The hotel dealt with my request of non feathers without any problem at all and were very friendly! The breakfast was really nice with lots of choice of cereals and juices! One minor complaint is the... More

We were planning a weekend in Portsmouth so I did a search on hotels as I couldn't face another disturbed night at the Ibis. I discovered this hotel and for a few pounds more, it looked a lot nicer than the Ibis. We received a warm welcome at the sister hotel Florence House on arrival and were shown to a... More

I booked an executive double room. Unfortunately it was hard to find the hotel, even using the SATNAV, but was given helpful directions when I called. The room was lovely and large, if I wasn't out working each day you could have spent a comfortable time just in the room. The decour was lovely and makes a change from same... More

On balance this was a good place to stay but there were downsides for us. We were in Room 7 which had its entrance next to the front door of the building. The roomalso extended under the staircase. Both of these things made the room very noisy with comings and goings and people on the stairs. There was also very... More

Thank you for your review. I am glad you found the room comfortable for your stay - I'm sorry the stay was spoilt with rain but pleased the SKY tv helped! It is certainly popular. Regarding the noise you experienced this has been rectified and was a pipe issue - thank you for noting this and I'm sorry you did... More

Reception is at the sister hotel across the road and was friendly and welcoming, particuarly since I arrived late in the evening. The room I had was in the roof space and was extremely clean. The...
