Hotels near Council Square, Brasov

We (a family for 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12) stopped only one night in Brasov en route to Istanbul by train. We stayed in apar**ent #1. The room was perfect - two bedrooms, super stylish, cool bathroom and AMAZING shower!! Great location in the old town and the hotel staff were really helpful! Choosing a hotel in Brasov is hard - the online information is quite opaque - so let me help and just suggest you stay here :) One night in this lovely town / area isn’t quite enough but equally, we had a great time.

The service was excellent from the check in which was made by Roxana to the restaurant, SPA and the housekeeping staff. The rooms are very nice, vintage but modern, you feel the experience of the mountain side, the fresh air. The SPA is very modern, the inside pool and outside jacuzzi were amazing, so relaxing and comfortable. Răzvan from front office was very nice also, helpful, but i would like to thank from the bottom of my heart to Miruna, who served us at the restaurant, she made my stay outstanding, always smiling and asking if everything was alright, very efficient and friendly. By the way, the food was delicious. WHORTY!! SIMPLY THE BESY !

First things first - booked online, pictures looking great , upon arrival the situation changed slightly ... even that we booked the 4 star section of the hotel and we got the room there (it has a 3 star section also, but I doubt I want to know how that is looking like after seeing the 4 star room), but yes you pay like for a 4 star hotel - and in Brasov in the summer - end of July, full holidays season is not a small amount I can tell you. Still , it was suiting a purpose - we only spent 3 nights here so it is not the end of the world. A few ”minuses” - dated furniture showing signs of wear, a slight musty scent despite of the odorants used during house keeping, the minibar overpriced like beyond belief plus the door of the small fridge was not closing properly unless you ”persuaded” it a little bit, shower booth very small by any standard, very average breakfast - to say the least- if spend more than a few days here you just give up on it in have breakfast in the city, plus during breakfast the tables were cleaned between customers with great delay, staff was more busy with their morning chat (and making some very unappropriated comments in Romanian about some Muslim guests attending breakfast - not all your customers are foreigners people! be a bit careful with your tongues.) Some ”pluses” - the room was spacious, the beds were comfortable nothing to complain, hotel was not noisy from my perspective, free parking and we could always find a spot to park, supermarket 2 minutes walking from the hotel, historical center very close to the hotel , 10-12 minutes walk and you are there, they got breakfast, even that is boring and limited in options, at least you got something, very fast check in and check out. And the tropical fish tank in the lobby area is excellent! Overall not a bad option, not 4 star from my perspective - I've seen hotels on 5 continents - this is not 4 ... more like 3-ish ... price to quality ratio needs improvement... still we had a good stay , we only needed a place to sleep and shower so it suited the purpose since the majority of time we were out of the room.

The hosts are incredibly nice and welcoming, the rooms and conference hall are very beautifully arranged and organised. The atmosphere is really pleasing, especially on the skybar, where you can relax and chat with your friends next to a big pool. An amazing experience, I highly recommend it. I will definitely come back, it id totally worth it.

The photos of the hostel are beautiful and the location is really good, in the center of everything in Brasov. The positive points end there, as nothing seems to work in this hostel. They don't have their own internet, they use the internet from a restaurant next door that obviously doesn't work properly. In the rooms the internet does not work at all, to get a signal you have to sit on the patio, subject to the weather and where there is no socket and just two tiny and uncomfortable tables. There is no other common area and no kitchen available. The rooms are dark. In room number 4 on the ground floor, there is no air conditioning, but the price is the same as the first floor rooms with air conditioning. The showers release a thin trickle of water, almost insufficient to take a comfortable shower and the shower mechanism is damaged so it is not possible to leave the shower at a comfortable height for a person 1.70 or over to take a shower (this happens in ALL the hostel bathrooms). The bathroom door in room number 4 does not lock. The receptionist is never there, doesn't solve anything at all and just says that if you want, she'll give you the money back and you should look elsewhere, as she can't do anything. I complained about the internet several times and was told that they don't have any other internet available and they can't do anything. Check-in is at 3pm, but my bed was only available after 3:30pm. I'm used to staying in really simple hostels, with basic structure, but I've never seen a hostel with so many problems at the same time and simply no desire to solve anything. Especially not having internet, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Wonderful experience. The reception staff is amazing, always smiling and ready to help at any moment. They make the difference between a good and excellent stay. The room was great, high technology and interesting design. The food in the restaurant is also amazing.

Wholly cow! What an awesome place. Perfect location, rooms were great. Each of the rooms are a whole different story, my family enjoyed that a lot. Every detail is simply a great one, without making anything complicated. Direct and unobstructed view to the plaza. Coming back in Summer for sure!

We stayed here for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The reception staff were very pleasant and kind; our room, large and comfortable with all amenities; breakfast was superb and in a lovely bright and airy breakfast room with a glass ceiling and views to the Brașov sign on the hillside. In the summer, there is stepped terrace outside for having breakfast on, which also looked lovely. If, like us, you enjoy skiing, the hotel is just a few seconds walk away from the shuttle bus up to Poiana Brașov. One or two niggles would be that the volume on the TV was either set or stuck at such a low level it was unusable. Also the safe in the room didn't work. We could have raised these issues with the staff though, but we didn't!

This place is in a perfect location for the main square and the cable car to the mountain, giving you access to all the local eating places, bars and attractions like the Black Church. Our room was spacious and clean, and the bed was large and very comfortable. The shower was good, with nice water pressure and plenty of hot water. There is a fridge, but no air con. However, we put the fan on a couple of times, and that was fine. Housekeeping comes in daily. Despite being so central, it is a lovely quiet place to stay. My only criticism is that there is no way I could make some tea in the room. The coffee machine in the lobby was appreciated, but a kettle for us tea lovers would be a great addition.

Our stay was a mixed bag: an impressive façade and spacious accommodations but significant shortcomings in facility management and staff conduct. We booked a premium suite to celebrate my wife’s birthday with our daughters amid the picturesque mountain scenery. We were initially impressed, but issues soon became apparent. Inoperative in-suite sauna, a defective window, an unstable chair armrest, tired old mattresses, no plug near the coffee maker are examples in our suite. Despite assurances of repair from reception staff, the sauna was never fixed, and staff were dismissive when inquired about. Cristina at reception was particularly discourteous and unprofessional. The breakfast buffet fell short of expectations: inadequate replenishment of food and beverage items, cold eggs, and uncleaned tables. The swimming pool area, though aesthetically pleasing, posed safety hazards due to slippery floors. Inflatable toys for kids were all pierced and unusable. We observed kitchenware being soaked in the hotel pond while returning to the hotel at night -＞ a potential food safety issue? When trying to discuss the issues with the manager on duty at check-out, we were told (by Cristina) that there was none that day. If true, that might explain the operational deficiencies. Inconsistent service quality and neglect of maintenance indicate a disregard for customer satisfaction and operational standards. Improvements in management and infrastructure would be needed to align with expectations of discerning travellers. Overall, an unpleasant 'aftertaste' outweighs the positive aspects of our stay. We'll only consider coming back to this establishment if big changes are implemented.
