Aparthotel Astor

The staff were good, but the smell and ventilation were the worst ever. Someone smoked during the night, and the smell lingered in the room for an hour! Breakfast is three sandwiches with an egg, tea, and yoghurt, with some variations, as shown in the picture.

A small, quiet, no-frills hotel with nice staff. They enjoyed my attempts at poor Polish.

The girls on staff were very nice, and I’m grateful they lent me an umbrella. I spent a weekend here and found the room clean and cozy, with a very comfortable mattress. It was warm, too, despite what people often say, the radiators were very hot. At this price I wasn’t expecting luxury, and this isn’t a four-star hotel. I did miss something hot at breakfast, like sausages or scrambled eggs. The lighting could be better, as it was hard to put on makeup. The parking entrance is tight, but it wasn’t a disaster. I didn’t need to fold the mirrors, and my car wasn’t small. A few hours of parking lessons, and you drivers should have no problems.

The staff were exceptionally polite, which is why I’m giving two stars, but that couldn’t make up for the rest of the stay. The double room was extremely cramped, with no shelf for unpacking clothes and only two power outlets in the whole room, both far from the beds. The tiny, unstable breakfast table wobbled whenever I put cutlery on it. In the bathroom there was only a bathtub and no curtain, so everything got soaked after a shower. During my five-day stay, neither the bed linen nor the towels were changed, and one towel had a hole in it. Breakfast was okay, though the instant coffee wasn’t very tasty. The hotel didn’t meet my expectations.
