You might be free to wander around today, but Citadel hasn't always been so welcoming! Learn the story behind this stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

When you've finished at this history-filled fortress in Brasov Old Town, why not check out Poiana Brasov Ski Resort, Piata Sfatului, and Black Church? They're not very far from Citadel and also a favorite with many tourists.

8/10 Very Good! (2 reviews)

The apartment was nice. Unfortunately, there was a leak in the apartment above which made this apartment smell bad. The host apologized profusely. I didn’t think it was going to be a problem. Unfortunately the workers they had upstairs working on the property were smoking heavily and most of my stay I could smell smoke and loud construction noise. I reached out a few times and they tried to get the workers to stop smoking, but it didn’t seem to work very well. If it were not for the unfortunate circumstances of the flooding with that smell and the constant smoke in the apartment I would’ve given this a five star review all day long.

Nice looking hotel but a bit tired in places.good location.the airport bus 100 is about 5 to 10 minutes walk away.. No kettles in the rooms .they do have a almost hot tap in the bar area .I asked for some hot water when the bar was shut but it was quite hard work to get it .the man in the reception wasn't very willing I say customer service was not high on his list of priorities
