Excellent dining room staff
Enjoyed our holiday at Gran Flora. Disappointed at location across from garage, but after getting used to noise it was quite entertaining. Food ok. Reception staff not very helpful but the waiters in dining room made up for them. Loved Sorrento

Excellent Standard
This was our first visit to this part of Italy and fell head over heels with Sorrento and its beauty. The hotel grand flora was excellent; the food was very good and plentiful with a staggering buffet breakfast which lasted us all day. The waiters were a brilliant blend but always very friendly and attentive. I would have no hesitation in recommending the flora to anyone wanting excellent hotel. Two points that for us was a bit disappointing was there wasn’t any entertainment in the hotel at night and we would have liked a room with a balcony but as we booked last minute this was the luck of the draw

Great Service & Staff
I have just returned form a holiday in Sorrento having thourally enjoyed it and that Hotel Flora played a large part in making that happen. The hotel is very welcoming and give efficent service. The staff obviousley enjoy working there and this comes across making you feel valued, and special. We were only there for a week but I would definatley go back there, there is so much to do, and the staff would make you feel like you were comeing home.
The Hotel is situated close to the center and the walking was not a problem as it was surpisingly mainly on the flat untill you wonder down to the port or up to the Tuesday market. Which we did and it looked worse than it actually was, if walking is a problem then the bus service is adequate.I was in a party of three ladys and we felt perfectly safe wondering around at any time of the day or evening. There arn't any touts pushing there establishments on you, it is hassle free to wonder freely.
I have read reviews about Hotel Flora, perticull...Read more

This is really a three star hotel
My partner and I stayed at the Grand Hotel for seven days in June (2005). The Hotel has been recently renovated and this has been done to an acceptable standard. The pool is of a decent size although the pool area is limited in space. The hotel charges for the use of sun beds (5 euros each) but the Flora cannot be specifically criticized for this practice as this is the norm for hotels in the area. Nevertheless it does add to the general impression that you are a commodity at the hotel rather than a guest. This impression is compounded by the strictly enforced rules regarding the consumption of water whilst using the pool area. In 90-degree heat it is totally unreasonable to insist that all guests only consume water purchased at the hotel's inflated prices. This may seem like nit-picking but it is just an added impediment to feeling comfortable in the surroundings. As is the rule that the pool area is closed to guests from 6 pm-9am. Of course the pool has to close at some point but why...Read more
