Grand Hotel Astoria

Very friendly staff - special thanks to the super friendly garage-staff. Breakfast was very good, especially the coffee :) The room was clean, nice and comfy. The indoor thermal pool was nice as well and the roof-top terrace offers a great sight over the city

There is nothing much to dislike except the pool on the rooftop terrace which cannot be used during summer. The pool is (for whatever reason) filled with thermal water - so adding a little bit of sun - the temperature of the pool is well above 40 degrees Celsius, so you can only use it to cook yourself ;)

Everything was superb, but for one reason I will never visit again! While having breakfast ,dogs were allowed to come into the restaurant. When dogs shaking their hair would fly into the food. Besides that, how about the guests, who have allergies because of dog hair! Why the minority of dogs owner are expecting us to love their dogs. I would suggest to keep the dogs in the hotel room while the owners dinning in the restaurant. It was hard to find the Hotel, GPS was not able to locate the hotel, the surrounding streets are not accessible by vehicle.

Comments about the outdated equipment and decoration of the rooms are out of the question, the hotel, on the contrary, perfectly maintains its unique aristocratic style. The furniture is designed to follow the tradition of the original, while being completely new and very elegant. The hotel is not only about the rooftop pool, but about the overall atmosphere and the brilliant location in the center of the old town. Everything is a short distance from here, to the supermarket, to the ATM, to many restaurants and shops, but also to the beach, which is only 100 meters from the entrance. Rooms are large enough, beds comfortable. Bathroom is also in a retro spirit, which, however, offers a feeling of luxury like in a castle. Excellent branded cosmetics were a pleasant surprise. TV with over 100 channels, vast minibar, quiet AC and convenient wardrobes. Meal options great with inroom dining. Breakfast is truly exceptionaly organized, wide choice of everything from delicious capuccino to different cakes. And well, rooftop area is brilliant, there were enogh sunbeds for high season capacity, several open showers right on the roof, restaurant ready to provide a drink next to the pool.

Reception staff could be a bit more positive.

Their scrambled eggs are the best in the universe, just like their Nutella croissant! The breakfast is delicious and abundant, the room is clean and quiet, and the neighbourhood is fantastic. From the top of the Hotel you can enjoy a fantastic view of the city and the beach. What else do you need for a fantastic stay? Strongly recommended. Thank you for the opportunity, I hope we can visit this Hotel in the future!

Everything was great and this is very rare. I could easily see the mistakes and problems, but this time I didn't find any. It was strange at first that our car was parked in the garage by the staff, but in any case, it is positive that the cars are parked in a covered garage (in case of extreme weather conditions, hails, etc - especially!).

The Hotel was clean, the stuff were kind and helpful.

The diner was menu optional, it wolud be great- if it will be buffet diner. I think it would be better for the guests. On the roof could be a menu of options...But the food was great. Breakfast was the same for 5 days, could be a little more varied, (sausages, different sausages, sourdough, more eggs, more sweet pasta) Baths close very early. Hotel does not have a sunbed on the nearby beach - which belongs to the guests

Breakfast was nice with all italian choices (my favourite ham). There was a lot of negative comments bout coffee which was obviously handled as there is a dedicated counter for fresh coffe with a professional . It is slow as it require time to make it but it woth to wait it! Breakfast staff is very nice! The hotel location is perfect, it is 2 minutes walk fro the first beach entrance. Even if the first section is sold out (which is booked I wondered in my comments at booking, and really appreciated it. Parking staff were really polite and helpfull all the time. Pool on the top floor and the view is really nice!

First time arriving to the garage can be frustrating, but the signes are really help a lot in the city. In very high season (mid august) it was worriesome that they run out of beach places but if you go to the beach you always get some possibiity.

Excellent Staff, good breakfast! Great location, lovely bar. very comfortable bed. When we stayed it was over run with what appeared to be affluent middle aged miserable angry people people but the staff dealt with this very well. we witnessed several people being quite rude, but the staff maintained professionalism at all times. This is an historic building, and it was a pleasure to stay.

We found the decor rather dated, and not in the stylish sense, I.e poorly hung wall paper, pretty awful colours.. we stayed in a standard room which we felt was rather expensive for what it was. @ €260 per night we expected more? however it was in August and peak times? despite the decor, our room was impeccably clean.

excellent breakfast, rooms a little on cosy side but perfectly OK, large hotel in a great spot with good rooftop pool (smallish but nice to cool off) - only downside is the view being mostly blocked by some 70s block which should never have been given planning but i suppose if it still enjoyed direct beach access and view it'd be twice the price!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had the half board option and the dinner provided was excellent, especially considering the price

Not their fault but it was complicated to find their car park underneath the hotel. I thought it was a bit much to have to pay an extra 18 euro per night for parking

This was actually an extension of my previous 3 days booking. As said for the previous booking I liked the position, the cleanliness, thew bicycles, the rooftop and the parking.

The previous booking was for a superior suite while this one was for a standard one (even if the price per night was much higher than the one booked in advance). The room was very similar but the view was way way worst, being on a first floor and overlooking a kind of internal courtyard.
