Ratiu House

We had booked and paid to stay here for 3 nights but we left after 1 night because there is absolutely nothing in Turda. We struggled to find anywhere that was open where we could eat on the first night. We had booked a specific room which we were told wasn’t available because of an electricity problem but the rest of the hotel seemed OK - I am not convinced there was a problem. They claim to have some private parking spaces but they were all taken by locals so we had to park in some little back street. We were eventually put in the Professor’s room after rejecting the room that was offered because it had the bath in the bedroom. The room was OK but was very dark. The bathroom was very small and each time we used the shower the floor was covered in water. Breakfast is completely self service and it taken at one communal table.

We were pleasantly surprised when we entered the hotel. I never experienced a hotel like this before. It was like home on the first day. The whole atmosphere is so warm and cosy. The desing and old furniture made it felt like we were living in a museum.
