Reviews of Burg Hostel Sighisoara 2 stars

The place was right smack in old town ! So perfect 👌🏽 walkable to anywhere u want to all the main attractions

When I checked in I smelt the blanket and it wasn’t clean. Yes the bed and the sheets were but the blanket had a funky smell. I messaged the guys and they gave me another room to go to. Inconvenient bc I had to move at 11pm at night. Major stairs and I had a suitcase ! They were rude about it also saying that a female was in the room prior to me. Which defeats the purpose of hygiene.. it wasn’t clean !

Perfectly located in the old town. Huge common area

The bed was extremely uncomfortable - small / short, the mattress was paper thin and sank. The room doesn’t have aircon, which meant that it was very stuff in August, and if you leave the windows open for a bit of fresh air, it is extremely loud outside as you’re in the old town and the bells also go off every hour. The room is designed so two of the beds are under the slanted attic walls with very little space for movement. The bathroom stank up quite quickly once people started using it, one shower and toilet is shared between two dorms (mine had 8 people). There is also no shower head holder and it’s quite awkward, especially if you have long hair and want to wash it. Lastly, there is no staff onsite - I had a really rude, problematic person in my dorm, and no way to address it

The location and price were great, really unbeatable. If you just need a decent roof over your head to sleep, this is probably the perfect choice.

Price is great, but you get what you paid (or more like didn't pay) for. Being in the room in the summer is simply unbearable. There's no AC, only a tiny window that doesn't let enough air in for the whole room (at least in our room) and the smell coming out of the pipes made things even worse. We had to keep the window and door open for at least 15 minutes before even considering staying in the room. Maybe on colder days it's better, but beware if you plan to visit in the summer.

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.

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!

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.

Super location, close walk to everything. I loved the social / dining room. Right in old town. Easy walk (10 minutes) to the “center”. Met great travelers from there. Restaurants and bars are a minute or 2 walk. The host, who owns it goes beyond in the way he knows Romania in general and the city.

No issues to speak of.

The location, price, the historic building

They seem to organize parties and is hard to sleep on ocassions. Hard to find a good place to plug your laptop

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.

Door codes should be changed (numbers with worn off, could guess the code), having to go up and down the hill to get to supermarket, train etc

Great location in the heart of old town. Nice room. Lots of space. Definitely worth staying again.

Cave (kitchen, games, posibility to buy drinks, somethink to eat (machines)

Noise, it is perfect if you are looking for fun. But if you need to take rest... it is not getting quiet at 10pm 😆

the location was really good

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

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

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.

Amazing location, dorm was lovely and spacious with private shower and bathroom. The courtyard was so cool on the hotter days, great to cool down before heading out to dinner.

The kitchen consists of a microwave and kettle only, no hob / cooker - something to be aware of before shopping for your stay.

Perfect hostel

The hostel didn't had a kitchen for cooking only a microwave

A very nice hostel in a beautiful old house in the old part of the city. Perfect location. Good dorm and nice big common area.
