Horia, Romania

My room, #5, was great! It has a small balcony and large window which overlook the city "square" and directly faces the Santa Cruz church. A lot of activities take place in the afternoons and the evenings. I had free entertainment 6 of the 14 nights I was there. Osvaldo the owner and Sarita the housekeeper were both very nice and helpful.

Having to pay cash (but I understand that credit cards put too much loading on their fees for a small business), bit of a trip hazard in the room with a raised tiled area as a base for the wash basin and bidet. No idea where the advertised breakfast could be taken but there are so many options around it was not needed.
The location could not be more central. But very quiet. Helpful staff too.

Unfortunately the accommodation is very old, the bed was not super comfortable but still ok. The interior of the room was quite old. The only thing which I did not like was the very small and old bathroom and its door, which could not be locked, because it was that old. In January no problem, since almost no one was in the accommodation but in summer maybe a bit annoying.
The staff was super friendly and heartful and helped me with the heavy luggage, since my room was in the fifth level. The breakfast was outside in a small café, you get a sweet and a hearty piece (e.g. toast with cheese and ham and a pastel de Nata) and a coffee. For me it was sufficient. The location of the guest house is perfect, directly in the heart of the city. The rooms where cold (it was January), but had a small (but loud) heater, which helped a bit.

No heating. Cold in the room in December. Brrrr. You have to use thick blankets. Limited warm water in the evening. A steep stairs (high ceilings).
Very good location in the centre of the city. A good Internet access. A big room. Nice view from the window. Enough space. Bakeries, shops etc. everywhere around. A large supermarket on the way from/to a bus station. Good price for a single bed.

This structure had to be a brothel, rooms with bidet and lavabo. Very pictoresque. And in front of it the view on Santa Cruz church. Il sacro e il profano. Fado at the Santa Cruz cafè. The landlord was very very helpful with the parking ;-)

The room was up four flights of steep stairs, kind of hard on 80-year-old knees.
Once I inserted my earplugs the room was very quiet.

It was a very cold day and there wasn't even a portable heater in the room. We didn't shower since if we did we would have catch a cold for sure. Beds were totally uncomfortable.
The location was great, right in the middle of the old town.

No elevator. Old building. Reception was on 3rd floor and rooms were in 4th and 5th floor. Lots of stairs. Nor good for someone with big suitcase.
Good location. Across from church. Lots of eateries and shops nearby at the square. Opted for breakfast paying the extra 3,50€. Were given vouchers for set breakfast at nearby cafes.

While there were information that hotel has a parking, in reality it is situated in pedestrian zone so you are not able to drive to the hotel and what is more important - it does NOT have a parking! You need to drive and park a car somewhere at a paid parking, which is not very close to the hotel. One more unpleasant thing - be ready that in your room will be present a smell of the toilet.
