    Everything was perfect! The hotel room was spacious, had very nice design and offered great views to the mountain and river (we were at the 3rd floor). The matress was very comfortable, not too soft, not too hard. The bedroom and bathroom were very well organized and practical. The bathroom has a spacious shower and a lot of space to place personal items on. The room had a nice balcony. Everything was spotless. All staff was one of the most friendly that I have encountered. The spa was very well organized and spotless, included an indoor-outdoor thermal pool, children pool, 2 saunas, showers, nice music and massage room. The restaurant has amazing food, and breakfast was very variate and delicious. One of the best breakfast experiences for us. Hotel's own good and spacious parking space was available for free. Riverside landskapes and riverside walking path are close to the hotel. 5 star experience for us and we we are looking forward to visit again this hotel.

    There were two minor issues that I noticed but were not a big deal and did not affect our great experience at this Hotel 1) The Sound Isolation of the room we staied in (room 19, on the first floor) was not that good. During the Day we could hear people from the nearby pools, through the Closed Balcony Door. But this was NOT an issue during the night because the Hotel is in a relatively quite locations and the pools are closed. 2) The shower tap in our room was loose and with the small touch it either shut the water off, or changed the temperature. It was a bit annoying when showering, because it was extremely easy to shut the water off or make it cold unintentionally.

    In my opinion, this Hotel has the best SPA Area I have seen in this region. The Pools are very big, and they are kept at a high temperature constantly. Sauna is always on (during the operational hours) and it has a lot of room (compared with other hotels where they would turn it on for 1 hours and only if we booked it). The entire SAP was kept clean and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

    This hotel was truly amazing. The location of the hotel is perfect, settled only a few minutes away from the centre of calimanesti. The facilities were amazing, especially the outdoor pool area (heated), jacuzzi and sauna. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were comfy and huge. The showers are huge! Generally the hotel itself was very clean and well put together. The staff were particularly very friendly and accommodating. We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant and they provided us with blankets when we sat on the outdoor terrace - we thought this was really nice! The breakfast buffet and dinner options at the restaurant were very tasty and I must compliment the kitchen staff - bravo!!!

    Relax and joy is the middle name of this beautiful place. The hotel has acces to the pool indoor and outdoor, with hot thermal water, sauna masage ( the massage need to be payed) and jacuzzi. The stuff was very nice and always eager to help you and the room was very big and clean. Breakfast was delicious, really nice food and the view from the rastaurant is top ❤️ because you cand see the Olt river. Car parking free, elevator.

    It's the verry first hotel that draws my attention from the second sentence when I arrive at the hotel, that I booked a room for 2 adults and I have to pay for breakfast and access to the swimming pool for the 7-year-old boy. After paying 100 euros for a night, asking another 8 euros for a glass of milk and cereals, leaves a bitter taste. How much can a 7year old kid can eat for having to ask 8 euros? I agree with paying for access to the pool, but a business that wants to succeed needs to offer a different kind of attention to details!

    Located on the banks of the Olt river, the hotel has a swimming pool with heated thermal water - an aspect that did not catch my eye in the description of the location. Attention to details is an aspect that stands out. The cleaning staff is exceptionally kind!

    This was a gift for my parents during Easter, and they loved everything. It was very clean with nice views. The staff was nice and breakfast was delicious. The pool was clean, and the location was close to other activities and Cozia Monastery.
