Astoria Hotel

We have stayed at the Astoria for many years and to have many more.It is a very freindly family run hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is excellent just two minutes walk from the village centre where there are shops, bars and restraunts. The beach at Alykes is probably the best on the island

Arrived on 30.09.23 for 10 nights not knowing what to expect. Have stayed in Alykes a few times as we love the place and chose the Astoria due to fantastic location on the beach. We were allocated room 301 which had uninterrupted sea views and was large and clean. We hadn't requested sea view so we were made up. Balcony was large and it was so nice looking out over the beautiful blue sea. We looked inside a room opposite and would have been happy there as well with views to the salt flats and mountains. You could see the village which was lit up at night. Breakfast was OK. Waiting staff very attentive and we would finish off with a coffee on the terrace listening to the waves on the small beach. The family that own the hotel were super informative and friendly. I personally would not change anything about the building. It has real charm and character. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Big shout out to Celtic John and his lovely wife Anne who were staying for a month and have already booked for next year. We would definitely return to the Astoria in a heart beat.

Unfortunately this Hotel was a massive disappoin**ent. We were expecting basic but our room was dirty, uncomfortable and a bit depressing! This place needs a it of refurbishment desperately. Cellotape was used in the toilets instead of a lock for example! We also encountered rudeness from one of the owners, the other owner was very lovely though. Great location but really horrid rooms

Perfect location. Hotel is directly onto a very clean sandy beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas. Very central to all bars and restaurants (only 2 min walk) We were on a bed and breakfast basis which was not brilliant!! Not much choice and no variation. But restaurant staff excellent. Very friendly and attentive. Which is more than I can say for the owner who never smiled once and was very brusque when asked a question. Rooms very clean and sheets changed daily. Maid was excellent couldn't do enough for us. All in all not a bad little hotel apart from the owner.
