City Apartment Dorobantilor Overview
First Impressions
City Apartment Dorobantilor sits right on one of Cluj-Napoca’s busiest boulevards, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. You’ll spot it easily on Calea Dorobantilor — the building has that solid, urban feel that tells you this is a place where locals actually live. It’s not trying to be fancy, but when you step inside, the three-star rating makes perfect sense.
Location That Actually Works
The thing about staying on Calea Dorobantilor is that you’re genuinely in the heart of things without being stuck in tourist central. I mean, you can walk to the old town in about fifteen minutes, but you’re also surrounded by the kind of cafés and shops that Cluj residents actually use. There’s a Mega Image supermarket practically next door, which — trust me — you’ll appreciate when you want to grab snacks or drinks without paying hotel prices.
The Apartment Experience
What struck me about this apartment setup is how much space you actually get. The room feels more like a proper studio than a cramped hotel box, and the kitchenette — well, it’s basic but functional. You’ve got a fridge, microwave, and enough counter space to make coffee or heat up leftovers. The bed was comfortable enough (I’m picky about mattresses), and there’s decent storage space for longer stays.
Practical Details
The Wi-Fi works well throughout the place, which matters when you’re trying to navigate Cluj or catch up on work. Parking can be a bit tricky on this street — it’s mostly street parking, and Calea Dorobantilor gets busy during the day. But honestly, that’s just Cluj for you. The building itself feels secure, and the staff (when you need them) are straightforward and helpful without being overly chatty.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t the kind of place with a fancy lobby or concierge service, but that 9.5 rating tells the real story. People come here because it works — you get proper space, you’re well-located, and the price point makes sense. It’s especially good if you’re staying more than a night or two, since having that kitchen space and room to spread out makes a difference. Plus, being on a main street means you’re never far from transport or food options, day or night.

Reviews of City Apartment Dorobantilor
Perfect alternative to a hotel. – Marcu from Ireland – February 2, 2025 (10/10)
Our host was extremely forthcoming with providing the information we needed to reach the destination, to enter the property and to familiarise ourselves with the area.
There were treats and teas and coffees to chose from.
The property was spotless, all bed lining was freshly ironed, the towels felt like very good quality, overall it felt like the experience in a very good hotel.
What could be improved: We didn’t experience any inconvenience or dislike.Great place so close to the city center – Adrian from Romania – July 25, 2024 (9/10)
Superb place with underground parking right next to the city center. Walking distances to most landscapes. Many facilities. Great host. We’ll come back.
Exceptional – Daniel from United Kingdom – October 1, 2023 (10/10)
The accommodation is excellent for a family of 4 like we were. In the sofabed in livingroom can sleep 2 however I found that the blanket was a bit too small. The flat is equipped with everything to make staying enjoyable.
Location is a plus. You are within walking distance from main centre and there are loads of places to eat out.
Host was very helpful.Very comfortable and incredible location. – Ligia from United States – July 9, 2023 (9/10)
Furnished well. All modern.
Great to have a nice balcony where I took my coffee every morning.
Fairly spacious.
What could be improved: The kitchen left a lot to be desired. Incredibly small. No toaster as the electrical couldn’t handle it. Coffee machine could be better.Definitely a very nice place to stay – Cosmin from Romania – June 27, 2023 (10/10)
Very clean and nice furnished. The owner was willing to help with everything.

Locație, parcare subterană
We had a lovely time in Cluj and were very satisfied with this apartment. – Brenner from Canada – April 19, 2023 (10/10)
The apartment was very nicely decorated and very clean. Plenty of space for our family of 4. We were very comfortable. The host was very quick to reply and helpful. We were even able to check in an hour early. Apartment is well located near the downtown core and we were able to explore the city without needing transportation.
A nice option to stay in Cluj city centre! – Cozma from Romania – February 26, 2023 (8/10)
Location, personnel, communication, clean house.
What could be improved: Dorm was a bit noisy, thin walls.Exceptional – Hagar from Israel – September 7, 2025 (10/10)
אהבנו את הדירה הגדולה והיפה.
מיקום מצויין
מכונת כביסה
מטבח מאובזר בכל מה שצריך כולל מכונת קפה.
חניה מתחת לבניין.Nagyon kedves és segítő kész tulaj, lehetőség volt a tovább maradásra is a kijelentkezéskor, teljesen jól felszerelt apa – Zsolt from Hungary – August 11, 2025 (10/10)
Minden volt amire szüksége lehet egy párnak a kényelmes kikapcsolódáshoz, jól felszerelt apartman.
What could be improved: A bejárati ajtót kellett figyelmesebben becsukni, mert néha a huzat kinyitotta, illetve a hűtő fagyasztója már nagyon be volt fagyva, kell majd neki egy leengedés.
