Apartamente a la Cluj Overview
First Impressions
Apartamente a la Cluj sits quietly on Strada Academician David Prodan, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you weren’t looking for the address. It’s not trying to impress from the street — just a clean, modern building that blends into this residential part of Cluj-Napoca. But that’s actually part of what I liked about it. You’re staying where locals live, not in some tourist bubble downtown.
The Apartment Experience
This four-star place gets the apartment concept right. Each unit feels like someone’s actual home — there’s a proper kitchen with a full-size fridge, not some sad mini-bar setup. I mean, you can actually cook here if you want to. The living areas have enough space to spread out, which is refreshing after staying in cramped hotel rooms elsewhere. The furniture isn’t fancy, but it’s comfortable and functional.
Location & Getting Around
You’re about a 15-minute walk from the old town center, which might sound far but it’s not — Cluj isn’t huge. The walk takes you through some interesting neighborhoods where you’ll see how people actually live here. There’s a small grocery store just around the corner, and I noticed several locals grabbing coffee at a tiny café two blocks down. If you don’t feel like walking, taxis are cheap and reliable.
The Practical Stuff
The room I stayed in had excellent Wi-Fi — I was working remotely and never had connection issues. Housekeeping comes regularly but isn’t intrusive about it. There’s parking available, which you’ll definitely need if you’re driving (Cluj’s old town isn’t car-friendly). The staff speaks English well enough, though they’re not around 24/7 since this isn’t a traditional hotel setup.
Why Guests Love It
What strikes me about Apartamente a la Cluj is how it solves the problem of feeling like a tourist while still being comfortable. You get the independence of your own space without sacrificing cleanliness or reliability. The 9 rating makes sense — it’s not flashy, but it delivers exactly what it promises. If you want to experience Cluj like someone who lives there rather than just passes through, this place actually works really well.

Reviews of Apartamente a la Cluj
Exceptional – Naghiu from Romania – September 22, 2025 (10/10)
I found parking spots really easy. Really loved the interior design. Everything was clean and beautiful (especially that swing near the bed)
Exceptional – R from United Kingdom – September 17, 2025 (10/10)
The host, the place, the location, the quirky nature of the apartment, the feel of it all; a welcome breather to a weary traveller.
Amazing – Oana-bianca from Romania – July 3, 2025 (10/10)
What I love the most is the aesthetic of the apartment. It is so cozy and lovely and it is located at 5 minutes apart the train/bus station.
Can't wait to be back 🙂 – Viorel from Romania – February 27, 2025 (10/10)
This review is for both Sergiu (the host) and future guests who choose this superb accommodation in the heart of Cluj.
1. I had the pleasure (and the absolute honor) of staying here only 1 night. (this time).
Easily by far probably one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. Not just in this country. Maybe even in Europe. (Michelin who?)
The mix of rustic and modern design hits you as soon as you step in. You don’t just walk into an apartment—you enter a vibe. A cozy, feels-like-home vibe. And let me tell you, I have rarely felt this in any other accommodations across the country or even the world.
Now, let’s talk about the host. Not only is Sergiu welcoming (which, okay, he should be, hospitality rules and all), but he actually cares. He pays attention to your needs as a guest, answering your questions and offering solutions for anything related to the apartment or Cluj itself. (Where to eat, what to do, how to live your best life—you name it.)
I had been wanting to stay here for a while because, you know, everybody was hyping it up. And let me tell you—I was NOT disappointed.
The kitchen? Fully equipped with everything you need. The bathroom? The same. The whole apartment? Has everything for a perfect stay in the heart of the city.
The location? Chef’s kiss. Close to the center, train station, and shops.
No, I was not paid to write this review. This is straight from the heart. Pure emotion.
I shed two tears when I left today. Two. This doesn’t happen often. 🤭
2. So, dear future guests, book this place with confidence. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
3. And now, dear Sergiu (the host), this one’s for you. Please, never give up on this beautiful work. You rule. I truly felt at home. I’ll definitely be back. And thanks for checking up on me ! —felt cute and wholesome. 🤗
Hugs 🤗🤗
With much appreciation and admiration,

What could be improved: Not applicable 🙂Everything was as expected, clean, good neighbourhood. – Ioana-diana from Romania – December 16, 2024 (9/10)
The location was amazing, close to the city center and everything we needed.
Enjoyed a comfortable and pleasant stay – would highly recommend! – Daniel from Romania – December 9, 2024 (10/10)
We had a wonderful experience staying in the apartment. The apartment was really comfortable and clean. But the biggest advantage of the apartment was its convenient location. There are a lot of stores near by and also most of the city’s main attractions were close enough to reach by foot.Overall, the apartment is a great choice for travelers looking for a clean, well-situated place to stay.
What could be improved: NAAmazing! – Buduşan from Romania – December 8, 2024 (10/10)
The host was extremely friendly and
accommodating to our case since part of the group arrived in the morning and another part in the evening. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Finally, the location is great for first-timers like ourselves, as we could walk everywhere and the car stayed safely parked.Exceptional – Erika from Italy – November 30, 2024 (10/10)
Kind host, comfortable and aesthetic apartment , it has all needed utilities.
