I travel a lot and have stayed in many hotel ranging from all possible levels. I fell in love with the hotel at first sight. For the value, I do not think how one can get better than this. I have searched many hotels and Astoria was great for my expectations.

Old fashioned elevator takes you to the 4th floor, where the rooms are bright, it is near to the hospital, thus quiet. Very nice balconies (might be great for the summer). Excellent location, extremely close to the Metro Policilinico, nice people, very friendly and helpful (multilingual). Reception closes at 21:00 but they give you the key to the apartment, it is just that you cannot ask any service from 21:00 onwards. Breakfast is not huge but was quiet enough for me. Internet is wireless and free, fast enough for my needs. Water temperature was not steady (too hot to too cold in too little time) but they said they were working on it (it did not keep me away from taking a careful shower, anyway).

I would give 9 out of 10, for sure!

I cannot imagine someone not liking this hotel considering the cleanness, value, location and staff...

Look no further, really! :)

Toros Can

This is not a hotel....it is not even really a B&B. It is located in a commercial area of Rome with no restaurants in the area....no sites to visit. We walked for about an hour on dark and basically deserted streets before we found somewhere to eat and it was at best bad. Management barely speaks English. The phone in our room did not work and neither did the clock. Shower curtain was filthy. There is no one at reception after 10:00 p.m. and the reception area, common room where the internet is located as well as access to the terrace is locked up. You are basically trapped in your room with only access to the stairwell and the hallway. On Saturday the reception area closes at 2:00 p.m., but no one bothers to tell you this so if you need to email, check out or have any other business you need to discuss with the management you're SOL. We were "Lucky" that the boy who clearns the rooms was still there, otherwise we wouldn't have known what was going on. He attempted to call "hotel" management but 3 times they hung the phone up in our ear. They didn't want to talk to us about anything. They also didn't want to give us a receipt for our stay here. With no phone service in the room and no access to anyone at reception you are unable to contact the outside world without physically going out of the building. We had no way to contact a taxi to pick us up at 5:30 a.m. to catch our flight out of Rome. The room boy came back at 5:45 to call us a taxi. It was a very stressful experience.
