<p>The hotel is located on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, in the popular resort town of Balatonf&uuml;red, in its central Reform-Era-quarter. The building itself is monumental with a historic air, raising it among the town&#39;s most spectacular buildings. The edifice was erected in Romantic style to serve as a holiday home for the D&#337;ry family in 1868. Owing to its huge size some or all upstairs rooms were let for guests in 1878. The residence started serving tourism in 1910, under the name D&#337;ry Villa.<br />From 1926, the villa was called -Sacher Pension- and was run by a Jewish lady from Veszpr&eacute;m. After its rebuilding in 1936, the residence got a new owner and was named -Astoria Pension-. The property went into state ownership in 1950, and was used for several purposes until it became so worn-down that it was closed. In the early 1990s, the late villa was privatised and completely refurbished. -Hotel Astoria- was reopened in the summer of 2004 to serve as an ideal place for guests seeking relaxation and replenishment.<br /><br /><strong>Rooms</strong><br />Refurbished in 2004, the three-storey historic Hotel Astoria offers seventeen rooms to suit the convenience of a maximum of forty-three guests.<br /><br /><strong>Room Types:</strong></p><ul><li>Standard double</li><li>Triple room</li><li>Suite for 2 persons</li><li>Suite for 4 persons</li></ul><p><br /><strong>Room Facilities:</strong></p><ul><li>TV</li><li>Mini bar</li><li>Free internet access</li><li>Bathroom amenities</li><li>Hairdryer</li></ul><p><br /><strong>Prices Include:</strong></p><ul><li>Substantial buffet breakfast</li><li>Free internet access</li><li>Closed car parking on site</li><li>VAT</li></ul><p><br />City tax, not included in room price, is 1,60 Euro per person per night (after ages 18)<br />Extra beds, baby cots or high chairs are supplied on request.<br />Check In and Check Out Times:<br />Check in from 2:00 PM<br />Check out until 10:00 AM<br /><br /><strong>Payment Methods:</strong></p><ul><li>You may pay in cash or by credit card at the reception desk.</li><li>We accept vacation cheques.</li></ul><p><br /><strong>Services:</strong><br />Rent a bike<br />Rent a sailboat</p><p><br />Cruising by the sailboat &bdquo;Balaton 21&rdquo; that can hold six persons, is an extraordinary recreation opportunity for our guests.
