"We had a 3 day trip around Transilvania and this was the best I've stayed in.
The room was great, the bed was like it was made from a cloud :)
The host was so kind to let us bring the car up in the citadel to leave the bags - a great way to help a family with two small kids and lots of bags.
The service was perfect and went the extra mile to deliver wine and cake into our room when having a small celebration.
Will definitely come back next year!"
