We amd the kids stayed in the largest of the 3 apartments the hotel has, which was very nice. The apartment has 2 bedrooms, living room and 2 bathrooms - it was large and clean. We love the area and stop every time we can. Not much to do around in the summer but you can ski in the winter.... More

Hotel looks nice, in nice place and good view. Room was cold heating was off and they turned it on when we arrived but did not have time to warm. Good internet in the whole hotel. We had a suite and had a big bath but the water was a bit redish (maybe the blood due to dracula???). Also the... More

Our larger group spent one night in this hotel. The rooms are individually decorated to associate Dracula. The food was good. There is no lift which is a significant barrier to the transfer of suitcases at accommodation in rooms for one night. The bed was comfortable for one night. Bathroom relatively clean (as far as I saw).

The setting of Stoker's novel Dracula, high up in a pass through the northern Romanian mountains is now a theme hotel. The Castel Dracula attracts day-trippers as well as those who choose to stay the night. The decor is excellent: the hotel carpets are blood red, the rooms have a gothic feel, the stuffed animals and skulls in the lobby... More

One of the most important sites for Dracula fans is the Borgo Pass which peaks at just under 4000 feet. And almost at the highest point on the Pass is the Castle Dracula Hotel, built in the early 1980s. While this hotel caters to nutty tourists looking for the vampire Count (it even has a crypt complete with coffin!), it... More

I stayed here for one night as part of a trail riding holiday. Although the exterior of the hotel is a little sombre, I was very impressed by the standard of the hotel and especially the lovely furnishings in the rooms. I had an evening meal in the restaurant which is very nicely presented with extremely attentive staff and good... More

Apart from the name and location, this hotel has nothing to offer. It is out in the middle of nowhere and unless you are traveling through the area or a fanatic about Bram Stoker, it is a waste of time. Without a doubt the area is beautiful and I am happy to have visited northern Romania, but there was no... More

We highly recommend this amazing place! The location, the views, the people, food, ambiance, everything is what we expected and more! Just loved it! We also had our wedding there, for three days and three nights and it was the most special event, more than I could ever dream! We will always come back there, and bring our friends to... More

Good hotel in an old castle with spectacular views, very nice staff, clean and cheap rooms. Thoroughly recommendable although the food in the restaurant needs to catch up with the rest of the hotel. If you like a little Dracula show, you'll also be served. Visit the bar in the tower and the nearby monastery.
