Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Florence Gardens Boutique Hotel is often praised for its spacious, nicely furnished rooms, some newly renovated and modern, with particularly comfortable beds and armchairs. Guests appreciate the great location, especially convenient for visiting nearby attractions and the historic harbor accessible by bus, and for cross-channel travel from the nearby ferry terminal. Many highlight the amazing breakfast, especially the cooked breakfast with excellent poached eggs, and the varied menu offered in the restaurant; however, some guests have mentioned that the towels could be softer. Parking is well-organized with named bays, making arrivals easier for drivers.

lovely stay

nice decordining areagreat locationmould stains
i found the decor in my room very nice, though the room wasn't big. dining areas were nice inside and out. i found the location good for the sea front.
the shower having mould stains on the ceiling and shower tray was a real dissapointment. then an extra charge was raised, even if the hotel was pet friendly.
