Hotel Boutique Casa Chitic -Hotel and Restaurant STR Johann Gott nr7

Very high standard for 3 star hotel. Room was decent size with nice shower, cable TV and internet, even kettle and little fridge in room. Cleaning was provided every day. Very nice breakfast, with good selection, all fresh food. Very nice breakfast area. Excellent location, hotel is just 3 minutes walking from main square of Brasov's old town, approximately 10 min walk from hotel is airport bus stop ( line A1)

We had a warm welcome and the first receptionist was very good and attentive. Reception closes at 7 pm. The hotel is very close to the market square, ideal for visiting the center. We had a suite with a double bed, single bed and a sofa pull-out bed. The latter was nice looking but the mattress was very thin and the sleeping experience not good. The suite has 2 floors. The lower floor has the bathroom and sofa bed and is illuminated by a skylight- it has shades operated by an electric motor but it didn’t always work so one night ended with the sun, because there is no staff in the hotel in the evening to help. Upstairs under the roof were beds for 3 but only small nightstands, on the floor. If you want to unpack, you first have to carry your suitcase up the spiral stairs and then crawl on the floor to use the nightstand. In the middle of the bed is a window that you cannot obscure. Bring sleeping masks. The safe is in a cupboard with hangers downstairs but so small that even my ipad didn’t fit. I was told it is for passports. Do not bring computers to this hotel. Breakfast is in an unaired cave, and it is a sad affair. The “fresh fruit” were bananas, apples and oranges. In August. In Romania. While the local markets were overflowing with seasonal fruit, no fruit salad sadly. Rolls were out at 9:30? Just eat toast. You need milk with your cereal? You have to ask for some and it comes in very small amounts. The next guest will have to ask, too. But you can profit from canned music by a band that makes saccharine cover versions of everything and manages to make all songs to seem the same. Cleaning ladies sit on the communal terrace and smoke and the smoke fills the staircase. In case you wanted to use the terrace- too bad.

PRO's: - in town center - very nice rooms - very friendly staff, Mihai went the extra mile to make our stay very pleasant - breakfast is served in maybe the best restaurant in Brasov, just next door, literally CON's: - the windows are not so sound proof as they should be

We (a family for 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12) stopped only one night in Brasov en route to Istanbul by train. We stayed in apartment #1. The room was perfect - two bedrooms, super stylish, cool bathroom and AMAZING shower!! Great location in the old town and the hotel staff were really helpful! Choosing a hotel in Brasov is hard - the online information is quite opaque - so let me help and just suggest you stay here :) One night in this lovely town / area isn’t quite enough but equally, we had a great time.
