor or chairs, basically there was no place for us to sit except the bed. And the bathroom was very small as well, there was a tiny place near the sink just enough for placing toothbrush kit, towels could be only hung on the bathroom door. Anyhow, the space issue didn’t bother us much since we didn’t spend much time inside the room. I loved Azul’s breakfast which serves very fresh bread, fruit, and yogurt.
Dominic is a very nice guy who gave us a quick guide to great places to eat and fun things to do, which was very helpful. You can walk to most of the attractions from Azul. It was about 5-10 minutes walk to the Hemingway house and the Duval Street which is the main street on the island, about 25 minutes walk to the Truman Little White House, 30 minutes to the water front, and the Mallory square where you can watch the Sunset Celebration everyday. There are a lot of restaurants and bars on the island. The ones we liked most during our short stay were Alonzo's Oyster House, the conch republic and the Sloppy Joe's Bar.

“beware $50 non refundable deposit on booking”

Azul Key West

Aug 8, 2008

Not impressed, booked, was looking forward to going and was forced to cancel due to family circumstances and has been stung with $50 non refundable booking fee even though I cancelled 3 months before the trip.
Nice work when they can get it!!
Beware excessive booking conditions, you have been warned!!!

Management Response
AzulKeyLargo, Owner
(Management representative)

When you make a reservation at Azul Key West, a small part of your deposit is non-refundable.
Our policy states: “A $50 per room administrative service charge is applied to all cancellations.”
It’s plain and simple, verbally communicated to each guest when they book, appears on every email confirmation and is prominent on our website and internet booking pages. So where’s the sting?
What excessive booking conditions are we talking about? This guest was happy enough to book and yet chose to fire off a cheap shot when he cancelled.

“Privacy and personal service”

Azul Key West

2/3 found this review helpful

The Hotel Azul in Key West is an interesting hybrid combining the privacy of a standard hotel with the intimacy and personal service of a bed and breakfast. Morning starts with a generous buffet breakfast, including an assortment of fruits, cereals, and yogurts plus soft boiled eggs and especially delicious bread. Eat under the umbrellas at one of the nine poolside tables or at the table located outside your room. Then hit Duval Street a short three and half block walk. Located in the heart of Old Key West, the Azul is a converted Queen Anne mansion. Ground level guest rooms open onto the pool deck. Second floor rooms onto a wide balcony that overlooks the pool or onto the street side verandah. A third floor suite with private balcony is accessible by a winding stair case. The front yard of the Azul is paved to provide guest parking which makes it somewhat less inviting than neighboring guesthouses with landscaped front gardens, but once you enter the front door or side gate the furnishings and landscaping are first rate. The management and staff make you feel at home and provide excellent recommendations on dining and recreational activities. A late afternoon float in the hotel pool after a full day of sightseeing was one of the highlights of our trip.

“Lovely stay”

Great location, clean and friendly. But rates at 120 dollars? The best price we could get was 160 plus tax, and that was in the low season.

The four of us came to Key West late one night a few weeks ago. We stumbled upon Azul, met Dominic who was more than helpful, and decided to stay after taking a look at the rooms.

Me and my boyfriend stayed on the top floor in the gorgeous suite. Everything was neat and fresh and felt (and was!) luxurious. The minor thing we felt a bit uncomfortable with was that the door to the room was a glass door - ie. see-through. Since the room is on the top floor and no one else walks by it's really not much of a problem. I'm a bit scared of the dark though, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

The breakfast was great, the staff friendly, serviceminded and helpful. While checking in Dominic gave us a thorough guide to great places to eat and fun things to do while staying and we ended up doing a lot of it and had a blast!

Overall we were more than happy with our stay at Azul - our 3 night stop in Key West turned out to be the best part of the entire vacation!
