Hotels near Bran Castle, Bran

Lets start by addressing the hotel, all good, well maintained premises, a spa with a small indoor pool and 2 outdoor Jacuzzi. The all wood overall theme looks amazing, and it was interesting the amount of effort in maintaining the flower buckets visible on all balconies. The highlight for me was the breakfast though. I've yet to see the same level of breakfast yet, anywhere else I've been yet. You get spoiled with choices to the point where you don't know what to pick. You feel like having some nuts? Sure! Walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pistachio and 5 more i didn't even knew what they were. Fruits, like 10 types, fruit skewers with a chocolate fountain, doughnuts, honey comb, omelette station, an entire jambon Serrano leg you could cut from. Anyways you get the picture, I would say the entire menu consisted of at least 100 different items, from bakery to fruits and spices. Will definitely come again, maybe just for the challenge of tasting everything.

We stayed in room 514. On the positive side, the rooms were very big, the bed comfortable and it was quiet at night. Generally, the hotel would benefit from refurbishment as many areas looked old and tired. The air conditioning worked well and the mini bar was quiet, unlike those of other hotels in which I've stayed. However, there were numerous negative points which need to be addressed. The most annoying was the shower - too small, screen too short and leaked, water taking 8 minutes (sadly I did time it as it happened every evening) to warm up in the evening. What a waste of water and a direct contradiction to the sign encouraging guests to re-use their towels. The basin struggled to fill up as its plug didn't work properly, then the remaining water was slow to empty, whilst making loud gurgling noises. Remind your staff to clean under the rim of the toilet (see photo). The drawers in the bedroom needed attention as they struggled to open and close. Despite hanging the label on the door, indicating that we'd like the room serviced (mainly a need for fresh towels from mopping up the leak), this was not done and it took 3 visits to reception to get said clean towels (1 from the tour guide and 2 from myself). I was told that rooms were got ready for new guests before existing guests' rooms. Preferential treatment for new customers whilst the old ones don't matter! Clearly the hotel was understaffed and they ran out of time. On the third morning of our 4 night stay; breakfast proved to be a real ordeal. Only one coffee machine working for the whole hotel, lack of food due to so many guests and the supply not meeting the demand. It would help if guests did not help themselves to breakfast provisions and make their lunch rolls from them!! Having addressed my concerns to the manager, I did not feel respected and valued.

The hosts are incredibly nice and welcoming, the rooms and conference hall are very beautifully arranged and organised. The atmosphere is really pleasing, especially on the skybar, where you can relax and chat with your friends next to a big pool. An amazing experience, I highly recommend it. I will definitely come back, it id totally worth it.

We arrived at the hotel on vacation, the reception staff received and treated us quickly. The room is a reasonable size and clean, a clean and good shower. Large dining room with lots of coffee making stations. A large selection of dishes, everyone can find what suits them. There is an elevator to take luggage up and down. and the disabled. The indoor swimming pool is heated and limited to a two hour stay only. There are massage treatments and there is a small gym. Highly recommend the place and we will return to it again. The location of the hotel is excellent.
