Hotel Astoria Fidenza

Travelling in the area last week I needed a bed and, having called the two hotels I know in Fiorenzuola and finding them both fully booked we found the Astoria on line and so I stopped. It is a bit hidden in the town centre BUT has an excellent, closed car park just over the road so I parked the van and headed inside. The very kind lady took my passport to check me in and then took my bag so I headed next door into the lovely pizzeria, as it was already after 9pm so would stop serving soon. AND THE PIZZA AND BEER WERE ALSO EXCELLENT!!! All in all a lovely place, great room plus great pizza!!! A perfect stay.

The room was good value for money. Nicely laid out with a comfortable bed, nice linens and towels, good shower. Clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. It’s really well located, minutes to the main square and a short walk to the train station. It’s also right along the Via Francigena. The breakfast is quite good, providing a good selection of deli meats and some cheese, as well as boiled eggs. You’ll find cereal and pastries as well. The coffee is just okay, we went out for another cup in town. The hallways had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, it is off putting, but the smell does not reach the rooms. Overall very good value for money. A nice choice for a short stay.

I stayed here a couple of days on a business trip. The hotel is well located and with a parking space right in front. The rooms though are quite old. The restaurant is ok and the breakfast was good. My overall vote is 2.4/2.5 that’s why 2 stars.
