Sibiu, Romania Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We were satisfied with the hotel services, staff and location, but it is located close to the airport, not to city center. However, taxi is very cheap there, so this is not a problem to reach the city. Wireless signal was unavailable in our room, but wired internet was provided through the cable (ask the receptionist). Breakfast is okay.

A very nice hotel. Pretty close to the main city attrcations (10 minute walk). Taxis are abundant and inexpensive, if one prefers them to walking. A very decent breakfast. Service is pleasant!!!! Sibiu is such a gem!!!!

If you are driving then finding the hotel in the old part of the city with its narrow one way streets may be a problem. We had a map but no SATNAV. The hotel is indeed a treasure. Our room was more like a suite in a grand old home. Mini bar is provided but no tea or coffee facilities in the room. The bed was comfortable and the feather down pillows were amazing. The location just 40 metres from the main city square puts it at the heart of shopping, culture and restaurants. Staff were friendly and very obliging. We had a hire car so the fact that they had parking was the clincher for us. Highly recommended.

A+ loctation is great!!!!!!!! and not hard to find even with a taxi who speaks no English! 2 minor issues beds were firm ( kind of a standard in Europe anyways) and hot water in the shower took a few minutes. Would recommend & would stay again! Staff was fabulous and able to help me with anything I asked.... Very kind sweat people! Also great pricing

Good hotel if you want to be on the square. But all the rooms are lofts and the lighting is poor.

Although we received an email confirmation from Expedia, the hotel did not receive the request from Expedia. It seems that requests to smaller hotels in smaller places in Romania are made by fax, which in this case did not come through. Therefore all the ratings in this review were only made because the website required me to input them in order to make this report. However, the staff seemed very nice and made arrangements for us to stay at another place, a very simple one, nearby.

At the front desk they announced that my booked and phone confirmed room was given to somebody else. They weren' t either sympathetic or helpful to find me a room at a nearby hotel. At least they didn' t draw money from my crdit card....

Very close to the Airport, only 10 Minutes drive and Taxi is about 15 Leu,, (about 3-4 Euros). Hotel is very nice and modern inside, Very clean, Excellent fast Internet. I previously read some customers reviews about the "strange" bathrooms,, i found the Bathroom well done and Modern with an Interesting Style. I prefer something different then seeing all the time the same in every Hotel. Hotel Stuff very friendly and efficient. Breakfast has plenty to offer and excellent Coffee machine. The old City is very nice, not very big but lots to see and some nice Museums as well. I was there with a Friend and we met a great Taxi Driver who spoke very Good English. We hired him for a whole day to drive to Bran Castle (the Famous Dracula Castle) which is about 200 Kilometers (one way) from Sibiu next to the town of Brasow. cost was 350 Leu. restaurants in Sibiu are excellent and very reasonably priced. Try a different one every day. especially those that offer Romanian specialties.
