About Somerset House Boutique Hotel
Florence Road sits within easy reach of Portsmouth's Hampshire attractions, and Somerset House Boutique Hotel occupies a quiet corner of it with just eight rooms, giving the place a distinctly small-scale, personal feel rather than the anonymity of a larger hotel. Rooms are styled to feel bright and contemporary, air-conditioned throughout, and some come with whirlpool tubs for a bit of extra indulgence after a day exploring the city.
Downstairs there's a gastropub-style restaurant and bar, along with breakfast served on-site, free WiFi, and drinks available in the room. Guests looking to unwind further can make use of the gym, spa and sauna, while those travelling for work have access to meeting rooms and business services. A garden offers a spot to sit outside, and the hotel also handles weddings, with porter, concierge, laundry and luggage storage all part of the offer.
Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward, and the surrounding area has pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy walking distance. Pets are welcome, and childcare can be arranged for those travelling with children. It's a compact, well-equipped base for exploring Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire coast.

What guests say
Rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated. My room was up 3 flights of stairs, so a bit difficult to access, but the hotel staff kindly helped me with my bags. One of the young ladies at check-in was less friendly, and she really struggled with my request for slightly late check out (by 15-30 mins), but everyone else was very helpful and friendly. Quite a bit of hair (not mine) in the bathroom, so a little more attention to cleaning would be advised. I would probably stay here again.

This is an older hotel in an interesting classic style. Our room was exactly as expected and was large. The bathroom had been beautifully renovated but some people would struggle to step over the bath into the shower. Disappointingly, there was only instant coffee in the room but there were lots of herbal teas. It was difficult to pull the curtains, and there is no airconditing. The location of the hotel is a 15 minute walk to lots of restaurants and 4 supermarkets. I also walked into town along the seafront which too 40 minutes.

We have just returned from 5 weeks on the road in France and Spain. Where we stayed in overpriced, small, less than clean rooms. Wow what a refreshing change at Somerset House. Large, bright, clean, well equipped rooms and an excellent breakfast at a very reasonable price. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Pros - Beautiful spacious room. Very clean and comfortable. Modern bathroom with a large shower. Excellent breakfast choices, all well cooked. Very good location for the hovercraft and not far for major shopping in Portsmouth. Cons - The rooms are in a separate building to the reception and dining room. There are stairs everywhere so not good if you struggle. Parking is a major issue. The hotel has a few spaces but most is on street and difficult to find. The in room spa is a great idea but the masseuse was late with no apology. The set up was hurried and felt stressful and the massage was average.
