Hotel Flora Noto — Hotel in Noto

Hotel Flora has a bar that sells bus tickets to various towns in val di Noto, as well as refreshments and has a few tables where you can sit to enjoy them. I bought my ticket and a drink and sat outside to enjoy until the bus arrived. Before heading out I asked to use the bathroom only to be told that as a customer I cannot use their private bathroom and directing me to the public ones. I felt uncomfortable using the public ones as they do not lock and a man opened my stall door as soon as I entered it. Promptly returning to hotel Flora, I further enquired as to why I could not use the toilets there, particularly as I saw another day tripper, a white girl, this time using them. Only when I insisted did they allowed me to use the bathroom. I find it quite an unusual service that certain paying customers are not allow to use the bathroom while others are. All that to say, this is not the type of place I would recommend you spend your money at. I can only extrapolate that the hotel has a similar customer...

We originally booked a room with Porta Nazionale Dependance but were sent to this hotel. The front door was smashed and reception closed. Eventually we were allowed in and apparently ‘upgraded’ Which is apparently what they do with everyone so don’t feel special if they do it to you. We went into the so-called upgraded room and it was about as big as the average bathroom. So small you couldn’t swing a cat. The room was very small, dark and dingy, the balcony was tiny and dirty. We found cigarette butts left in ashtrays and leftover shower gels in the shower.||I think we were the only people there!||Breakfast had to be pre ordered the day before!||We complained to Expedia and after the manager shouted at the lady at Expedia and us we were told by the lady in Expedia to drive off to avoid confrontation as the man was very angry.||Avoid avoid avoid!!!||We were changed to another gorgeous hotel and will be giving...

This hotel is convenient for travellers without a car. The Interbus stops outside the door, if you are arriving from Catania. |Convenience continues ,as it is a short 4-5 minute flat walk to the Main Street, the good food, the entertainment that a Noto has to offer. The breakfast , however surpasses convenience . It is served in an upstairs patio (glassed in or open depending on the season) overlooking the baroque buildings that make Noto. UNESCO site. Fresh espresso, individually made scrambled eggs, cakes, fresh fruit ,meat and cheese … and more that I could not manage to sample.|The staff were helpful and welcoming. My room was clean and serviced every day. Having a balcony overlooking lemon trees is way better than convenient!|I highly recommend this hotel… it is not glamorous or luxurious … it is great value...
