The hotel itself is lovely with authentic style decorations and close proximity to the castle. Our room was comfortable and I was very happy that the front desk person fulfilled my request for a room with balcony and view of the castle. My complaint only has to do with the extremely poor service we received in the hotel restaurant. We had dinner there when we arrived and after travelling through many parts of Europe, including Romania, I have to say that I never encountered such poor quality service. There must be a major problem with management of this restaurant; the waiter who served us was inexperienced and inattentive, ignoring us most of the time, and when we complained, he (and the senior waiter/manager) had the nerve to argue with us. It seemed as though nobody wanted to work that evening--no soup served after 7 pm when every other restaurant in the area serves soup all night. We received 4 small cabbage rolls as our main dish and the desert tart was frozen. This restaurant certainly does not meet the standards of the hotel. I suggest that if you do stay at this hotel, eat somewhere else. The breakfast buffet was ok (not great, but ok), probably because we got to serve ourselves! After our dinner, we ended up going to the hotel restaurant across the street to eat more since we were still completely famished. The food was good and service was professional. Overall, the hotel room was great, but restaurant service incredibly disappointing.
