Norblad Hotel

The hotel was vintage, unique and very charming. The staff was incredibly friendly. I’ll definitely be back.

We were greeted by a friendly clerk who later answered our questions about the hotel's history, and about the area. We had booked a 'cabin' room, and the clerk was careful to explain this meant toilet & shower down the hall. (We knew already, but are glad he would tell people who might not be aware.). The hotel's decor is charmingly minimalistic, clean, and comfortable to the max. There is a kitchen for use, and the nice front desk area with the fireplace is easily accessible to all. The hotel is not for people with disabilities as it is up 2 flights of stairs. And extras. like soap by the sink in each room, aren't provided. But there are lots of towels and bathrobes for your treks to the shower rooms. Lots of toilet and shower rooms; I doubt there is ever a wait for one. The Norblad is located near the Library, the Historical Society, downtown shops, the Maritime Museum, the Blue Scorcher Co-op Cafe, a food co-op -- it's a walker's paradise.

My stay was relaxing and pleasant, very enjoyable...

Different. Having a shared bathroom but, never an issue. Very nice place to rest your head

The Norblad is my got-to when visiting Astoria. For its location, right in the center of town and next door to the Fort George Brewery, it's quite affordable. I don't mind the shared bathrooms or showers, because they are always clean and it seems like no one else is even around to use them. The decor is simple (think IKEA) but comfortable, the building old (thin walls/doors, so maybe wear earplugs if you're a light sleep) but super clean, and the staff is super friendly, even providing coffee/tea/hot chocolate in the morning.

Clean, great staff. Noise travels so bring earplugs. Shared bathrooms were clean. May be helpful for travelers to know that there is not a refrigerator in the room or the communal kitchen, though a small one is at the front desk.

Fantastic! So clean and nice! Loved it!

This hotel was so charming! It had such friendly staff and a really clean and just over all great environment. It is an older character building with modern decor, it was excellent. I will definitely stay there whenever I’m in Astoria.

Beds were comfy and I loved the minimalist look. Was close to everything downtown area, so we walked. The staff was helpful.

This hotel is fantastically quirky and comfortable. The service was excellent, and our room was small but nicely appointed. As others have mentioned, the walls and windows are thin so some street noise made its way in, but they provide earplugs (and it’s Astoria—not the busiest city in the world). Also, the proximity to Fort George is so dangerous.
