Vila Katharina

It felt like stepping into a fairy tale... the room was big and stunnig with a lovely crystal mirror and chandeliers. Anna was super helpful with my big bag up the stairs. Breakfast is extra special - the duck is a must have. I cannot recommend Vila Katharina highly enough. Absolutely majical!

We stayed for two nights and and asked to have our breakfast at 7.30 rather than their usual start time of 8 as we had a tour and train to catch.They kindly accommodated us. The claw footed bath was a welcome feature as well as a fully featured shower system. Brasov is delightful town and the hotel is within easy walking distance to the central square, Black Church and restaurants.

We stayed here for 4 nights and everything was very good. We had booked a deluxe king suite and it was very spacious with a separate living area. The one great thing which we hadn’t found on the 2 weeks which we had already spent travelling in Romania was tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Despite being only a few minutes walk from the main square it was very quiet. They also have some reserved parking spaces outside the front of the hotel which was very convenient as parking would be a nightmare. The only downside was you had to order your breakfast the night before - we generally don’t know what we want until the morning.

The Vila Katharina is in a great location right near the Old Town. It was easy to walk everywhere I wanted to go. The front desk staff was very friendly and the room was nice. The chocolates in the room were a nice touch. With only 3 rooms, it's a very intimate experience. My room (Onyx) was huge. With that said, a couple of quirks. First off, the shower in the room was very strange. It was a stand alone unit, almost like a box, a bright red unit & glass on all sides. My room was the art deco room and it didn't match the style at all. Plus it was small and difficult to use. Breakfast was nice. I ordered the Transylvania breakfast, which was hearty - but be ready for a LOT of meat & cheese :) I would have liked more coffee too, I was offered just one cup but could have had about 10. I also found the price to be on the high end for what was offered. I'm currently staying at a very cute place in Sibiu, also in a great location, with a fun bar area and breakfast included - easily half the cost of what I paid in Brasov. Overall, I would recommend Vila Katharina.

What an amazing stay we had. The rooms were beautiful and right near all the great restaurants and nightlife of Brasov. The staff was warm and treated us so well. I would highly recommend this wonderful place to everyone and will come back soon.

We spent three nights at Vila Katharina in September. Very nice hotel. Centrally located for walking in the city center. Our room had a king bed and was both spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was made to order from selections made the day before -- nice choice of omelets / continental breakfast options. Not to be underestimated is a parking spot in front of the hotel. You pay for parking, however, this is a convenience that should not be under-estimated. Ana the manager of the hotel provided excellent service. Hotel arranged for laundry service during our stay. Overall an excellent experience.
