The room was small but beautifully decorated and furnished, it have everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the room very clean.
Breakfast had a last selection on an A L'carte menu and was delicious.
We were also delighted to be able to take our dog, the hotel is very dog friendly.
The only negative was the parking. We had not pre-booked and as we arrived late, we did have trouble parking in the surrounding streets.

Our room was beautiful, as is the whole hotel.
I think parking could be an issue, at height of summer.
But i suppose there is not alot can be done about that.

When I arrived the staff were so friendly. There was an issue with the room I originally booked and without any hesitation, they upgraded me to a suite prior to my arrival without any additional costs.
The room itself was very spacious and had its own garden attached. Im sure the room I would have got would have been worth every penny however, the room they provided me with would have been worth the money had I originally gone with that option.
The suite was easily accessible and had lot of things that allowed the room to feel very private which helped me to wind down before a busy week. Im certain I had neighbours but I wouldn’t know because the rooms we’re pretty sound proof!
I would definitely recommend! I will be 100% be going again at some point!
(Silly little inconvenience)
There was a small pathway in the suite that took you towards the bathroom, garden and a little lounge area. At night that was pretty eerie to look down with the lights off. I think because of where the bed is situated, you just stare it down as you’re attempting to sleep. Maybe consider a door there 😂
Aside from the minor inconvenience, I really cannot fault this hotel or the staff!

The room was was beautifully decorated, quiet and a perfect temperature (whcih after a wet and cold walk along the promenade was welcome!). The bed very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
We didn't realise there was a discount offered at the Florence Arms for guests at the hotel until after we had paid for our meal. But this is minor - I can't think of anything we weren't happy with.

the room was lovely and ornate. very quiet. shower was fantastic.
car by parking a bit tricky, park in adjacent residential roads and hotel gives you a parking permit during stay. that said once parked all was good thereafter.
4.5
The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly, from check in to check out. We have stayed three times, in a different room each time, and all have been wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. The breakfast included in the room rate is also great. The free parking is also a bonus.
On this particular stay, the guests in the room above were quite noisy late at night and early in the morning, and as this and older builder the noise travelled down. This however is entirely inconsiderate guests and no fault of the hotel.

We liked the location. Easy walk to seaside or Palmerston shopping area.
Room was small. Parking was difficult. No hair dryer in the room.
4.0
We had a minimal overnight stay, catching an early ferry, but the room was very comfortable and spacious, the bathroom likewise, and everything was very clean. No fuss over our dog and reasonably easy parking a street away with a visitor permit.
Nothing.

Breakfast was lovely, the location was perfect and the parking was easy and free. Lovely little area. We felt very safe and happy 😊
The bathroom was a little bit too small, the toilet was very close to the shower door. Our mattress was very uncomfortable sadly 🙁

vert centrally placed, really nice room, pleasant staff and good food
last orders in the restaurant was 7:30pm. Although this is understandable as all food is cooked outside and fresh,

Staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive! Immaculately clean rooms and common area.
Fantastic location from the boardwalk.
We were given a permit to park on the street rather than on-site.

We had booked an overnight stay because we were going to a concert which was cancelled at short notice! We decided to visit the hotel anyway. The staff upgraded our room because of our disappointment over the concert which was really nice. Our room was lovely, ideal location for the seafront and breakfast was great too! Would definitely recommend!

The room was light and airy. The bathroom was spotlessly clean. The dining area was absolutely wonderful with alfresco and a warm covered area to dine in. The bedding and towels were of superior quality
The bed was too small for two people.
