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.

Camera tip economic Mozart features free WiFi throughout the property and views of garden in Cluj-Napoca. The property is close to Cluj-Napoca Palace of Justice, Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral and Cluj-Napoca Transfiguration Cathedral. EXPO Transilvania is 3.6 km from the hostel and VIVO!

The location of the room was excellent - within walking distance to a wealth of interesting places, like the old town, the fabulous park near the arena, the canal, some great pubs, the cathedral and plaza with outdoor cafes. We could also walk to the train station. It was a very affordable place to stay while exploring Cluj-Napoca. Although we never met the hosts, they were very communicative, via email, which worked for us. Thank you!

The units in the hostel are equipped with a kettle. Rooms are fitted with a desk and a flat-screen TV, and certain units at Casa Thomas Cluj have a balcony. At the accommodation every room includes bed linen and towels.

I lucked out in finding this lodging. It is within a few hundred meters of the Cluj's Botanical Garden. It is also only a few blocks ...downhill and then level... from the city's main square. I couldn't have asked for a better location! I happened to arrive at a time when the owner/manager had arrived so we were able to arrange everything quickly. I thought the common bathroom was clean and the property was well-lit at night, both inside and outside. I also think the neighborhood was safe.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hotels I have ever visited. Both the room and bathroom were very big and comfortable. Amazing decoration. Beautiful view to the city from my window (3rd floor). Great location, 3 min walk from the city center. Next to the central road but at the same time very quiet. Just perfect!

    I booked a bed in a four bed dormitory. It must have been empty because I was upgraded to a twin room with ensuite, and I was the only occupant. Delicious Mediterranean breakfast. Great location. Communal kitchen a bit of a shambles, but if you want luxury go to the hilton. Highly recommended.

    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.
