Matei Corvin Deluxe Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Matei Corvin Deluxe Apartment on Strada Universitatii, you immediately get why this place has such stellar reviews. The building sits right in the heart of Cluj-Napoca’s university district, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you tried. It’s one of those spots where you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something locals would keep to themselves — which, given the 9.8 rating, clearly isn’t happening anymore.

The Space

This isn’t your typical hotel room setup — you’re getting a proper apartment that feels more like borrowing a friend’s really nice place than staying somewhere temporary. The kitchen is actually functional (not just a sad mini-fridge situation), which means you can grab fresh produce from the nearby Piața Centrală and actually do something with it. I mean, Cluj has incredible restaurant options, but sometimes you just want to make coffee the way you like it, you know?

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally steps from the university area, which means the neighborhood has that perfect mix of academic energy and real city life. The old town is a quick walk away, and you can hit Piața Unirii without breaking a sweat. What’s really smart about staying here is that you’re close enough to everything that matters, but you’re not dealing with the tourist crowd noise that can make other central locations feel overwhelming.

The Experience

This four-star setup really delivers on the details that make a difference. The apartment feels thoughtfully designed rather than just decorated — like someone actually considered how people live and move through a space. There’s proper parking available, which anyone who’s tried to navigate Cluj’s old streets with a rental car will appreciate. The whole place has this clean, modern vibe that still feels warm and livable.

Why Guests Love It

Look, a 9.8 rating doesn’t happen by accident, and after staying here, it makes complete sense. You get the independence of having your own space with all the backup support of a professional accommodation. The university district location means you’re surrounded by good energy — students, professors, locals going about their daily lives — rather than just other tourists taking photos of the same landmarks. Plus, you can actually spread out and live a little instead of cramming everything into a standard hotel room for your entire stay.

Reviews of Matei Corvin Deluxe Apartment

  • Wonderful – Oli from United Kingdom – July 30, 2024 (9/10)

    Huge, huge rooms, very centrally located for wandering around Cluj. Near nice bars and restaurants, and on a pedestrianised street, so not much noise. Well apportioned bathroom (there was a minor drainage issue, but it was fixed very quickly), and a great kitchen. The provision of balcony was great too. I stayed during the summer, with temperatures in the high 30s, and the AC worked well and didn't blow cold air on the bed (although no AC in the rest of the apartment or 2nd bedroom). Loved the characterful entrance door and grand stairwell too!

    What could be improved: As it was very hot during my stay, an additional AC unit in the 2nd bedroom would have been nice, but a fan was provided on request. Very little else that wasn't right!

  • Great stay, great city, beautiful apartment – P from United States – June 5, 2024 (10/10)

    Location in the heart of Old city was perfect. The apartment was clean and beautiful decorated, loved the vintage charm of the building.

  • Excellent location, spacious and well furnished apartment – Patrick from Netherlands – May 6, 2024 (9/10)

    Excellent location, could not be more central. Authentic apartment building. Nicely furnished, very spacious, comfortable rooms

  • Nice apartment with the best location – Andy from Romania – November 20, 2023 (10/10)

    The best part about the place is its location, in the heart of the old Town, walking distance from main touristic attractions. The apartment is very comfortable, very well equipped, spacious and clean.

    What could be improved: It wasn't very convenient for us the fact that we didn't have a living room, after putting the kids to sleep the only place we could spend some time together was the kitchen, but we managed. It was a nice stay overall

  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND! – Brenda from United States – November 4, 2023 (10/10)

    Luxurious Accommodations! Excellent Location!

  • Luxurious property located in the historic old town of Cluj Napoca – Moshe from United Kingdom – September 3, 2023 (10/10)

    Luxurious property located in the historic old town of Cluj Napoca. Any cleaning materials needed for the stay were already there. It’s clear that cleanliness and a little luxury are important to the owners. The owners in turn were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had.
