Grand Hotel Flora, Sorrento

The Grand Hotel Flora was billed as a four star hotel, if it had been billed as a 3 star we would have been delighted with it, as a four star there were a couple of things that niggled us about it. Our first indication was when we sat in the plush entrance waiting for our rooms to be allocated (we were on a package so quite a few peopl descended on them at once). As we waited, people who had allready been allocated their room kept coming back down to reception - that didn't boad well.

To be honest it has been a couple of years since I have visited this hotel. It was only the once but I stayed here for two weeks. It is Ideal because it is so close to the town centre so you can simply walk down there from the hotel. The service by the employees was fantastic.

The pool was fantastic, always clean and it is a fairly big pool, approx 25 metres if I remember correctly. Which ... more
