Guest Reviews
- Brian (8/5): - Staff very courteous
- Edward (8/5): - We were confused with the entrance from the address which is on the back sidevof the building
- olga (8/5): - Clean. Rooms pretty big. One night hotel if you are on the road, don’t expect anything spectacular.
- Brian (10/5): - Very comfortable room - restaurant excellent. 5 minute walk to the sea front - dog friendly.
- Sharon (10/5): - Lovely stay, great staff and beautifully decorated room.
- Anne (8/5): Overall very satisfying. - Comfortable, staff friendly, excellent breakfast and would book again.
- marta (10/5): - Fantastic stay very clean, friendly and the best hotel in Southsea
- Pauline (8/5): - Nice room, felt safe and cozy with everything I needed to hand. The breakfast was delicious and very reasonably priced - service was slightly chaotic but I found it endearing. Just leave plenty of time. Great location as an easy walk to the sea front and shops etc. Would def stay again.
- Yvette (10/5): - This was a stop as we travelled across England and one of our nicest places. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The room was comfortable and cheery. And the breakfast was delicious. We would stay again.
- William (8/5): - Brilliant location, clean and tidy, friendly staff mostly.

- Maria Laura Raquel (10/5): - We enjoyed very much the room and hotel, wonderful "bed and Breakfast" experience

- Suheila (4/5): - Nice location. Room and bathroom extremely small. Very very noisy all night. Couldn’t relax or sleep.
- Jane (10/5): - This is a superb place to stay with sincere service, fantastic breakfasts and lovely environment. The room was very comfortable and the hotel decorated in gorgeous wallpapers. Loved it and would definitely stay there again. Really would recommend a stay.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Well situated - Hotel is well situated close to the beach. We stayed at the end of the summer and so the seasons wear and tear starting to show. Paid for breakfast but was notified that “speciality coffee” (from a machine) would be an extra charge which was surprising. Staff were friendly and attentive
- Samantha (10/5): - Perfect Spot. Lovely hotel and fabulous staff.
- Richard (10/5): - Exceptional accomodation and staff.
- Katherine (10/5): 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.
- vickie (10/5): - Rooms were very nice and staff very helpful
- Timea (10/5): - Me and my husband stayed for Easter weekend and we had a fabulous time. The hotel is just couple blocks from the beach excellent location.Hotel is fantastic, all the room and the restaurant is amazing, staff is very friendly and helpful.I am vegetarian and lots of options food for vega and very fresh and delicious meals. We will definitely going back again.
- Ruth (10/5): Highly recommend - Loved the hotel. Rooms clean and comfortable. Loved the decor. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Very nice breakfast. On street permit parking no problem.
- Michael (8/5): Pleasant - Pleasant stay at the top of the house on one of the coldest days of the year so it was a little cold at times but soon cured by the provision of an electric fire.
- Susan (10/5): Top Hotel - Excellent
- Colin (10/5): Good Hotel! - There were no issues with our stay. We had a nice bedroom, bathroom and lovely breakfasts! The only issue we had was that we arrived at the hotel about 2.00pm but were told check-in was 3.00pm. I know from a previous call that our room was not being used the night before so why not allow guests in a little earlier!
- andrew (4/5): - Excellent location, friendly staff. Property tired and needs refurb. Needs a thorough clean
- Joseph (10/5): Great stay in Southsea - For a hotel in a built up area it was well thought out with rooms very nice, food and drink excellent and great service
- Nigel (10/5): Delightful Boutique Hotel - A great room in a lovely building. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and a very good choice
- John (10/5): Top quality hotel. - Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent included breakfast. Receptionist arranged to store our large suitcases overnight as we did not require them for our overnight stay. Decor of a very high standard. Would strongly recommend this hotel.
- Susan (8/5): - Comfortable bed & excellent breakfast. Would recommend
- Martin (10/5): Amazing small hotel - Amazing small boutique hotel. Fantastic value, individually decorated rooms and friendly service. Breakfast is also a welcome treat.
- Shareena (10/5): Southsea gem - The hotel is split across multiple properties, all are very close to one another. There is NO lift and service of rooms needs to be requested. Room 2 in Florence Gardens building is a VERY small double. In the same building room 3 is large and quite pretty. Room 4 is slightly larger than room 2. In the Somerset building the rooms have very tall ceilings so take a while to warm through - reception are happy to provide extra heaters and blankets though should you need them. Lovely staff, and convenient for a walk to Gunwharf Quays/ Old Portsmouth if you feel like it.
- robert (10/5): - Great hotel
- Mike (8/5): - Great, good breakfast
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall it was a nice property & stay was good just some things could have been explained better by staff, would stay again
- Simon (10/5): Gem on the sea-front - Perfect location for sea front and high Street for food and drink. Only 5 off-road parking spaces which i was lucky enough to get one. You can get a free parking permit from reception. Staff were all lovely. The ladies in the restaurant were very friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely as was dinner, you must try the food, it's all good. Rooms are spacious and very well decorated. Will definitely stay here again.
- Nicola (8/5): Good stay, comfortable bed, good customer service - Good stay. Very comfortable bed and bedroom. Bathroom very small with ability to use the sink difficult. The only place to put your make up on with a mirror and light is the door to the bathroom but there is no shelf so have to balance items on the bin. Breakfast very tasty but really small round breakfast tables and you can’t get everything on very well.
- Danielle (8/5): Great little find - Lovely little hotel, very quiet and nice large room (Executive King) Good location. Great selection of restaurants and bars in walking distance. Would stay again.
- Greig (10/5): Lovely location. Perfect room. - Another lovely stay. Friendly staff. Nice room set up.
- Jennifer (6/5): Disappointed - We were a bit disappointed with our stay in as much parking was an issue so once we were parked up we didn't move the car until going the next day. The pillows were awful really cheap quality and although clean our room was a little tired. We booked based on all the good reviews and felt a little underwhelmed when shown to our room.
- Martin (10/5): Fantastic hotel - Fantastic hotel. My first choice for business or leisure in this area.
- Martin (10/5): - Very nice small hotel. Amazing breakfast and grest service.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic small boutique hotel. Friendly, welcoming and well located for shopping, great food options and the beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Super cute place to stay! Short walk to the water front. Staff was very nice and helpful.
- Brenda (10/5): Best place to stay in portsmouth - Great place to stay. Staff were very helpful, lovely large room so glad we upgraded. Breakfast made with excellent ingredients by a chef .thank you
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Parking could be better but I do 't think anything can be do e a out this.
- Philip (10/5): Great trip - Fantastic stay with great food
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Could not find any faults. Hotel decor beautiful, room amazing and beautiful breakfast. Would not hesitate to recommend or stay again. Thank you.
- Des (10/5): Couple’s retreat - Great location very close to seafront, personal service, great breakfast and a fantastic dinner in the pub linked to the hotel chain.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location and easy to find. Gastric pub around the corner.
- Derek (10/5): - Very clean and a great breakfast
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice hotel and location. Staff helpful and friendly.
- freddy (2/5): - Very cute hotel located in a nice quiet area of Portsmouth/ Southsea. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially the receptionist who showed me all the way to my room. Breakfast is ordered of the menu and cooked for you and was genuinely good. The comfort of the room was a completely other thing. It seems like the building is a converted residential house and not enough work has been done structurally. There is no sound proofing at all, you can hear every single other guest at the property at any one time. The man in the room above you goes to the toilet and it sounds like they are in your room. Whenever someone walks up the stairs the walls creak and you hear exactly what they say. You can follow the movements and conversations of everyone else on property from the comfort of your own bed. Sleep as a result was genuinely poor. The bathroom was small (no issue at all as it was well laid out) but saw hairs in the shower which wasn’t too appetising. As much as I would have loved to enjoy the hotel, I had a horrible night of sleep and will be sure to book something else next time I’m in town.
- Paul (10/5): Southsea - Handy to Southsea Castle, D-Day Experience Museum & old Portsmouth walk.
- Annmarie (8/5): High class b&b - Comfortable, close to southsea beach
- Julie (10/5): - Lovely hotel. Very friendly staff and lovely breakfast, will definitely stay again
- Anthony (10/5): Visit friends & Historic dockyard. - We needed an accommodation near to Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard and also relatives in Fareham. Florence Gardens could not have been better. We were travelling with my wife's sister and brother in law and booked two Executive King rooms. Both were huge, beautifully decorated, and charmingly furnished - modern but in character. The staff were all charming, attentive and polite. The inclusive breakfast had everything, and you could easily have eaten enough to last a very active day and still struggle to finish an evening meal. Talking food I must also praise the Florence Inn, their Bistro bar and restaurant just along from the hotel. Again charmingly appointed and staffed, the "light" lunch we had the afternoon we arrived could have served as dinner. The Mercer Collection of hotels all clustered together around the junction of Malvern Road and Florence Road are quite superb and I would happily stay at any of them again based on this one visit. I would also add and compliment, The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, it is worth every penny and minute spent there, but by an annual inclusive ticket, you'll never do it in a day. This trip was a return on last years ticket and we spent a further two days there. I would also recommend the "Old Customs House" Bar and Restaurant (just off Gunwharf Quay) - great food, drink and staff. Also the Italian Bar and Grill in the middle of Southsea - huge platefuls and again wonderful staff.
- JOHN (6/5): Average. - This is a slightly strange place. A series of houses with different entrances accessed by ringing a bell and being buzzed in. The receptionists give you a parking permit and come out into the street to find a parking place for you. Our room was average . We had booked a king sized bed , but it was a queen bed, when I pointed this out the receptionist told me that in the U.K. a queen bed is a king bed . Has anyone else ever heard of this ??
- William (10/5): Best collection of hotels in Portsmouth - Excellent value for a quaint boutique hotel. It was cheaper than many of the budget hotels and included breakfast and free parking. Room was small but had everything you could want and was well decorated. Wife said the bed was uncomfortable for her but I found it fine, no complaints here. Service was friendly and with a smile. Only negative was the breakfast selection was small although I suppose in proportion with the size of the hotel and we asked for 4 poached eggs and all 4 came out hard boiled. Saying that in the evening dinner looked lovely although we didn’t eat there. Certainly will stay here again on our next trip to Portsmouth without any shadow of a doubt.
- Ian (10/5): Great place to stay. - Really helpful and friendly staff. Great location near to the sea front and Southsea shops. Been here before and will definitely be coming again. 5 minutes drive to the Historic Dockyard.
- Tim (10/5): Perfect, pre-Christmas get away in Southsea - Brilliant stay at Florence Gardens, everything about this place is perfect. Lovely greeting art reception and staff could not be more helpful, walking to room, explaining parking spaces, booking taxis or reserving dinner at the Florence arms. Breakfast and dinner were excellent quality and again all staff were really friendly. Room was tastefully furnished, bed was comfortable and bathroom facilities spot on. The hotel is located a short walk to Southsea front with the piers. Nice fresh walk on a winter's day to clear the cobwebs. We arranged a taxi to Gunwharf Quays which was only 10 mins away with plenty of shopping, leisure attractions and places to eat.
- Anna (8/5): Pleasant hotel - This is a pleasant hotel not far from the sea with a choice of places to eat, I thought that the toiletries towels and beverage facilities were a bit lacking in range and quantity based on the advertisement
- Peter (10/5): Florence Garden experience - Brilliant from check in to check out. The staff were very friendly and efficient, with excellent breakfasts. We ate at the Florence Arms just round the corner which again was very good. we hope to come back to Portsmouth again and will certainly be staying at one of the Florence hotels.
- Michelle (10/5): lovely place, close to everything - when my original idea to visit South of England as part of a tour group fell through because they wouldn't accomodate my need for a room of my own as a single traveller, I decided to plan my own getaway. I was lucky to find Florence Gardens. Extremely well maintained, clean and with friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was very very good. Perfectly cooked eggs and no excessive grease! Perfect start for activity filled days. The location was ideal as well. easy walk to the waterfront, to access all the attractions there. Or take a short taxi trip for shopping etc. Would definitely stay again if I was in the area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Excellent is all I wanted to say but Expedia insists on 50 characters. WHY?
- Diana (10/5): Nice hotel close to eateries and beachfront - Wonderfully clean and well appointed rooms, quiet at night. We ate in pub around the corner, a surprise was the beautifully decorated comfortable dining room. The food was exceptional, the menu imaginative and the food well presented.
- ian (10/5): Great hotel in Southsea - Came to visit some old friends and found the Florence gardens boutique hotel excellent. Very comfortable, and great staff who were happy to help at anytime. The rooms are very spacious and decorated to a high standard. We will definitely be booking again soon.
- Juliet (10/5): - Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, would definitely stay here again
- james.s (10/5): Lovely location walking distance - - Great stay as usual- Visited Agora - walking distance to this great restaurant
- Maria (10/5): Amazing breakfast will stay again - Really nice place and lovely food and friendly staff. The breakfast was amazing.
- bea (10/5): Excellent customer service! - The staff at this hotel went above and beyond my expectations! At every turn, they were just wonderful!!! I would happily stay there again and I highly recommend it!!
- Jo -foodie (10/5): One night of luxury last minute booking - Lovely hotel and staff breakfast was amazing the bed a little to soft for my poorly back but would recommend this small hotel group
- Jacky (10/5): A lovely one night - A gorgeous, spacious and beautifully decorated room and bathroom. Friendly staff and the pub related to the hotel had a great atmosphere and terrific food.
- John (6/5): Clean hotel friendly staff - Good for a short or over night stay
- Georgina (8/5): Lovely Boutique Hotel - Part of the Mercer Chain of small boutique hotels. The staff were very attentive and off their own bat rang to say there was a car parking space available closer to the hotel which was nice. Parking is by permit which is issued to you by the hotel. However, because there is a lot of on road parking it was pretty tricky to find a space. We went to the Florence gastro pub which is also owned by the group and although we didn't eat in the pub the food looked really good. There were nice toiletries in the bathroom which had a large walk in shower. We should have requested a fan in the room as it was pretty hot but that was our fault for not asking for one.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Trendy Southsea hotel - Lovely room & great location. Enjoyed The Florence Arms just round the corner - especially as second round was 'on the house'. Just off the seafront so early morning walk along to Old Portsmouth. Would use this place again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel. Friendly helpful staff - Easy check in, lovely helpful staff. Great food at the hotel restaurant and hotel pub. Would definitely stay again. Room was a little small but very cosy and well maintained.
- David (8/5): Great place - Only stayed one night before a business meeting the hotel was very comfortable, close to the sea front for a nice walk. Food was very good and the breakfast was especially good. Only down side was the parking.
