“Never let me in!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009
3
people found this review helpful

I was traveling from Seattle to Astoria and called on my way to assure that there was a room. They said not to worry and that they were open until 10:00pm. So when I showed up at 8:30 I was surprised to find the front door locked. I called the number on the door for about the next half hour and no one answered. At this point I started to worry that I would have to sleep on the streets for the night. Eventually a older lady came to the door and very rudely asked "what do you want?" I replied "a room for the night, I called earlier today and you said you had many available." she replied that I could not have one since the manager had gone. I told her I had no where else to stay and she shrugged her shoulders and sulked back inside. I guess she expected me to just sleep on the streets of this little town. I ended up staying at a hotel down the road for more money then I could afford, and thus had to cut my trip short. I found out the next day that the owners of the Norblad also own the hotel I was forced to stay in. running a little scheme perhaps??

This experience was the low point of my trip and I would probably never go back to Astoria if the beer at the Fort George Brewery and Public house wasn't so darn tasty

“Also Called the Norblad”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2009

people found this review helpful

When we got to the address of the Astoria Hideaway Hotel we found a hotel named The Norblad. They had our reservations, so perhaps there has been a name change along the way(?). This place definitely has a hostel feel to it. It's a place you can find a tattooed and pierced young man talking to guy visiting from Europe. Many rooms you have to share a bedroom and a bathroom, but there are four rooms that have a private bath and two that share a bath. We stayed in the York room, which had a private bath, refrigerator, sofa, air purifier, and TV. I didn't see any AC, but when we were there, opening a window was all we needed. There were no screens, but the blinds kept out any bugs.

The hotel had a community feel to it and we found it was quieter than expected, the sheets and towels were clean, and the bed was soft.

“Great Location, Simple Accommodation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2009
2
people found this review helpful

This is a good place for young people on a budget or passer-bys. The city is a charming one and this hostel is right in the heart of it. Got a bit of a weird vibe from the people there, but got a private room and it was clean and has a view of the river. I wouldn't want to take my family there or stay for an extended period of time, but its cheap and clean and in a good location. They have dorm rooms, and private rooms. The private room was simple it had a fridge and a sink, but the bathrooms were shared.
