I had a wonderful stay at the Pensiunea Joker while travelling through Romania this month. The hotel room had a private, immaculate bathroom with tub and shower. The room was simply furnished with table, chairs, night stands (with lamps), and an armoire with the TV. The sheets were crisp and clean and the bed was firm enough to provide a great nights sleep. The room was not air conditioned (in the mountains of Romania that is not needed- just crack the window). My room had a skylight that opened, ample towels, and I couldn't find fault with anything regarding the cleanliness (yes, I looked!). The room was very affordable at 27 Euros- 100 lei (Romanian)- $36 a night. Breakfast was not included but was $5-7 at the adjacent restaurant. Both of my hosts spoke sufficient English. My room was upstairs and overlooked the courtyard area. The room was very quiet and I awoke to roosters crowing in the distance. The walkways were surrounded by blooming flowers. It was evident to me that the owners took great pride in their hotel. The location was also good, as it was two blocks from the citadel (the well-preserved medieval center of Sighisoara). When I return to Romania, I will stay at the Joker whenever I am in Sighisoara.
