“Retro Hostel, Cluj”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Retro Youth Hostel is a niche hostel in the city centre of Cluj, Romania. Reasonable prices for nice and comfortable rooms. The hostel with its two kitchens is clean, but some showers are a bit small. The sandwiches for breakfast don't fit for breakfast (but that might be my personal taste) , but there are also cornflakes and milk, coffee and tea. The hostel's staff is very kind and helpfull. To find the places to go, just ask them, you won't be disappointed.
All in all, a great place to stay in Cluj.

person found this review helpful

I stayed in Cluj for one night and I made the reservation in the day of the arrival by e-mail. The contact person was more than nice and prompt, so by the time I arrived at the hostel everything was prepared. You get free wifi, towels, possibilities to travel around the town and the area, the staff is always nice and eager to respond to any question/request. The lights have sensor so you don't have to search for the switches at night. Needless to say you get free coffee/tea any time you stay there. I recommend it to anyone!

“Noisy place, but helpful staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

This place is really noisy, because the street it is on, while quiet during the day, because "party central" for students at night, and they scream and yell until very late at night. So sleeping was almost impossible.

The rooms are tiny.

The staff, however, is excellent. They are students, and are really friendly, and very helpful.

“Good location and service, try to get a six-bed room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2009

A good base for exploring the lovely Cluj. The staff are there the whole time to check you in, though did seem distracted at times, taking a while to stop chatting and deal with your request.
The rooms are nice, but try to avoid going in the 8-bed dorm directly above the kitchen, as it's noisy when people are downstairs late at night and is also a cut-through to another room - not ideal. However the 6-bed room we also stayed in was nice.
The kitchen is really good and there are computers for guests to use.
