The breakfast was amazing, prepared by our host herself. The room and bathroom were big, clean and comfortable. The overall feeling of the lovely building was very nice, the kindness of the host shining through. The starting point of the route to Setea Mare peak (and also to Paring for those who like longer hikes) was well withing reach by car - a few minutes maybe. We had a great time. Thanks for all!

Nice place, pretty simple, clean air, quiet (when no motorcyclists around). Not many "attractions" end of August, but as a busy person in a big city I do appreciate a little slow living now and then, to recharge my batteries. Very good food is available in the area. Organic stuff, homemade style.

This resort has potential to become something nice.
This resort has potential to become something nice.
Currently there's no ATM here so you'll have some cash at your disposal for places where paying by card is not an option (like skiing hours, equipment rental, paying for parking and guarantee for the ski-lift card)
Also I've only identified two supermarkets both are rather small and only one of them accepts credit cards.
Parking is rather difficult especially when it's snowing and parking on the side of the road is no longer an option, for the M1 sky track there are only two parking lots that are rather small and one of them is 30Ron/day.
For the M3 and sleigh tracks there is a larger parking lot available at 5Ron/h.
In what regards food I have tried Tara Ranca and Alessia Restaurant and both offered great services.
In what regards skiing and snowboarding lessons I recommend NDY Skiing Center that is located near the M1 track.
Also I recommend going from Sunday to Saturday or mid week in order to avoid congestion.

Lots of restaurants and hotels but only one supermarket.
Lots of restaurants and hotels but only one supermarket.
One of the greatest roads in the country - Transalpina.
The view is breathtaking, the air is clean, the people are friendly.
If you travel by car there are a lot of wonderful places to visit in the close proximity (100-150km).

The surroundings, the location are excellent.
The surroundings, the location are excellent. Plenty of accommodation facilities. Hotel Paring was excellent, very good food, nice location and facilities. It is easy to get there from Tirgu Jiu, and it is very spectacular to get there on Transalpina mountain road, but not easy. There is a ski resort and there are mountaineering opportunities. Parang mountains are very close and easy to get there.

The main attraction in the summer is the beautiful road "...
The main attraction in the summer is the beautiful road "Transalpina" on which Ranca is situated. The road is the highest road in Romania. Along the many hairpin turns of the road, vast, breathtaking vistas appear on clear days which will undoubtedly overwhelm your senses.
There are several rustic places to visit on the way and even some daring hiking opportunities for enthusiasts.
Ranca truly shines as a ski resort in the winter.
Overall, it's a sure winning destination, but only if the weather gods are in your favor.

Beautiful nature with mountains and forests.
Beautiful nature with mountains and forests.
Very scenic drive down Transalpina.
Unfortunately, people don’t seem to care about the environment. Hotels and guest houses’ owners do not take care of anything outside their door. They don’t understand that tourists drive for hours not for a bed and shower but to enjoy the beauty of nature.
They should clean up the resort and plant trees and flowers, not litter everyehere.
First of all, Ranca is just the perfect place to stay in order to be on Transalpina early in the day.
The hotel is nice and our room was huge, with a small balcony with perfect view of the mountains.
Parking is outside but feels safe for motorcycles (a few unpaved metres to reach it though).
We had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. In general, excellent value for money.
Lastly, I love the fact that they were taking care of a few stray dogs.
Great place. Very helpful and friendly staff. The room is clean, well-furnished, and has everything you need (even a fridge). The view of Ranca and the Transalpina - worth a million dollars. Breakfasts are very tasty, with a choice from the menu. The restaurant stays open late, offering great dishes. Ample parking. I highly recommend it and will definitely return.
The stuff was very friendly and helpful. We are vegan and we even received personalized food, which wasn't in the menu, and was really good and tasty. This was very nice of them, they listened to our needs and did their best to help us.
Very good location, near the ski area.
Highly recommended from all points of interest.
Deffinitely coming back.
Location, location, location… at the beginning of transalpina highway, the highest cabana, overlooking the valleys, ski hill, close to wonderful trails circling between peaks above 2000m and the clouds. The owner was very helpful. He knows the mountains very well and gave us great recommendations for trails, restaurants and sightseeing!
Impeccably clean. Very friendly staff. Nice common areas (terrace and gardens). It didn’t have a restaurant or bar but instead had a large, well equipped community kitchen where you could make your own meals. Excellent wifi. The room was small but well heated and had everything you could need. As a *** hotel, it holds its own very well.
Excelent placed hotel in the proximity of the ski cables, although we were here in the summer. Our room was spacious, clean and had a balcony with a view to the nearby ski cables and mountain peak. Staff was friendly and kind with us.
I liked the friendliness of the host and the beautiful view from our window.
The room was big and clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The location is excellent near to the entrance into Ranca.
Very good location within Ranca, well maintained property, hospitable hosts and good value and food in the restaurant. For those interested there are ATV's to rent and explore the alpine plain.
It is really nice placed close to amenities. Really nice view from the balcony, big, nice and clean room. Also bathroom big enough and clean and the hotel provide needed toiletries.
Great location, away from the crowded centre of Ranca, great view of the mountains.
Friendly staff
Great food
Low prices
Excellent mattress for a guy with back problems
The best place to stay in Ranca. Nice and quiet location. Marvellous stay even that it was for only one night. I did not find any flaws, I just had a great time!
