Hotel Astor

Friendly staff and very cosy hotel. Breakfast was also super!

I’ve never had a great room at the hotel, they are usually pretty small, but always clean and have everything you need. The service and breakfast at this hotel are why it is so special. The location is also great, right across the street from the train station and close to all the city center. Walking everywhere is convenient.

I initially booked Hotel Vallonia - they got in touch with me and told me that they would be closed for the weekend after midsummer - they offered to book a stay at hotel Astor for me, to the initially agreed upon price. Check-in went well, parking costs 5€ per 24 hours for the Theater Parking Garage the Hotel is cooperating with. The beds are comfy, the pillows are too soft for my liking (brought my own, so wasn't an issue). Towels and soap / body wash are included. The rotary phone is not actually a rotary phone. Air cooler available (not an AC). Lots of stuff for breakfast, but signage could be better (mention whether there is lactose in it or not). The bar menu lists plenty of drinks and also food, but when I tried to order meatballs at 23:30 on my arrival day, I got told that the restaurant is closed (the restaurant/bar is open until 0:30 every day and the menu doesn't say anything about closing time for the food portion of the bar / restaurant). I ordered an aperol spritz which took 10 minutes to make. WiFi is fast.
