Nice room, felt safe and cozy with everything I needed to hand. The breakfast was delicious and very reasonably priced - service was slightly chaotic but I found it endearing. Just leave plenty of time. Great location as an easy walk to the sea front and shops etc. Would def stay again.

Don’t hesitate.

Florence House hotel is a fantastic place to stay. We only wished it was for longer. It’s a boutique hotel and everything is just perfect. The room was a joy to stay in and the staff were just brilliant.
