Hotel Astoria City Center

Great location next to the Union square. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast for 6 euro. Near the stops of the airport bus which costs less than 1 euro. Central but quiet location. Good value for the money, single room 60€/day. No bar or restaurant in the hotel but plenty nearby.

+ Friendly staff, good location % The room had a really old and dirty carpet and the room smelled of cigarette smoke

The hotel is located in a wonderful location downtown Iasi. It’s an old hotel so don’t expect too much. It was brutally hot and the AC didn’t work. I tried to call the front desk but the phone didn’t work. It was one of those experiences where you say “it is what it is”. The WiFi was good so that’s a major plus.

The good: - Excellent location. - Staff helpful and nice. - Clean room. - Very silent. - Daily bathroom cleaning. - Good refrigerator. The bad: - Looks and feels old and used, except for the bathroom. - Room not cleaned every day. - Air conditioning did not function for more than 10 seconds. Complained, nothing done. - TV very small, poor image, very few channels. - No room safe. My camera was kept at the reception desk, not in a locked place. - Had to let hot water run for about 10 minutes before it was hot indeed. - Towels are VERY old, looked clean. Were they? - Nothing to make a cup of coffee or tea. Just two glasses. This is definitely not a 3 start hotel, at least by any European standard. Maybe it was in some distant past. At any rate, it served my purpose well, although not as I expected. As I could not find anything else better in the neighborhood, and the location was a must for me, I gave 3 stars, i.e. above average for the price. Just for comparison, for a cellar good room I used a year ago, not the same good location, I was asked the same price. So, would I stay again there. Probably yes, not sure.

The outside and the inside of the hotel looks very old. The furniture and the room overall is not great looking, but the bed linens were white, very clean and fresh looking. The beds were something else - no bed frame but a weird lifted box lifted from the floor and carpeted. The matress, duvet and pillow were comfortable, no wirer poking out or anything. The bathroom had a soap dispenser and there were hangers in the closet. The low budget for design and overall looks is very obvious, but the hotel staff are very nice and bussiness oriented, friendly but also proffesional. Would I come back? Probably if again in Iaşi.

Very easy check in, English speaking assistance, GREAT location and very walkable, quiet & safe...

Let's start with the positives: the hotel is located very close to the city center (walking distance), it offers suites, and it has breakfast included. The suite (2 rooms sharing a hallway and the bathroom) appeared dingy and unkempt. The floor, the bedspread and the chairs were stained and dirty looking. The furniture was old and appeared to be falling apart- one of the beds, the chairs, the refrigerator platform in one of the rooms. The mattress was very lumpy and uncomfortable; the pillow shared those...qualities. The towels were frayed and looked old and unclean. The room smelled of chemicals (it triggered my allergies), but I wasn't clear if they were cleaning products or bug spray. I can't say that the front desk staff was helpful in any way. I had asked for an iron that never arrived. I also pointed out that the rooms appeared neglected and poorly maintained and I received a shoulder shrug in response. Breakfast was very basic: eggs, some cereal, cold cuts, cheese and fruits. The fruits looked past their prime since the bananas were brown and the apples looked ... old and wrinkly. The overall appearance of the hotel and the quality of the service are a reflection of poor management and lack of interest in catering to the customers.

Very friendly personal and hotel keeper, good quality of services, generally and cleanig especially, very goog location, silence, respect, all you need in Iasi city. I liked very much discretion and kindness of hotel host.

Worst Hotel I’ve ever been. Some bed lights and Air conditioning was not working, they didn’t clean the bedroom everyday and didn’t make the bed or replace old bath towels. When I arrived, my bed was without bed sheets and I had to ask in reception for them. Breakfast is terrible, no diversity and horrible food, spoiled fruit. The only positive point is the central location in Iasi but it’s not worth it, there are many better options there!
