Hotel Sina Astor

We booked a familly room, with mention annex, but with no description of what annex means. First of all, annex is not connected to the hotel at all, is a different building. The acces to the rooms is made on a circular staircase, about 1 meter wide, so 2 people cannot go in the same time. There is no lift / elevator, so going with luggage is a bit troublefull, but here the staff helped us. Also, all the hotel facilities are in the main building, so for breakfast, swimming pool...etc, you must exit the annex..go into the main building and find your way. We got caught by a rain, and we arrived at breakfast wet. Finally, the room has no balconny, so no posibility to dry the swimming shorts and towels.

A lovely hotel, with a fantastic buffet breakfast - loads of options hot and cold as well as a small menu of prepared to order items such as shakes, omlettes etc. Staff were super helpful. Hotel is right opposite the beach although you have to mind the traffic when walking across the road. The hotel provides you with towels to use at the beach, and recommend a few that are close by. The beach clubs are not cheap though, so pick wisely as some include use of the swimming pool and different umbrella/deck chair options. The hotel has its own indoor pool and gym, both of which were emply each day we went, so it was lovely to have that space to ourselves. There is a weekly market that takes place right outside the hotel, which is worth a good mooch through as is a walk through the gorgeous park that runs through the spine of the town and provides some much needed shade from the heat during the day. We took the train from the airport and then walked to the hotel which took a good 15 minutes, but manageable. We used the train to go to Pisa too - which is definately recommended. We ate out in one of the many restaurants along the road outside, we found that the closer we got to the town centre the busier the restaurants seemed to be, so we tended to eat at the hotel end and then go for a stroll afterwards. Would definately recommend

We stayed from 13th - 21st Oct as a family of 5 with adjoining rooms. Rooms were spacious, beds comfy and spotless. The whole hotel was spotless. The amenities in the hotel are excellent. We had breakfast included. A great selection on offer for both adults and kids. Great use of the indoor pool, jacuzzi and steam room. A shower cap is required for the indoor pool which is €4 each. I also had a facial at the Wellness which was brilliant. The staff 100% 1st class. BA cancelled our flight home and the hotel could not do enough to help. They help speak to our car hire firm to keep the car and navigated the language barrier. Viareggio is beautiful with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. The hotel is a very short walk to the beach. The staff helped us with touring around Tuscany and helped us book trains, parking etc. very informative and help us plan our visits. 100% recommend for both families and couples.

The hotel was our second stop in Italy and was in the perfect location and well appointed. We had a sea facing balcony room which was a decent size with a modern bathroom. The balcony was lovely to sit on and watch the sunsets and also listen to the music at a restaurant on the Friday evening. We only had breakfast at the hotel which was good with lots of choice. The restaurant is more like a canteen (there are many restaurants opposite the hotel) and the lounge areas are open so not somewhere that we felt like sitting in. However the gym is very good and the pool is lovely and a definite bonus. We were given passes to a beach club opposite the hotel which was surprisingly enjoyable as the impression given from the rows of loungers is not one that I thought would be relaxing but it was! Towels are provided each day to take to the beach by the hotel. The train station is a 25 minute walk and on our return walk we came through the large park, which is behind the hotel, which was lovely. Finally the ladies on reception are very helpful. Martina particularly gave us help with train times and advice on where to find things. The Sina Astor provides everything you need to a good standard and I wouldn't hesitate to return.

A lovely stylish hotel. The room was a good size (room 226) and so was the bathroom. I would have preferred a balcony but none was available at the time of booking. The hotel is in a good location with the beach across the road and lots of bars, shops and restaurants on the same side as the sandy beach. We had dinner in the hotel 3 times and the food was very good. We also got vouchers for the beach for the week and this consisted of 3 chairs, table, lounger and umbrella. It was nice to have the same spot on the beach for the week so no hunting for a space every day. I would have preferred more outside space at the hotel and found it odd that the bar did not open until 3pm which we found very strange - especially as one day the rain was torrential and we would have like a snack/drink at the hotel. But on the whole a very nice stay.

I just returned from a wonderful week at this hotel. It was our first time to Viareggio and definitely won't be our last. The front desk staff were all polite, friendly, and helpful. I’d like to give a special shout-out to Nadir, who arranged our seamless transfers to and from Pisa airport! Our room (128) was impeccably clean and comfortable. We had a Seaview room with a large balcony, where we spent many hours enjoying breath-taking sunsets while listening to the live music from the bars across the road. Breakfast was a delightful and relaxing experience, complete with attentive staff and soft music in the background. Although we were a bit disappointed that the weather didn't allow us to sit on the outside terrace, we enjoyed a window table overlooking the sea most days, so it wasn’t a total loss! The buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, including scrambled eggs, sausages, and bacon, along with a selection of continental meats and cheeses paired with fresh bread. There was also fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, jams, honey, pancakes, and pastries. If that wasn’t enough, you could order omelettes, eggs, and porridge made to order. We found the buffet to be more than sufficient, so we didn’t feel the need to order anything extra. It was great that there wasn't an overwhelming amount available at once. The staff ensured that everything was restocked promptly, keeping it fresh and preventing items from sitting around for too long. We didn't get round to using the spa and swimming facilities this visit, but since it was included in our room rate, perhaps next time! The hotel’s location was ideal, surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants. We had access to the beach club across the way, with a special rate for Astor guests—just 19 euros for two deck chairs and an umbrella on a beautiful sandy beach. The bus station was a 20-minute walk away, and the train station was about 20 to 25 minutes on foot, both of which were easy to locate and use.
