Dear Sir, I'm really sorry about your poor experience in our hotel. I'm a little bit surprised because we had no claims from you during your stay. Usually our rooms are well cleaned, as you can read here. However, if a guest report to the reception any problem in his room we may help him to solve it, also changing... More

It’s simple to summarise this hotel. When we are due to go back to Ferrara would we stop at the Astra Hotel, the answer is NO. Not a chance. We went to this hotel on Business in September for 3 nights. A colleague made the reservations so no prior investigations were made other than the address, this was a big... More

Dear guest, I'm very sorry about your poor experience in our hotel. We like to propose a classic italian design for lobby and common areas, maybe it could seem old but it's not. About room, our "standard" room is easy and functional and maybe you like a more confortable room like the "de Luxe" room. About cleaness of the room,... More

Stayed for 3 nights Oct. 2011. Hotel was clean but in need of refurbishment, Staff not the most friendly. My room was quite dated , I would guess the last time the place was decorated was in the early 90s. Bed comfortable, air conditioning could not be adjusted. Garage parking quite expensive at 20 euro per day. Breakfast was good,... More

Hotel Astra is old and in desperate need of renovation. It's not by far a 4-star hotel, more like a 2-star. The rooms are out of date (sad decor from the 1960's), with old blankets in the bed instead of duvets. The rooms are incredibly cold - both me and my colleague slept with two blankets and the old bedspread... More

I'm really sorry for the cold, maybe something in the temperature control doesn't work correctly. I don't know if you asked to the reception about this problem, it's quite possibie that we was able to solve your disease. Astra Hotel has a classic design, but there's nothing that has more than 15 years (the hotel was enterely renewed) and all... More

Stayed in the Astra Hotel in October 2010 for just one night. The whole hotel appears tired and run down and needs a refurbishment. The room was clean but typically italian, very stark, dark and dingy with old furniture and fixtures. The exception to this was the electrical and locking system which has been upgraded. The double bed was two... More

The Astra is very centrally located, only a short walk to the castle and the historic heart of the town. The room we were given was clean, comfortable, quiet, well furnished and very spacious for the price. We did have a problem with the safe, it didn't work as advertised and we had to wait an hour to have a... More
