“Ceausescu style left over from last century.”

Found it by us on a map upon arrival to town.
It didn't look so well outside, but many Romanian town hotels don't, we entered anyway.
The staff where very friendly, helpful, struggling to find a decent room for a mid aged couple like us.
The selection had filthy carpets, stained bed lining, worn and hollow beds, a strange odor from the pillows, air-condition by an seized window, a bath filthy but cleaned in the middle, cold water only however.
The missing towels and toilet rolls where taken care of by the staff during our evening walk.
In the corridors large but untrimmed plants are found, as well as weed growing through the window frames. Lighting in corridors is scarce, and remind one of horror films, but no such problems popped up, although Dracula where expected.
Maintenance, we don't think so.
The restaurant; well we loved our stomachs and dined out that evening.
Cheap, Yes approximately € 25 a double room, payment in cash only, but we could select to pay up front or next morning.
And located within nice walking distance from the historical town of Sighisoara.

“Perfect for vampires”

My two friends and I phoned up the Hotel Steaua to book a room on our Halloween trip in Transylvania; the staff seemed friendly and helpful, and the hotel seemed as good as any from their website. The dilapidated building we arrived at after nightfall didn't really faze us as we'd learnt not to judge Romanian hotels by their exteriors, but when the Dracula-esque receptionist took us to our room via a network of grey corridors littered with unkempt houseplants alarm bells did start to go off. The room was a large dingy box with incongruously modern lighting fixtures, a filthy carpet and an ensuite bathroom harbouring small drifts of grime in the corners. Further inspection revealed a graffitied wardbrobe by way of secure storage for our luggage and a rather flimsy single lock on the door. The bleak view over the rusty neighbouring houses and courtyard added to the sinister charm of the place.

Despite being given the option to decline the room after seeing it, at the equivalent of €10 each we decided to stay against our better judgement - and thankfully left with all our belongings the next day. Oh and we found this review in our Lonely Planet when we got home:

" The friendliness of the staff is surprising considering they work in such a grim, musty place. The carpets are seething, the toilets grimy, and the rooms and corridors dark and dank. You might see a vampire or two here. It is, however, cheap and central."

  • Liked — The Halloween experience
  • Disliked — The strange voices in the stairwell (and the grubby toilet)
  • Tips/Secrets — Don't even think about trying the restaurant!
  • Stayed October 2006, travelled with friends
