Guest Reviews

• Gordon (2/5): - This property is not a guest house and is fraudulently taking bookings, do not use!!
• Michael (10/5): - The room was very clean, beds comfy, en suite was nice and clean, huge TV, WIFI was brilliant, fridge was a nice touch as was tea. Coffee and biscuits, there was also nice soft towels and toiletries. On the down side I didn’t see a single member off staff or another guest, didn’t really think much to the key box check in. There was no restaurant or guest TV room. The street is very scruffy and rubbish strew all over the road.
• Dave (8/5): - Cosy
• Ravinder (10/5): 👍👍 - Great place to stay and staff very friendly
• P M (4/5): Never again - The stay easnt so good. The guests above us had kids who were noisy, and the room beside us had two young guys, who quite frankly couldnt care less about the hour or the amount of noise they were making. The walls were too thin, which made it worse. And the parking was dreadful.
• Graham (4/5): - stayed at this property 5years ago it was excellent what a change room was single not double with a double bed and no space toilet and shower so small a child would feel uncomfortable and no parking at all so cost £6.00 aday could not recommend
• Nicola (8/5): - Nice stay, good location, surprisingly quiet in the building which was nice. Staff very helpful. Property clean. Would recommend
• Jane (10/5): - Lovely room very clean and comfortable bed with all you could want for a few nighys away, within walking distance to sea front. Would definitely stay again .
• Geraldine (6/5): Clean and basic - This is a very basic guesthouse. There is no human interaction. The keys are obtained from a key safe at the front door. You are led to believe that there is parking at the property when actually the only free parking is on the street outside. You will be extremely lucky if you can get a space. There is a public car park to the rear of the property which is very good value at £6 per day.The room that we had was extremely small and it was difficult to manoeuvre around eachother. The bathroom was also tiny. The shower was little more than a dribble, with the hot water taking an age to come through. The bathroom door could not be closed as if you did then you got stuck inside due the door being fitted incorrectly. It is very noisy in the street outside at night with shouting and traffic noise. This guesthouse is clean,the bed is comfortable and the room has most of the things you would expect,but for all of the above reasons, I would not stay here again.
• Fiona (10/5): Definately worth a second visit!! - Lovely guest house. Nothing too much trouble. Great breakfast selection. Would definitely go back.
• Ken (10/5): Good attentive Service. - Really good place to stay, competitive price for early August. But great service and great Breakfast, being picky the TV in room was somewhat small otherwise perfect.
• Kim (10/5): Clean and well maintained - Breakfast was lovely, room was spotless
• mel (10/5): Lovely clean hotel, with comfortable beds - A warm welcome and lovely and clean. Great breakfast and central to amenities.
• Susan (6/5): - My room was comfortable but small, unfortunately my toilet was outside and right next to Breakfast room, this might not bother some people but bothered me, as I had to get out to it in the night and it was not very private. The breakfast was lovely and the service and of course it was very reasonable, but will only stay there again if I can have a total en suite.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Really enjoyed stay, would stay again.Close to Weston front etc
• Tracey (10/5): Just off the seafront! - This is a spotlessly clean guest house is run by a lovely couple called Sharon and Peter,the rooms are gorgeous and the breakfast was amazing! ! I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Weston -Super -Mare.
• Donald (8/5): On the hill in Weston... - The Florence Guest House is in a street of faded grandeur.. further on down the street some buildings are boarded up. Parking in the street is restricted to 1 hour on weekdays between 9am and 6pm, unlimited at weekends. There is a municipal car park with a day rate (24 hours) of £5.50 about 100m away. Down on the esplanade, a few minutes walk downhill, there are several restaurants and cafes. The Guest House is a convenient base to walk into Weston-super-Mare.
• David (10/5): Weston Mini Break - Great place to stay for short break.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel - Had a very nice time at the hotel...great service and lovely breakfast
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice small hotel, convenient for all facilities - Peter and Sharon couldn't do enough for us. Lovely breakfast, and friendly hotel, went out of their way to be great hosts.
• sandra (10/5): - Lovely welcoming couple. Room was on top floor ,bed was comfortable only thing was the en suite was very compact sink was tiny and there was a glass shelf directly above so had trouble having a wash and cleaning teeth. The breakfast was excellent overall we had a lovely weekend with Sharon and Peter.
• Janet (10/5): Clean friendly place to stay, excellent breakfast - Old friends weekend together
• Paul (8/5): - Lovely clean room, fabulous breakfast, great hosts, would definitely return
• John and Kath (10/5): Excellent guest house, 5 minutes from beach - Arrived Saturday earlier than check-in, met by owner, Peter, who made us very welcome and said room was ready and we could check in straight away. Lovely room with four poster bed which was a surprise, nice en-suite bathroom, very comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast, Sharon and Peter catered for our needs, eg veggie sausages for me. Overall an excellent Guest House and we would certainly stay again.
• RODERIC (10/5): FRIENDLY ,CLEAN,COMFORTABLE - GREAT LOCATION ,NEAR A LOCAL SHOP AND RESTAURANTS 100 YDS AWAY,PUB CLOSE BY AND OFF LICENCE
• Verified traveler (10/5): Guest House - Brilliant, Hosts - Wonderful - My girlfriend & I needed a long awaited holiday with no stress & quietness. The welcome the hosts made was warm & generous. The room was clean and comfortable. Though it was only minutes from the seafront we were in a quiet road. We intend to revisit this guest house again later in the year. If you have the chance please go here.
• Lee (10/5): Top weekend - Lovely welcome from Sharon & Peter, great location, great room, super breakfast. We will definitely return.
• debbie (8/5): nice bb close to town centre and all facilities. - Very pleasant couple running the bb made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely guest house with great breakfast, felt like home from home. Will definatley stay here again.
• Annetta (10/5): Weekend break - Our room was very comfortable, warm, well provided for and most of all extremely clean. Will definitely use this b&b again on our next stay in west on.
• Jocelyn (8/5): A enjoyable stay. - Very enjoyable, excellent hosts, would stay again.
• sean (10/5): 5 star florence - excellent hotel , staff very nice , parking can be difficult .
• June (10/5): Little gem! - Stayed here, whilst visiting Dismaland. Sharon and partner very welcoming and take pride in the service they provide. Best cooked breakfast ever, really! Well located for beach and shops. Highly recommend; excellent value for great service. Thanks!
• Wiliiam (10/5): Car parking at rear of hotel ,useful for 24hr stay - Only an overnight stay. Well received and host most helpful with local information. Good service and breakfast! Would stay again as very close to the seafront and eateries.
• john (10/5): - this hotel was lovely great time had by all, very close to sea front with lots to do. breakfast was filling and lots of it and the owners are such lovely people and there to help in anything you like. will def go back again
• Andrew (8/5): Wonderful Weston Getaway - Mini getaway to recharge the body batteries. Nice hosts, big breakfast, parking relatively easy. Ensuite a bit small - but I'm a big bloke! Neighbourhood a bit run down / past its sell by date - a few properties boarded up - but that's down to reasons beyond our hosts control
• Susan (10/5): Comfortable and homely - Received a very warm welcome and was given a huge room, more like a hotel suite. Very comfortable with all amenities (tea, hairdryer, etc). Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and good quality. Nice dining room. Good location on street parallel to sea front.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Just off the sea front - Very nice stay just off the sea front short walk to front and Town and bus stops.Good breakast.very nice owners nothing to much trouble.Will be back.
• Brian A (10/5): Time well spent - Definitely be back, hopefully same time next year if there is space. Owners were so friendly, when my flight wasn't until 4pm they made me coffee and phone my taxi...
• Jozsef (2/5): Watch out for check-in policy - We booked a one night stay in Florence Guest House on 06/06/15. We live in London and had a business trip to Cardiff on that weekend. We planned to stop by around Bristol on the way back - that is how we found this hotel and booked a stay based on good reviews. We planned arriving and checking in around 6 - 7 pm but due to an unexpected event in Cardiff our schedule has been delayed and requested late check in (between 10 - 11 pm). To our surprise the owner refused the late check-in request. She referred to the check-in policy where the published check-in times are 2 - 9 pm and they cannot accept late arrivals without prior arrangement. I even called them to find a solution but the lady on the phone was adamant that they cannot accept our request. Booking another stay was impossible. All accommodation were booked already I called more than 50 places but could not found anything where we could stay. After a busy day we were extremely exhausted but had no other choice then to drive another 4 hours back to London. Needless to say we also lost our money as they do not accept late cancellation. I am writing this review to help others avoid frustration and make sure they contact the hotel well in advance if they are planning to check in after 9 pm. Unfortunately in case of any unforeseen issues dealing with the owners seems to be very difficult (based on my example).
• Verified traveler (8/5): Cheap, clean, good food. - Nice room, very clean, food was exerlent. Unfortunately the toilet for the single room is in the hallway between the dining room and kitchen, makes you feel uncomfortable when you want to go as everyone can see you go in, how long your in there, it's not soundproof, so not good. Also you have to get dressed to go in the night. There is no parking other than a pay and display so this adds extra £5.50 per night to your fee.
• Linda (6/5): Stay at Florence Guest House - The owner was very helpful with information, directions, maps etc. She alerted me to screw-up by Hotels.com re location. The room was quite small and the twin bed is more suitable for someone who is average height. I'm tall so it wasn't long enough for me. My biggest issue was the room had a sink and shower, but the toilet was located in the front hall, which was awkward and inconvenient. I'm surprised they did not put a toilet/sink in the room and install the shower in the hall since it is less used.
• Craig (10/5): Great place to stay - Great place to stay. Breakfast was outstanding , and the owners were very welcoming
• James (10/5): Only by chance did I book this hotel - And I highly recommend anyone who plans to visit weston super mare for a short amount of time. The owner of the hotel was so pleasant and even helped me out when a technical difficulty shook up my morning travel arrangements. Couldn't have asked for any more at such a reasonable price.
• yaz (10/5): Nice hotel very close to the beach - Very warm hostess good location great breakfast and fantastic price.
• Patricia (8/5): Family Wedding - get together - Went to Weston for a family wedding. Had asked for twin beds for my children and ended in a double. Rooms were small. Cat and swing comes to mind. A bit in your face as soon as you walk in, but friendly. Breakfast was adequate. Not far from sea front. On the whole a reasonable stay.
• D (10/5): Comfortable place to stay - If you are looking for a place in Weston-super-Mare or within commuting distance to Bristol, this is a good choice. The place is clean and comfortable.
• litoff (8/5): Comfortable stay - The room was quite small but for the amount of time we were in the room it was ok.
• S2 (6/5): Lovely welcome - Lovely welcome from presumably the owner who was thoroughly nice and helpful. Offered earlier breakfast as I was leaving early. Room was nice and very clean. Bathroom was also very clean. No problems at all and when staying in Weston Super mare again will definitely consider staying here again.
• Marc (10/5): Almost perfect - Can't fault anything with the hotel itself including the location due to its vicinity to the front. Only downside was the surrounding area. Whilst it didn't faze my partner and I, we could see how others may perceive the area, specifically noise pollution from local residents (we assumed there were halfway houses in the area), the language and tone used at unsociable hours wouldn't be suitable if you have a young family...although we did find it quite entertaining. Unfortunately, you can't pick and choose your neighbours, so if you can get over this small stumbling block and concentrate on the excellent hospitality, room comfort and fantastic service then I'd highly recommend this place...certainly in comparison to hotels of the same star rating which are much more expensive
