Sport Cluj

This is a relic of a time long gone. People used to go to the hotel sport to drink and smoke during communism and most of the same furniture was still there at the time. The staff is utterly useless, but it's the only hotel located in Central Park & some of the rooms offer beautiful views of the park. Breakfast is also better than at most hotels at double the cost. Due to its location and good price, I can't help but approve this hotel, in spite of it's very apparent drawbacks.

We stayed here while participating at a sports event. The location is ideal for events hosted at either Sala Polivalenta or Cluj Arena, it doesn't get closer that this. The staff was nice, the hotel and room were clean (to be noted that we stayed in the renovated wing) and there were enough parking spots. Breakfast was decent and the refills were quick. The furniture in our room was a bit crowded and obstructed access to the wall sockets. The quilt was a bit undersized for a matrimonial bed but they offered extra blankets. The sound insulation was also a bit poor. Indeed, you can see the hotel is old, but considering the location and the price it's good value for money.

This hotel had its glorious times under the former communist regime, but it failed to keep up with modernisation that obviously followed. So, for someone wanting to relive those times, or to approximately see how it was, this would be an appropriate choice. Otherwise, keep in mind that it's worn out, but cheep and with a great location.
