Cetatea Medievala
10/10 Excellent
"I had a truly enjoyable experience at Cetatea Medievala. The atmosphere perfectly blends historical charm with comfort, creating a unique and relaxing setting. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the décor reflected the beautiful medieval character of the location. The courtyard was a lovely place to sit and enjoy a coffee, surrounded by the warm brick walls and peaceful ambiance.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, making my stay feel welcoming from start to finish. The location is ideal for exploring the area, with plenty of cultural and historical attractions nearby.
Overall, it was an excellent stay, and I would happily return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking both comfort and an authentic touch of history."
"Booked at the last minute when other plans fell through, and this hotel exceeded our expectations. Excellent condition, very comfortable, with a nice pool and a great breakfast. Decent location (about 15-20 min walk to Piata Mare)."
"Just at the entrance to the Old town. Do not use a hotel parking it's expansive. Download parking APP and pay $6 for 24 hours at any spots in the town. Breakfast is good. Do not like restroom in the room. It's all made from translucent glass. "
