Hostel Cornel

Nice owners

Reviewed By Mbrigham2

I stayed here for 2 nights whilst travelling Romania. The owners are so nice, the rooms are relatively clean and the bar downstairs is fantastic. There were a few creepy men around that may make some girls feel uncomfortable, but not at the hostels or owners fault. I would visit again for sure.

Freeborn Hostel

A cozy and friendly hostel in the city center of Timisoara, where you can feel at home and among friends. Events and daily surprises, like boxing day on Nintendo Wii, will make your stay a memorable one! Fully equipped kitchen, offering free tea and coffee, a lounge area where you can watch a movie on demand, or play a game on Nintendo Wii, fast Wi-Fi, and helpful and a friendly staff who will go beyond the line of duty to help you with everything you require!

Awesome 1-month long stay in this hostel

Reviewed By Kenneth C

Stayed in this hostel for 1 month with no complaints. The staff was always very helpful and super friendly. During my stay, both the owner Raul, as well as his assistant Hector, were kind enough to let me know of any places of interest and events that were happening in the area. What I also really appreciate is the fact that they were very understanding of the fact that the plane that I was arriving at Timisoara with was landing in the very early morning hours and Hector was there to check me in at 2 a.m. Also, if you manage to beat Raul in either chess, ping pong or Mario Kart, you'll get a free beer (which I didn't manage to do, unfortunately). Overall, a great experience and great staff. Will be visiting again in the future and hopefully win a game this time. Best regards from Malta.

One of the coolest hostels on the planet!

Reviewed By angelosN99XT

It's a small hostel with an amazing atmosphere. The house has a fairy taile like feel. It's an old villa that's very new and clean inside. There is very nice art decoration everywhere. The details are impressive. There's free Wifi, a clean bathroom and a great kitchen. It also has a garden where it's fun to relax. All in all one of the best hostels I've stayed in. City Center is about 10 mins of walking.

Hostel Costel

This 90 year old villa has been completely renovated by us and transformed into the warm and cosy Hostel Costel. There are 3 shared bedrooms and one private room besides various common areas (living, chill-lounge, garden, etc.). Situated on the riverbanks our location is close to the historic city-center, campus area and all the party places. If you are just passing by or staying longer this is the best place to start your trip through Timisoara/Romania!

Best place to spend some time in Timișoara

Reviewed By dragosvoicu2002

I love this place. Me and my girlfriend were welcomed by Spiri and we got very fast comfortable. We met the volunteers which are very open and friendly. We could spend all of our stay in the big garden and the perfect-looking kitchen.

Brilliant funky hostel

Reviewed By JakeandKatie

Location: It's a couple of kms to the city centre, although it's very well connected with trams and busses. There's a huge supermarket 5 minutes away Room: I stayed in a private room. The bed was perfect and the room was very spacious. However the room doesn't have its own private bathroom. It's down the hall Staff: Very welcoming staff with perfect English. They were able to help me plan my transport and give me directions Kitchen: one of the most well-equips kitchen I've even been to in a hostel. Includes a oven, toaster and microwave too All and all, this hostel is funky for its colourful decor, artwork and funny memes scattered throughout the rooms. I would recommend this hostel to anybody and everybody! Katie & Jake @untold_wanderlust1 - insta

Hostel Paltinis

My Transylvanian dream.

Reviewed By macoveilucia14

Big room, very clean, nice people - everybody is very kind - family business I think. Everything you want you can find in this hostel. It is not central but it is worth a walk to the center and the pedestrian alley. Hopefully we will be back soon.

Cabana Cascada

A very nice lodge in the Retezat Mountains

Reviewed By Moldovan C

We stayed for 1 night on our way into a 5 day hiking tour of the Retezat Mountains. The lodge itself has basic facilities but it`s location, the great views, the kid`s mini playground in the back and the nice terrace in front make it a good choice for those seeking a good starting point for some hiking trips in the Retezat area. The menu is somehow limited and the cooking skills are basic at most but the staff is really friendly and the overall atmosphere is great. Hot showers are provided full-time. All in all we had a great time and we shall camp here again during our future trip to the Retezat Mountains.
