    Perfect location - 15min from the bus or train, just in the city center. Easy self check-in. In this type of accomodation your roommates does more then then facily itself. The level of accommodation corresponds to the price.

    These are minor things: there was no handsoap at the bathroom (so bring your own), the bed is squeaky (so if you're a very light sleeper be advised) and the kitchen does NOT have a stove - there is a kettle and and electric steamer for eggs.

    First of all, the host was kind, friendly and helpful: a lovely woman! The room was decently sized, clean and decorated with heart, and the set-up for coming in and out of the hostel is simple and allows for freedom of movement. Lastly, the eating area is spacious and the location is excellent!

    Location in the fortress, good common areas, single room was a dorm for 4 which was private, stayed cool despite high temperatures and no AC, no keys.

    Lack of people, no guests, not even staff at the entrance, because it's a self check in, so i didn't talk to a single soul while staying there

    I had a double bed, private bathroom in the room, it was a quite decent room in a nice location. I had the whole room to myself as no one else showed up. It was clean

    The common area is spacious and comfortable. The room I stayed in was on the second floor, a female dormitory with a toilet and bathroom. I had to work during the week, and there was plenty of space available with good internet, that works very well for video calls. The kitchen area has enough space and tools to prepare meals (microwave, kettle, toaster), also with space to work and socialization. The location is great! In the middle of the medieval citadel! The owner was present at all times as she was cooking for a large group of guests. She was very friendly, helped me with everything I needed and more than expected She always wanted to ensure everyone felt comfortable in the hostel. I recommend and would return to the hostel if I visit Sighisoara again.

    Incredible Location in Center of Town

    Self-check in process, and staff is pretty much nonexistent. I didn't have any issues during my stay, but other people who were staying there who wanted to get in touch with the staff had a very difficult time doing so.

    Insane location less than a 5-minute walk from the Clock Tower. Dorms are nice and small, with only 4 beds, so you're not bunking with 12+ other people like some other hostels. Huge common area downstairs where you can sit and relax.

    Decent hostel right in the center

    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room with Private Bathroom

    I was not told which bed was mine, so I just picked a clean one. The choice was not the best, however, because my mattress had a "hole". Furthermore, I didn't get the room I booked but one with a shared bathroom, which was no problem since it wasn't busy. The kitchen was very disappointing since there isn't even a stove, making cooking almost impossible. I would recommend adding a small (electric) stove to fix this issue! I didn't see any staff on site.

    The hostel literally has the perfect location in the middle of the old town. The building is very impressive because of its age but kept in good shape. The hostel was not busy while I was there and the check-in was contactless via key code. The room and the bathroom were basic but well equipped.

    My bed was not as comfortable. Can’t say that for all beds, just the one I slept on.

    Priced fairly, they let me drop my bag early, room was clean. Had less of a hostel vibe but still met a few people. Excellent location in old town. Staff responded quickly but can’t say I saw a staff more than once but still felt safe. FYI for others, they did not provide shower gel/bathing soap so bring your own.

    There were no other travelers staying at the time so it was a bit lonely, not the hostel fault of course. There are microwaves to heat up some food but no kitchen if you want to cook. The rest was good.

    Excellent location in the old part of the town and nearby attractions. It was self checkout and that was fine cause we arrived in the night, the instructions were easy to read.

    None was there, neither a receptionist nor cleaning personal.. none. We were only 3 hosts at the time, and non of us encountered any hostel member. one of the guest himself helped me to settle. i contact via whatsapp someone, who answered me, but anyway, it felt, for all of us, lonely and at our own. (add to this that the city was empty, with very few persons waling around and very few shops open- you should go down to the city) the room could have been updated (has a convent vibe). With not that much it could be a very nice place

    the location is very good, within the citadel, but as it is a very little place, you can t go wrong here. the hostel was not bad as a whole, underground kitchen, my bedroom (at least) with bathroom. the general temperature (i was there in winter) was ok, but the bathroom was cold. the structure of the hostel is good

    The kitchen was pretty neglected, the bathroom it my room had no heating installed, so it gets cold inside during the winter - especially the floor. The price was cheap (15 euro per night in 2024 December), but for twice as much I could have booked a room in a four star hotel, so I wouldn't really recommend this hostel unless you really need to save money.

    The location is good, and the price is the cheapest in the city. I didn't meet anyone from the staff, just got the access codes in a message on this site (I only stayed for one night, and it was off-season).

    I booked 4 beds with private bathroom but i was given 6 beds( though only 4 ppl there) with bathroom outside ( there is a door code for bedroom, so if i close the door, the door is locked) not convient when i went to toilet at night that i need to remember the code…. Kitchen is very minimal and no free coffee.

    Location is amazing, right off the beautiful square and everything. I was only there for one night but walked day/night and be able to pop back to hostel for a rest. Close to train station 10-15 min walk. I took bus from Brasov to Sighisoara and then took train to Sibiu. Very convenient. Bed is comfortable and have a big locker . Can leave luggage before check in. Towel includes
