This review has been written on behalf of my parents who are not on trip advisor but wanted to air their views. They booked this Hotel through Inghams Travel for two weeks from 13th June to 27th june 2012. They sayed one night and left the following day. It is advertised in the Inghams brochure as a 4 star hotel and indeed seems to be well rated on here although recent reviews are scarce. My parents are an easy going well travelled pair of pensioners who pretty much take life as it comes. For them to walk out of a hotel the day after booking in, book a taxi to milan and then fly home at a cost of almost a thousand pounds is testimony to how bad they found this hotel. Indifferent staff, dirty, dangerous and tatty room, inedible food, dirty crockery and cutlery are just a few of their concerns. They have written a seven page letter to Inghams about this hotel. The rep from Inghams although pleasant enough wasnt very helpful and just sang the praises of the hotel without listening to any of my parents concerns, she offered them a free ride on some bicycles..great my mother has just had a hip replacement and a broken arm..yippee..All i can say is that if you are going to book this hotel...do some thorough research..my parents really wish they had....all in all the one night trip to italy has cost them almost £4000..x

This is a charming old fashion style hotel. The fact that its in a spa town probably determines its nature. The common rooms are tastefully furnished and comfortable. The bedroom lacked character but was adequate. The receptionist and our waiteress were from a different era, both of a certain age with the courtesy that goes with it. The meal was pleasant enough but reminded me of hotels that go in for mass catering as opposed to cooking each dish individually. This hotel would appeal to many but just didn't do it for me.

Hotel Astoria is a lovely hotel with great service, a wonderful cuisine and a fantastic traditional flair. The rooms have been renovated lately and offer a fantastic comfort. The receptionist Signore Arturo is always very helpful and friendly. The owners Mr. and Mrs. Taddei are very friendly and always at your disposal.
But the best Hotel Astoria has to offer is its cuisine! This is true Italian cuisine at its best. The "spaghetti alla Signora Maria" are simply the best spaghetti in the world! Three Michelin stars to the cooks!

We found this hotel to be delightful and very convenient for our stay in Montecatini. It is close to the funicular that goes to Montecatini Alto yet close to the many spas and within easy walking distance to the main town and railway station. We were greeted by Arturo, a kindly gentleman who escorted us to our room. This was decorated in traditional style in pastel colours with ample wardrobes and drawers and a charming balcony overlooking the park. The bathroom was fully tiled with a large shower area and spotlessly clean throughout. Several areas are set aside in which to relax, including the bar and television/audio room. The dining room is rather grand with chandeliers and high ceilings giving a light and airy feel. The food is excellent with plenty of choice and served by friendly and efficient staff. Breakfast served outside surrounded by pink Oleander was a treat and the tables laid to the same high standard as in the dining room with beautiful table linen. What other reviews seem to neglect is the lovely swimming pool and changing rooms situated in the garden with many private areas in which to relax. A light lunch is served by the pool if desired. This family owned and run hotel is a real pleasure and one to which we shall return.
