Rasnov Fortress Hotels in Bran, Romania

The service, cleanliness, location and restaurant food could not be beaten. This is an exceptional hotel . The views take your breath away , so serene even looking towards Bran Castle and the mountains have changing cloud formations. From here we had day trips to Peles Castle, Rasnov fortress, Brasov and A three minute drive to Bran Castle. The menu offered Romanian food with fresh local produce. Everything was wonderful and we were sad to need to continue on our travels.

Muntele Rece is not located in the town of Bran!, that through me off when trying to locate it. However, it is only a kilometer away from the town limits.No problem walking into town, which has several excellent restaurants! Located on a hill across the valley from Castle Bran, with a nice view of the castle from the hotel. Very well appointed, clean, modern and attractive. The breakfast was excellent, one of the best I've had in Europe. I enjoyed my visit very much. Highly recommended.

I chose this hotel due to its location in Bran, as I wanted to hike across two different mountains (Piatra Craiului and Bucegi). The hotel is located above Bran, in a location which has superb views of the mountains. While it has a great access road, the place is quiet, since there is not much traffic (and I was there on a busy holiday weekend). The hotel is very well maintained, and managed by the owners, which are very invested personally. I was very impressed from the warm welcome at check in and through the whole stay. There is plenty of hiking in the area, from strenuous long distance (I am a mountain runner) to leisurely hikes. The hotel has mountain bikes for rent, tennis court, mini soccer field, and a small pool. My first hike started early morning; the receptionist gave me a fairly thorough mountain safety check. The owners made sure I returned from the hike. They told me how in the past they called mountain rescue services themselves if guests did not return on time.
