Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Astoria from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Astoria enjoys a superb location directly across from the railway station, making it easy to get around Geneva, with the added bonus of free transportation tickets. Guests appreciate the clean rooms equipped with amenities such as a kettle, mini-fridge, and comfortable beds; some rooms even offer views of Notre Dame church. While a few guests have noted that the decor could use some updating, many feel it offers very good value for money, especially considering its central location near the Pâquis district and a short walk from Lake Geneva. You can also find Pub Britannia just next door.

nonfunctional air conditioningpoor cleaning
The room was quite outdated and frankly a bit depressing. the air conditioning barely worked. It just blew out warm air. i also found some hairs in the shower, which really made me question how clean the place actually was. they seriously need some better cleaning there!

The hotel's location is excellent. it is directly across from the main railway station. this made airport access simple with a short train ride. i appreciated the free public transportation pass offered with my reservation. It was a helpful perk.
The shower in my room was a bit high. getting in and out required extra caution. This could be a concern for some guests.
