La Flora is a medium size hotel with a great location in Patong. It is one of few hotels situated directly on the beach, and even so is very close to Bangla Road and where all the action happens.
The hotel has two pools and two restaurants and a nice spa with very affordable prices. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the hotel really came through when we had some special issues that we needed help with. Great service-mindedness!
The only downside is that the rooms are getting a bit dated, but the hotel seems to be in process of updating. All in all this is very good value and quality considering the price and the excellent location! If you want to stat close to the action in Patong, this is an excellent choice. If you want a quiet, relaxing vacation, don’t go to Patong but try Kata or Kata Noi.
