I think this was one of the nicest hostel I ever stayed at: Right in the center of the town, cozy and relaxing atmosphere and nice people. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was nice that the 8-bed-doorms are actually in a room of reasonable size so you have enough space for your stuff and enough air to breathe. But my favourite part was the awesome showers they have ;) We haven't really used the kitchen but it looked clean and equiped with the most important things.

Good location near the centre of the old part of town, reasonable walk from railway station. Nice big dorm with plenty of space which is definitely a change from the usual, everything super clean, specially the bathrooms. The staff are very efficient and friendly. Really I can't think of anything that's not good about this place.

Kitchen was great, beds were super comfy, bathrooms were straight out of the Hilton and everything was well put together. Close to downtown and short walk to train station.

Everything was perfect except they were under construction so only had one bathroom, but when that is fixed then I would say everything is perfect

Great hostel! Wonderful staff. Comfortable and very clean. No hestitation recommending. You are entering the "friendly zone". Thanks for providing a smoke free hostel but a location outside for smokers. Cheers.

The place is in the real central part of the city, three minutes by feet from the main square. There is a fantastic vineria at 30mt, a supermarket behind the corner, taxi, restourant, everything believe me. The staff was very kind and the "reception" (is a warm livingroom) is opened for the whole night. The place is clean and quite and you can find everything you need. Despite of the fact that the breakfast is not incuded, i've found milk and cereal available as a startup for the first day.

This is one of the coolest hostels I have ever been. The staff is PERFECT. The owners know what they are doing and they are ALWAYS with a smile in their face. You can ask them everything and they will explain you every detail. I just can't wait to go back to Cluj to be there. Awesome!

Awesome staff that makes you feel welcome and at home. You have to go outside to get to the kitchen but the hostel offers free flip flops for the short journey. The game room is a nice.place to hang out and meet others. The best part of staying here is the staff who will help you in any way possible.

All the doors were open, you could enter he hostel coming directly from the street. It was very clean. Good location It didn't have a great atmosphere but probably because we stayed there in low season. it great that you have a ping pong table and a guitar. The staff was really helpful and friendly but there was a girl from the staff talking too loud with her boyfriend during the night and she woke me up.

Owner Comment (Show)
Hi guys! The beauty salon in the courtyard leaves the front door of the building open during the day so their customers can come and go. No worries though, because the only room in the hostel that anyone could walk into is the Reception, where someone from our team is on duty 24/7 and cameras can monitor who comes inside. As far as the atmosphere goes, you're absolutely right. It's more fun when there are lots of people, so tell everybody you know to grab a friend and head over for a great stay at Transylvania Hostel! We're waiting for all of you!
