Wi-Fi
Parking
However, the convenience varies, as some guests found parking facilities a bit far, about 300 to 400 meters, requiring a walk of several blocks. Additionally, the hotel's location in a restricted zone made direct unloading and immediate parking near the hotel challenging. Further complicating matters, signage and directions to parking facilities were often reported as confusing or misplaced.

Family
Nightlife
While the area is quiet during the day, it transforms into a lively hub in the evenings, perfect for both families and solo travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the city's nocturnal pulse. However, prospective guests should be aware that the hotel is located above several bars, leading to noticeable noise late into the night. Despite measures such as double or even triple glazing in some rooms, the nocturnal clamor from surrounding establishments and street activity can be quite disruptive for those sensitive to noise.
Overall, Hotel Astoria combines a great stay with easy access to nightlife hotspots, making it an excellent choice for travelers who prioritize location and vibrant evening entertainment. However, the noise levels might pose a challenge for light sleepers or those looking for a more tranquil stay.
