Cluj-Napoca King Matia Secret Treasure Exploration Game
"It is a beautiful property and very conveniently located across the street from the airport, just a two minute walk. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Room were beautiful."
"The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was amazing. I loved the property and yes it’s not close to the old town but I didn’t mind it (10 minute car ride). Loved the pool and restaurant. "
"Excellent hotel with wonderful breakfast, and awesome downstairs restaurant/bar. Impeccably clean and very modern. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only one regret: the spa was still under construction and there was no swimming pool open either. I will still recommend it to anyone that want an upscale hotel in Cluj, Romania area."
"Very pretty and unique architecture. It was also extremely clean. We would have appreciated a note in the room mentioning the price of the two small bottles of water in the room as they were 24 lei."
