Book here if you want a serene, tasteful stay.
Pros:

Very responsive and helpful staff. Was dealing with jet lag and a bit of a language barrier upon arrival, and the receptionist was kind enough to assist me in booking a shuttle back to the airport and accommodate a late check out. They shared splendid recommendations of what to do around the area and where to get traditional Romanian bites. The property itself is beautiful and has a lot of intimate, old world charm which is exactly what I wanted. Fantastic location that’s tucked away from the main center (plenty of privacy and quiet) yet still convenient by foot to get around.

Cons:

I wish they extended their breakfast hours or offered a light lunch, unfortunately I slept in and missed the cut off which is 10 am. They offer a varied menu of English, French, Transylvanian and Russian breakfasts which I regret not being able to try. Would consider this closer to a bed and breakfast establishment than a hotel.

Pros:

Si tratta di un'antica casa trasformata in uno splendido boutique hotel, molto tranquillo, vicinissimo al centro (raggiungibile facilmente a piedi in cinque minuti) con alcune bellissime camere - la nostra, suddivisa in più stanze, era enorme - con pavimenti in legno e dettagli curatissimi che conferiscono un'atmosfera d'altri tempi. Si viene accolti dalla gerente molto gentile e disponibile. Eccellente le colazioni: si può scegliere tra colazione classica francese continentale, inglese, russa (con tanto di caviale e salmone), o transilvana (coscia d'anatra e prosecco, confit, succo d'arancia, ecc). La colazione viene servita in un piccolo graziosissimo locale al pianterreno: anche qui dettagli curatissimi e tavolo imbandito con eleganza; anche qui sembra di essere trasportati in un altro mondo.
Eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo.
Possibilità di parcheggiare davanti all'hotel senza sovrapprezzo.

Cons:

Dalle finestre non si ha vista, l'immobile risultando incastonato in una serie di costruzioni. La cosa, comunque, non ci ha minimamente disturbato, considerata la bellezza di tutto il resto.

Excellent hotel in a perfect location for tourists.
Pros:

The location of this hotel is within easy walking distance to the tourist area. The host was very friendly and helpful. There are chairs in the room to sit in. Spacious bathroom. Everything looked clean. Excellent breakfast. We had duck confit which was a rare breakfast offering. But we were very happy to have it. We highly recommend this place.

Cons:

The room across the hallway had their main light on all night which shone through the windows above their door and ours which made our room very bright all night.
