The Grand Hotel Flora is not exactly a 4 star. Sure, the entrance is grand and impressive, and from the outside the building is top notch, but as soon as you make your way to your room you'll start to feel disappointed. It all looks quite old and dated and is in need of internal renovation. The rooms are basic to say the least, not what you would expect from a 4 star. However it must be said that the cleaning staff make sure it is all spotless so that is one good thing. Another plus is the air conditioning which is necessary in those hot Sorrentine nights.
The pool is big and well kept, perfect for those hot summer days, however being charged €5/day for the use of a sun lounger is ridiculous when you are already paying a high rate to stay in that hotel. Surely that should come under the provided hotel facilities.
The staff were nice and helpful and the food is quite good and plentiful. The location is also good, being about 10 minutes walk from Piazza Tasso.
I don't know how this hotel is a 4 star when there are no sport or spa facilities available, and although very family friendly, the only kids activities were playing at the pool. Perhaps I wouldn't be so critical if it was marketed as a 3 star, and then I might have had a more realistic expectation.
Overall Sorrento and the surrounding area is amazing, I will definitely be going again, but unless I get a very cheap deal I won't be staying at the Flora again any time soon.
