Situated merely 1.2 km from the Church of Santa Maria in Vado, the hotel also gives access to such sports venues as C.U.S. Golf Ferrara, which is around 2 km away. The Astra Ferrara is just 7 minutes' walk from the House of Ludovico Ariosto and right around the corner from the moated Este Medieval Castle. Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Parco Diamanti, located 700 metres away. Standing about 5 minutes' drive away, the Corpus Domini Monastery is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination. Situated in the very heart of Ferrara, Astra Hotel is 300 m from Cavour - Giardini bus stop.
A mini-fridge-bar, tea and coffee making facilities along with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels are provided in each of the allergy-free rooms at the property. Furnished with a writing table, they also have sound-proofed windows. Guests have access to a bidet, a separate toilet, and a shower, as well as bathroom comforts such as hair dryers and bath sheets.
A free breakfast is served in the Astra daily. The à la carte Cucina Aldighieri restaurant prepares Italian dishes. There is a seafood restaurant serving Chinese food nearly a 5-minute walk away.
Review by hotel critic
Having recently stayed at Astra, I found it to be a pleasant 3-star hotel with a questionable 4-star status. The location was convenient, walking distance from the railway station and close to the center of Ferrara. The room was clean and comfortable, with a newly renovated bathroom. The breakfast buffet was satisfying, meeting the standard for this hotel class.The hotel offered a free lobby computer, a rarity nowadays, which was a helpful amenity. In terms of additional services, they provided a free garage for bicycle storage, which was appreciated. The staff were polite and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience.While Astra is a decent choice for a stay in Ferrara, the value proposition should be considered. The hotel lacks some luxury amenities commonly found in higher-rated establishments. For those seeking a comfortable and convenient stay without extra frills, Astra could be a suitable option at a reasonable price point.
