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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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¢ .

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!!
