Astor Hotel Motel

The small double bed provided was so soft I opted to use the spare single which was much more to my liking. Otherwise this quirky little hotel was well laid out good sized bathroom and as a bonus being part of a hotel there was a bistro which after a long wait when the food did come was delicious.

Stayed at the Astor for three days on a business trip. The room was comfortable if a bit small and lacked some of the conveniences you would expect, like a microwave. The hotel is attached to a pub that served excellent food at decent prices. Parking was a bit of an issue, there was no allocated spots and you have to compete with the pub patrons for a park. Check in was easy and staff were very friendly and helpful.

This is a review about a meal I have ordered at the eatery pub (club) Astor while on my way to Victoria. My friend and I thought that stopping for a meal at what I thought was glamorous venue will do a job for us transients. The meal was the special “ lamb shoulder “ for a $22.00 looked like the quick eat and go meal, no fuss and not to save time before finishing a long trip from Sydney. Waooo ! What a shock we got ? Gary slivers of sliced what was supposed lamb ( slippery, since ridden ) and you couldn’t cut on the plate with porous cavities throughout and if you catch a piece of a lamb with a normal kitchen knife, you will struggle to tear a piece off! Ate the vegetables, as I was hungry and left my friend to fend for the lamb slice kill. It is the same story. We thought we walk away and think of it as a gamble when you don’t know the venue! The bartender (a young fellow) was very professional and came to clear the plates and he asked how the experience was? He got the truth from myself, as I have told him that it was, no exagération, the worst dinner or meat cut I have ever been served! He apologised and we told him to take the comments to the chef! He asked us if he can do something to make it up for the experience and we thought a simple pizza tomato and cheese will do, to walk away at least with a good outcome! He came back later, saying that the chef, wouldn’t accommodate the special request and that he could offer something from the bar instead for us! We declined his good offer and we highly recommend this young bartender, as he really takes pride in this establishment! As to the manager or the chef, that he reported to, will get a “fail” mark from us and hope his time is very short at this club! There are people that still care and would do anything to further the goals for this massive and beautifully set up Bar and Eatery! Good luck with it all

Went there for lunch, great food and great service. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food delicious 😋 Has had an upgrade and bathrooms are clean and easy to access. Inside and outside dining options with a warm fire place inside, and a quiet atmosphere. We had the pork, Thai beef salad and a mocktail. Would go there again. You can order from the menu or select from their lunch time specials.

Bargain accommodation, only $99 for a double room, very clean and comfortable and Great value. There were 8 of us that all ordered different meals and we all commented how good they were. Lovely friendly staff. We would highly recommend staying here

Be careful! I wanted to change my booking date and so they charged me 100% cancellation fee. I had no recourse as they kept my card details from a previous visit. 100% is ridiculous, this out and out greed and no way to treat a returning customer.
