The best accommodations Romania

Budget & Tips

Youth hostels, increasingly common in cities, are the most economical option. Count €10 to €20 for a bed in a dormitory. Many also offer double rooms at attractive prices. Another solution for small budgets: mountain refuges(cabană) and campsites, most of which offer cabins(căsuțe) for 2 people, often basic.
In the countryside, the countless guesthouses often offer very good value for money. Options range from a simple room in a traditional rural house to a comfortable guesthouse with swimming pool. The average price for a double room is between €30 and €50, a little less for the more rustic guesthouses and a little more for the more comfortable ones. We advise you to opt for half-board: meals are often delicious and inexpensive. In tourist areas, you'll be offered bed and breakfast(cameră de închiriat): often less expensive, but of more uncertain quality. Don't hesitate to visit and agree on the price before making a deal.
In small towns, mid-range hotels are similar in price to guesthouses. In larger towns, you can expect to pay between €60 and €100 for charming establishments, and over €100 for luxury hotels. On the coast, accommodation prices soar in July and August, often doubling or even tripling.

To be booked

Pensions and hotels are very busy in summer in some areas, particularly along the Black Sea coast and in the Prahova valley: it's best to plan ahead. Accommodation can also be hard to come by in Cluj, especially during major festivals, and in Bucharest, especially in the cheaper range of establishments.

Easter and New Year's Eve are two other busy periods for accommodation.

For food lovers

Breakfast is usually included in the price. It's a mix of sweet and savory, often with tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, eggs, cold meats... In rural guesthouses, it's often excellent: from jam to bread, eggs and butter... everything is homemade, straight from the farm.
