Baile Herculane is that kind of station where you need 7 days+ to enjoy the relaxation and to feel the real beauty of the nature. Absolutely amazing, great people, a very good source of fresh air, treatment for body and soul. I strongly recommend to visit Baile Herculane if you want to understand the difference between real relaxation and "city break". :-)

Baile Herculane is the FILTHIEST place I've ever been to!! The buildings are all old, rundown and derelict, there is nothing to see or visit as all the tourist attractions have been closed down due to how rundown they are. There are lots of stray dogs walking the streets and constantly barking throughout the night, there are mountains of rubbish outside hotels which absolutely stink as you walk around the streets, there are less than 10 places to eat which are absolutely filthy so there is nowhere to eat! The hot springs are too dirty to even try, they are NOT free flowing, fresh water, they are more like a concrete pond where water collects, very small, where everyone sits in and there is no cleaning system, so it's like a stew of everyone's dirty bath. I booked a train back the following day after exploring the grim of this place, there was no transport back until the following day otherwise I would have left straight away!

If you want to see the beauty of historical buildings which are not renovated in more than 50 years: feel the pain....and be astonished about the ignorance of local governers and political parties how they were able to destry their culture and rich history.

Herculane is going through a major change and I can see the effort to improve the aspect of the buildings! It has a great potential if it is in the right hands! Every building in Herculane that is ran down can become functional and inviting, again, if in the right hands! Personally, Herculane is a memory lane for me, so I would come here no matter what- more so now that I have discovered Hotel Versay! The nature and thermal waters are absolutely amazing!

Good but not outstanding. Good hiking trails with many good eateries around. Very beatiful “valea Cernei” which is the name of the river running through thr place. The terms have been in use since ancient times. The old town is terrible, nor maitained. Everything could be enhanced to become a touristic jewelery, but ...it is not ! :(
