Retro Youth Hostel is a niche hostel in the city centre of Cluj, Romania. Reasonable prices for nice and comfortable rooms. The hostel with its two kitchens is clean, but some showers are a bit small. The sandwiches for breakfast don't fit for breakfast (but that might be my personal taste) , but there are also cornflakes and milk, coffee... More

I stayed in Cluj for one night and I made the reservation in the day of the arrival by e-mail. The contact person was more than nice and prompt, so by the time I arrived at the hostel everything was prepared. You get free wifi, towels, possibilities to travel around the town and the area, the staff is always nice... More

This place is really noisy, because the street it is on, while quiet during the day, because "party central" for students at night, and they scream and yell until very late at night. So sleeping was almost impossible. The rooms are tiny. The staff, however, is excellent. They are students, and are really friendly, and very helpful.

A good base for exploring the lovely Cluj. The staff are there the whole time to check you in, though did seem distracted at times, taking a while to stop chatting and deal with your request. The rooms are nice, but try to avoid going in the 8-bed dorm directly above the kitchen, as it's noisy when people are downstairs... More

I was a little reluctant at first to enter Romania as an US citizen. This was my first stop, and I promptly found this place and fell in love. The hostel is set behind one of the main streets, centrally located within stumbling distance of all of the clubs, restaurants and a number of shops. 2km away from the train... More
