    There was no such situation. Everything was fine.

    The breakfast was delicious. An explosion of flavor on the taste buds. They could be ordered directly to the room at an hour appropriate for the guest - this is a very big plus. In my opinion, the best service in the world. Mrs. Satine, I have never met such a committed and professional person in a hotel. I hope Mrs. Satine is treated as best as possible by the owners of this hotel.

    Personally, it would have been perfect if there had been an elevator!, albeit first floor but steep and narrow stairs. (Staff offered to help bring the suitcases up)

    Everything I wanted, central place, with parking (extra charge), themed room, very good breakfast, and excellent hosts!

    A true gem, tiny boutique hotel, perfectly located, with most friendly and helpful staff, fabulous breakfast (think caviar and prosecco) but the most amazing was the design of the room and common spaces, classy, with attention to detail, allowing for a journey back in time. Definitely recommend it!

    Shower didn't really suit the vibe of the room, but still a good shower.

    Gorgeous big room, with lovely furnishings and decoration. Parking is on the street, the hotel do have a few spots reserved but failing that there was much more street parking near by - hotel charge 25lei a day parking which is the same as the rest of the steet parking. Breakfast options were provided on a menu and we had to select the evening before what we wanted to have - there were nice choices. Location couldn't be better.

    Wonderful Hotel With Own Parking )
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    It is not related to the hotel, but the trip from the Bucharest to Brasov (about 180 km) was extremely exhaustive and lasted more than 5 hours (but we persistently advise by the way to visit "ETU Pizza and Grill" petroleum station near Breaza - to make a trip more pleasant and to have a tasty dinner!).

    The hotel is totally amazing! It has it's own parking and this is really megacomfortable in car-crowded Brasov city! During check-in we got enough compliments from the hotel (especially delicious berries liqour). The room was spacious, clean and warmy. Nice interior, wonderful bathroom with both cabin and very comfortable bathtub. The breakfast was amazing because of tasty dishes and friendly staff. We ordered in the evening three different breakfast options and were totally right, because each of them has its own positive moments. Also you can construct your own breakfast from various menu positions. The hotel is 3 minutes by feet from the very center of the city (the Black Church). Thanks to all the hotel staff, we liked it so much!

    There was a bit of confusion about the parking situation - it’s reserved for guests out the front but you have to pay. This is mentioned in their policies but we didn’t notice that and the staff conceded it had been a recent change. Small matter though. Overall excellent, but not cheap.

    Very nice villa with a lot of history, in an excellent location a stone’s throw from the main square. Rooms were very comfortable, and breakfast was made to order for us. Small, boutique property with lots of charm.

    I personally would have appreciated it if there was a jacuzzi or a swimming pool. Other than this wish, everything was perfect.

    It is an excellent location for those who want to escape to a cozy and elegant aristocratic retreat. The rooms are gorgeous, the service is impeccable and the breakfast is exquisite. As a bonus, it is right in the historic center, and within walking distance of all major attractions.

    Absolutely nothing. Everything is very thoughtful. The Wi-Fi might not always be reliable enough for working remotely, but they have clearly tried to mitigate that with multiple networks around the property.

    This is the most carefully designed boutique hotel I have ever stayed in! The aesthetic and attention to detail are for the truly discerning femme. It’s a historic townhouse next to the Poarta Schei that calls back to Austro-Hungarian empire glory with modern design touches, and a lovely little jewelry store downstairs which offers a discount to guests. Our room (the Onyx suite) had a flawless, original art deco bedroom furniture set, velvet curtains, and a deep standalone bathtub. We felt truly at home and as if in a palace at the same time. The street view was lovely and with the windows closed it was perfectly quiet. Don’t miss the wonderful a la carte breakfast service, especially the Russian breakfast! The careful aesthetic continues into the sitting room and breakfast experience. The car parking right out front was also a lifesaver. It’s a very small hotel with very personal service and always a lovely, friendly, helpful lady in the lobby if you need anything. We can’t wait to return!

    I would invest a bit more in the towels as they are a bit worn out. Also the bathroom sink is not working properly and has not been working in either of our 3 stays there

    super cozy, clean and with an excellent staff. the breakfast is one of the main highlights of the property together with rooms furbishing. services are impeccable. its really a great stay if you want to explore how people lived in the 18th century
