Room was not your bog standard decor but was unique, bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was large with an excrllet shower. The staff were polite and would acknowledge you even if you were just passing. Kim who was on reception when we arrived was a standard bearer for the hotel group, she was very welcoming and went above and beyond when we required some direction assistance.

WORTH A VISIT

This is a very nice hotel (our second visit) and the rooms are very comfortable and clean! All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. There was a good choice for breakfast, well cooked and nicely presented. The property is close to the seafront and within walking distance to a number of good restaurants.

A Great Weekend

I stayed at the Florence House Boutique Hotel last weekend. The one night stay was for my Mum’s Birthday, and it was great! Everything was clean, all staff were friendly & very helpful & the breakfast which was included on our booking was amazing! The staff even put a Birthday card in the room for my Mum too, which was lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Disappointing

Pleasant but not as advertised! We booked an executive room for 6 nights. The bathroom was diabolical the toilet inches from the wall making it impossible to use comfortably. We politely asked for another room but was told it would cost a further £100 to move .The staff seemed dismissive, so we had to take the option but not happily .The photographs on the hotel site show a large bathroom exactly as you would expect from the term executive . To me executive indicates plush and spacious. Breakfast was ample but for six days they couldn’t get the order right and on the last day it seems we were forgotten and had to alert them we were there , Breakfast took 1 hour . We paid extra for parking yet on two occasions we couldn’t park in the spot allocated, once they moved the culprit the second time we had to park in another bay ( not a big issue ) but again spoilt the overall experience. We love the area and plan to return but won’t book here again . Seems they lack in customer service and should advertise the rooms accordingly .

Nice place , let down by the small things

Nice hotel, located conveniently close to the sea front. Good food served at Breakfast in the restaurant. It was the small things that let it down, and stop me giving it an excellent rating. The two most notable:- Bathroom had no shelf space to unpack washbags -so no where to conveniently put toothbrush/paste. Minuscule cups provided for making tea/coffee in the room. Most of the space is filled with the tea bag so you dont get a proper drink. Small things I know, but you just end up thinking "the designer never used this room" Certainly not reasons to avoid the hotel -but it could be better.

Portsmouth stay for Theatre

A 1 night stay at this well run establishment situated in a suburban street in Portsmouth. We opted for the secure gated parking, which was well worth doing. It is a safe well lit area about 10 minutes walk from the restaurants and pubs in town and very convenient for The Kings Theatre where we were attending a comedy show. The room was quiet and very comfortable. The staff were attentive and friendly and the cooked breakfast was spot in. We would definitely stay again.
