Dank der netten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber, fühlt man sich ab dem ersten Moment wie zu Hause. Sie standen immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Das Hotel selbst ist eine kleine ruhige Oase mitten in der Stadt. Die Atmosphäre ist entspannend und einladend, und es gibt viele gemütliche Ecken und einen schönen Garten um sich zurückzuziehen. Die Zimmer waren komfortabel und gepflegt. Es fühlte sich wirklich an, als wäre man bei Freunden zu Besuch. Insgesamt kann ich das wärmstens empfehlen für alle, die nach einer gemütlichen Unterkunft suchen, in der man sich wie zu Hause fühlt.

Super friendly and cosy hotel

We had an amazing stay at Villa - Hotel ESCALA. We stayed there for 8 days for a conference, and some days off. The owners were exceptionally friendly, and they really went out of their way to make us feel like home. We arrived in the middle of the night, but they stayed up for us and greeted us with a smile. The most genuinely friendly hosts we have ever met. Will for sure stay here if we come back, and can not recommend it enough. Breakfast was a small buffet, but very tasty, with different home made warm dishes every day. There is also a very cosy garden, ideal to relax or have a writing day if working. Thank you for having us! Hope to see you again!

The best stay I’ve had in a long time including travel in Europe and United States. I arrived nearly at midnight with my young son after 24hrs of air travel. The owner waited for us, took us to our room and made sure we had everything we needed. In the morning she made homemade breakfast for us at 11am when we finally woke up. I cannot day enough about this place. Exceptional in every way and exceedingly preferred to the large, impersonal chain hotels.

Very friendly and attentive hosts!

Our stay here was very good! It is only 10min walk from the train station which suited us as we arrived by train in the small hours of the morning. Our host was ready to receive us and check us in, making sure we had everything we needed! Both hosts were very friendly and attentive and gave excellent suggestions for sightseeing and eating out. Only small complaint was that it was a little expensive, particularly for breakfast when compared to other establishments in the area. It was however, in my opinion well worth the visit as it was a very nice place overall, especially the hosts!

Excellent overnight stay in Cluj

I only had a brief stay at the Villa-Hotel Escala, as I arrived late evening by train and had to fly out of Cluj early next morning, but the manager, Adrian, went out of his way to be helpful in every way. He recommended a restaurant that opened late, took my case to my room whilst I ate, gave me an early morning call at 4.40am and booked me a taxi to the airport. He was friendly and spoke excellent English.
