Hotel Medieval

Mi esposa y yo nos hospedamos en este hotel por una noche entre el 20 y el 21 de junio. Quedamos muy contentos con la experiencia. Por alguna razón no nos habíamos hecho las mejores expectativas. Rápidamente nos dimos cuenta del error y nos enamoramos del hotel. Muy bien situado en el corazón de la ciudad y en un edificio muy especial, parece que fue cuartel militar alguna vez. Tiene un amplio patio interior con una fuente de agua donde hay hasta tortugas, y un bonito restaurante. La recepción el día en que llegamos fue muy atenta, la más amable de los 7 hoteles que visitamos en nuestras vacaciones en Rumanía. La habitación era muy grande y señorial con dos rincones con mesa y sillones, muebles varios para diferentes usos. Un baño grande con bañera gigante, ideal para quién acostumbra bañarse en estos artilugios. Suficientes tomacorrientes para recargar todos los electrónicos. El desayuno se sirve en un comedor todo elegante con un patio exterior lleno de césped. Y por si esto fuera poco, la tarifa fue más que razonable. ¿Fallas? Hace mucha falta un escritorio para el computador portátil. Tuve que usar como escritorio improvisado algún mueble no muy apto lo que resultó incómodo. Pero salvo por eso fue una estancia para recordar con agrado.

Does not deserve 5* Location is excellent, staff was very welcoming but .... bad ratio quality price : AC was noisy and unefficient, one window was broken and could not be closed properly, very small shower, only one toilet paper roll, not enouth plugs although the breakfast started officially at 0700, the buffet was not complete at that time which is not good as we had to leave rightaway

Such a nice hotel! Located in the medieval fortress, very clean, very comfortable bed and pillows, quality furniture, we loved our stay there. Maybe breakfast can be improved a little, but overall we were impressed.

This hotel is in such a beautiful location and the building is gorgeous. The owners have let it run down. The room has a floor AC that doesn’t really work. Hot water during the day is questionable. I let it run almost 20 minutes to get barely warm water. The breakfast is a joke. We came down at 7:00 for breakfast. Cold eggs, no coffee or tea or even hot water. In fact the wait staff never showed up until 7:30 long after we left

Posizione invidiabile, nel cuore di Alba Iulia; camere spaziose così come il bagno; parcheggio gratuito di fronte all’albergo; personale gentile (da queste parti non è scontato). Questi i pro. Iniziamo con i contro: premetto che ho scelto una camera mansardata (che costa meno) e questo può aver influito sulla qualità dei servizi. Camera e bagno privi di prese (per caricare il cellulare occorre staccare la spina della luce del comodino, in bagno impossibile attaccare alcunché perché non ci sono prese), Wi-Fi inesistente, impossibilità di chiudere la finestra (sia perché rotta sia perché priva di tende: immaginate la luce del mattino!), condizionatore molto rumoroso, colazione un po’ carente per un cinque stelle. Insomma, nel complesso, soggiorno molto al di sotto delle aspettative. Spero siano difetti solo delle camere mansardate che - lo ribadisco - hanno un prezzo inferiore.

The hotel has a wonderful setting, in the citadel, with picturesque buildings surrounding it and Roman ruins next door. The hotel itself feels a little like a palace or grand residence: you enter through an arch into a large tranquil courtyard, there’s a pretty fountain and it’s easy to sit here and relax. The hotel entrance and reception also feels very grand, walk a little further and there is a billiard room. The bedrooms were fine, but not great, especially in very hot weather - there was air conditioning (stand-alone a/c unit in the bedrooms) but it was really noisy and it didn’t seem to cool the room much at all. The rooms were a good size and the bathrooms were nice, but the corridors and furniture in the bedrooms were dark, heavy, without offering any sense of luxury or any personal touches. The food and drinks from the restaurant were good and service was good too. The breakfast was really average, quite disappointing really. There were some strange cold meat items (breaded chicken pieces and mushrooms stuffed with meat), there was some bread and cake - all very so-so.
