Camera tip economic Mozart features free WiFi throughout the property and views of garden in Cluj-Napoca. The property is close to Cluj-Napoca Palace of Justice, Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral and Cluj-Napoca Transfiguration Cathedral. EXPO Transilvania is 3.6 km from the hostel and VIVO!

The location of the room was excellent - within walking distance to a wealth of interesting places, like the old town, the fabulous park near the arena, the canal, some great pubs, the cathedral and plaza with outdoor cafes. We could also walk to the train station. It was a very affordable place to stay while exploring Cluj-Napoca. Although we never met the hosts, they were very communicative, via email, which worked for us. Thank you!

The property is around 4.4 km from EXPO Transilvania, 5.8 km from VIVO! Cluj and 33 km from Turda Salt Mine. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk for guests.

Location is perfect if you are attending Untold Festival - would definitely recommend. The building is an old college so it is a little quirky but feels just like a dorm :)

The units in the hostel are equipped with a kettle. Rooms are fitted with a desk and a flat-screen TV, and certain units at Casa Thomas Cluj have a balcony. At the accommodation every room includes bed linen and towels.

I lucked out in finding this lodging. It is within a few hundred meters of the Cluj's Botanical Garden. It is also only a few blocks ...downhill and then level... from the city's main square. I couldn't have asked for a better location! I happened to arrive at a time when the owner/manager had arrived so we were able to arrange everything quickly. I thought the common bathroom was clean and the property was well-lit at night, both inside and outside. I also think the neighborhood was safe.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was ideally situated, in a very safe pedestrian area in the city safe. The staff was not often there, but always ready to help and give info. The rooms are comfortable and clean.

    I booked a bed in a four bed dormitory. It must have been empty because I was upgraded to a twin room with ensuite, and I was the only occupant. Delicious Mediterranean breakfast. Great location. Communal kitchen a bit of a shambles, but if you want luxury go to the hilton. Highly recommended.

    We use this place for early flights, I find it perfect, not far from the airport and it's quiet with good parking place. The owner does his best to assist as we left the car parked there for 1 week and it was cheap and safe compared to other places.

    I arrived in Cluj with rain and the sun almost falling, I entered the hostel and was greeted by a very friendly couple, they offered me coffee and chocolate, they showed me the place and where I could leave my things in a safe place. When I spent the night, the room with shared beds was at a good temperature, making my stay with them and the rest of the guests very pleasant.

    The hostel is cute, the staff are nice, and they make you free coffee. Location is great, right in the heart of Cluj. The Romanian paintings on the wall are cool, and the place is secured and felt safe.

    The apartment has a great location and the parking place is gold. it is located close to the city centre, inside a yard with other neighbours but it is quite calm and peaceful, safe and secure. The apartment has a great design and you can tell that they put effort into making it efficient.

    My partner and I had a lovely stay here! Great location, close to the Cluj Opera and the main square. The apartment was very modern and clean. The bed was comfy and the complex felt very safe and secure. The host was also very communicative and it was very easy to pick up the keys and leave the keys. I highly recommend for solo travellers or couples. The TV was also massive and had Netflix - perfect to wind down after a 10 hour tour!
