Transalpina, Romania hotel rooms at the Independent

"This is a great place to stay, quiet, Connery and clean. They have a large backyard with hammocks, playground, grass, fireplace, even an orchard. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Quiet, clean, and personalized."

"No shampoo and soap and the room was hot with the temperature not adjustable. "

"Amazing stay! This was the best place we found on our trip. Beautiful country inn outside the city with nature and fresh air. Would love to go back. "

"This a very simple hotel, with the minimum facilities in the room. It is located very close to the main attraction of the town — the fortress, so if you stop over to see the citadel and its museums, this hotel is the best budget variant. "

"I really loved the fact that I could upgrade to a 4* apartment for a reasonable fee. The room was absolutely gorgeous, with a very large and comfortable bed. The bathroom and room were very clean; basically nothing beats a recently built property where you feel that things are new and very clean. I also loved the fact that it was very warm in the room, it helps to have excellent heating in the middle of winter when temperature hits negatives. I loved the lobby, too; very London vibe to be able to sit there and work in the morning. The breakfast is also very nice and I personally loved the mushrooms and the ikra / taramasalata they had. Probably one of the best I've had ever. The breakfast is a combo of English and Continental; the basics of scrambled eggs and bacon were good, but also some specific Romanian dips were there. I really liked the fact that the breakfast was included and I did not have to pay for it separately. The other thing I loved is that they have a restaurant next to the hotel and I could have dinner there; they have a very diverse menu, can't imagine that someone would not find something that would make them happy there: I decided to try the hamburger and it was delicious. The people at reception was super nice and accommodating; I needed extra batteries for my medical device and they provided them at no extra cost. Overall, a great stay for me, and I will definitely come back this summer for the garden and the spa that will be opened in a few months!"

"Very pleased. Breakfast offerings is spot on, room was comfortable with minor cosmetic problems. Would absolutely stay again. "

"Everything was perfect, unbelievable!!!!!!!"

"Staff very helpful and friendly. Bathroom shower clogged all the time and shower headsprayed by the seams making hard to shower. Staff came to unclog the shower but didn't help."

"The place had everything from a variety of tea bags to soft clean robes, even honey packets for your tea! This place gives everything you can imagine and the pool was definitely the best part! It has 2 amazing water slides and you can order drinks while in the pool. Definitely the best hotel ever!"
