“Very good value - not a great location but good as a base for getting around.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

Firstly, I have come to the conclusion that the huge variation in people's reviews is largely due to the differences in prices paid. I booked 2 nights here with a friend who had to go home but it worked out at less than £16.50 per night each all inclusive so I don't think you can grumble about too much at that price!

Best things - The room was very nice with a terrace overlooking the pool. The pool and garden surrounding were lovely. I liked the food. There was less choice than in a lot of hotels but what there was was good. It wasn't too good for vegetarians because things weren't labelled and it was a bit hard to find out what was in them but you could get by-in fact I had a lovely vegetable stew thing. You didn't have lots of puddings (which are horrible in most hotels anyway) - there was just melon / water melon or ice cream when I was there. On the day I left I stayed for lunch and was glad I did because there were lovely whole fish (maybe sea bream?) and I have never seen that in a cheapo all inclusive before. The bread was lovely and the red wine was fine and the beer wasok. There was a nice little beach not far away that was quite unspoiled (as long as you didn't look around into the next bay and see the oil refinery or whatever it was)

Worst things - The hotel is on a very busy main road. It is set back a bit and you are not aware of it in the pool area but at night the pool bar is shut and the bar is in this vast reception area and the only place to sit outside is at the front of the hotel where you can really hear the road. They should really do something to make the pool bar nicer and have that open at night. There was not a great choice of drinks at all but maybe they were running out of things in Oct. The 'cocktails' were weird and were made from a bottle of something premixed and soda water.Also AI finishes at 11pm. Some of the staff were not very friendly but some were nice.

The location is awful in the sense that there is no real town or village. It seems to be just a string of hotels for miles along a main road. On the other hand the bus stops right outside and it is not far into Rhodesor to Faliraki and you can also get buses down the east coast. It makes a good base for exploring and I wish I had stayed there longer instead of then going to stay in Rhodes town because you could visit there really easily and the buses run till late.

We booked with thomas cook on the saturday and travelled on the Wednesday, flight with TC although the hotel booked through med hotels. We knew the hotel was only 3 star so was not expecting the lap of luxury.However, the place is good. Staff friendly and most helpful ( go with the right attitude and you reap what you sow). The reception/bar area is big, clean and comfortable but there is very little in the way of entertainment so think on if you have children. The restaurant is off the main bar area is not that big. I read a couple of reviews about the food and they were not favourable. I can see what their complaints are in content, not a great variety of choice but the quality is great, hot plenty of it. However,if you are a fussy eater then it could be a bit of a struggle. Pool are is mainly grassed with plenty of sunbeds but not that many parasols and towels can get out early! Pool bar staff good and there is a selection of cakes prior to lunch with pizza after lunch. This is the only gripe i had about the pool bar, it closes to all inclusive from 12.00 untill 14.30. When i asked why this was they said its because the restaurant is open! Stange but ok. The rooms are on two floors spead around the pool in different blocks. Ours had a terrace that was full on to the sun for most of the day, very hot, and was a little bit on the small side and the beds were a little hard for our taste. They were clean and were made every day day but could, in places, do with a little bit of a touch up.I have to remind people that this is a 3 star hotel and you get what you pay for, please go with an open mind and a bit of tolerance and i am certain you will have a lovely time

“Choose another hotel if you need a relaxing holiday”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2009

Hotel Princess Flora has the rudest staff I've ever met from Argentina to New Zealand. The receptionists, the waiters and even the general manager consider the guests as cockroaches. There was no hot water for a day (without apology or excuse). The restaurant was always crowded and the food was awful. Buffet dinner lacks meat, seafood and greek specialities. Drinks (including water) are to be paid extra.

“We think the Princess Flora is a great place to holiday!”

We stayed at the Princess Flora Hotel and were very impressed.
We particularly liked the food - it was really nice and catered for all tastes - lovely Greek salads, fresh fish and meat dishes to suit all - the local drinks were way beyond our expectations, and the cocktails were great!
The weather was really lovely - started off very hot, then we would get a lovely fresh breeze - much welcomed when the weather is in the high 20's.
The location of the hotel is on a main road, with a bus stopjust outside, with buses running regularly into Rhodes town.
There is also a lovely beach just a few hundred metres walk - really picturesque and amazingly quiet when we were there.
The accommodation was very clean, the staff were very friendly and couldn't have beenmore helpful and we thoroughly recommend, we certainly hope to return.

“We loved it!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2008

We've stayed at Princess Flora for one week. The room was small, but clean, but we had a balcony with pool view, and it was great for cooling down after the sunbathing. It was always windy, but in 35 degrees it helps. The staff was friendly, and we loved the food as well. We were on halfboard, although you can reserve AI as well. The hotel is close to Rhodos town, the bus ticket was only 1,4EUR. You can rent a car in the hotel, but there is no fix rate for it! Watch out! The closest beach (500m) called Agia Marina was wonderful for snorkelling. The sunbed was 5 EUR . There is one another beach close to the hotel (700 m), which is by the hotel Sun Garden. It is bigger, and more suitable for swimming. But if you like snorkelling, I recommend Agia Marina! Beautiful. This year the taxi cost from the airport to the hotel 21 EUR. Be aware! The reception can reserve taxi only on that date, when you need it! I asked the reception to reserve us a taxi one day before our departure, and they confirmed it, but next day, when we were waiting for it, nobody came.. The other receptionis said, that they cannot reserve it in advance.
But all together I really enjoyed our stay. If you want to relax, this is a great hotel for you! There is a little supermarket in the hotel, and a bigger shop close to it, but nothing else. If you want to go out at evening, you have to go to Rodos or Faliraki, or Kalithea centre.
