Sâmbăta de Sus hotels

Pros: Kind of "Feng Shui" atmosphere, quiet and relaxing. The place to be and come back to.

Pros: The place is very quiet and green , The hosts are friendly its there fameily buisness Fine breakfast and possible to have dinner as well Good location for trekking in fegarash mountains 1.25 hour drive from Balea lake

Pros: Great hosts and food! At dinner time we stood by the fire while Catalin (the host) cooked some traditional meat and fries (vegetarian options available! :) ) which we really enjoyed! Either drinking some rachiu in the gazebo or sitting down by the fire, we had a great time getting to know the hosts and the other guests. The rooms are clean and comfy and the yard is huge with lots of sunny places to sit around in and do nothing. It’s quiet and you can only hear the nearby brook and birds singing, what more could you want?

Pros: Wonderful location and lovely hosts - so friendly and just the best views ever

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything exceeded our expectations: The location, the yard, the river in the back of the garden, those old trees and our hosts! We trully recommend anyone to visit Casa Bunicului! We’ll definitelly come back!

Pros: Woo..everything was perfect! If you are going to Fagaras mountains just go here! First of all thanks, the hosts are nice friendly we had a lovely welcome. The garden is super nice equiped, the dinner and the breakfast are so good! Tasty and really big for the price! We even stayed a thrid night because we had an amazing time in Casa Bunicului!

Cons: Nothing!!!

Pros: Great Place, Great hosts

Pros: Chill atmosphere

Pros: The perfect place for gaining back your peace of mind! Every detail mirrors the owners' passion for nature, wildlife and wellbeing, from the property amenities designed to fit into the landscape without disturbing the peaceful nature, to the quality of the locally sourced food served at breakfast, the original al-fresco preparations for the dinner, and to the spotless cleanliness of the whole place. We loved the purity of the peaceful landscape, the fresh air, the river flowing in the back of the yard, but also the exceptional human quality of the family that owns and runs the place, their life stories and their hard work to make everything perfect.

Pros: Near hiking trails, quiet and beautiful guesthouse, very nice owner from whom we discovered a lot about Romania. He even invited us to try the sauna he is in the process of building. We had a wonderful time and would love to return.

Cons: The property itself is very nice but we were slightly disappointed dinner wasn’t offered every night, which is understandable because of the low season. We had dinner there one night and it was amazing! Otherwise everything was great :)

Pros: Really confortable and classy accommodation Perfect location, close to the hiking track to Valea Sambetei cabin - spacious parking and door to door to a restaurant Daniela is a great host, really friendly and she made us feel like home, offered touristic recommendations sand prepared a delicious omlette Looking forward to coming back soon!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Flexible, correct host, comfortable bad, everything fine :)

Pros: Good location, very friendly staff

Pros: The property is located in a really beautiful and peaceful area, very close to the monastery. It looks as if it were an old building that was renovated recently, but one will be very surprised to find out that it is actually completely new! The architecture blends in perfectly with the surrounding area. The interiors are nicely decorated, with a good sense of style. We had a family room/apartment that was very generous in terms of space and was also very comfortable. Breakfast (included in the price) was simple and well balanced. Coffee was really good! Great value for money. Will definitely return for a longer period of time.

Cons: Can't say that there was something I didn't like...

Pros: The view Good food Very very quiet place Cleanliness

Cons: The road is a bit bumpy, but once you get there, everything is fine.

Pros: The owners are very kind people. We really loved staying there, enjoying the good quality breakfast (which included locally sourced eggs and cheese) and visiting Sambata de Sus Monastery. We would have liked to stay more.

Pros: Great and quiet location, close to the highest peak of Moldoveanu, beautiful views of the mountains from the room (on the 2nd floor). Very friendly owners who gave us good advice about the hiking tour to Moldoveanu and prepared for us excellent "take away breakfast" to the mountains. We also appreciated that guests might have a dinner in the guesthouse too (menu also includes traditional Romanian dishes). Breakfast was very delicious including omellets, bacon, cheese, salami, etc. We were very happy to have chosen this accommodation and might come back if travelling to this location again.

Pros: The host does an amazing job in making you feel welcomed and relaxed. The traditional romanian food is simply amazing. Spacious, clean rooms!

Pros: It was really good!

Pros: The breakfast was good.

Cons: The bed was too hard.

Pros: very clean, excellent food, plenty of things to do in the area - Monastery, Mountains to trek, Springs, 'Valtoarea' from Lisa, a small ski slope etc

Pros: The room view, the breakfast and the area.

Pros: Wonderful hosts! Beautiful scenery all around the property.

Pros: Very quiet and simple

Cons: Not easy to find but very nice views

Pros: Big house almost new. Nice view good facilities

Cons: Wifi can be slow sometime

Pros: I liked the most the balance between the view from the balcony and the premises you can visit. It also crossed my mind the climbing in Fagaras mountain, when we were young.

Cons: The last few hundred meters of the road are not good.

Pros: Surroundings, view from the balcony

Pros: I was impressed by the friendly atmosphere and the "feel like home" stay.

Cons: No shops nearby - you definitely need a car to travel for shopping.

Pros: One of the best accomodations we ever had! Mountains from the balcony, nice, cosy and extremely clean room and the kindest host. She was super friendly, helpful and even though meal wasn't in the price, she served fresh coffee every morning. We were devastated that we had to leave.

Pros: Authentic house build in traditional transylvanian manner. Cheap price. All what you need to spend a night and continue your trip. We stay for the second time there, and consider it as a good alternative option to hotels

Cons: Music in inner yard was a bit loud, as our room was in front of summer terrace, but after we asked, guys made volume lower. So it was finally ok. A bit hot in the room as there was no air conditioning, but not crtitical.

Pros: The owners are nice and welcoming people, the village is little and quiet. Rooms offered are nice and clean while offering all the needs (no need for A/C due to the location of the village.

Cons: Doors can be a little troublesome. Other than that nothing to complain about.

Pros: A very nice transylvanian old house turned into a lovely guesthouse. The rooms are simple, but offer all the confort you need, and the yard and living rooms are just lovely. Plus a welcoming, warm host. For longer stays, you can park your car inside the yard and nearby there is a mini-marked. You have a full feature kitchen at your disposal and the Fagaras mountains at your doorstep. Happy exploring!

Pros: Friendly host, dragus is a nice authentic village submontan. There is a lot of stuff for kids (table tennis f.e.)...

Pros: Relaxed and authentic atmosphere, very hospitable, friendly and accommodating hosts, who made sure we had everything we needed! We loved the garden - chock-full of beautiful flowers. The children were so happy to see the chickens and the rabbits, and they enjoyed playing in the outdoors veranda! They made good use of the soft swing seats and play equipment. We stayed in the room with a private bathroom, which was much appreciated. The common areas, both the outdoors veranda and the living room in the main body of the house, are decorated with lovely examples of folk art and crafts, and old photographs. Each evening, we were standing outside the gate to watch the cattle herd returning from pasture: the cows and the buffalos walking placidly down the road were a majestic sight. We bought milk from the farm nearby (it needs to be boiled as it's milked that very day, fresh from the cows) - super lovely and thick! Our hosts also had a nice cellar well furnished with various wines, which are available to buy. We chose a bottle of Fetească Neagră - it was delicious. Also a delight was the Morello cherries liqueur, which is homemade by the hosts, and is available to buy as well, in cute bottles. (Both the liqueur and the wine cost about £3 each.) I have had my fair share of this Romanian specialty in my life, and I can wholeheartedly say this was one of the best I've ever tasted. The village has a couple of shops for groceries, and an excellent bakery. For me personally, one of the greatest treats of our stay was being able to raise my eyes at any time and see the beautiful mountains in the background. Such a view is truly priceless.

Pros: The location is very is easy to find, it is a very nice location with a garden and a big living room, a well equipped kitchen. The owner is very friendly. Perfect location for relaxing.

Pros: + friendly, polite hosts - they welcome us later in the night + nice garden, ideal for a barbecue or just enjoying the nice Fagaras mountains view + excellent value for money ratio

Cons: - larger towels and shower gel would be helpful

Pros: We loved everything!! This was the best place we stayed in Romania and we stayed in 10 places! It was really heartwarming to be there, such a beaufiful stay. The owners family is very friendly and helpful and the house and the garden are very very beautiful. You can see closely how locals live in Romania. There was very good wifi and the room was comfortable. We would recommend this place to everyone. You won't regret staying there!

Cons: Everything was perfect.

Pros: The owners, the view, the breakfast, the room etc Everything was great!

Cons: The 500 m stone road to Casa Muntelui

Pros: Peaceful place, beautiful view, very delicious homemade food, very friendly people. The location is a good starting point for hiking in the mountains.

Pros: The hosts are very hospitable. Meals are very tasty, delicious, prepared from fresh ingredients. Nice mounting view from the room.

Cons: Would be nice to have a small wardrobe in the room.

Pros: Friendly friendly hosts. Very flexible. The host speaks English well and serves his guests. Excellent cuisine, delicious dinners and dessert. Perfect location great view of the mountains from the terrace. The facility is located in a quiet and peaceful place. You can relax and unwind. You can go to the nearby monastery for a walk. Good location to visit Brasov, Sibiu or the Transfagarasan route. It made the children much more comfortable: a playground and a swimming pool. I am looking for a rest in Romania!

Cons: Poor soundproofing of the building walls. Such a specificity of a building made of wood that was very atmospheric. Fortunately, guests in the guesthouse were calm and cultural and it was not bothersome. Too hard sleeping pillows. Everything else was great!

Pros: Wonderfull view, host was great, all clean, plenty pf space in the room. Direct acces in each room with beautifull terrace is a great advantage. Breakfast was simple but good quality. You may serve dinner as well when announcing upfront.

Cons: Payment method is a bit outdated.

You can literarely see the mountains from the bed. We had a delicious breakfast made of local ingredients. I really recommend the place.

Cons: The walls are thin, so i am afraid our neighbours could hear us talking, but they did not complain. :) Just a recommendation:Would be good to have some Basic kitchen equipment free to use.

Pros: Really excellent!

Pros: Fantastic host's, fantastic location

Pros: I liked very much the design of the room (all-wood). The place is very quiet and kept very clean. Very nice and friendly owners. Good breakfast.

Cons: This is mainly related to the location, it is 1-2km away from the forest. Internet connection was very poor.

Pros: Very nice destination, probably the best view at the mountains, nice log homes chalet, great owners, great breakfast, awsome coffee.

Cons: Small TV, no wardrobe.

Pros: I liked everything.. Facilities were great including cable tv, fridge, option for breakfast in the morning, parking, rooms with balcony, comfortable mattress.

Cons: Nothing not to like

Pros: To be honest the only thing that could be underline in the section "what was nice" is the location of the pension. Nothing else is worth to be mention here.

Cons: The attitude of the owner points to the fact that she is a beginner in this industry or she is not equipped with the necessary skills to run such a business. I do admit that I could recognize the efforts invested in making the facility "kids friendly" but the target is by far not achieved. The dog running loose around and barking to the new comers it definitely not something you want to see first on your arrival (especial when your toddler is under 3 and squeezing your hand out of fear). Towel and bedding laying around (to dry) is not best welcome message I could imagine. When breakfast is offered usually also a sort of schedule is available (like breakfast is served from 07:00 to 10:00). It is rude to ask for a fix hour (mind the attitude) There are a couple of more topics that could be underlined here but I think you got my point.

Pros: The Royal Garden pension has a nice garden and combines the comfort of the rooms with outdoor facilities both for children and adults. The breakfast is very tasty. The pension is perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Cons: The pension in 2 km far from nearest restaurant so you have to be prepared for self catering (except breakfast).

Pros: Nice comfortable rooms

Cons: Approachable only via unpaved roads

Pros: Location very nice. Rooms very clean and nice balcony. Nice garden with fire place and grill. Very quiet and beautiful view at mountains.

Cons: Not very warm welcome when we arrived. We had the idea they forgot us. They showed us the room, but no instructions, no welcome, hello how are you. Not even if we would like aomething to drink. Very strange feeling. When we wanted to pay we asked for a receipt because we couldnt pay with card, so only cash. We waited long time, and they told it was difficult to make receipt because owner was not there. We insisted to get a receipt and finally we have got one.

Pros: Great quite location. Very nice staff. Excellent for a short vacation (Very good Wi-Fi). Near is a Aventura Park. For sure we will come back and will recomend to friends.

Cons: none

Pros: Clean , friendly staff, quiet

Pros: In a very quiet place only 500 meters from a beautiful Romanian forest : birch trees !

Pros: The rooms were very nice and clean and the staff very friendly and helpfull. The garden is huge and very pleasant looking. You can also have plenty of places to relax in the garden, such as hammocks, sunbeds and tables. Very great choice!

Pros: Great staff, great view, great stay

Cons: -

Pros: The place is new and very clean, set in a beautiful location. The breakfast is very good, and the kitchen staff was nice and helpful.

Cons: The only downside is the dirt road you have to go on to get to the boarding house. Also, the description says that it has a restaurant - the reality is that it's mostly closed. We would have liked to know that before arriving there at dinner time. Hint: you can go to Albota trout farm since it's close, and the food there is exceptional.

Pros: The big courtyard and the view. Minimarket nearby. Big kitchen.

Cons: We stayed at the top floor and the ceiling was not horizontal in the bathroom. It was quite challenging to pee for men, and I am not a tall person. There were no nets on the windows and mosquitos could get in in the evening ( and one day it was really hot and we had to leave them open) There are no restaurants nearby, you have to drive 10km. Wifi signal was very low in our room (unusable )

Cons: It was very noisy late very late into the evening / night. There was a party going on next door and it was very loud.

Pros: The Personal is very Kind.

Cons: The bed was broken and the toilette was stinking

Pros: Location, staff,

Pros: Leaving the property was the best decision evar.

Cons: I had to call the owners mobile phone in order to check-in. A bad smell coming from the bathroom, no hot water for the check-in day and next day. We booked two nigths and left after the first one.

Pros: Nice and helpful staff

Cons: Cleanliness, lack of service, room not cleaned or towels changed for 5 days.

Pros: The location, the staff, the outside area were great; also big parking

Cons: The AC in the room did not work, the bathroom had a horrible smell, there was music untill 3 am outside ( i believe some rude guests), the pool was dirty and the road to the accomodation was really bumpy

Pros: I love so much the region, the Monastery in and the mountains.

Cons: In the bathroom was smelling from the WC sistem, imposibile to use. Outside of the building was quite but inside, in the room, you can hear everything from all the building.

Pros: The property is new so it’s very clean, the view is fantastic.

Cons: The breakfast wasn’t much of a breakfast. We left very hungry.

Pros: Really nice place with a wonderful view. I recommend this place if you love nature. Breakfast included, pool too and you can do some sightseeing or find the adventure park, or monasteries located near by.

Cons: The rooms could be decorated just a touch more cozy (to feel like a home), but this is just a personal preference.
