Astari
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Astari is worth booking for most visitors to Tarragona: it shares the top guest score in the city and sits about 8 minutes on foot from the cathedral and amphitheatre. Drivers should note that the garage fills up and spaces are tight.

Astari is our Best Value pick for Tarragona. It suits couples, families and sightseers who want a well-rated four-star hotel within a short walk of the Roman sites. Guests give it 9.0 out of 10 across 3,689 reviews, and family rooms are listed.
It is not the cheapest option. If every euro counts, our Budget pick costs about €37 less a night. And if you plan to spend your trip at PortAventura Park, this is not the obvious base, as the park is far.
Drivers who need a guaranteed space should read the parking notes below.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Via Augusta, 95-97. Guests rate the location 8.8 out of 10 and describe a quiet setting, 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the old town and the beaches.
Tarragona Cathedral and the Tarragona Amphitheatre are each about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot. Those are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
PortAventura Park is about 9.6 km away, around two hours on foot. That is far, so you will need public transport, a taxi or your own car. A beach is mentioned in the provider facilities, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or a set distance.
What guests say
Location comes up first. Guests like the quiet setting and the short walk into the old town and down to the beaches.
Breakfast is the other strong point. Reviewers mention a varied buffet with fresh fruit, homemade yogurt and both hot and cold options. Full English and buffet styles are listed.
The main complaint is parking. The underground garage is secure, but spaces are tight and it fills up quickly. If you arrive late in a large car, that can be a problem.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) were €97.96 a night, about €196 in total. The sample median was €79.98 a night, so Astari sits above the middle of the market. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Lauria, cost €60.48 a night, has 3 stars and a guest score of 8.4. Our Luxury pick, H10 Imperial Tarraco 4 Sup, was €145.84 a night, 4 stars, with a score of 9.0.
So Astari matches the Luxury pick on guest score while costing about €48 less a night. The property lists a pool, restaurant, garden, terrace, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Check opening times and any fees for your dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Tarragona. Astari shared the top review score position, 9.0 from 3,689 reviews. Our Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, rather than simply picking the cheapest.
A high score from a large number of reviews, at a price well below our Luxury pick, is exactly what that slot is for.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether breakfast is in your rate.
If you are driving, ask about garage availability and cost before arrival, given what guests say about it filling up.
The pool is listed, but in November it may not be open or heated. Confirm that with the hotel if it matters to you.
