Discover the authentic Romanian hospitality
Amazing place. Great quality..best staff. Perfect sleep
Don’t want this review to be too long so I will point out the reasons why even 1/5 is too much for the place. Spent Christmas there and was one of the worst in my life. I thought my expectations may be too high but no, it weren’t, not too this level. It was 5 days/4 nights ‘traditional’ Christmas all inclusive break. Supposed to be… - all inclusive where you had to pay 8 RON to drink a beer, - all inclusive where there was no home made wine, only wine available was from carton (150 RON per 10l), cheap one, - all inclusive where to you had to pay extra to have lunch (for instance when back from Mocanica trip), - Breakfast wasn’t the great but if you woke up too late, most of it was gone and not replaced, - Dinner wasn’t good (majority meat with lots of fat) and in small portions, who knows the food - for example you had like 1-2 max Sarmale per person and when asked for more, they couldn’t provide, - Meat/food was reused for 3 days in a row (meat not consumed for dinner was reused next day for breakfast), - The same breakfast for 4 days running, - Orange juice mixed with water, - Two coffee machines so you had to wait good 10-20 min to make yourself a coffee, - Host awful, “good impression” when on Christmas Day he’s sending all people to the city rather than entertaining within Hotel, - Coming back post 23:00, all closed and no access to restaurant, - Children used as waitresses, they tried hard but of course no experience and shame they had to spent their Christmas serving others and cleaning after, - No Christmas spirit, no one dressed traditionally, tables are not prepared in Christmas spirit, - Rooms loud, if someone is taking a shower in the house (different rooms), you can’t sleep as noise circa 60-70db from running water/old pipes, - Insects found in the bed, not clean enough, There’s probably much more to add. All done in a very cheap, awful way. Having previous experience in Maramures I can say with full confidence - this place is not good if you want to feel Romanian spirit. Please avoid.
The room is ok but it wasn't very clean when we arrived. Breakfast was also poor. There is a really bad sewage smell coming from the bathroom. Also, in our second night, we came back tired after the lovely train ride, desperate to get some rest.. but they play music outside so loud it's not possible! All rooms face the same middle area where people hang out until late hours, play music, etc, and you need the window open because there is no AC. You just have to wait for everyone else to sleep, to get to sleep..
I really enjoyed our stay here and even though you don't have many activities to choose from, if you want a good meal and a good night's sleep then this place will be perfect. Also there is a nearby steam locomotive train station that should definitely be checked out, as the distance travelled with it and scenery will be well worth your while.
