Where to Stay
Find your perfect accommodation in Romania
The mountain guesthouse owner hands you fresh bread, homemade cheese, and plum brandy. Outside the window, the Carpathians rise into morning fog. Breakfast costs 15 lei—two euros.
This is Romania. Where you stay matters less for luxury, more for location and character. A Brașov apartment in a Saxon house. A Bucharest hotel in a 1920s building. A Maramureș wooden guesthouse where the host still speaks Hungarian.
Romanian accommodation is affordable compared to Western Europe. Budget stretch further here. Choose your base carefully—Transylvania's medieval towns, Bucharest's energy, or Carpathian mountain villages.
