"The room was clean and spacious, with lovely big windows to enjoy the beautiful village of Bran. The restaurant area was bright and welcoming, and breakfast was superb. A perfect resting stop for visiting Dracula's castle!"

"We had a wonderful stay! It was snowing and we had a long drive so we let them know check-in might be late. They said no problem and offered to have the kitchen prepare some dinner in advance as it would likely be closed when we arrived. We exchanged WhatsApp messages and dinner was reserved and ready for us when we arrived. Vlad greeted us and was an incredible host during our stay. He was friendly and helpful beyond the call of duty. I would stay here again and highly recommend it."

"Our suite had an amazing view of Bran Castle. It was very comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The location is excellent for visiting Bran Castle and Transylvania."

"The staff were very friendly and accommodated an earlier breakfast for us. Unfortunately the beds were not super comfortable and we were woken up by sounds throughout the night. We thought it was in a secluded location and not a major thoroughfare. The room was a nice size for a family of 4."

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Location was a little difficult to find but staff was a great help. Free parking, no AC, and no elevator so luggage must be carried up stairs. "

"Amazing. "

"We stayed in the Suite, which had a big bedroom for us and a smaller one for the kids. The architecture and decorations resemble Transylvanian roots with a modern touch. We loved the pressed artwork and wished we could buy one to take home :). The pillows, bedsheets and towels were high quality. And the shower head had all sorts of "massaging modes" that were amazing after a hike. Same attention to detail is showcased throughout the property. The spa had a fairly warm indoor swimming pool, with fountains on one side and two metal chairs with whirlpool on the other side. It also had a dry sauna, a wet sauna, and a salt room which was an interesting addition that you don't normally find in many retreats. The stay came with free breakfast which had a buffet of cold cuts as well as on-demand warm egg-based options. The restaurant is where they should probably invest a bit more. While the food looked beautiful, it was just ok and the staff wasn't super helpful (except for one wonderful woman, whose name we forgot but wanted to leave a huge thank you note). We waited for quite some time for the menus, then for the food, and finally for the check. While the chef was able to accommodate our daughter's allergies, the options were very limited, so beware in case you have allergies too. One warning is regarding the road to the resort - one lane dirt-road. Also, good to know, there is no fridge, no microwave, no iron, no AC."
