Astoria Palace Hotel

Great location...within walking distance to the centre. Hotel has a lobby bar which was nice to have a cocktail before bed. Hotel was not too busy - we had booked bed & breakfast, which was ample choice.

The only negative for us was that the rooftop bar/area wasn't open! the weather was lovely, and a couple of times we took our books up and read (just outside the lift) ....it would have been lovely to sit in the big comfortable chairs overlooking the centre and have a drink....so we were really disappointed about this.

The room was very clean and staff took care of it daily. Temperature was very comfortable, with the option to set it as you please. Large bathroom, with amenities being replenished daily. Location was ok, supermarket and bus station right across street.

Most unpleasant was the fact that the walls were very thin and you could hear what happens in the surrounding rooms very loudly and clearly. From every door opening, every person talking, to the very loud flushing of the toilet. And unfortunately, the first morning they had been doing some maintenance on the floor and there was unbearable noise from drilling machines and hammering. It stopped once we called the front desk, but in my opinion the maintenance could have been better planned (not from 7.30 in the morning and not adjacent to booked rooms).
