A lovely, quirky little hotel, extremely clean, lovely continental breakfast with good coffee. Location is excellent and close to the centre of Brasov, parking is a nightmare to get a spot, so we made a reservation with the hotel for one of their spaces, a must do if you have a car! Staff were very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Chitic and we would stay here again. Excellent place.

Great location Spacious room Great location for town which is easily walkable from the hotel. Parking outside was easy as we had booked a parking space. Essential if arriving by car. Its very busy around the town to park. Super efficient check in with extremely helpful man when we arrived. Nothing too much trouble. Beds a bit harder than we are used to, but we got used to them. Breakfast was plentiful, but not to our taste. It depends on what you like to eat, so is subjective. The coffee wasnt great. Wish they had proper butter rather than a butter mix/margarine. Staff in the breakfast room were lovely though. Id definitely recommend the hotel as a great place to stay.

Great stay, gorgeous hotel!

Gorgeous atmosphere and stunning room- well worth carrying suitcases up flights of stairs in the beautiful building, it's all so full of character! The hotel is well located for food and as a jumping off point for travel tours to the castles. The breakfast offering was great and all staff were wonderful and accommodating. Would highly recommend this hotel!!

Loved this place, but we stayed in a room that had a worn mattress that the springs were coming through so my back ached for the next few days. They should probably check the mattresses!

Nice Spot

This hotel is historic and has cool details, and is located very close to the old town square. The bathroom was clean, the breakfast buffet was ample, the hotel is pet-friendly, which is a bonus for me, and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you forget to reserve parking at the hotel in advance, there's a Regina Maria parking garage 10 mins walk away. My only negative was that the bed wasn't the most plush...it was just a thin mattress. But I was exhausted and slept fine regardless.

Refurbished hotel

Had an email to say thecreception was closing at 8, so got a taxi from station just in time. Spacious ground floor room, and reasonable breakfast. Lots of steps, but I expect thats what you get when refurbishing an old building. Staff very helpful.

Casa Chitic is the perfect location for staying in Braşov. The homey feel, great service and tranquil surroundings made it an excellent choice for a vacation in the old city. Want to mention Catalin at the front desk for his help.

Okay stay, but left window open.

Overall it was good. There are no door signs for opting for no cleaning, so I informed front desk for no cleaning especially for second day only. And I had my stuff all over the room. However, cleaning lady came anyway. It would've been okay, but she left the window open! I was alarmed over this as it could've rained! I explicitly told front desk again to not touch the room, esp if they leave the window open, which was a concern for me.

Awful

Just awful. Broken A/C. Broken toilet. Bright spotlight in window. A single, small sliver of a pillow. No elevator. No communication re door code pre-arrival. It was hot in Romania, so I had filtered my hotel search for A/C. They had A/C, but it was broken the entire time. To add insult to injury, they illuminate the hotel at night. This may look good from the street but meant my one small window had a spotlight in it. Thus, I had to choose between trapping the heat by closing the window or enjoying the extreme light (and noise) from leaving it open. The toilet was also broken. The flush pressure was way too high. Even with the lid down and the seat closed, water from the just used toilet would splash on the floor with every flush. I knew the bed was small from the picture. I did not appreciate it would be adorned with the smallest, thinnest, saddest pillow I have encountered. Pillow, singular. Honestly, not a problem for me. Still, no elevator. I had to carry my bags up multiple flights of stairs. I know many travelers for whom this would be a problem. So noting it. And, truly, a minor inconvenience, especially relative to the above. But no front door. There is a gate that requires a code. AFAIK, they did not send me the code before I arrived. So you have to call a Romanian cell phone for someone to come let you in. I would have forgotten this small item but for all the nonsense that followed. Do not recommend.
