Romania Hotels

Advantages: Central, individual, stylish ;-)
Disadvantages: Cheaply made, often a smoking breakfast

The Do Stil is close to the center of Timisoara on the Take Ionescu, easily visible by the fancy lighting. It is part of a group of "Style" places which also comprise a bar/restaurant and a fitness club, all trying to be an epitome of style First impressions The first thing you see when entering the hotel is a sofa to the right, a flatscreen television on the left wall and a tiny reception desk straight ahead, usually with someone hurrying to it. ...
...the stairs to the rooms (although I think I remember an elevator being there), the hotel shows itself to have nice, very individual rooms, some of them very stylishly decorated (wooden floors, huge bed in the middle of it, bathroom with frosted glass and green neon lighting which is visible from the street). Beds are nice, towels are excellent (very thick and good quality) and the rooms are decently stocked with a mini-bar. Brushing your teeth and ... Read review

Advantages: Choice of accommodation, bargain price, lovely setting
Disadvantages: Scary dogs in neighbourhood

When you're on the road for a while, you will from time to time, find yourself having to stay in a place for no other reason than you can't get any further that day. Iasi, a gloomy industrial town in northern Romania was such a port of call for me - twice, on Saturday nights a week apart. Such is the lack of decent but cheap hotels in Iasi that I ended up staying both times in an overpriced place I wouldn't have bothered with any other time. This ...
...I got to Brasov, I wanted to stay somewhere with a little more character, something more of my own choosing than simply the best of a bad lot.

We managed to fend off hordes of potential landladies at the bus station on our arrival in Brasov - not easy when some are showing you photographs ... Read review

Advantages: Bang in the middle of the Airport and the main city
Disadvantages: Hard to get taxis in the winter

When I first saw this place it seemed to stand out like a sore thumb. It was middle of January and vey dull but this place seemed to light up the area quite nicely. I spent alot of time here between January and May and as time went by got to know the surrounding area very well. Its an ideal place to stay in the summer as you've got a very nice lake nearby. Here they have alot of bars/restaraunts open during the summer and its makes it a pleasent ...
...the food at the hotel is mediocre so really it was best to eat out. Getting a Taxi into Bucharest costs around 2 quid but its worth it to eat properly. Getting one there is no problem but getting one back when theres a foot of snow around is an absolute nightmare!!! It took me almost 2 hours one evening (ok I waited in the Irish bar) but its not what you want when you have an early start in the morning. It was quite handy for work this place but ... Read review
