Second stay at Casă Chitic. In the same room, too. Everything was super clean and the staff was extremely helpful. It is a quiet place in the center of the city which is always remarkable because you have everything really close: pubs, markets, coffee houses. Loved it and will return for sure.

Great stay, gorgeous hotel!
Gorgeous atmosphere and stunning room- well worth carrying suitcases up flights of stairs in the beautiful building, it's all so full of character!
The hotel is well located for food and as a jumping off point for travel tours to the castles. The breakfast offering was great and all staff were wonderful and accommodating. Would highly recommend this hotel!!

A lovely, quirky little hotel, extremely clean, lovely continental breakfast with good coffee. Location is excellent and close to the centre of Brasov, parking is a nightmare to get a spot, so we made a reservation with the hotel for one of their spaces, a must do if you have a car! Staff were very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Chitic and we would stay here again. Excellent place.

Casa Chitic is the perfect location for staying in Braşov. The homey feel, great service and tranquil surroundings made it an excellent choice for a vacation in the old city.
Want to mention Catalin at the front desk for his help.
