To everyone at the Florence House Hotel: Thank you for making our stay a great one! The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcome; everyone is so helpful and friendly!

We stayed at The Florence House Hotel as a family to visit Portsmouth during the Easter holidays. We were very impressed with our room as soon as we walked in and as for our bathroom! Words fail me! Absolutely fabulous! Everyone was very helpful and couldn't do enough to assist us with information on the local area. I would recommend... More

This is the most comfortable, friendly, accommodating, and welcoming place we stayed at in England. Very sorry to have to leave. The breakfast is top notch, bathroom luxurious, bed comfy, close to the seaside walking area, away from downtown bustle. A lovely find.

Florence/Somerset House was one of the very best experiences we've had, domestic or international. Comfortable and attractive rooms, excellent service and very friendly staff, and the breakfasts were just amazing. Never had such good coffee/food at a hotel, and at reasonable prices. We'll stay there every time we visit our son.

Read the reviews before booking and can say that they perfectly described the hotel. Everything could not be faulted and it provides good value for the money. Just wanted to give a simple short review as afterall there is nothing to say but it is so good we will be back.

But the staff is lovely. You are not that close to the old town or historic dockyard but you're 3 mins away from... More

We stayed one night here and arrived tired, cold and exhausted but left warm, rested and happy. Great room, slept like logs. Fabulous bathroom. Ordered room service as too tired to go out, delicious and freshly made. We will be back!
