Astoria Hotel

Proximity to train station - but see below.

This central (on main street opposite train lines operating with heavy goods trains 24 hours a day), heritage (old), boutique (small) hotel (? Set of rooms on the first floor with no elevator providing no customer facilities other than ice and coke vending machine) has an owner who doesn't think it is necessary to provide guests with coat hangers as the majority like to leave their clothes in their suitcases. The manager of papa Georges restaurant on the ground floor, a lady from Nova Scotia, with a tendency to call customers love in an inappropriate tone, could not agree to ask the chef to cook a two egg omelette (3 eggs being the item on the menu) and when challenged a) invited me to tell the chef how to cook a two egg omelette and b) said to my wife "OK love We'll do you two scrambled eggs and call them an omelette". Very funny in a "Faulty Towers" kind of way, not not in real life when paying CAD$280 / £175 a night to stay in the "hotel". This place is probably correctly rated by trip advisor as 17/17 hotels in Jasper. My advice would be to spend a bit more to stop in a real hotel (realising you are going to pay through the nose to stay anywhere in Jasper because of the mismatch between demand and supply of rooms) or book into the HI Jasper Hostel which is newly built and opened in June 2019 and offers lovely basic private double rooms but with coat hangers, and spacious shower room. It has laundry facilities, a sauna and cafe and is less than 10 minutes walk from the station.
