Brasov Travel Forum

Hello,

I am planning to be in Brasov for one night in early September. I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has stayed at the Bella Muzica Hotel. Or is there anyone living in Brasov that knows if this is a nice hotel and worth the money you pay to stay here? Are there any hotels in Brasov nicer than Bella Muzica Hotel. I appreciate all responses. Thanks!

Hello Erica,

I don't know if this hotel is nice, but I know something better.
The House of Dracula hotel in Poiana Brasov (4*). A single is about 90 euro.
The service is excelent, and the great thing about this hotel is that its design is one of a mediaeval castle. Actually they tried to make a replica of the Bran Castle.

The rooms are charming, the security is great, and the personal is professional.

That is where I stay when I get in the area.

Though, only one night in Brasov area?????????

I just spent 4 days there and it is still not enough to do everything that is in the area.

Anyway let me know if there is anything else you need to know.

Hi,

I stayed in Bella Muzica for three nights last summer. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 children. The website is lovely, and does a very good job of selling this small hotel. The big plus is the location. You step out and you're in the centre of the old town, on the corner of Piata Sfatului.

When we arrived there was no-one to help us with our luggage. We asked the man at reception, but he just shrugged his shoulders and said that they don't have someone for that job! There is no lift, and hawling your luggage up two flights ain't fun! We booked one suite and three double rooms. The suite was fabulous (pictures 14 and 16 on the site), it was air conditioned, but the safety deposit box failed to work. Help from the front desk was very slow in coming to help us out with it. The instructions in English were not properly translated from the Romanian.

The double rooms were very small, and not air conditioned. (Note how ambiguous they are on the site "air conditioned - some rooms".) The ensuite shower rooms are tiny and dark. The breakfast buffet is good in that they cater for children's needs (coco pops, corn flakes, etc) as well as hot food, fresh fruit, cozonac, muesli, juice, etc.

I've travelled a lot in Romania, and am learning to turn a blind eye to the often lacking service experienced in hotels (I stay in Pensiunea accommodation anymore, much friendlier, and cheaper too). However, Bella Muzica's site and prices led me to expect better service. Generally I was disappointed and would not stay there again.

I was back in the area this summer and decided to stay in Poiana Brasov instead of Brasov, so I can't offer advice on other hotels in Brasov.

By the way, Brasov old town centre is really beautiful, there are some lovely restaurants down Str. Hirscher. Enjoy your time there.


Hope this helped.

Bella Muzica is right in the center of Bucharest, in the main plaza near the Black Church and the City Hall. Location is excellent. I can tell you that the restaurant is very nice, in a former wine cellar, very nice music and athmosphere. I don't know about the hotel but judging from the reception and the training of the restaurant people I think it's a great choice while visiting Brasov. If you like another hotel that I like it's Hotel Belvedere, on the way to Poiana Brasov, it has 4 stars rooms (big and nice) and a panoramic view restaurant at the top floor. I recommend that because I stayed there and I would stay again.
