    The location of the hostel was ideal, being in the heart of the old town. We were able to explore the city easily and visit all the main attractions. Additionally, the hostel was located near the hill, which provided beautiful views of the surrounding area. The proximity to the city center ensured that we had easy access to restaurants, bars, and shops.

    The lack of cleaning products in the kitchen was a bit inconvenient as we had to purchase our own supplies.

    Great position of the location: The hostel was conveniently located within walking distance to the main attractions and bus stations, making it easy to explore the city. The owner was friendly and open to our needs, ensuring a pleasant stay.

    On arrival, we were informed that we would be moved to another hostel due to "electricity problems. The alternative hostel was more expensive, and we were provided with little information or assistance.

    We had a fantastic stay at this centrally located apartment. The open plan kitchen and living room were spacious and comfortable, and the separate bedroom provided privacy. The bathroom was large and had a powerful shower with hot water. The hosts, although not English-speaking, were warm and friendly. We were also impressed with the convenient parking options nearby. this apartment felt like a cozy home away from home.

    The hostel was conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. a great experience.

    Oh, just a few minor inconveniences like a chatty roommate who never shut up, cramped bathrooms, and a shower that required a contortionist to use. But hey, who needs comfort and peace and quiet anyway?

    I recently stayed at a lovely hotel in the heart of the city. The owner was incredibly friendly and even spoke Spanish, which was a nice surprise. I had the entire room to myself, and when more guests arrived, she rearranged accommodations to give us all more space. The bathroom was clean and had multiple toilets and showers. The hotel was conveniently located near the main square, as well as numerous bars and restaurants. Additionally, the price for the room was very reasonable.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    I had a great stay at a well-located hostel in Brasov. The 8-bed shared bedroom was comfortable and had convenient amenities like sockets and shelves. The showers were good and the WiFi worked well. Despite a few minor drawbacks, it was definitely worth the money. I would recommend this place for young travelers looking for a budget-friendly option in a picturesque location.

    During our stay, we were pleasantly surprised by the convenient downtown location of the hostel. Being close to the old town and the mountain made exploring Brasov a breeze. The spacious and clean bathroom was a definite plus, and the added bonus of free laundry services was much appreciated. Despite a few minor drawbacks with the kitchen being small and having only one plug in hot plate, we managed to make it work by buying cooked food elsewhere. the comfortable and affordable stay at Downtown Hostel made our trip enjoyable. I would recommend this hostel for its great location and comfortable amenities.

    Cherry on the top is the Alai Life Bar, a fully licensed bar where international travelers will get a unique chance to mingle with local millennials. I felt like a social butterfly flitting from one interesting conversation to another, sipping cocktails and soaking up the lively atmosphere. It was like being in the heart of a bustling market, with the exotic flavors of Brasov mixing with the friendly vibes of fellow travelers.

    No hand washing soaps in the bathroom.

    The apartment was well furnished, clean, and spacious, with two bathrooms, which was really useful. The owner was very helpful, despite the language barrier, and the apartment had a great location near the main attractions in the old part of the city. The owner was also waiting outside for us when we arrived, which was a nice touch.

    Finding the apartment was a bit difficult as it was tucked away in a small alley. We also had some issues with the shower, as it was hard to figure out how to use it and we had to call for assistance multiple times.
