Hotel Astor

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Astor? The lobby actually feels like someone put thought into it – not that generic hotel chain vibe you get everywhere else. I mean, it’s clearly a solid four-star place, but there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about it. The staff at check-in were genuinely helpful (not just going through the motions), and honestly, that sets the tone for everything else. The rooms are well-maintained without being flashy – good linens, decent shower pressure, and the kind of blackout curtains that actually work when you need to sleep in. I appreciated that they didn’t go overboard with unnecessary amenities, but what they do have works properly.

What really won me over was the attention to details that matter when you’re actually staying somewhere. The Wi-Fi is reliable throughout the building (tested it in the hallways because, let’s be real, hotel internet can be sketchy). The elevators are reasonably quick, which might sound trivial until you’re hauling luggage up and waiting forever. The rooms are surprisingly quiet too – I was expecting more street noise, but whatever they did with the windows actually works. The housekeeping staff clearly knows what they’re doing; towels were always fresh, and they didn’t move your stuff around in annoying ways like some places do. Breakfast service runs smoothly without feeling rushed, and the coffee is better than you’d expect. I’ll be honest, the decor isn’t going to blow you away, but it’s tasteful enough that you’re not distracted by bad design choices.

Look, with a 7.7 rating, Hotel Astor isn’t trying to be the fanciest place in town, but that’s actually part of its appeal. It delivers on the fundamentals without any pretense – comfortable beds, clean spaces, competent service, and reasonable rates for what you get. The kind of place where business travelers become regulars because it just works, and tourists leave satisfied without feeling like they overpaid. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy luxury, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you want a reliable, well-run hotel where you can actually relax and get a good night’s sleep, Hotel Astor hits that sweet spot perfectly. Sometimes the best recommendation is simply that you’d stay there again without hesitation.

Reviews

• Gillian from United Kingdom – 18 May 2025 (8/10)

  This hotel is within a 5 to 10 minute walk to the Hauptbahnhof and tram connections. Ideal if you are planning to explore the surrounding area eg Nuremburg, Saltzburg, Augsburg, or the attractions of Munich. The breakfast choices were very good whether it be hot or cold. Our room was spacious enough for our needs, with excellent housekeeping. However, the best impression was the very pleasant and polite young man in reception who helped us out with a couple of queries and made our stay very enjoyable.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Grace from Canada – 12 May 2025 (7/10)

  Great location for exploring the city and clean rooms
  
  What could be improved: The street got very loud at night, multiple strip clubs in the area means lots of men yelling in the street until early morning

• Sebastian from Spain – 8 May 2025 (9/10)

  Great value for money
  
  What could be improved: The smell of the room was weird. It was a non smoker room.

• Maryna from Ukraine – 27 April 2025 (9/10)

  We had a great stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient — close to the city center and just a short walk from the meeting point for tour buses. There are also several grocery stores nearby, which was very handy. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options. I would definitely recommend this place!

  Paulo was lovely, very helpful and friendly

• Paul from United Kingdom – 25 March 2025 (8/10)

  The lady in reception was very helpful. We arrived early and she let us into our room early so we could go into the city center.
  The location is excellent, 15 minutes walk from the train station and less than 30 minute walk to the main attractions.
  Our room was spacious and clean.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom was a little small.

• Serdar from Turkey – 15 March 2025 (9/10)

  Astor is perfect if you are looking for a budget hotel. The location is pretty good and the room is very clean and unexpectedly large. The staff was also so kind and helpful

• Mi from South Korea – 14 February 2025 (9/10)

  Location, cleanness.
