Gorgeous atmosphere and stunning room- well worth carrying suitcases up flights of stairs in the beautiful building, it's all so full of character!
The hotel is well located for food and as a jumping off point for travel tours to the castles. The breakfast offering was great and all staff were wonderful and accommodating. Would highly recommend this hotel!!

Loved this place, but we stayed in a room that had a worn mattress that the springs were coming through so my back ached for the next few days. They should probably check the mattresses!

Casa Chitic is the perfect location for staying in Braşov. The homey feel, great service and tranquil surroundings made it an excellent choice for a vacation in the old city.
Want to mention Catalin at the front desk for his help.

This hotel is historic and has cool details, and is located very close to the old town square. The bathroom was clean, the breakfast buffet was ample, the hotel is pet-friendly, which is a bonus for me, and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you forget to reserve parking at the hotel in advance, there's a Regina Maria parking garage 10 mins walk away. My only negative was that the bed wasn't the most plush...it was just a thin mattress. But I was exhausted and slept fine regardless.

Had an email to say thecreception was closing at 8, so got a taxi from station just in time. Spacious ground floor room, and reasonable breakfast. Lots of steps, but I expect thats what you get when refurbishing an old building. Staff very helpful.

Nice, clean hotel close to most everything. Stairs only if you’re have lots of luggage. The mattress was a bit stiff. Breakfast was OK, nothing great. Get coffee elsewhere.

We had a great stay at this hotel in March. Lorand was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with variety. Super close to Council Square with lots of restaurants and shops.
Took a star off because (1) no elevator if you have heavy luggage, staff will help but still; (2) no usb ports so be sure to bring universal adapters; (3) shower water is luke warm in the afternoon. All manageable but not “perfect”. Room 11 is the best with a view of the Braşov sign.

This is a beautiful place to stay at - even as a fully grown male I'd have to describe it as cute. As you walk down the strada you could be fooled into thinking you booked a room in the wrong area, but behind the secured gate you'll find a immaculately refurbished series of self-contained rooms that are spacious, clean, modern and quiet. It is a very short stroll to an labyrinth of eateries and retail stores.

Pros: location - minutes walk from the main square where there are many restaurants and cafes. Good price for the room breakfast. Helpful receptionist. Secure building.
Cons: room could be a little cleaner. The room by the reception could be noisy.
Overall for the price, it is a good place to stay
