Situated in the Old Town of Cluj. Very nice, comfortable and clean! You can sleep well at night. There's a well-equipped playroom and kitchen (free cornflakes;). You can also spend a little time on a terrace. Enjoy your stay!

Kitchen is perfect (clean, lots of items + basic spices, shelf for common food (and usually sth there). The owner is... More

I had to overnight in Cluj to catch an early morning flight. I found this place online and since it had decent reviews, I decided to give it a shot. In short, it is a great place. It is right in the centre of Cluj, which is a huge plus, and everything is nearby. As for the hostel itself, the... More

The staff were very friendly and helpful, sadly I forgot their names but it was a young girl and another time a young guy - both very... More

This is one of the best equipped hostel I have been to. It iseems new, is very clean, just in the center of Cluj in the old building with lots of green in the back. Bahtrooms offer a massage shower cabin or even hairdrayer. Huge kitchen and two living areas make this place more social than other hostels. Normaly breakfast... More

I found this great hostel on line, having had a breakdown on my motorbike. What fantastic luck. I initially booked for 3 nights but left two weeks later! I didn't want my motorbike to be fixed so I could stay longer. With such friendly and upbeat staff it made for an enjoyable time. Great local information from staff and super... More

This has got to be one of the best hostels in Eastern Europe. The location is perfect and makes the surrounding city sights easy to navigate. The staff is extremely knowledgable, understanding, helpful, and fun to talk to. They also always have someone working at the reception desk, so there's always someone to help with questions. The beds are extremely... More

The best hostel I've ever been to. I didn't even expect it to be this good. The hostel is right in the center of the city, taxi from the airport takes about 20 - 30 minutes and costs no more than 5 euros. There's plenty of restaurants, bars, fast foods within 10 minutes walking distance from hostel, lots of them... More
