4/10 Fair
13 August 2023
More like "4-star class" wish hotel...
General – the hotel is nowhere near the 4-star class, chronically understaffed, and has significant maintenance issues.
Firstly – the parking was impossible, and neither was the valet. We spend at least 15 minutes trying to find someone to help us with parking… The staff is nice, but whoever is on call is pulled in 10 different directions and can not be available to all the customers simultaneously.
Secondly – when we finally made it into our room, both mini fridges were out, one of the AC remotes was missing, and our phones weren’t working (we couldn’t call reception, concierge, or any of the restaurants on the property). Every issue or request resulted in a lengthy trip across buildings and staying in line to talk to the receptionist (very frustrating). The night before, we stayed in the Presidential Suite of Mercure Sigishoara, which was cheaper (140 euros /night), comparable in size, and had none of the issues.
Thirdly - we contacted the management and Hotels.com, and almost (we got a bottle of warm champagne and a cheese plate) nothing was done to rectify the situation. So, unless this is hotel of "last resort" -- simply AVOID IT.
Lastly, I want to commend Alexandru, who was extremely helpful and tried to go out of his way to help us out. He is the only one who made us feel welcome.
