This was the second time I’ve stayed at Florence Gardens, and it’s proved to be as exceptional as I found it on my first visit. The rooms are extremely comfortable and warm, the staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, and I won’t hesitate to stay there again on my next visit to Portsmouth.

Fabulous family stay! Great two roomed suite, which fitted our 9, 6 and 3 year old (on a z-bed) wonderfully. The breakfast was very tasty and the staff were attentive. Luxury feel to the furnishings. Noise from the bar below was a little intrusive and might disturb if you are a light sleeper.

Great spot to enjoy Portsmouth/Southsea

The room was lovely, we had everything we needed. Good breakfast choices for vegetarians (and non). Great location between Southsea sea front and Albert Road (for restaurants etc), plus walkable to the train station and central Portsmouth.

Don’t hesitate.

Florence House hotel is a fantastic place to stay. We only wished it was for longer. It’s a boutique hotel and everything is just perfect. The room was a joy to stay in and the staff were just brilliant.
