"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."

"Great staff, super attentive and friendly. Ideal location. Parking in the gated car park is a breeze. Close to seafront. Food very nice. Highly recommend if staying in Portsmouth."

"Very nice, clean room with very helpful staff. Choice of pillows and a very comfortable, clean bed. The room was very warm, no Aircon but a fan was provided. The reception and breakfast room are in a different building, on a different road which was fine as the weather was dry. Buffet breakfast was great with good choice. We also ate in the restaurant for dinner which was also excellent. Staff were all extremely good. Would stay here again."

This is a beautiful old historic building. Staff are very courteous and prompt. The grounds around the inn are spectacular. I was a bit surprised there was no AC but fortunately it was not a warm night so we were very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay

Loved our stay. Highly recommend this place. The bunk room was super fun and surprisingly comfortable for 4 adults. Staff were so welcoming and provided super helpful tips on traveling into Oxford. And the food at the restaurant was great. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent place. Extremely cool design incorporating the old prison and adjacent to the fortress remains. Room was exceptionally nice and breakfast was delicious. Would recommend.

Great hotel in a great area! We enjoyed our stay very much! Staff, food, drinks, all wonderful. The standard rooms are small, but that is clearly indicated when you book. No onsite parking, but its not far. Only a few minutes walk. We are still talking about our stay and hope to be back.

We stayed two nights in May, 2013. This hotel has a spa and meeting facility attached, as well as a restaurant (expensive) and a smaller bistro/bar area with moderately priced meals (where we ate two dinners). Located along a main road, but not near other tourist facilities, so eating in the hotel may be necessary. We enjoyed the house-like shape of the hotel, the huge garden area and large parking facilities. The staff were excellent, everything was clean and there is a nice gym and swimming...
