Guest Reviews

• Jimmi (8/5): - Staffvery friendly, bathroom need some work
• Nadia (10/5): - Perfect host! Such easy and smooth communication to book accommodation and transfer. The host kept us updated all the way and reminded about the transfer on the day. The room was simple and clean, with extra water and wine provided. Would highly recommend!
• Florencia (10/5): Quédense aquí! - El establecimiento está ubicado a menos de 20' caminando del centro de Fira. A pocas cuadras hay lugares donde comer, supermercados y una parada de bus para ir a todos los puntos importantes. Destacable la atención, un 10 al servicio del encargado. La habitación cumple, es amplia, limpia, con un balcón y un lugar donde comer con todo lo necesario. Súper recomendado!!
• roberto (10/5): - si impiega circa 20 minuti a piedi per arrivare in centro per strade molto trafficate. la fermata del bus per fortuna è a soli 5 minuti. molto comodo il fatto di avere un piccolo cucinotto per colazione e qualcosa di semplice senza cottura. nel complesso qualità prezzo ottimo
• Katerina (8/5): - Room was nice and clean, and it was nice that it was only a 30 min walk to Thira if you wanted to go out at night. Only down side is that the AC was only in the bedroom, so if the door was closed those sleeping in the living room were too hot. There was also no screens on the windows which made me hesitant to leave them open at night. But I would definitely stay here again!
• JAEBYOUNG (10/5): - 위치는 피라에서 조금떨어져 있어 조금 아쉽지만 방이 두 개있어 사용하기편했고 싱크대와 식탁이 있어 슈퍼에서 뭐를 사다가 먹기가 좋았어요
• Daniele (8/5): - Flora and Jack were really kind and helpful. The apartment is really clean and comfortable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean apartment and really nice and kind staff, who are always ready to help within a few minutes (e.g. map, restaurants, ATM, transfer/shuttle service).
• Su Jeong (8/5): 산토리니 가성비 숙소! - 페리를 타고 산토리니에 늦게 도착하여 저렴한 숙소 중에 고르게 된 플로랄리아 저녁 늦게 도착했는데도 친절하게 체크인을 해줘서 너무 감사했다 금액 대비 화장실 거실 싱크대 방 따로 나뉘어져 있고 공간도 넓어서 좋았다 하지만 우리는 거의 잠만 자고 나와서 좀 아쉬웠다 1.5리터짜리 물도 공짜로 주고 과자 커피 잼 등 서비스로 제공해줘서 좋았다
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Spacious sun on terrace in afternoon owners friendly great location
• Verified traveler (6/5): Budget option close to awesome bakery - Very budget option, with old/rusty amenities. Staff are really nice and there’s a delicious bakery in the town. Better to have a car when staying here, because you need to take a bus to go anywhere.
• dani (10/5): Recomendable - La villa esta muy bien y los recepcionistas super amables y simpaticos. Nos recibieron muy agradablemente. Todo muy limpio. Karterados esta cerquisima de thira que es el centro de santorini y desde donde salen todos los buses a todas partes de la isla. Ademas tambien tiene parada de bus en karterados. Recomendable
• KYUNGRAN (8/5): nice hotel - 방은 매우 넓고 불을 사용할 순 없지만 간이 주방과 식탁과도 분리되어 있어 매우 유용했습니다. 발코니도 넓고 문을 열어 놓으면 시원해서 에어컨을 사용할 일이 거의 없었고 플로라도 매우 친절하고 버스 정보나 페리 시간 등 필요한 사항은 늘 바로 바로 확인해 주었습니다. 유일한 단점은 피라 마을에서 많이 떨어져 있다는 것인데 이 정도 가격의 숙박을 위해서는 어쩔 수 없는 사항이고 피라마을, 항구까지 가는 버스를 탈 수 있는 버스 정류장이 5분 거리에 있습니다. 피라마을까지는 걸어서 20분 정도 걸리는데 오르막 같은 것은 없어서 산책삼아 왔다갔다해도 됩니다. (더운 시간은 피해서...)
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Fantastic communication and flexibility as our flight wasn’t landing until after 1am. A great first night option if you need a bed and shower but don’t want to spend a fortune on the short night. Does the job and Flora couldn’t be more helpful.
• Juan (10/5): - Sin duda lo mejor del alojamiento el trato recibido por parte del personal. Habitación algo antigua pero limpia. A 7 minutos de la parada del autobús
• Lee (8/5): 가성비 갑! - 숙소 가격이 굉장히 싸서 기대를 하지 않고 갔는데 생각보다 너무 좋았습니다. 일단 숙소가 꽤 넓었고 싱크대가 따로 있어서 과일같은 것을 씻기에도 편했어요! 위치는 피라 정류장까지는 약 15분 정도 걸어야 합니다. 더운 날씨에는 좀 힘들수 있지만 저는 걸어다녔어요! 무거운 캐리어가 있거나 버스를 타고 싶다면 숙소에서 약 5분 거리에 피라 정류장으로 가는 버스정류장이 있습니다. 한정류장 가면 피라이더라구요
• Luis (10/5): - Hotel is located is a quiet area of Karterados, close to a lot of shopping stores and restaurants. Owners are very friendly and communicative. Good choice for us.
• Helen (10/5): Highly satisfied - Loved this comfortable small villa and the owner was just as delightful. Wish we could have stayed longer.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - flora è una persona squisita.ogni richiesta fatta per le migliorie è stata accettata ed alcune eseguite subito.
• Nyree (10/5): Roomy and clean - Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The room was large and clean. Kitchenette was nice. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the views we all go to Santorini for. You walk through a quaint neighborhood with shops and cafe's.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - super nah zu Tavernen.sehr schön gelegen. Meerblick.parkplatz
• Irvin (8/5): Great stay! - It was a great stay no complaints save one, the bed was a little hard and very low to the ground but not really an issue. I would recommend them.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 👍 basic amenities but very clean was expecting a cooker, pots and pans and all kitchen utensils. It is after all an apartment. Bed is very low and quite uncomfortable. Staff were friendly, approachable and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Cheap for santorini - I was a bit disappointed with the furniture. It needs renovation urgently. But the manager is super friendly and helpful, the hotel is centrally located and cheap.
• JEKUEN (10/5): 다음에도 머물고 싶은 객실 - 친절한 리셉션. 깨끗한 침실. 따뜻한물이 조금 아쉬웟어요
• denise (8/5): Bom custo beneficio - Achei muito bom custo beneficio. Quarto grande e relativamente barato e bem central numa ilha cara. Funcionário atencioso e simpático. Mas a mobília é bem feia e antiga, banheiro bem apertado. Acho que podiam dar uma melhorada, mas não da pra esperar muito pagando tão pouco.
• Van-Dac (10/5): Bon emplacement avec toutes commodités. - Emplacement près du centre ville et tres calme mais difficile à trouver l'hotel sans google map car pas d'adress précise. Difficulté à comprendre les horaires des bus locaux.
• Giorgio (8/5): Buon compromesso - Floralia è una buona alternativa agli hotel più costosi della capitale. si trova a meno di 2 Km dal centro città ed è ben collegato con ristoranti, fermata bus, market. non aspettatevi il lusso, ma è un'ottima base di partenza per gustarvi Santorini.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff exceptionally helpful. Very clean 30min walk to caldera
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Overall the hotel was alright. Most of the time there was only spent for sleeping. However, I wish the queen bed would have been better. The bed springs were literally against my back.
• Karen (8/5): - Nice clean place about 25 min walking distance to Fira. We only stayed one night but it was quiet. Very close to markets and restaurants and about 8 min walk to bus stop. I liked the location. I'd stay here again. My only complaint was the hard mattress but I stayed in three different places in Greece and all three mattresses were hard so it wasn't specific to this place. Owners were very helpful and seemed always available when i needed them

• M (8/5): Out of the Way - Good overall experience. Enjoyed the small veranda in the front to sit out on and dry the beach wear. Location is a bit out of the way from everything and you need to walk to catch a bus if you want to see anything.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It is pretty much located in the middleof the island. Good for moving around.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice apartment - The staff was really microns friendly. We stayed twice
• Pamela (6/5): It’s ok - If you are on a budget is a good option to visit Santorini.
• Verified traveler (6/5): OK for a short stay. - The hosts are amazing, very hospitable and nice people, very helpful!!! We loved them the most. The hotel itself needs maintenance and better cleaning, but it's ok for a short stay.
• Muthuraman (10/5): - Nice, clean and comfortable. Very quiet and relaxing neighbourhood
• Lauren (10/5): - Very close to a bus stop so it’s easy to get around. I only stayed for one night but I wouldn’t recommend more, it has a home feel to it. The staff is very very friendly and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice apartment, great base to explore Santorini - Basic self catering apartment, but offered everything we needed and was a great base to visit the rest of Santorini. Hotel staff were lovely and even offer a free transfer to and from the airport which was really handy!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Basic stay - It was a basic and pleasant stay. Host was really nice. Couldn't find the place on the first day but managed to eventually :) all is good :) friendly people
• Ashley (10/5): Excellent choice for Santorini! - We loved staying here! A super cute, well equipped room (more like mini apartments than a hotel), close to some nice views. Flora and her colleague were super helpful about anything we needed; recommendations, booking transfers to the port, etc. Very clean property and very decently situated (you can easily get to Fira city centre by 3 minute bus or 20 min walk). A couple of restaurants and bakeries in the area as well. Also a quieter area, less crowded than Fira, which was nice. Would definitely recommend this place to others!
• Priya (10/5): - The staff was super friendly and helpful! The place was very clean and the area not too crowded!
• Jeremias (10/5): Excellent location, great service for good price - Floralia is the perfect Hotel for those who can't afford or don't want to spend a huge amount of money in Fira or Oia. The Hotel is very clean, comfortable and very close to Fira (5 minutes by car). Due to its central location is perfect for traveling the island! Even the most far away place is maximum 20-25 minutes by car. A special mention to Flora and her brother (who run the Hotel). They are the perfect hosts. You will fill at home here!
• Kara (8/5): Friendly and quiet - It's a great, friendly place to stay just outside the busyness of fira. Beds are a bit hard but that seems to be the norm for greece. Staff were extremely friendly and I would recommend floralia highly.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet, great location, very nice owners - This place was great ​for the price. The owner and his sister were extremely nice, which was rare to find in Greece during my travels. There was a lot of space. Shower worked very well. I loved the location. I was close to all the must sees but was still quiet and remote at the same time. Reminded me of coming home every night. I would stay there again. Also the owner took us to the airport at 4:30am free of charge. They were very willing to accommodate in any way. Also the stores around there are very cheap. A big bottle of water only cost 60¢ .
• Verified traveler (8/5): Helpful staff and good value - Staff were very proactive arranging our airport pick up ahead of time, crucial for us arriving at 00.30 In the morning. It was a seamless, effortless transition to the hotel (5-10 minute car ride) and despite the time staff still enthusiastically answered all our questions and provided information on what to do/how to get around. The accommodation was very pleasent and clean with a nice view over the communal garden behind the property. Kitchen was fully equipped and they left a bottle of water in the fridge (you can't drink the tap water here), tea/coffee ad some basic sacks (toasted bread/butter/jam) to get us started. Wifi was pretty good, always a bonus. In the morning we checked out and needed to get to Fira, this would have required a short bus but staff kindly offered to give us a ride. Overall an excellent stay, everything we needed for our first night in Satorini.
• Bill and Sue (10/5): Nice apartment close to local buses - We stayed five nights and had an excellent experience. Flora, Jack and Ana do an excellent job of making you feel right at home. Groceries are well within walking distance. Go to Jerry's for breakfast if you get the chance. If we ever get back to Santorini, we would not hesitate to book the Floralia again.
• Jon (8/5): Nice hotel, great value, lovely hosts. - We had a great time. First time on the island, and doing Santorini on a budget is tricky. But it's so beautiful and there are ways to do it affordably if you look around. Tips: Oia is as great as everyone says; Fira is overcrowded and overpriced (but still beautiful) - Imerovigli is a better option - and the villages in the middle of the island are lovely and quiet. The best food is in Ammoudi bay (Oia), Imerovigli, and Pyrgos/Gonia in the interior. The best beach is at Vlychada in the south. Floralia was a great base. You have to hire a car anyway if you want to see the island on your own terms, so it didn't matter being a little off the beaten track (and it's quieter at night). Fira is a 20 min walk away and there are buses, so you can get the caldera view without driving if you want, though it's a very busy road to walk along. You're the same distance from the beaches as anywhere that isn't actually a beach resort, so that's fine. Flora and Jack are great hosts, really friendly and helpful (they even bought us a coffee pot!), and Jack picked us up from the airport and dropped us off again at the end for no extra cost. It's a budget hotel but you would only really know it from the furnishings, which are a little basic. Our room was comfortable, clean, spacious and quiet, and we had a balcony. Not bad for the price!
• Jenna (10/5): Very great value! - This hotel is a really great value! The rooms are very large, have patio's and even a view of the ocean! The staff are very nice and clean the room everyday which is great. The owner picked us up from the airport, told us about the area and helped us rent a quad which he had dropped off at the hotel for us. It is about a 15-20 minute walk into Fira but for the price difference and the quietness of the area it was well worth it to stay here. We would highly recommend!
• Maria (10/5): Excellent stay and experience at Floralia - Our stay at Floralia was fantastic. The service and the care we received are 5 star level. Everyone at Floralia delivered an outstanding service, the humanity and genuine care of the staff are the key success to a great stay. We felt really looked after, from the arrival to the end of our stay. The hotel has a very fortunate location, easy to reach and walking distance from Thira which is the capital of the island. We will definitely book again at Floralia and we are happy to recommend Floralia to anyone who is planning a trip to Santorini.
