Astoria Hotel Italia

Good, centrally located hotel with...

Liked: Good bedroom - we had an upgrade. The hotel is located in the main square and close to everything. Parking is available close to the hotel. The square outside was being dug up when we were there. The staff are very helpful - they go the extra mile - and the breakfast is good value for money.
Disliked: This is a business hotel, rather than a tourist hotel. This means the staff are often very busy. We had a meal on our first night and it was very average. The view from our room was poor, but the room itself was excellent.

Liked: The hotel was great. Location excellent and staff superb......instructions for parking etc and information excellent.
Disliked: More coffee in the room and an extra bathrobe would have been great.

Very good

Liked: Stylish! My room was upgraded, it was really nice and clean, everything was okay. There was fridge and air conditioning in the room.They have room for bicycles in the garage. There are bicycle stands and also it was closed behind garage roll-up doors, so I felt that the bike was at really safe place.I was cycling Alpe Adria route.
Disliked: Check in experience... Why are these "nice-ish" 4* hotels trying to be so formal and why is everything so complicated? They send you tons of messages and information about booking and communication with staff was also weird. They were not bad, but I would say - why to do things simple when it's possible to do it complicated way.Just be nice and keep things simple. Don't overthink the proccess that much :)

Great place to stay in...

Liked: I've stayed at this hotel quite a few times over the years, mostly for business - although this trip was just for holiday. I had some concerns about parking our rental VW multi-van in the hotel garage, but the staff went above & beyond to make sure it would fit (and it did!). The room was large and the air-conditioning worked very well. Made for very comfortable sleeping. The hotel is near the central part of Udine, so there are many restaurants and bars within an easy walk. My favorite is Al Gelso, which is just behind the hotel, one block away. Excellent food. The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. Same-day laundry service is also available, and we made use of that. Breakfast is excellent also.
Disliked: The only negative was the road construction just in front of the main hotel entrance. Not sure how long that will last, but it was a little confusing to park on a side-street and navigate ourselves to the hotel front door. Once that road work is done though, this is no longer an issue.
