Grand Hotel Napoca Reviews

Convenient and clean

酒店很豪華，早餐也很好

We went there for a sport competition and maybe the restaurant staff was not very pleased with that, and maybe this is why they looked annoyed and lacking good mood. They left me with the impression they were overwhelmed by the situation. The food was tasty however.

To start, I have to say, everything was completely fine during my stay. However, I can only rate this hotel 4 stars and not 5 because I feel it would be unfair to other 4-star hotels that offer way better services. Rooms are very comfortable and cozy, offering nice views. The location is great and you can find plenty of parking spaces. I feel the hotel is lacking when it comes to services. The breakfast is quite basic, with not many choices to choose from. The staff is very rigid, they don’t smile at all. I’m not saying they should be obliged to smile, but you can easily feel how cold they are when it comes to servicing you. Overall, it’s a good hotel, but I’m sure there’s way better options for this price.

I stayed at the Grand Hotel Napoca for 3 days as part of a larger delegation that arranged our accommodation there. Despite being an old hotel, it has been well renovated; the lobby, hall, restaurant, and bar all look new. The room was spacious, partially renovated, but comfortable and clean. The biggest issue was the level of service provided by the hotel staff. Upon entering the hotel, you are not greeted at reception, and the breakfast in the restaurant is very basic. Out of 4 waitstaff, only one young waitress made an effort to be attentive. The other old-school waiters do not speak English and communicate through gestures, which is quite uncomfortable. They do not but rather maintain the buffet and clean tables after guests finish. Nobody tries to bring you coffee or assist you when you ask for something. For example, when I requested hot water for my muesli, the waiter pointed to a thermos that had been sitting there for 2 hours, and the water was no longer hot. When I mentioned that to the waiter, he directed me to the coffee machine to wait in line and pour hot water myself. There is no option to have an omelet eggs made to order; breakfast choices are quite limited, with only bananas apples available. The coffee from the machine tastes terrible, so after breakfast, we decided to sit in the hotel lobby and order coffee from the bar. I received an Americano smaller than the cappuccino my husband was drinking and asked bartender to pour it into a larger cup with a bit more water because I prefer my Americano more diluted. He reacted aggressively, gave me a plastic takeaway cup to pour it myself, did not respond when I thanked him, and then started banging metal dishes loudly and expressing anger about my request. Then, a supervisor by speaking Romanian, and the supervisor kept saying calm down, calm down. Finally, a problem arose with the air conditioning, which stopped working on the last day before our departure. It even felt like the AC was heating the room to 30 degrees! We asked the housekeeper, who said another room had a malfunction, and since the ACs are connected, the entire horizontal line was not functioning. I would not stay at this hotel if it were not booked organized. The staff need serious training because, unfortunately, all the good and comfortable aspects (such as free and very convenient parking in front) are overshadowed by the subpar service of the employees who do not seem happy to serve guests.

Good location, near the central park, the stadium and the arena. The room was spacious, refurbished, but you can tell that it is an old hotel. It was clean and confortable. The hotel has parking in front, no reservation needed. I do not recommend the restaurant or the breakfast. Not many options and not very tasty ones. But the lobby bar has good coffee selection.

About a 10 minute walk from old town. Nothing around the hotel in terms of restaurants or stores but convenient to old town. Good hotel if you are attending a meeting in the hotel. Breakfast buffet is average. International cuisine for service and restaurant. Rooms are spacious.

The congress had 700+ participants, for which this hotel was excellent. Nicely located just outside the city centre, with a walk through the central park. Breakfast "standard OK" but with a good omelet (not the usual uneatable stuff). Sleeping quality good. Some details typical for a slightly "dated" "grand hotel".

My wife and I stayed twice at this hotel , August 2022 and August 2023 (Traveled from UAE). Perfect location next to Somesh River and across street from the Central Park, we stayed in a spacious suite on the 8th floor with a living area and second bathroom overlooking a very nice view of the Somesh River and the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca. Breakfast was very good with a lot of varieties of food for every taste. Staff was friendly, kind and eager to please. We especially came to Cluj for a wedding which we attended on the second day of our arrival, party room of the hotel is amazing, everything was perfectly organized, food was very good and delicious . For sure we will come back to Cluj and stay at this hotel.

Soviet hotel. I was there long long time ago but nothing is changed. Even if is cheap hotel should be for free. Breakfast is orrible second day I didn t take it. Better to pay 20 euro extra and stay better. At check in no information given about breakfast wifi lift location I mean very simple welcome topics

A really nice hotel! I recommend it 100%! Very clean, nice, good services!! I really liked it, they serve you good food, they have nice minibar, and also nice design. I ll totally go there sometimes again!
