Hotel Flora

Are you sure about 4 stars?

We had a basic room (located in a smaller building of this hotel), which was very very dirty and dilapidated. It was just enough to have a look at stained bed-side lampshades (see pictures) when entering the room… Dust everywhere and an army of small ants in a corner under the window.

The shower & toilet room was a the dirtiest I've ever seen. In short - unsanitary. And pictures speak here better than words, please have a look at them...... Just looking at this shower made me sick. I was only able to wash myself using the lowest shower head intended for the feet, because it was the only part (out of 3) with more-or-less properly functioning jets. In my opinion, the shower room was never properly cleaned given that lime, fungus and dust were seen everywhere, with sticky shower cabin floor and black toilet rim.

Another surprise awaited us just before midnight when we were woken up by a terrible compressor sound outside and started to suffocate in our room. Looking outside, we saw beneath a guy armed with respirator and hose while sprinkling some stinky stuff along the walls of the building. We called the reception, where they calmly (= rudely) explained to us that a mosquito extermination was going on and it would only last for half an hour! Surprisingly, there was no advance warning given to us about this guests’ disinfection operation and we slept with the windows open. So we had a health disorder and could not sleep half of night ....

Finally, it was not possible to make a claim to the hotel administrator, because she/he was not at work at the time of our check-out (10.00-11 a.m).

So it's the worst our impression from Frescati, definitely we are not going to visit this disinfected hotel again.

BEWARE. It is very old and dated and poorly maintained however that could over looked if it werent for the poor service and ill tempered old, miserable, fat lady with the 2 dogs who sits in the lounge area all day and night. She yells at the children, her dogs roam around inside and out (we have 2 people allergic to dogs), would not let us meet or gather in the common lounge area. Our party booked 8 rooms for 12 nights for a fencing camp. The children get tired after 12 hours of fencing and gather for dinner at the common area. We clean up after each usage. It is always empty with exception for the old lady and her dogs. After using the table the first night, she tried to kick us out. After second night, they said we needed to purchase something and pay a cleaning fee which we did both. The male gentleman front desk was nice and assured us it was ok to gather at the lounge however we kept running into issues everyday with the rude, fat old lady giving us a hard time. Cleaning lady from South America was very nice. Breakfast was the exact same thing every morning, pastries bought from a bakery, soggy eggs, cheese, prosciutto, yogurt, and toast. Overall, I would avoid this hotel.
