Sinaia / Peles Castle hotel
Nice hotel with a great breakfast buffet. Limited hotel parking, about 10 spaces. NO ELEVATOR. I was on 3 floor which involved carrying a suitcase up 5 sets of stairs. Not suitable for disabled or mobility impaired guests. Even if you are on “ground “ floor, it involved 2 sets of stairs. 10-15 minute walk tonPeles and Pelisor Castles. Recommend just parking at hotel and walking. If you want to go into town, very long walk downhill, take the bus.

The hotel is cute, the view is good, the room and wc are big. Did like it oeverwall!! However, the staff is really rude. The hotel have 14h reception, however we arrive at 3am, the guy was sleeping, we talked with him in English and he replied in romenia language. Also ask for an explanation why we were arriving at that time. The lady from the breakfast also rude

Didn’t provide clean towels or clean our room, when asked for clean towels it was a hassle for them to get them for us. When my husband said we didn’t have any new towels given to us their reply was “well today you didn’t”. We paid extra for a mountain view and didn’t see any mountains!! Would not stay again!

Nice hotel close to the Castle
This hotel is located at the top of the hill, close to the Peles Castle. It is an easy walk to the Castle and monastery. You can walk into town (about 20 minutes away) or a cab cost $3. The hotel was nice and the staff was very friendly. The rooms have beautiful views of the mountains.

Gorgeous view and close to the Peles
Lovely, comfortable stay despite the age of the building showing (sone TLC needed into the bathroom), stunning views of the mountain ranges, extremely welcoming and friend staff, parking easy to get into right off the main road, restaurant on the main floor has excellent, reasonably priced food. Super welcoming of tourists.

View could be better
Considering we had paid extra for a panoramic view, it was rather obscured by buildings opposite and not the view expected. The bed was ok only and no hair dryer was provided even though it was listed as being a standard feature. Breakfast was good. Parking a little difficult with full narrow spaces in front of the hotel and access to the side rather steep.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your stay. It is difficult to find and check your reservation as you posted an anonymous review. We really don't understand which building is obscuring the view (if you booked and paid a panoramic room) as the hotel is situated on a hill and the view is open to the mountains. Further more ALL our rooms have a hair dryer that is FIXED on the wall of the bathrooms. Thank you Simona Pandrea

Clean, spacious room, well lit, helpful location
Everything is fine at the hotel, from the efficient reception staff and check-in process to the spaciousness and cleanness of the room. Breakfast is consistent and in line with Romanian 3-star hotel standards (meaning decent but not top). Location is excellent, close to the mountain road and not too far from Sinaia's main touristic objective which is Peles Castle. All in all go for it.

Location and view are the main advantages
No-frills hotel - but with an unbeatable balcony view. The mountains are absolutely majestic. Also, the main local attractions - the Peles Castle - is within minutes by foot. The main drawback: wi-fi kept dropping signal, and even asking the staff to re-set the modem didn't help.

I love this hotel due the nice room and kind staffs. The room was average but the view was stunning. It was old-fashioned room but clean enough to stay. This hotel is close to Peleş Castle so it is easy to access the most important tourist spot. Highly recommend.

What I will remember the most from this hotel are the great views and quiet location. Yes, it is a bit of a hike down the hill into the village, but the helpful staff and adequate parking situation makes a most hospitable place to relax.

We made a last minute booking to stay here and couldn't have been happier. Staff was very friendly and the hotel had large comfortable rooms with an amazing view on the mountains. The only problem is that the hotel name sign was off of the building so it was a little hard to find (had to compare with the photos on Hotels.com) but otherwise couldn't have asked for a better stay for such a cheap price! Also had free parking, wifi, and breakfast.

Convenient quiet place
A very convenient place within minutes of walking to Peles Castle. There are a few good restaurants in that area too. Driving is a must to get to the hotel and be prepared for some narrow winding roads... Breakfast is provided, which has the usual spread of hams, jams, cheeses, breads, eggs and cereals. Down side was that the toaster didn't work, but that wasn't a really significant point.

Only if you find a very cheap deal
Handy location if intending to visit Bugeci national park (10min walk to Sinaia gondola) or Peles and Pelisor castles (same distance). The room was somewhat modern, but warm water was a problem. On both days hot water ran out. The service and the attitude of the staff leaves also room for improvement. English skills were so and so. This was the worst hotel experience (out of 4) during my Romania trip so cannot genuinly recommend, but if you’re ok with compromising on the service level and find a good price, this is an ok place to stay for couple nights.

Dear Guest, thank you for your stay. The hotel was completely renovated and the room you stood in was open to guests only 3 weeks before your stay. Anyway this days I spoke with all the staff to understand what happened and, if indeed it was a problem with hot water, why was not solved. The "problem" was not solved because you have NEVER complained anything to anyone. There is a central heating every 5 rooms and neither one of the other 4 rooms complained anything. We are sorry for any inconvenient and we suggest you that next time to really complain so the "problem" can be solved. We assure you that the problems in our hotel are quickly solved so we can offer to our guest a very pleasent stay.

Well located for a short stay.
The hotel is located in the high part of the city of Sinaia, very close to Peles and Pelisor castles. The breakfast is good and the food in the restaurant (dinner) is very good. The weather was cold and the heating worked properly. The room is big. The receptionist Adriana was very unfriendly initially, but she improved her behavior during the first day of our stay. The receptionist in the following day (another lady, I didn´t ask the name) was very helpful and friendly.

Slidt hotel men god morgenmad
Hotellet var nedslidt, og servicen var svær at få øje på. Gamle senge og interiør. Flot udsigt fra den ene side og god beliggenhed til at udforske bjerget. Morgenmaden var det største plus, hvor specielt en medarbejder var meget sød.
