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! As others have written, the breakfast is outstanding. It is a quick walk to beautiful Southsea Beach, Southsea Castle, the Naval Dockyard, ships and museums,... More

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.

It's a great place to stay in Portsmouth. It is in a lovely old house. It feels really homey. You don't get big rooms or bath tubs or lots of space. The shower has little water pressure. 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!

We only stayed for one night but will definitely return for longer if we're in the Portsmouth area again. We stayed in room 3 - superior with jacuzzi bath. It was well worth the little extra we paid. It was beautifully decorated, large with a sofa and armchair and lovely bathroom. The bath was so relaxing! My only gripe would... More

A very enjoyable three day break in a relaxing setting. The staff were friendly and polite, the room was a good size, the bedding was very clean and the shower facilities were very good. The rooms were in general very clean, but a few tops of pictures etc... could have done with a dust. The breakfast was very good and... More
