The hotel is located in the middle of a superb mountain environment, close to the Arges creek, at the foothill of the mount Lespezi. The hosts are warm and friendly, ready to offer any detail about the touristic attractions in the area. The restaurant is decorated with great taste, including rustic elements and modern items, nicely exhibited. The menu is generous and the dishes are tasty. We enjoyed all meals, from breakfast to dinner. The room was spacious, clean and luminous, with a nice view to the creek in front of the hotel. We very much enjoyed our stay (it was not our first time, actually) and we warmly recommend this hotel.

Such a quiet and unique location off the Transfagarasan road - which is a great place to see some European Brown Bears. Staff were lovely and friendly (especially the dogs) - the room was on the smaller side, but super comfortable and well designed - the bathroom especially! We also had a lovely balcony overlooking the forest.

The view was spectacular, the swimming pool was awesome, jacuzzi as well
It was the perfect location for a night on the Transfăgărășan. The hotel is a 15 minute drive away from the highest point of the road and Bâlea Lake. Our room had a view on a beautifull waterfall, which is a very relaxing sight to wake up too. Room had everything we needed and a good shower. Breakfast was simple but good, and the restaurant was decent and has a good variery of local dishes. Would recommend the Papanași and a shot of Pálinka for the cold mountain weather.
Overall great stay and would love to come back!
Excellent stay in the middle of Transfagarsan. You cannot beat the location and views from this place. Rooms were basic, but comfy and clean - no complains. Staff extremely hard working and attentive. Very good breakfast was in the price of the room and we enjoyed it. Hotel has a restaurant and food quality is excellent. Definitely recommend to anyone who wish to spend a night in the heart of the Carpatians and drive in the area.
Perfect location - in the middle of Tranfagashan highway. We did the most difficult part of it in the first day, had a very pleasant stop in this hotel and then came back to Bucharest the next day. The room and the food were good. The hotel is located in a wonderful place, so the view is spectacular.
The location was very convenient for us, beautiful nature. Spacious room, nice balcony. Warm blankets and good heater. The kitchen was equipped with a fridge and a microwave.
There was space to park the car in front of the hotel.
Overall good value for money and good place to spend the night.
The location is perfect if you want to hike or just to enjoy Balea Lake. Best price for a 3 stars Hotel in the area. Everything was perfect. Very clean, super quite and the staff were very helpful and kind. You can order in the restaurant by 22 which is a very good option. I highly recommend!
Very nice stay in a nice place in the middle of Transfagarasan Road, we recommand do those who don't expect a "hotel quality" but are open to experience a stay in nice, cozy, warm place, the hosts live in the ground floor, the rooms for the guests are in 1st floor,
The room was really clean, with nice quality furniture an a huge bathroom. The location was great, with multiple hiking trails starting close by the hotel. The restaurant had affordable prices and they were really fast in serving the food.
Best possible "soundtrack" from the streams surrounding the hotel. Very good breakfast, nice staff but not really proactive. Food at the restaurant was good but nothing to write home about.
Great hotel on Transfagarasan road. 20 mins from Balea Lac. Née the hotel there is a small mountain river. The kids appreciated the playground for them. The restaurant is very good.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The location was excellent. There is a hidden waterfall crossing the hotel garden walking a little bit uno the mountains.
