Hotel Flora - Frascati, Italy 

Lovely hotel on the outskirts of Frascati, and an excellent alternative to staying in central Rome. We arrived at Rome after a long frlight from Auckland [NZ] and were nervous of the driving, so rented a van and drove one hour to Frascati. The town is beautiful and very historic, and the Flora is an oasis of elegant charm. The staff were reserved but polite, helpful when asked, and efficient with service. Rooms were beautifully furnished, the bathrooms were lovely, beds comfy, hotel well double glazed,and the continental breakfast offered a great choice and lots of fab continental fare. Loved it, will go back if ever that way again!

We stayed at Hotel Flora for one night after 2 and a half weeks travelling in Italy. The hotel itself was ok. and nice from the outside. The room was very big and the bath was super- though it could have done with a bit of touching up in places. We stayed quite near the lift which made a 'ping' noise everytime it stopped. The staff were not at all friendly, infact we were shouted at for parking in the wrong place as soon as we arrived. We expected more and this spoilt our opinion of the hotel itself. We weren't overwhelmed by Frascati and wished we had stayed another night in Rome instead. On a good note- the bed was very comfy!
