This is an old hotel, but the reception si modern and the rooms are simple but nice and clean with great views from both of the hotel sides. I recomend you the rooms from the upler floors because in the week-ends you might hear noise from the club located at the base of the hotel or from some party that's... More

I stayed for 5 nights for a meeting in the hotel. Quite spacey areas, but the room where good and clean. A little bit worn, but that did not bother me at all. Breakfast was continental, lunch and dinner was every time 3-course menu. No special food, but the atmosphere was fun and you could have a magnificent view over... More

Hardly a three-star hotel. Very dirty. Almost impossible to get any help from the front desk. Dark hallways and facilities because no lights are on. The bathroom smelled like septic. The only bright spot was the restaurant staff. They were helpful and friendly but looked so sad. The views are nice but it goes to waste because the hotel is... More

I cheked-in at this hotel for the first time, 9 years ago. At that time, it was a 5 stars hotel. After a few years became a 4 stars hotel, and in the end a 3 stars hotel, owned by RA-APPS (by the state). Last time, I cheked-in last autumn, for a week-end. The pool was dirty, the lockers for...

My wife and I spent 2 nights in this lovely hotel in Sinaia, one of the most beautiful resorts in the Romanian Carpathian mountains, where I used to go skiing as a child and young man and where on this occasion we were guests at a superb wedding. The wedding reception took place in one of the several restaurants within... More

A collegue and I stayed there for 4 weeks on business. After a long flight to Bucharest and road trip to Sinaia the hotel staff did not speak English. The rooms were comfortable but need a touch up because of stained carpets and scatches on the walls etc. The usual coffee and tea in your room will cost you which... More

Stayed for one weekend in February with may family. It' s obvious that this hotel had better times years ago. After a quick tour Romanian tourist can recognize "the hand" of the state ownership - this is the reason why a beautiful hotel is degrading day by day. Room are Ok, more maintenance will help. The view is great. Pool... More
