The staff was super friendly and have explained everything well, even if they don't speak perfect English, you can communicate everything with them. The room was clean, the shower and toilet were also super clean and in a working order. But the best thing is, we came with our bikes and we could park them right infront of our room and we practically slept with our bikes 🙂. The parking is enclosed and off limits to general public.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We use this place for early flights, I find it perfect, not far from the airport and it's quiet with good parking place. The owner does his best to assist as we left the car parked there for 1 week and it was cheap and safe compared to other places.

    I arrived in Cluj with rain and the sun almost falling, I entered the hostel and was greeted by a very friendly couple, they offered me coffee and chocolate, they showed me the place and where I could leave my things in a safe place. When I spent the night, the room with shared beds was at a good temperature, making my stay with them and the rest of the guests very pleasant.

    The hostel is cute, the staff are nice, and they make you free coffee. Location is great, right in the heart of Cluj. The Romanian paintings on the wall are cool, and the place is secured and felt safe.

    The apartment has a great location and the parking place is gold. it is located close to the city centre, inside a yard with other neighbours but it is quite calm and peaceful, safe and secure. The apartment has a great design and you can tell that they put effort into making it efficient.

    My partner and I had a lovely stay here! Great location, close to the Cluj Opera and the main square. The apartment was very modern and clean. The bed was comfy and the complex felt very safe and secure. The host was also very communicative and it was very easy to pick up the keys and leave the keys. I highly recommend for solo travellers or couples. The TV was also massive and had Netflix - perfect to wind down after a 10 hour tour!
