Good location, nice staff

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 12, 2012
My sister and I stayed one night here after a very long train journey. The staff were helpful in offering advice on how to get to the airport to pick up our hire car the next day, what we could expect to pay the cab driver etc. The room was comfortable and cool (no air con though) The outdoor courtyard area was being renovated and the staff were apologetic about this but it didn't bother us.
Basic outdated bathroom but it was clean and the water pressure was good.
Breakfast was the usual European cold cuts, cheeses, sweets etc.
Good for a city stopover if you need a place in town. Close to the older, nicer part of Cluj-Napoca (walking distance)
Wifi worked well.

We stayed one night at the Hotel Transilvania. The location was very good - easy to walk to the main areas and sights. We had a basic double room, so it was a little small. The rooms were very clean, though slightly run down. The wifi access worked well and there was free parking in a secure lot in the back. The staff was friendly. For the price this is a decent pick.

Room tip: If you are staying for more than a night, spend the extra money on a bigger room.

I April, we slept three nights at Hotel Transilvania in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Very nice.
Clean and spacious rooms, very friendly staff, and a perfect location, right in the center of town.
Will stay there again on our next visit to Cluj.

Friendly and efficient staff, very clean and secure rooms and brilliant location. My only small suggestion add an extra rubbish bin to bedroom (there is a small one in bathroom). Will definately stay again and again on every visit to cluj - the town has won me over for vacations. Stayed for two nights. Hotel restaurant is also recommended!

We stayed three nights at Hotel Transilvania. Our room was not made up after the first night. We asked that we, at the very least, have clean towels and toilet tissue. At nine that night we went to the desk and there was a plastic bag with the aforementioned items in it. The next day we had maid service. The breakfast buffet was the worst of our tour.

We had a packed breakfast our last morning: two buns with a piece of ham, piece of cheese and a nice ripe slice of tomato - I combined the fillings of both on one half of the bun, ate two bites and threw it out. There was a bottle of water, one apple, two jams with nothing to put it on or spread it with and a processed triangle of cheese. I asked about coffee and was told that it is not possible to make coffee at 3:30 AM...I can think of many ways to make coffee at that hour.

The bed was like sleeping on box springs.

Room tip: Do try the bed. We were on a tour so we couldn't go somewhere better.

Reviewed August 2, 2011

The hotel's about a hundred yards up a side street from the main (Unirii) square, so the position's good for what a tourist would probably want to see ((e.g. St Michael's Church in the square, the house where Matthias Corvinus was born, the Ethnographic Museum...). Otherwise it's basic and inexpensive. Nothing fancy.

Depending on what room you're given, you might have a bit of a trek from the front desk to your room.

Staff on front desk helpful and friendly. Room OK. Breakfast nothing to write home about.

I was there on the evening when the restaurant was closed, so I had dinner in a hotel in the square.
