Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Florence Gardens Boutique Hotel impresses many guests with its spacious rooms and comfortable beds, providing a light and modern feel, especially in the newly renovated area. The breakfast gets consistent praise for its generous offerings and excellent cooked options, like the poached eggs, and the connected pub adds to the hotel's ambiance. Gun Wharf Quays is easily accessible, allowing for convenient shopping, while the hotel's location offers a quiet environment; however, some guests have noted that the rooms lacked a fresh smell upon arrival. Guests also appreciate the parking permit provided, which simplifies parking in the area.

the hotel provided me with a parking permit, which allowed me to park like a local without any extra charges. the hotel's decor created a calming environment. i found the location convenient because it was in a quiet area.
my room lacked a fresh smell upon arrival, i also noticed a less-than-ideal level of cleanliness. i found hairs on the bed and pillows. the skirting board had a considerable amount of dust.

Excellent Stay

warm welcomeexcellent accommodationfabulous breakfastaccessible shopping
I have returned here again because I like the hotel. The location offers great access to independent restaurants. Shopping at Gun Wharf Quays is easily accessible from here. I received a warm welcome with excellent accommodation and a fabulous breakfast.
The menu had changed, and my preferred pizza was no longer available. The new offering, a BBQ base with prawn, did not appeal to me. I chose a honey bacon pizza, which turned out to be great.

I was disappointed by the parking situation. It was almost impossible to find a spot close by. the hotel owner did give up his spot a couple of times, BUT it is an ongoing problem.
