Old Tower Apartments

Old Tower Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Old Tower Apartments sits on a quiet street in Cluj-Napoca that feels worlds away from the tourist crowds, even though you’re actually just minutes from the old town. The building itself has this understated charm — you know, the kind of place where locals would live rather than some flashy hotel complex. It’s a solid three-star setup, but honestly, it punches above its weight in terms of what you get for your money.

Location & Getting Around

Strada Dávid Ferenc is one of those residential streets that gives you a real feel for how Cluj actually works. You’re close enough to walk to the main square in about ten minutes, but far enough out that you’ll hear birds in the morning instead of traffic. The neighborhood has a couple of local cafés and a small grocery store — nothing fancy, but exactly what you need when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where things get interesting — each apartment feels like staying in someone’s well-kept home rather than a generic hotel room. The kitchen setups are actually functional (I mean, you can cook a proper meal here), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The furnishing is simple but thoughtful — wooden floors, decent lighting, and windows that actually open wide enough to let in fresh air.

What Makes It Work

You know what impressed me most? The little details that show someone actually cares about this place. The WiFi works properly throughout the building, the beds are comfortable enough that you’ll sleep well, and there’s adequate parking if you’re driving — which in Cluj’s old center can be a real headache elsewhere. The whole setup feels more like renting a friend’s place than checking into a hotel, which is either exactly what you want or completely wrong for you, depending on your travel style.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.5 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here a few days. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — there’s no spa or fancy restaurant downstairs — but what it does, it does well. You get independence, a real sense of the neighborhood, and enough comfort to feel settled. Plus, the value is genuinely good for what Cluj has become these days. If you’re the type who prefers exploring local spots over hotel amenities, this place gets it right.

Apartments in Cluj-Napoca suit families with hilltop windows, full kitchens, and sunset walks through Mănăștur parks.

  What could be improved: –

• Well-Located and Cozy, with a Curious Design – Pao-chang from Austria – July 3, 2025 (8/10)

  The location is excellent — all the major attractions are within walking distance. Communication with the host was smooth and timely; he always responded quickly, which I really appreciated.
  
  The room is on the top floor without elevator access, so travelers with large luggage might want to keep that in mind. The bed is very comfortable, and it's quiet in the evening, which makes for a good night’s rest.
  
  One small note: the curtains don’t completely block out the light. So if you’re sensitive to brightness while sleeping, you might want to bring an eye mask.
  
  WIFI works perfectly.
  
  What could be improved: The design of the room is quite… unique. When you enter, you're met with a large wall right next to a small table and two chairs (the bed is tucked away behind the wall). It’s not a big issue — just took me a moment to get used to the layout.

• I liked our stay in the apartment. Strongly recommended! – Alma from Italy – August 12, 2025 (8/10)

  The Location and the style of the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The bed sheet looked dusty and overused.
  There were no toiletries except for hand soap.

• Cheap location for brief stays – Alexandru from Denmark – September 2, 2025 (6/10)

  Location and online responsiveness was great. Easy checkin and checkout. All the basics that you need were included.
  
  What could be improved: Don't let the pictures impress, they are taken at good angles. Stained towels, stained bedsheets and pillow covers, huge dusty spider webs on the corner of the bedroom. Room service left the mop and their things and half empty water bottle. The bathroom was not clean… There were hairs in the shower. There was a lot of dust on the shelves near the bed…. The place feels like it's put together with a mix of new and old things and a lot of rough edges with no attention to detail – a bit unsettling

• basic choice without any expetation – Flavio from Italy – August 23, 2025 (5/10)

  position more than perfect
  
  What could be improved: the bathroom is completely uncomfortable
