This place was very frustrating - a combo of great things and really mediocre things which should not be taking place at a hotel this pricey, and which styles itself as a luxurious boutique hotel. On the plus side - nice staff, great beds, quiet building and environment, beautiful and distinct building, with lots of character. The not-so-good things - the breakfast, while plentiful, was clearly re-using food from previous days, like bread rolls, chia puddings, bananas (they kept getting darker and darker) etc. No real orange juice for breakfast, only the undrinkable pre-packaged stuff, yet they had the facilities to make you a fresh one - but only if you paid extra. The towels in the bathroom were clean, but had been washed so many times that they've become as harsh as sandpaper, rough and threadbare - really out of place in this hotel; and finally - and I appreciate this is subjective - the decor is atrocious, a lot of garish, fake-luxury furniture, awful paintings, the kitschiest of kitsch - with no information at all about the building, its history, all of which is a touristic goldmine - but the interest just isn't there i guess.

Even though the property is aesthetically, beautiful, there is no regard for the comfort of the guest. There is no elevator, and we were forced to leave our clothes and suitcases in the car and climb up three flights of steps. We are in our 70s and we could not lug heavy suitcases up those stairs. We arrived late in the day, and there was no air conditioning in the hot room. We opened a small window and no air could come inside. We spent the rest of the night, hot and perspiring. We did not enjoy our stay. However, the, breakfast was excellent, one of the best we have had in Romania, and the staff were very kind. I wish the owner would place more emphasis on comfort of the guest than in the elegant appearance in the hotel. They need an elevator and to turn on the air conditioning when it is hot at night. By the way, we were not the only guests who were hot and miserable. Another family told us they were hot the entire night and could not sleep.

An excellent hotel with great rooms and amenities, breakfast included, and friendly personnel. The hotel is truly a gem, situated in Downtown Craiova in a renovated historical building. The finishes and services make it a truly exceptional experience. Even though there was a confusion around the booking, the staff worked hard to correct the mistake and things got resolved fairly and promptly.
