The staff is AMAZING-always helpful and they have activities every day that you can attend or not-no pressure. We had a movie night and they made us popcorn. They also have an amazing espresso machine and game room as well as fully stocked kitchen. The location is IDEAL-right in the middle of two main piatas and surrounded by fun cafes and restaurants. GO HERE-you won't regret it.

Good location.We stayed in this hostel in the low season but we had even good fun because it's very cozy place where the common areas aren't very big then everyone knews one each other there.The hostel provides drinks at the same time that they let you bring them from the supermarket it's very good point from other hostels with pub that they don't allow you to bring alcohol from the supermarket.The Staff was very helpfull,Diane provide us all the information that we needed from Cluj,thanks again

The hostel was a nice, cozy respite from the autumn cold in Cluj. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the hostel's location was a perfect starting point from which to explore the town. The place was very clean, and it was easy to meet other travelers in the warm and inviting living room. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms, even the 8-bed ones, spacious. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice and clean hostel with lots of common space (big kitchen, games room etc.) . We all really liked it! Also the location was right in the center and perfect if you want to see most of the city in a couple of days.

The hostel is in a great position; it's in the heart of the city and close to the main clubs and bars. It's clean and the staff is helpful enough. I definitely recommend this place to all the visitors of the city!

The hostel is really great, but don´t forget your earplugs. Because it´s a old building with a courtyard it can be quite noisy.

We had a ball here, all the members of staff were fantastic and so helpful. The hostel was cosy, the beds were comfortable and overall it just had a great atmosphere. A big thank you to Mara and all the girls who we met, you made our stay in Cluj a great. One of the best hostels we've stayed in.

Great hostel! The staff are some of the best around, going out of their way to explain what's going on and putting on events like a pancake night! Also came out drinking with us and took us to the best places in Cluj. Hostel is nice and rooms are clean with decent security lockers.
