Excellent service and very friendly!I had already checked out and had to conduct a video conference, and I had forgotten my cell phone charging cable. They lent me a charging cable and I was allowed to sit in the breakfast room, even though it was already being cleaned up. Thank you for that! :)

The room was very small for a double bed (the bed meant that the door to the bathroom couldn't be fully opened), but clean. The access only with a 4-digit code, and no key/card at all, and the lack of any possibility of a safe deposit box either in the room or in the entire hotel itself raise concerns about the security of valuables. The breakfast was good, the staff was friendly, even if the "check-in" where you get your 4-digit code via telephone (the lady had to ask which hotel) seemed very impersonal and cheap. There is no elevator, and you should book a room at the back, then you can hardly hear the tram that runs directly in front of the house. The location in the city center is very good.

If you don't necessarily have rooms 41-44, everything is fine. Otherwise, it's better to bring a compass

Come to travel. Book this hotel. It is very bad. There is no elevator and you need to climb the stairs to the 5th floor. It is very unhappy for tourists. It is very inconvenient to carry luggage and climb the stairs. I will not book this hotel again next time. There is no service staff at the counter. Contact...In addition, there is no air conditioning and it is very hot, so I can't sleep well💤

Centrally located, just a few minutes walk to the center! Unfortunately there is no air conditioning! We were guests on a very hot weekend! Temperature in the room was unbearable, unfortunately the fan provided wasn't much help! There is a tram stop in front of the hotel, the tram runs all night long, so opening the windows at night makes it unbearable noise! There is no elevator! The breakfast was very tasty and varied!

We were here over the weekend. It was really great. Nice. Nice room. We had one facing the courtyard, so you couldn't hear the tram. Breakfast also looks good. There was nothing to complain about!!!

In the Hotel Astoria, oh what torture,The tram runs without choice,24 hours, day and night,I barely closed my eyes.No elevator here, just stairs,Carrying suitcases, what a ride.The reception is often unmanned,That really shocked me.Telephone in the room? None!No refrigerator there, that's no joy.I hardly got any sleep, the service was rare,But the breakfast was wonderful.A ray of hope so bright, you have to see it,But all the shortcomings remain.That's it from me, as sorry as I am,Only one star, that's not good.Wheels were blocked in the escape route,No way through in sight,Trapped, heartbeat wild and heavy,Almost died, can't do it anymore.
