The hotel is not far from the train station and very close to the castle and center of the town. Lobby and bar area were nicely decorated. We were surprised of the size of the room and bathroom. Everything was pleasant and clean. We stayed just one night but will be definitely coming again in Ferrara and will choose Hotel Astra for sure.

Ok hotel, but not worth 4 stars.
Nothing really bad about this hotel, but nothing great either. No hot foods at breakfast, hard bed, slightly worn down and dated rooms, and no view out the window.

Nice hotel English speaking staff.
Everything over all at the hotel was pleasant. They had a nice sitting area sectioned off from the rest of the lobby with comfortable chairs. We were there when they were full with a conference. The help they gave us was given cheerfully. Front desk people spoke English well. Good bed, quiet rooms,clean. Take your shower before 9am. The hotel was full so the water was luke warm. Breakfast was buffet style consisting of a large variety of sweet rolls. Yogurt and fruit was included , espresso from the bar is really good but the machine coffee is terrible It was a nice walk to the castle and old town.

Decent location, good breakfast, horrible mattress
The hotel is about a five-to-ten-minute walk from the city center and the main sights. The neighborhood is fine, but there are other hotels closer to the action (right in the main squares). Breakfast was always fine--not a huge selection, but always enough to choose from and it always tasted fine. The only real downside was the horrible mattress--one of the most uncomfortable hotel mattresses I'd ever had to sleep on. I asked to have it changed, but apparently they had no spares and there was a festival in town, so there were no other rooms to switch me to. If not for the mattress, I would have rated the hotel 4-5 across the board.

Central, Clean and functional even if a bit dated
I have stayed at Astra a few times now and have always found the hotel a very convenient place to stay. The location is a short walk along the street to the central Ferrara including Castello Estense and all the city can provide. A beautiful city. The staff are helpful and efficient, including providing access to the underground car park (there is a charge). Rooms are of a reasonable size and clean although maybe dated. A Fridge, AirCo and window blinds are provided and the rooms are quiet. TV only offer CNN and BBC as English channels (normal for Italy) but the WiFi is good and free. Breakfast is Excellent giving lots of info about the source from across the region. I have not had a dinner in the hotel or used the bar (as the city has so much to offer). I would stay again.

Ghastly non stay - 2 star not 4 star
There have only been two occasions in my life where I have refused to stay the night at a hotel despite having already paid for the room and not being able to get a refund - and this was one of them. Dark and grubby, a small and miserable room. Unpleasant staff. Not cheap. Inadequate light in the room so hung out of the window to check cancellation clause only to have a pigeon above the window defecate over the confirmation email. A suitable endorsement. Avoid at all costs.
