Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Florence Gardens Boutique Hotel is known for its nicely decorated and spacious rooms, with some featuring both a bath and a shower. It's conveniently located near the beach and within easy reach of attractions like Gun Wharf Quays and the historic Dockyard. Guests appreciate the good breakfast and the new conservatory with outdoor eating and bar area; however, some rooms are located at the top of the property, so there are many flights of stairs. On-site parking is available, though limited, with permits provided for nearby street parking.

lovely stay near the sea

polite staffwarm hotelcomfy bedhot water
the staff were very polite and efficient, i found the hotel to be warm and cute. my room was also warm, so i appreciated that it had plenty of hot water. the bed was comfy and i slept well because the hotel was quiet. breakfast was good, i had scrambled eggs and bacon one day.
the cappuccino costs extra, not great for a boutique hotel.

mixed experience, some issues

helpful staffmissing refrigeratorpoor noise insulation
the staff were helpful.
The room lacked a refrigerator, something i consider essential for a comfortable stay. the curtains did not fully close. This allowed unwanted light into the room. i also found the noise insulation to be poor as i could clearly hear conversations from the room above, including activity in their bathroom.
