The Florence House Hotel and its sister hotel just opposite (Somerset House) is amongst the best accommodation I have stayed in. I travel a lot with work and have stayed at the Florence for the last 4 months. It really is like home from home and the standard of accommodation and service is very high indeed. Both hotels have half a dozen en-suite rooms, each of which are decorated very uniquely - individually syled with great attention to detail. And wonderfully clean! Breakfast is whatever you want it to be and it is always fresh, hearty and well prepared. The staff are very helpful, friendly and professional. They clearly have an excellent undertanding of what it takes to make their guests have a great stay. The location of the hotels is ideal too - a 5 minute walk to the sea-front, a 10 minute walk into the centre of Southsea (good places to eat) and a 10 minute drive into the centre of Portsmouth. Whether you are travelling with business, on holiday, visiting friends or family or just looking to get away for a weekend break, these hotels are spot-on in so many ways.

“Excellent Place to stay in Pompey”

Florence House Hotel

23 Mar 2008

Excellent accomodation. Although the room we stayed in was quite cosey, it had everything in it you could want. The spa bath made it a lovely treat and the breakfast in the morning was fabulous. Would recommend this hotel to anybody wishing a short or longer stay in Portsmouth.

“elegant charm”

Florence House Hotel

22 Mar 2008

We were recently in the south of england and picked this hotel because it was near relatives. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and had an elegance that is not that easy sometimes to find in a seaside location . Ideal for those visiting portsmouth and area and has a friendly easy atmosphere. the rooms are decorated in a modern elegant style and chicmodern furnishings. I will visit again for a hot spa bath!

“A Real Find”

I spent two nights here recently and it is as good as the other reviews say. My room was in Somerset House, their sister hotel which is just across the road. The room was warm, comfortable and beautifully done-out and the location is very quiet at night. The atmosphere was relaxed but efficient and the manager/staff friendly and helpful. As a female travelling alone, I felt quite comfortable there. The hot breakfast was freshly-prepared and beautifully presented. The manager recommended nearby Bistro Montparnasse for dinner and I'm glad he did - it was a truly exceptional meal in lovely surroundings. Highly recommended on all counts.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights whilst visiting our son who lives in Southsea. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel. We stayed in two different rooms and they were both excellent. The beds are extremely comfortable and the rooms are spotless and very nicely decorated each with an individual style. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely stay here again.
