We arrived on New Year's Eve. The Astoria surprised us from its frontage because inside it was a pretty swishy hotel. We stayed at the big hotel near the train station last year but this was a better experience.
We had a "superior" room and it was pretty grand with a writing desk and a full lounge suite. The techno aspects were interesting, with automatic shutters that opened when your key card is inserted and reliable wifi. It was quiet and comfortable and well located for a quick walk into Ben Jelacic square. The breakfast was diverse and plentiful and made a good start to the day. They were flexible with our arrival and departure times, which was a comfort.

I've been several times in this hotel and always had a good quality stay there, mainly because of the location and friendly staff, however single rooms which I was limited to, very sooooo tiny, simply too small, I think I've never been in smaller rooms in my life. Since I also had to work in the room, I was limited to the tiny table which is I think just a little bit bigger then my laptop, which is simply useless for papers etc. Bed is huge and comfortable, but there is no room for a suitcase if you have a larger one so I had to jump over it constantly to get to the shelf with clothes or to the window. Oh yes, also windows are good, but there was no view since the whole this side where the single rooms are are looking at the wall, really not recommended to claustrophobic persons. So, I generally disliked the room, but then shower gel and shampoo and the body lotion are great and high quality, also all is very clear and tidy. I also did not like the fact that room doors slam so hard that it waked me up several times, since guest are generally quite insensitive and actually not aware of the fact that doors are so noisy. Breakfast is I think the best I had in all the region as it is so rich and greatly decorated and tasty, some of the travelers put a photo, and there is so much of the staff you could it, from shrimps and sea food to tens of different jams and hot dishes, juices, different coffees and 10 different cheese and meat, simply great. So, its really a difficult review for me to write, there so many so many contras and so many pros!

We have had a NYE in this hotel, before going to the city center. The staff was defenitely friendly, even though they were acctualy working for this special nite. In the "morning" they left the breakfast till 12, just to please us, partying. I have never been more suprised in a good way by the staff :)

I would defenitely recomend the stay, they even have a parking now.


The rooms in lower floor were more bussines like, in the uppr more romantic. beautiful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the start and end of our holiday in Croatia. We were allowed to access our pre-booked room 3 hours prior to normal check-in time which many other hotels, in our experience, do not allow. Hotel is ideally situated within walking distance to railway and tram stations, making it easy to get to/from bus terminal to take airport bus. Perfectly located to walk to the town centre etc. Breakfasts were very substantial and one of the best we've experienced. On our last night, we enjoyed their delicious buffet dinner. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.
