“Not Bad at All!”

The first thing that I must tell people who might not be too familiar with Europe or Romania specifically, is that this will not be exactly like your home or the finest stay you could possibly pay for.

The first thing that I must tell people who might not be too familiar with Europe or Romania specifically, is that this will not be exactly like your home or the finest stay you could possibly pay for. That being said, I must say that I was pretty impressed by this hotel. We were not sure what to expect with such an affordable price and we've seen some rough reviews. However, aside from a very few cosmetic imperfections, we thought the room itself was pretty nice and very clean. Housekeeping came daily to make beds and remove trash and the staff was A+! Although they struck me as being a bit rude at first, they proved to be very helpful. The manager even gave up her private room, and had it cleaned first, to give it to my father-in-law so our family could all room side by side. My husband is disabled and is in a wheelchair and we had no trouble asking the staff or even other guests to help us down the small amount of stairs to get to the lobby. If you're concerned about the trip to the beach, yes I will say it is a little bit of a walk. However, in Romania walking is not such a big deal and assuming that you're not completely lazy , this walk is very manageable and only about 5 mins. Just bring what you need to spend the day at the beach and you won't need to run back to the hotel many times. My husband and I were confused about the amenities offered as we found that it varies from site to site so I will also say here what we found. Yes there is an elevator, however there are just a few (5 or so) steps that you have to climb to access the "ground" floor where you will find the elevator so be prepared for that. There is also a ramp at the front of the building to access the lobby so no worries there. The shower is in a typical Romanian style so even though there is a cloth shower curtain, the water will go all over the floor in the tiled bathroom but there is a floor drain in the center of the bathroom so be prepared for this as well. A wet bathroom is not unusual in this country as they usually build their bathrooms completely out of tiles and design it to get wet. There are balconies in almost every room above the ground floor, air conditioning in all rooms (or at least most but I think they all have a/c) there is also a tv though ours was a small, old model. I think all of the rooms have two twin beds. I do not think you can get one large bed in your room. This is another typical European thing so don't be alarmed and if it bothers you that much you can easily push the beds together and stuff a towel in the center of them. The beds are, however, very low to the ground so keep that in mind too. They have a pool and restaurant. You have to walk outside just a bit through the courtyard of the hotel to reach the restaurant and pool but they are there. I did not use either of these but the pool seemed nice, well kept and quiet. Though it did look like they had either a small kid's pool or Jacuzzi that was not working and it was not so well maintained at the time. Keep in mind if you book this hotel, that you are not planning to spend all of your time in a hotel room. It's really only for sleeping and cleaning yourself up. I hope that others who book this hotel won't get too bent out of shape over minor flaws as this hotel really was worth the price we paid and we barely spent any time in it. Our vacation was centered around the beach and the local atmosphere which were both spectacular! Hope you all enjoy!

“Wonderfull architecture at a cheap place”

Even if the room may seam little the price is also small. The impressive thing is the building architecture. The place is clean and the staff is kind. It would have a major advantage in the area if it would take advantage of all the facilities that the hotel have. The pool is clean and nice.
